Unrelated to the crab rumor: I know a few people from college who went on to become Disney princesses. There is apparently a promotion ladder you climb (e.g., first Pocahontas then Jasmine ... ending with Cinderella)

I've had that happen on the bus before. I can only imagine what everyone was thinking as I flailed about like a seizure victim trying to fight the eyelash.

I'm not sure that I'd for sure name it best (it's kind of unfair to compare all different sorts of TV shows together in one category), but it's certainly the one I return to over and over and over again. (Too bad not all of the seasons were of equal quality, though.)

Part of the impact of West Wing was the marked contrast between Josiah Bartlett's administration and the real-life version under Bush and Cheney.
- Mark "DerBingle" J
That may account for some of its popularity, Mark, but I think West Wing was popular for what marks a lot of Sorkin shows: excellent dialogue, fantastic mix of comedy and drama, supernal ensemble casting...and the extra for West Wing was being able to geek out over all that governmental stuff. The dialogue was so thick with it that repeat viewings reward you. Takes several times seeing an ep before you really feel you've gotten everything out of it.

Without looking at other answers: Homicide, particularly the first year.

First season of Miami Vice... unfadeable baby!

The West Wing was so awesome I remember bit characters. Like the guy in records or something who had the best line ever. "Well you're a strange little frumpy man, aren't you?" Of all the series I've loved, this one lasts the longest.

None of the above. But. Mad Men is climbing the charts fast. Still. WW is in the stratosphere, and nothing will touch it.

I've been watching it again on DVD. In fact, watching it right now... Jean-Paul just spiked her drink, Tae Diggs is talking to a bunch of folks about to get it... uh oh... aaaaand.... poor Molly...

Plus most of the rest that ya'll listed. Good picks! :-)

better than TWW: Arrested Development, Futurama, Veronica Mars, The Simpsons (uh, stopping somewhere between end of season 9 and season 12 at the latest), 30 Rock, Community, and Newsradio. Action, Pushing Daisies, and Life, too if we can sneak in those shows that were "cancelled before their time". Buffy up to S5 but not past it. Esp considering the relative doldrums of TWW s3 - s6.
- Andrew C
That's easy, 24 and X-Files are far better. :-)

Guess I'm just one of those peeps who think the west wing was boring. Couldn't get through an episode. Was more interested in ER at the time.

Rome series 1, BSG reimagined, Sportsnight, Buffy, Farscape, Magnum PI, Red Dwarf, Thundar the Barbarian, Underdog, M.A.S.H., Password, What's My Line?, I Love Lucy, The Carol Burnett Show all rank pretty high with me. I'm sure I missed some. Loved West Wing in doses, but it became taxing for me to watch.
- Michael W. May
West Wing is a tough show to compare shows to. As far as must watch TV: Damages, Flash Forward, Rescue Me, Dark Blue, Fringe, Lie To Me... This would be easier if I was near my DVR!

The West Wing might be my FAVORITE series but I think the BEST series was The Wire.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Good show, but best ever? Don't think so. The Wire and Rome, for instance, are way better. Heroes Season 1 (only), Kings, The Black Donnellys, Babylon 5, New BSG before season 4 are some more. Andrew C names a bunch more that I agree with.

Did Goldman Sachs intentionally sell bad mortgages to their customers, then bet against them because they knew they were bad, winning both ways? SEC investigation underway: http://www.nytimes.com/2009...
Unfortunately, based on track record, the chances of the SEC actually uncovering anything are slim, and even if they do the chances of them doing anything beyond a slap on the wrist are even slimmer. Goldman seems to contend they were just giving customers what they wanted, and made it clear that they thought they were risky and were shorting them as they sold them.
- Ed Millard
Of course the ratings agencies were all rating this garbage as AAA, and the challenge is to figure out if Goldman did or didn't warn their customers off investments they apparently knew were bad and knew as early as 2005-2006 when they started actively shorting them.

"Previously mentioned web service Backupify backs up all your online accounts (Gmail, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, and a ton more) to the cloud, normally for a nominal fee—but until January 31, 2010, all Backupify accounts will be free with unlimited storage. After this period, the service will go back to a paid pricing structure. Anyone who signs up for an account during this free period, however, will remain free—and unlimited—forever. So if you've been considering the service (or feel the need to backup your Gmail, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, Wordpress, or many other supported online accounts), now is the time to sign up. If you don't see your service listed, sign up anyway—they've announced that YouTube and Linkedin backups are coming soon, and they plan to continue to launch support for more services. It can't hurt—after all, it doesn't get much cheaper than free. [Backupify via ZDNet]"

Sign up form not working for me. Oh well.

Are they really backing up Facebook? I was reading the FB developer platform policies earlier this week and they seem to ban any third parties from caching most FB data for more than 24 hours, unless Backupify cut some special deal with Zuckerberg. http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.... Am I misreading this or does all your FB data really belong to Zuckerberg.

Yeah, I may yet write it but not today or tomorrow. And Sarah, the hope would be to be the friendly atheist, and limit the drama. But that might not be possible.

Yeah, it is weird and a half. I understand on the regular channel, since a lot of their audience doesn't have HDTV's, but for the ones who do it is way more likely they'd have a 16x9. *sigh* If I was REALLY motivated, I'd dig out my DVD.

Are they trimming the length, or cropping the picture? Actually, it'd be weird if they were cropping the picture; it was shot 1.37:1. Assuming you mean the 1946 version.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
They're cropping the picture - not a huge amount, but watching Dark Passage after, you can tell that they cropped off the edges a bit (it was also not as good of a transfer).

On my second Logitech MX 518 since they were introduced. The first had the courtesy to die about 3 weeks before the warranty was up. It had seen more gaming hours that rated, I would expect... heh. I've always been happy with that model.

"Mixing hints of Chuck Taylors with military style, the Converse by John Varvatos Bosey Boots ($300) are a great fit for the winter weather. The boots feature a distressed twill and leather upper, a rubber toe cap and sole, a height of around 10 inches, and a belt detail in the back for a proper fit."
