I love the LOC, too, and I was on their Prints and Photographs website every day for the last two weeks, searching for high-quality images for a work project. Thank God for LOC because they keep original negatives and transparencies when lately it seems like all image collections are a 'race to the bottom' quality-wise.

I love the LC, too. A big shout-out to the folks who work in the Moving Images Reading Room, where I have spent many an hour watching old TV shows and sorting through microfilm. The librarians are terrific, and the Reading Room is very generous with its access to researchers. Extras: You get your own "reserve" shelf in the back if you're viewing lots of materials over several visits; there are lockers on site for your things (so you don't necessarily have to relinquish everything at the entrance to the building).
