Elements or Lower

And thus do I briefly celebrate what may be a Juncture of Great Import in the history of broadcast television: the celestial alignment of such glorious entertainment that angelic choirs doth erupt and spew from the Sky. Alas, it cannot last.

1. Doctor Who

   Gather round, my children, for this is the Boe Selector.

2. Lost

   Though some may turn their heads away, I am not of their number. Give me flashbacks or give me death.

3. Battlestar Galactica

   Kneel, good people, and worship at the altar of Baltar.

4. 24

   As the scriptures tell us, “Guns don’t kill people: Jack Bauer kills people.”

5. American Idol

   There are annals of secret shame in which may be found much from the Opus Nigellum.

6. The Apprentice

   And thus it comes to pass that the Badger may inherit the Earth.

7. My Name is Earl

   I, too, have wasted electricity, and saw that it was good.
