Moving into the Holiday Spirit and the giving season, I want to make it clear I will forever be thankful to the TV Gods for the gift of television. Without TV I would not have had access to many of the things that have, ultimately, made me who I am. First and foremost: I would not have had access to Cardcaptor Sakura and Digimon, which have been incredibly influential in my life. Same with the movie Fantasia– I was not born in the 40s, so it was thanks to TV I had access to one of my earliest Disney inspirations. That said, I am also thankful for some TV bullets I have dodged over the years and some I wish I could put a big bow on and regift to some other unexpecting soul (no judgments): Twin Peaks, How I Met Your Mother, Dragonball Z, Sword Art Online, and Darling in the Franxx.
