We just can’t get enough of ABC’s “Scandal.” Here are some reasons why this political thriller has us totally OBSESSED. Not that we owe you some sort of explanation or anything—we just happen to like it, all right?

1. Kerry Washington is PERFECT as Olivia Pope. And if you don’t think so, then that’s fine. You can think whatever you want to think, and so can we.

2. Alllll the drama. Maybe you disagree. That’s all right. If we wanted your blessing, we would’ve asked for it. Thanks!

3. It’s got a great cast, in our opinion, and whether or not you agree has no bearing on how we feel about the show whatsoever. Got it?

4. Sure, it’s not a thinker, but that’s fine. Why should we have to prove to you that the show is worthy of being liked? We just like it. It’s fun. So what?

5. Look, not every show needs to be fucking Mad Men, all right? It’s really none of your business what we choose to watch in our free time. That time is our time. OUR time.

6. Frankly, we didn’t really like Lost. Other people loved it! Just saying, people like different shows for all sorts of reasons, and they shouldn’t be judged for it.

7. It’s a perfectly fine show, okay? Jesus Christ, just let us have this one fun thing! Why try and ruin it for us? Why try and take it away? Go jerk off to Jon Hamm staring into space or standing in a door frame for half an hour. Fucking cable snobs.
