Ali Rome – Star Trek: The Next Generation, DS9 & Voyager
“Star Trek has been my longest-running love and obsession; it is my mashed potato TV and I can consume it for breakfast, lunch and dinner.” » About the Artist

 
Ally Bonino – Parks and Recreation
“Parks and Rec is incredibly smart, fall-off-your-chair funny, and has the kind of heart that keeps you coming back for more – even when you’ve seen each episode a hundred times…which, like…no judgment…I have.” » About the Artist

 
Brian Lobel – Sex & The City
“They say the unexamined life is a life not worth living. But what if the examining becomes your life, is that really living or just procrastinating? What if all those helpful lunches and late night phone calls to friends have made us all girl talk and no girl action. Is it time to stop asking questions?” – Carrie Bradshaw, Sex & The City, 2004. » About the Artist

Joe Fejeran – The O.C.
“Before bingeing shows on streaming was a thing, I used to break out my boxed set of The O.C. when I was nursing a broken heart. Nothing quite like the problems of straight, wealthy, white people to ease my own emotional wounds.” » About the Artist

Kristina Wong – The Flavor of Love Dynasty
“Flavor of Love is an American reality television dating game show starring Flavor Flav of the rap group Public Enemy. It’s a modern-day minstrel show where mostly women of color actively engage in the reversal of all the progress of the civil rights movement; I watched because it was like performance art with the complete inverse of any progressive social commentary.” » About the Artist

Louise White – The Real Housewives Franchise 
“The Real Housewives live in incredible houses (even the poor ones). They behave appallingly. They are flawed. They are vulnerable. They are all of us. But also, totally not, because they are really, really, really, disgustingly rich.” » About the Artist

 
Nina Muehlemann – Gilmore Girls
“As a confused, lonely teen I was fascinated by the almost fairy-tale world of Gilmore Girls. As I got older, I realized how flawed the characters are despite the wholesome backdrop, and I have also recently become a single mum (although a queer, disabled one who will never have hair as shiny as Lorelai’s!), so I relate to the show in whole new ways.” » About the Artist

Ruairí Ó’Donnabháin – Queer As Folk
“I was 14 when Queer As Folk first aired, and I watched it filled with nervous energy, my finger hovering over the ‘last channel’ button in case anyone walked into the room. This seminal classic taught a generation of queer men how to ‘relate’ to each other and a society which still viewed us as delinquent. What can it teach you?” //
“Nuair a craoladh Queer As Folk den chéad uair ní raibh mé ach 14 bliana d’aois agus bhreathnaigh mé air líonta le fuinneamh neirbhíseach mo mhéar crochta os chionn an ‘last channel button’ ar eagla na h’eagla go siúl duine isteach sa seomra.” » About the Artist

Rory Lipede – Star Trek: The Original Series
“I often feel ‘misplaced’: improperly categorized and so therefore overlooked and forgotten. My boundaries having already been set for me, my existence has been reduced to questions of race, gender, age and weight. It’s when I want to feel free of these boundaries that I enter the world of Star Trek: The Original Series.” » About the Artist

Season Butler – The Simpsons
“The Simpsons was a constant in my childhood. It profits from the sitcom form beautifully: the least-compatible companions find their way back to each other; the most dysfunctional characters are redeemed; the most terrifying situations lose their sting in the end. Happiness forgets, as the saying goes; The Simpsons is positively amnesiac.” » About the Artist
