Curiously, the original article 
(http://www.reason.com/0308/cr.vp.why.shtml) explains some of why I'm 
uneasy about buffy: the extent to which it carries Standardized American 
Memes (good and bad). American tolerance/demand for Moral Closure seems 
to be very high, cf. all those films where the guy who has been tempted 
by the dark side dies heroically, etc, etc, etc ... I'll stop here, 
before this ends up knee-deep in sex, religion, politics, or all three.

WHAAAAAT?!
WTF do you mean, "best TV series ever?"
FFS, if I mailed the list and asked what the best way was to sort 
alphanumerics, find fish, harvest raspberries, or add one, there would 
be about fifteen different recommendations, two of which would involve 
Befunge. By the same toucan, "best TV series" is not a sensible thing to 
look for. And that's quite apart from being imprisoned in the Cult Zone 
of Prisoner, Buffy, Dr$Who, Twin Peaks, etc

Still, at least it's not Eastenders.
