Big bang theory. Sheldon made me realise that I am often selfish, compulsive neurotic, socially inept, an asshole without realising/ wanting it and super intelligent.

How I Met Your Mother
Wonβt pretend itβs the greatest of shows but, for a couple lonelier years a while back, they were my best friends
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?
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 ;_;
Zelgadis got dunked by the show itself for doing that, especially later on. 
But he was sooo cool
Amelia certainly thought so.
I suppose look for your Amelia.
Or don't. 
Star Wars Rebels really showed me what found family is, as someone who has never really felt like they fit in very well with their blood family.
Andor honestly helped me realize how I feel politically, though obviously, the US is not anywhere remotely close to the empire, it is a road I fear it could reach the end of.
No show had a bigger impact on me than Neon Genesis
Breaking Bad. I made so much money after my meth improved (sorry for ruining your moving story with a bad joke)
No offense taken. Any bad joke is a good joke to someone else. =)
