TV meme
Nicked from chrysalitron...
01. Name a TV show series in which you have seen every episode at least twice:
I don't think any, honestly, although I'd probably come close with NCIS or CSI, not counting the current seasons that haven't reaired.
02. Name a show you can't miss:
Only one? LOL. Since I just watched it, NCIS.
03. Name an actor that would make you more inclined to watch a show:
Nathan Fillion. I even tried to go back to Desperate Housewives for him. It didn't take, but I tried.
04. Name an actor who would make you less likely to watch a show:
I'm going to steal chrysalitron's answer of Jerry Seinfeld. HATE.
05. Name a show you can, and do, quote from:
I'm not really a quoter, but I've picked up some of the How I Met Your Mother-isms. And "shiny" has become part of my regular vocab, courtesy of Firefly.
06. Name a show you like that no one else enjoys:
There are lots of shows that no one in my 'real life' watches, but that's what the Internet is for! Maybe Cold Case? I feel like I don't know anyone who watches it.
07. Name a TV show which you've been known to sing the theme song:
Friends. I miss the days when most shows had themes you could sing.
08. Name a show you would recommend everyone to watch:
Friday Night Lights. It doesn't get nearly the viewership it deserves. I know a lot of people write it off because it's purportedly about high school football. But trust me when I say that it is so much more than that...and I don't even like football, particularly.
09. Name a TV series you own:
LOL. Again, only one? I think I have over 100 box sets encompassing all or parts of thirty-odd series, including Alias, Angel, Arrested Development, Bones, CSI, CSI: NY, entourage, Eureka, Everwood, The Facts of Life, Family Ties, Firefly, Fraggle Rocks, Friday Night Lights, Friends, Gilmore Girls, Grey's Anatomy, Heroes, House, How I Met Your Mother, Keen Eddie, Life Goes On, The Lone Gunmen, Lost, The Muppet Show, NCIS, Numb3rs, The Pretender, Psych, seaQuest, Stargate Atlantis, Stargate SG-1, Veronica Mars, Weeds, The X-Files, and The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.
10. Name an actor who launched his/her entertainment career in another medium, but has surprised you with his/her acting chops in television:
Um... Well, he's obviously better known for movies these days, but I never imagined that the guy who rapped that "Parents Just Don't Understand" would become, well, Will Smith.
11. What is your favorite episode of your favorite series?
I'm not even sure what my favorite series is. It was CSI for a while, and I loved the S1 episode "Blood Drops," when the only survivors of a massacre of a family are a girl and her younger 'sister,' played eerily well by Dakota Fanning. I also love the "Out of Gas" episode of Firefly. "Three Stories" from House. "Postmodern Prometheus" from The X-Files.
12. Name a show you keep meaning to watch, but you just haven't gotten around to yet:
Battlestar Galactica. Everyone says it's awesome, but it just looks so damn heavy.
13. Ever quit watching a show because it was so bad?
Desperate Housewives. Man, I loved it the first season. Now I can't stomach it at all. One Tree Hill, which was always bad, but I stuck with it for a while. The O.C., once it became clear that Marissa would always suck and they would never stop beating the Ryan/Marissa horse. Dawson's Creek, although I came back for the series finale and sobbed my eyes out.
14. Name a show that's made you cry multiple times:
Everwood was probably the most reliable show for making me bawl like an idiot.
15. What do you eat when you watch TV?
Everything? LOL Sometimes munchies, sometimes dinner. Or breakfast. Or lunch. Depends on the day.
16. How often do you watch TV?
WAY too much. Any evening I'm home, I have it on, even if I'm doing something else.
17. What's the last TV show you watched?
The Mentalist ended a little while ago.
18. What's your favorite/preferred genre of TV?
I watch a lot more dramas than comedies. And honestly, give me a procedural--particularly one with a sense of humor, a la Bones or NCIS--and I'm content.
19. What was the first TV show you were obsessed with?
Obsessed? Geez, I don't know. I don't remember watching many series as a kid. seaQuest inspired me to write fanfic before I knew there was such a thing, so I guess that.
20. What TV show do you wish you never watched?
Um...I can't really think of any. Even the ones that grew to infuriate me were responsible for me meeting some pretty great people.
21. What's the weirdest show you enjoyed?
I have no idea...I don't feel like I watch anything that's too far outside the norm.
22. What TV show scared you the most?
I tend to avoid creepy things, but a lot of episodes of The X-Files would probably rate.
23. What is the funniest TV show you have ever watched?
Funniest ever? That's so hard to say, because things are funny in such different ways. Currently, I think the funniest show I'm watching is The Big Bang Theory (yes, even funnier than HIMYM).
