Friends
ER almost made me become a doctor, I could have easily seen myself going down that path. I thought it was much more expensive in my country for medical school than it actually was, so I didn't go into medicine because of that, and then after I realized I was wrong about how much it would cost it made me realize okay maybe I wasn't smart enough to be a doctor to begin with.
Silicon Valley inspired me to continue working hard on one of my Java-based personal projects. I'd love to say it's a hugely massive success and I have hundreds or thousands of customers, but it's still just a personal project for fun at this point and probably always will be.
I don't think I'd be the same person without Adventure Time
Star Trek and Xena too.
Gargoyles. TNMT. Don't have the verbiage to explain the impact. Just a feeling.
Gargoyles consistently slips under people's radar and that's so sad, as it was such a great cartoon. I mean who doesn't want Jonathan Frakes voicing the big bad?
There's two shows that I started watching in my formative years (16-ish) that had a big impact on me: Frasier and Smallville. Frasier is still one of my favourite shows of all time. Recently watched a bit of Smallville again and it's... Not that good.
How I Met Your Mother
Won’t pretend it’s the greatest of shows but, for a couple lonelier years a while back, they were my best friends
In Living Color. Man, the talent on that show was unbelievable: Almost the complete family Wayans, Jamie Foxx, Jim Carrey ... they all started with that show. And Jennifer Lopez was on the dance crew! Look up the skits on Youtube or Piped. The comedy I saw on that show was transformative. It's 30 years later and I'm still quoting Hans & Franz, Men on film, or Calhoun Tubbs regularly.
Slayers, the anime. I thought emulating Zelgadis and acting all quiet and mysterious would make me look cool and get me a lot of friends.
It didn't ;_;
No show had a bigger impact on me than Neon Genesis
Beakmans world. Way better than that sham Bill Nye. Also I had a crush on Josie.
