like cults, in a way
TV Guide just revamped their list of top cult hits, which should be of interest to fandom, I think, since "cult hit" makes a giant overlapping Venn diagram with "fandom favorites."
I am sanguine about most of the list, except -- okay, come on. Obviously Jericho is riding high right now on its uncancellation, but -- ELEVENTH PLACE? More cult cred than MST3K, than Battlestar Galactica, than BABYLON 5 and DOCTOR WHO? Really, TV Guide? Really?? I find that...inexplicable.

I have trouble believing that "The Simpsons" and "Lost" quite qualify as "cult," though...and that SGA, Roswell, and a couple of others were left off. *grin* And Jericho, seriously, I agree with you 100%.

And yeah, Simpsons? Maybe it used to be cultish. Not so lately.
