And I agree, Buffy had the deadliest and sweetest senior prom ever.

Veronica Mars should have come in higher than #10, though.

Yep, I would put it at number 4, I think. BTW, so glad I actually found something interesting for my very first Front Page story :) So happy to be here.

Of course, it's vogue to ignore or discount BtVS. Jealousy isn't pretty.

I don't think it works that way. But apparently it's vogue to offer an opinion based on less than half the knowledge required.

I would have liked Veronica Mars to be a wee bit higher - although perhaps a little like Buffy, school wasn't (always) the most important thing in the show.

It's an AOL list about tv shows, not the top 10 amendments to the constitution.
The 21st. Totally.

[ETA: So, I went to Youtube to listen to the Fame theme song, which had begun pounding in my head, in hopes of getting it out. And one of the very first links I found was...something that struck me as ironic, given the thrust of my previous comment. Check it out here. Willow and Dr. Horrible (yes, yes, I know they're castmates on HIMYM, but that's how I think of them) introducing Veronica Mars to perform the theme from Fame. So wrong...yet so right. This must be what serendipity feels like.]

BTW, BtVS will always be first in my heart.

Also, agreed with Simon that Recess definitely deserves more love in general but especially when talking about shows about school.
gus | September 07, 13:45 CET
I love recess. I'm not kidding, I actually DVR it, lol.

Interestingly, I happened to run across that Kristen Bell/Alyson/NPH video on YouTube earlier today while looking up clips from Reefer Madness. :D

-- you know, looking over this list I'm thinking Felicity belongs on a different list - Best College Shows? And if they do that list, Buffy should appear again, I think.

Wot, no Grange Hill?
Yeah, no love for Tucker over the pond ;).

I'd have to go with MSCL for #1, because I still don't think of BtS as a "school show", despite the "High School is hell" metaphor of the first three (out of seven)seasons, which was only one metaphor of many.
Qualifier here: I've never seen Veronica Mars, my local satellite provider didn't/doesn't contract with the WB/CW. (Thus my late-comer status to Jossverse fandom).
But MSCL was unambiguously a "school show", the only really quality High School show ever, IMO.

Am I the only one excited to see Dobie Gillis mentioned?
redeem147 | September 08, 06:13 CET
It's good to see Friday Night Lights getting some recognition. It's not just a football show, just like Buffy wasn't just a monster show. I do love the football and monsters though. Ooh they should have a high school show centering on monster slaying football players!

Can we amend the Constitution to retroactively award Buffy an Emmy? I think getting properly recognized for being awesome is in the Bill of Rights somewhere.

Be it also known here and forthwith that in the future there will be a televisual entertainment medium and that one such presentation or 'program' amongst those programs broadcast will be more deserving than others of garnering awards for achievement in said medium; we, assembled, do swear and affirm that the 'program' in question is entitled 'Buffy, Slayer of the Vampyres'.
ETA - ESG - speaking for myself, at least, I was reaffirming the awesomeness of FNL, while also agreeing about 90210. Donna Martin graduates!

Actually, magic is real. And always has consequences, to quote my favorite ever vampire. ;-)
