Looong TV Meme
I needed to post something (apart from fic, I mean a post post) - BT accidentally scared me off the internet in the middle of the week and it's not been quite the same since. In the meantime, I rewatched more Enemy at the Door and am trying to decide if I'm being more obsessive about that generally or Alfred Burke in particular, but that doesn't make an interesting post. (I've made one about EatD though. You can have that later, you lucky people. Sorry. And, actually, I lie - Alfred Burke is/was pretty interesting.)
Anyway, I was ignoring this but everybody's doing it and so... baa! I picked this up from sallymn (our asterisks matched quite frequently, which was handy).
Bold all of the following TV shows of which you've seen 3 or more episodes.
- Italicize a show if you're positive you've seen every episode.
- Asterisk if you have at least one full season on tape or DVD
- If you want, add up to 3 additional shows (keep the list in alphabetical order).
(I sort of want something in between three and all. There's quite a big difference in attitude in there sometimes.)
Presumably it's a list put together by somebody from the US, but I can't complain, because the list doesn't seem to admit that anyone but the US and the UK make TV, so the rest of the world should be the ones side-eying it, not me. I'll just correct MI:5 to Spooks! (Damn you, list maker! Spooks/MI:5, or MI:5/Spooks at a push, or Spooks. Honestly.) Although lots of these, I have never heard of at all, because I'm British and didn't watch all the US TV growing up.

The alphabetisation is a bit off, isn't it? Presumably people have added some things that begin with 'the' in the correct fashion, but the main list has alphabetised things under 'the' (which it shouldn't, but either way, you should be consistent about it).
