Because it's inevitable.

Already know full and well from you people which sitcoms and comedies to watch, so I'm going for the other side and looking for more dramas.

Anyone know any shows similar to Twin Peaks? Or Lynch-esque at all, I suppose.

Oh, forgot we had a Telly section for a moment there. Probably shouldn't post just after waking up...

Don't really know any shows similar to Twin Peaks. Maybe you'd like Carnivale? Since it has that actor who played The Man from Another Place and is at least reminiscent on a stylistic level.

Otherwise, Deadwood sounds like something you'd like, if only for Al Swearengen.

Watching the Fox 25th anniversary special tonight, I'm reminded that "The Post-Modern Prometheus" is the only X-Files episode I've seen.

Any suggestions for which I should watch next?

There's a lot of good ones, but I can't think of any titles off the top of my head.

Also, was it just me or did they not have a segment on Married With Children? (I missed the first 20 minutes) Or KOTH?

Did they have one for Brisco County? Fox HQ will burn if they didn't.

If they did, it was too brief to catch.

I still wish that someone came out and apologized to Joss for canceling Firefly, but of course that didn't happen.

Both KOTH and Futurama got brief mentions during the Fox Animation segment, although Family Guy kind of dominated that part(The Simpsons later had its own segment).  Don't know about Brisco though, it might have gotten mentioned during the dramas segment or something.
It doesn't matter what you say, soon you'll be dead anyway.
