    %22Ron Swanson Pyramid of Greatness%22 T-shirt From 'Parks and Recreation'

    Buy it!

    In a January 2011 episode of 'Parks and Rec,' Libertarian department head Ron Swanson unveiled his magnum opus, a geometrically shaped chart he'd spent years perspiring over (not emotionally, of course): The Swanson Pyramid of Greatness. Among other kernels of sage Swansonisms, the Pyramid dictates that finding romantic love is equivalent, greatness-wise, to eating deer protein; that human torsos should be "thick and impenetrable;" and that when confronted with a buffet, greatness is achieved when you "choose quantity over quality." Ron, you had us at "deer protein."

    'Misfits' dolls

    Buy it!

    While these dolls from the beloved British cult hit 'Misfits' are super adorable, they don't possess their small-screen alter egos' super powers. Which is probably for the best, since that means there will be no dead bodies to clean up.

    'Burn Notice' Keychain

    Buy it!

    When you slip him your keys, let the valet at that swanky Miami mojito joint know that you're a highly skilled black belt-turned-burned covert op to be reckoned with. This faithful rendering of the Florida plate adorning Michael Westen's iconic 1973 Dodge Charger will, true to the show's title, get you noticed -- but not too noticed. Because, you know, you work undercover and stuff.

    'Joanie Loves Chachi,' 'The Greatest American Hero,' 'Fraggle Rock,' 'A Different World' -- there was so much rad TV in the 1980s, how could one ever decide which show was raddest? Well, why not have your buddies over for brewskis, slip these coasters under their suds cans, then just sit back and watch the "Greatest American Sitcom Debate" inevitably unfold. (In case of a tie, the correct answer is 'The Greatest American Hero.')
