I know I rarely do these Friday Fives anymore, but this one is about TV so I can't resist.
What's your favourite TV network? Lifetime. No matter what time of day it is, if there's nothing else good on TV I can always count on Lifetime to be showing either a cheesy movie or a Golden Girls rerun.
If you could create your own channel, what would it be? It would show classic sitcoms like Full House, Perfect Strangers, The Cosby Show, Roseanne, Martin, Friends, Saved by the Bell, Golden Girls, old cartoons like Jem, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Duck Tales, other old kid shows like Ghostwriter, Fraggle Rock, and the Elephant Show. Oh, and all the good shows they used to show on Nickelodeon like Salute Your Shorts, Hey Dude, Double Dare, Clarissa Explains it All, Fifteen, Legends of the Hidden Temple, Guts, and Wild and Crazy Kids. And of course I'd order endless seasons of Veronica Mars to be shown in primetime.
What TV show did you watch as a child, that you wish they would bring back? Ghostwriter! (even though I think I was like 13-14 when that was on, so not really a child) But that was such a great show, well up until the end when it started to suck a bit.
What show have you always hated, and wonder why they ever made such a dumb show? Pretty much all the reality shows on the CW (except ANTM), like Farmer Wants a Wife, Beauty and the Geek, and Pussycat Dolls. It's a shame they cancel good quality shows but crap like that gets to stay on the air.
What TV show's seasons would you buy on DVD? I've bought all 3 seasons of VM, the third season of Golden Girls, both seasons of Chappelle's Show, and the first season of One Tree Hill. I'll probably get a couple of Saved by the Bell, Martin, Salute Your Shorts, Golden Girls, and maybe the first season of Gossip Girl.
American Idol thoughts...this season isn't really interesting to me. It's not that I don't still enjoy watching it, I just don't really care who wins anymore. I like David C. ALOT better than David A. (in fact, I really wanted Syesha to make it to the finals instead of David A.) but I don't really care which one of them wins. Speaking of David A, I was indifferent to him before but now I kind of hate him just for the fact that he sang that Chris Brown song. I LOVE that song and now he's kind of ruined it for me. I'll watch the performance show, and I'll try to make myself watch the finale. I hope Jordin performs so I'll at least have a reason to watch.
