Life is full of classics--those things that never go out of style and always delight: Levis. Coffee and donuts. Thank-you notes. Cats. Agatha Christie.

The Challenge: Imagine you're introducing a sweet, friendly alien to the delightful medium of genre television, broadly defined. Which shows must she watch first? Which are classics?
