Most impactful TV shows of all time? Not just ones you liked, but ones that got you through stuff, made your heart ache, made you feel like the characters were your friends. Ones you couldn't wait to see the next episode of because you were so invested in what happens next. Ones you'd record on your VCR if you're old like me because you couldn't bear to miss them and waiting for a rerun or video release just wasn't an option.
My answer?
Gee, I don't know, guess?
Buffy the Vampire Slayer - no contest.
It's the only television series that I got obsessed enough over to write about.
And join a fandom. And a spoiler board to speculate on what would happen next.
And I kept the VCRs until the died, then shifted to DVDs, and read the comics.
Also Buffy in some ways saved me. I was in a horrible work situation, the less said about the better -- and the Buffy fan community helped me stay sane.
What are yours?

Grey's Anatomy and Gilmore Girls the most - I just find both to be rather comforting at times.
I also rather loved Vampire Diaries, Veronica Mars and Merlin.
