"giles has a tv, he's shallow like us!"

These days, most of my television viewing hours are made up of watching shows that haven't actually been made in the last ten years. While I do keep up with The Voice (go Dia!) and So You Think You Can Dance, I have decided to boycott The Bachelorette this season because I really just can't watch five minutes of it without wanting to hit Ashley over the head with a blunt object. So instead, I go back to the good 'ole days with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Freaks and Geeks and The Wonder Years.
Because really, what better fills a late summer night than Buffy kicking butt, an old school stoned James Franco and the timeless love of Kevin Arnold and Winnie Cooper? This is my official thank you note to TeenNick and The Hub for airing these shows so that more generations can be exposed to their greatness. These are definitely a better alternative to the average average TeenNick schedule which is basically the All-Degrassi-All-the-Time network. And starting this fall (dangit I'll be back in school), they'll be airing pretty much my entire childhood in the form of 90s television: All That, Rugrats, Kenan and Kel, The Adventures of Pete & Pete and Clarissa Explains It All. Now we just need Boy Meets World back in syndication and we'll be good to go.

Just a warning from my own experience though, you might not want to watch Buffy right before going to sleep in case of some very weird dreams. Such as being followed by a live ventriloquist dummy during school only to have it burst into a pile of snakes and brains, which you have to then destroy...
