Firstly, just a quick note that for sweet charity, there has been actual bidding... on me! *makes almost only-dog-can-hear-frequency happy noises*
Doing a meme is totally cheating but basically this is what I'm reduced to since I've had shoulder pain of doom so my sitting in front of computer time has been severely reduced. Basically, I'm here until my shoulder notices what I'm doing and is all, "Um hello, remember me? I'm that pain that makes you feel like your whole arm is just going to drop right out. All I ask is that you don't drive/use the computer/actually have any weight hanging off me including your arm which I know you can't actually accomplish without amputation... " Did I mention my pain is a rambler?
So, that tv show meme that's been doing the rounds (ganked from PT) Spoilers for 2nd last season of Alias and Buffy.
Back in the Day: 5 TV Shows You Loved As A Kid
1. Quantum Leap
2. Fraggle Rock
3. You Can't Do That On Television
4. Hey Hey It's Saturday (What? I appealed to me as a wee little person... I realised the error of my ways as soon as I was old enough but it was the thing we all sat down to as a family to watch)
5. Days of Our Lives (I watched it with my mum... heh)
Who Would You Do?: 5 TV Characters You Would...Well, It's Self-Explanatory

What? No, No, I Don't Watch That...: 5 Guilty Pleasure TV Shows
1. America's Next Top Model (watched with my friend Dave who gets bitchy with some champagne in him... it's a thing.)
2. Felicity (because yes, I realise it's not the greatest most intelligent show or even sometimes mildly tolerable but there is something that appeals and ... you know? To hell with justification. I just have smooshy love for Ben even though I would never have him as a boyfriend if he was real because I'd have to start stapling things to him just to work out my frustration).
...I can't think of any others...

5. I can't not do this whole thing... (Angel)
Spike [as Rachel, falsetto]: How can I thank you, you mysterious, black-clad, hunk of a night thing?
Spike [as Angel, basso]: No need, little lady, your tears of gratitude are enough for me. You see, I was once a bad-ass vampire, but love and a pesky curse defanged me. Now I'm just a big, fluffy puppy with bad teeth. [Rachel sways closer to Angel; he steps back, warding her off with his hands.] No, not the hair! Never the hair!
Spike [as Rachel]: But there must be some way I can show my appreciation.
Spike [as Angel]: No, helping those in need's my job. And working up a load of sexual tension and prancing away like a magnificent poof is truly thanks enough!
Spike [as Rachel]: I understand. I have a nephew who's gay, so...
Spike [as Angel]: Ah. Say no more. Evil's still afoot ... and I'm almost out of that nancy-boy hair gel that I like so much. Quickly! To the Angelmobile — AWAY!

Hey Hey was great - or at least had it's moments. I went through a phase of taping that show. I still have dozens of tape of it. Fortunately, because my autistic nephew really loves the show and I'm transferring the tapes over to DVD for him.

So. Much. Word. At least Ruby furthers Sam's arc. Bela's just there to piss people off, it seems. I don't think they needed both of these characters around this season.
Also: I adore Spike's monologue when he's watching Angel and the damsel in distress talk. That's one of my favorite Spike and Angel moments ever. :)
I also like Spike saying that people are like Happy Meals with legs. *g*

Oooh, compared to other people who have commented it seems like I am in the minority! I was a die hard Buffy/Angel shipper back in the day so Riley was almost like the antichrist for me (and not in the fun Sammy Winchester way :P). I rewatched the whole series a couple of years ago and I liked him a bit better - but he's not a character I could really like.

HAHAHAHA! DITTO! Except we have Bris31 in addition to SBS, ABC, Seven, Nine and Ten. But Bris31 is a no-budget local station and I don't think I have even programmed it in to my last TV.

YES YES YES! That is one of my all-time favourite funny Spike moments. Especially the way he says "prancing away like a magnificent poof is truly thanks enough!" makes me laugh like a crazy person. Oh, I loved BtVS and Angel SO much...
