Television meme-y thing this way...

I’m having a Real Life thang at the moment that is adversely affecting my fannish time, but I can’t resist this meme. Which I am shamelessly stealing from cassiopeia7. Also, stealing some of her answers!

Television meme-y thing this way... )

Aw, man, I forgot to add Trek TOS (and Trek TNG) to my list of "rewatches." And Frasier!! Oops.

I see what you did there

Indeed. Sometimes it's best to tread carefully. ;)

Sean Bean! Sharpe!!! What's your favorite Sharpe? I think Eagle is my favorite but I like Sword too (mostly because of Jack and Father Curtis). Did you read the books? That's how I ended up here to start with. Have you seen Extremely Dangerous with Sean?

Love your icon! Sharpe's Sword is my favorite, and Eagle is probably my second favorite. ;D

I've seen most everything Sean Bean has done... you know, I started the Sharpes because I'd just seen Lord of the Rings and wanted to see Sean play a good guy. (I think the only thing I could remember having seen him in prior to that was Patriot Games.) Apparently, he'll be in a new TNT series this summer.

(I have read some of the books, and noticed that the author dedicated one to Sean, and tweaked his character description a bit to match Sean's portrayal. And I used to have an audio CD of one of the Sharpe books read by Sean. I think I loaned it to someone and not sure if I ever got it back...)

What a fun meme! But some of the questions are HARD and it makes me realise exactly how much TV I watch...yikes.

Firefly would be on my list of shows I haven't gotten around to watching yet, as well as Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead and Breaking Bad. But I'm still loving Arrow and Suits!

And I always sing along to Bing Bang Theory and Friends! Every time, without fail :)

You should do this meme! And you should watch Firefly! (It's just one short season, so it's easy to consume.)

Orphan Black is fantastic!! I loved it and can't wait for the new series. And yes yes yes when The Musketeers becomes available. SO wonderful.

And you own Man From Uncle! i've been wanting to get that (very fond memories of watching that one...).

I think I might do this one. I love me some TV...

Ahhh.... Man from UNCLE! My sister gave me the DVD collection as a gift, which makes it all the more meaningful. She knew me when.... ;D

Did I ever tell you I had a friend whose *husband* wrote MfU fanfic? And he was such a *guy* about it. I remember a story where Illya was missing, and Solo was all 'well, I need a new partner then, because I have this mission to complete...' Not a hint of angst! LOL!

Off to check and see if you've done the meme yet...

Haha!! Oh that's perfect. No angst! We can't have that!

I have started the meme (done it in fact) but my eyes are drooping so I'll post it tomorrow. It's great thinking about past shows.

Because it was last question and the show I most regret seeing canceled and the best TV series ever made - Firefly. There are shows that are great and amazing and every other positive adjective I could come up with, but I haven't seen an ensemble cast/show yet that equals the love I have for Firefly. Miss.

Sharpe - I think Sharpe's Gold was the only one we haven't seen more than three times....:)

The to be watched possibility shows? I think Almost Human is worth a look when watched in order. Shield is becoming more interesting and some of the characters are reaching a complexity that I expect from Joss Whedon. Musketeers - YES! The fun of this series is the best kind of chocolate.

Believe - an interesting premise, but kind of meh? It's heavy. The music is wrong too.

Combat! You could pick one?! Good choice. It was the kid thing, wasn't it?:)
