T.A.L.
Everyone knows that I am obsessed with This American Life (acronym TAL). Much like "Seinfeld," everything in life relates to an episode. So I am the one who annoyingly contributes to people's conversations about their real lives with how it relates to an story on TAL. The studios, being a world without TV, requires that I fill the hole of silence in some other way (and my DVD player is so touchy it only responds to discs in mint condition). So, starting mid-summer 2005, I have been systematically working my way back through the show's archives. I just started in on the 2001 episodes last week, and have been rationing them more lately because I know the supply is finite.
Here are some favorites:
2005:
Heretics #304
Godless America #290
2004:
Family Legend #270
2003:
The Middle of Nowhere #253
My Two Cents (Act III) #236
Say Anything #234
Starting from Scratch #233 (The Puppy Channel Episode)
Time to Save the World (Act II) #231
You Are So Beautiful...To Me #228 (The Parrot Episode)
2002:
Ask an Expert #215
Didn't Ask to Be Born #209
2001:
House on Loon Lake #199
That's as far as I've gotten.
I'm now making a concerted effort not to bring it up anymore...
