I'm biased, but I'll have to go for the greatest chimpanzee show ever - Lancelot Link Secret Chimp

otherwise the more obvious Mission Impossible, Lalo Schifrin's finest hour

Wallis and Gromet
Monty Python
Men Behaving Badly, it's bad but it's good, junk food and alcohol may be required to appreciate it.
Bugs Bunny,,,,, On with the show this is it...da der da, da der da,, da da da da da, da da da  - excellent for repetitive exercise for those of us with minimal brains.
Buffy
The Jetsons, I've heard it loud as an intro to a rock concert, cool.
The Simpsons version of The Flintstones.
Get Smart
Dexter
Black Books, everything about Black Books is good.

Breaking Bad. It's so simple and short and on with the show...
No churches have free wifi because they don't want to compete with an invisible force that works.

I got American Gothic.  Unfortunately I could only find the ending credits, which just gives a brief taste, but that show had nice music.

It's such a classic. <3
Law 35- "You got to go with what works." - Robin Lefler

Wiggum:"You have that much faith in me, Homer?"
Homer:"No! Faith is what you have in things that don't exist. Your awesomeness is real."

"I was thinking that perhaps this thing called God does not exist. Because He cannot save any one of us. No matter how we pray, He doesn't mend our wounds.

The essence of the mind is not in what it thinks, but how it thinks. Faith is the surrender of our mind; of reason and our skepticism to put all our trust or faith in someone or something that has no good evidence of itself. That is a sinister thing to me. Of all the supposed virtues, faith is not.
