SOYES! What are the overarching things that all geeks need to experience? Star Trek, Star Wars, a passing familiarity with comics (or at least the movies made from them)... Monty Python... Hitchhiker's... LotR (at least the movies), The Matrix (at least the first one), Harry Potter... and xkcd.
What are the personal things, that you believe all people in your friends group need to experience? Firefly, Dr. Horrible... Mel Brooks movies are common in my social circle (the aforementioned Blazing Saddles is one of them - though I haven't actually seen that one, either)... a smattering of webcomics (Questionable Content, Something*Positive, the aforementioned xkcd)... Fringe! Bones! House! HEROES!!! Oh, and Chuck, too. And... Dexter, though I wouldn't recommend it for everyone (some people wouldn't take to it, others I fear might a little too much).
Fringe is one of my favoritest shows. It has so much heart. It also has conspiracies, and freaky stuff. But mostly I watch it for the wonderful cast. It's one of those things where I wish I could write fanfic for it so I'd be able to experience it more, but nothing I write could ever be as good as the show itself.
