1. It would be David Lynch's return to the small screen.
After all -- my life is thoroughly bizarre, but it has a great soundtrack!

4. "Freaks and Geeks,"
with a bit of something weird -- "Wonderfalls," maybe, without the talking knick-knacks.

5. TV Melodrama
on the order of "Thirtysomething" or "Once and Again."

Too much drama, too much bullshit, sometimes self-inflicted, sometimes not.

9. Documentary about working in foodservice industry

12. One of those ubiquitous docudramas
about kids from awful families who run away from home and nearly self-destruct, only to finally overcome adversity to 'lead a normal life'.
