Day 01 - A show that should have never been cancelled
"Lilies", or at least it wasn't recommissioned for another series, when there were plenty of story lines not tied up.
It was absolutely beautiful, and depicted an utterly overlooked period and place in history; the interwar period in Northern England. Unfortunately, the scheduling was appalling, completely missing its target audience.
I have the series on DVD, and the episode "The Sea" makes me cry every time. Billy and Nazzer's story was so haunting. Both men suffering from the first war, one physically, the other psychologically, and nothing is sugar-coated. There is drama and comedy and all the little things in life that make it feel personal and yours.
Day 02 - A show that you wish more people were watching
To be fair, it isn't airing in the UK, so there is no reason for anyone here to be into it...but I actually love this series so hard. I am seriously in love with Kate and Marshall.
Day 03 - Your favorite new show (aired this TV season)
DUH for this one. I just adore this show. The songs, the creativity. It isn't perfect, far from it, but there is amazing music and squee-worthy storylines. And so much fan fic. And Chris Colfer...just...God this boy is so talented. Every time Kurt cries, my heart breaks a little.
Day 04 - Your favorite show ever
Looking at this picture I think my tween self was picking up on some then-latent dyke-iness XD
Day 05 - A show you hate
Day 06 - Favorite episode of your favorite TV show
"All Hell Breaks Lose"
And it really did... plus also my fav, in a terrible way, because Prue died to make way fr the awesome that is Rose McGowan as Page.
Day 08 - A show everyone should watch
Funny and sexy with three of my fav actresses in the lead roles. WIN.
Day 09 - Best scene ever
These two hot little lovelies getting married/THEIR KITCHENSEX SCENE/anything with them and Hunter.
Day 10 - A show you thought you wouldn’t like but ended up loving
Didn't like the pilot as much, and the way it was marketed didn't really pull me in, but this show is sheer brilliance.
Day 11 - A show that disappointed you
I got quite into it, but its just too much work for a show that isn't on TV I can get over here. Plus I heard about the ending, and am confused at the fact the PTB on the show said at the beginning it was all explainable by science, and was all logically possible....or not.
Day 12 - An episode you’ve watched more than 5 times
What can I say? "Fragments" was just heartbreaking in every way. And even more so in hindsight.
Day 13 - Favorite childhood show
Arthur rocks! Even though he doesn't look anything like an aardvark.
Day 14 - Favorite male character
George...He is just so hilariously adorable.
Day 15 - Favorite female character
It's sort of sad there aren't any characters that spring to mind. My poor gender :( Suggestions?
Day 16 - Your guilty pleasure show
Gossip Girl... it's just very very awesome and the cast are freakishly beautiful.
Day 17 - Favorite mini series
Jekyll...it was so inspired and Nesbitt was absolutely astounding in it.
Day 18 - Favorite title sequence
There are three I like for different reasons...
1. Britannia High...upbeat son lots of dancing, makes me happy
2. Fringe...the music is really pretty but I always find myself looking for clues in the graphics too! XD
3. Carnivale...they are simply stunning, honestly, even if you never watch the show, watch the title sequence.
Day 19 - Best TV show cast
They all seem supernice, and are all insanely beautiful....GLEE!
Day 20 - Favorite kiss
Day 21 - Favorite ship
I have so many...but at the moment...
Day 22 - Favorite series finale
Day 23 - Most annoying character
The two I have picked are both similar in that they are meant to be the female leads, but end up annoying me most of the time... Although Eve Myles is a BABE and is superadorableawesome in real life :)
Day 24 - Best quote
There cannot be just one...there just can't...the shows I watch are so so damn quotable, especially for laughs, but I love, in a wrong wrong way, the line from Being Human (usually a pretty funny show) about death. Two of the three leads have seen what death is (they are a vampire and a ghost) but they agree to never tell the third (a werewolf) because it is just a long long corridor, and at the end are "men with sticks and rope".
Day 25 - A show you plan on watching (old or new)
Day 26 - OMG WTF? Season finale
Skins Season Four...just...what?
Day 27 - Best pilot episode
I do like watching pilot episodes after I've seen the show, or, like, flashback episodes of "how they were before", because it is very refreshing. I can't remember any standout episodes though... although I must have liked them, since I carried on watching!
Day 28 - First TV show obsession
Charmed (again)
Day 29 - Current TV show obsession
Glee (also again)
Day 30 - Saddest character death
It was just harrowing, especially in the intense context of the miniseries... and the fact literally no one knew it was going to happen. I think most of us are still in denial...
