TV Show Master List

[sherrilina]

francy_m79  mentioned doing this today on BF, and decided it might be something fun to think about and quickly post here...

In this list I'm going to leave out some old children's shows I think, or it'd be too hard, though I do want to send some shout-outs to "Arthur" (which pwns Merlin any day in terms of character development and continuity!), "Sabrina," "

I miss Veronica Mars :( It ended way before it's time *sigh*

I don't know if you're talking about the Sherlock that aired on BBC or not, but if so, I'm going to start that one this weekend LoL

[sherrilina]

IDK, I disliked season 3 and hated the plans for season 4 so much that I wanted it to be put out of its misery before it could get any worse....:( I do miss the show's first two seasons though...Wallace! <3 Leo! <3 Logan! <3 Backup! <3, etc...

And lol, of course that's the one I mean! ;). Hee, I guess I'm not surprised you BBC h00r! :p (God I am so much one myself these days! I know I'll eventually succumb to Sherlock too like the rest of them). When you're done with SH, I'd recommend Life on Mars if you haven't seen it (the BBC one of course), I've only watched 5/16 epps, but quite good so far, and it has JOHN SIMM! :D

I'm most definitely a BBC whore LOL First it was Being Human, which is what started my love for it and made me want more BBC. Then I watched Doctor Who and you know how that one turned out LoL BBC America just started airing this series called "Luther" and I watched it the other night, it was pretty good. Oh and of course David's "Single Father" BBC mini-series <3 I'm sure I'll love Sherlock, too. A ton of my friends love it already, I feel out of the loop LoL

Love your Ten/Rose icon, btw :)

[sherrilina]

Lol, with me it was Merlin as my "gateway drug" so to speak...but yeah, they're so addicting, you can't just watch one, you end up watching another one, and then another one

Dude. Arthur. I KNOW THE ENTIRE THEME SONG TO THIS SHOW! I am FAAAAAAR too old to have ever had a good excuse to watch that show, but OMG I LOVE IT SO MUCH! ♥

Also, Fringe is the best written show in, like, the history of ever. Seriously. Gah! I can't even... Okay, so basically everything you and I hate about Merlin? It's the OPPOSITE on Fringe.

The best bloody character/relationship development I have possibly ever seen in my life. Every interaction is woven into the story each week, so you're never hit over the head with: "OMG PAY ATTENTION TO THESE TWO PEOPLE, WE'RE GOING TO DEVELOP THEIR RELATIONSHIP NOW IN A REALLY OBVIOUS WAY." It's subtle and all-encompassing and just happens so believably that you barely even know what's going on until it's already happened. The storylines are incredible and I don't even get bogged down by shipping at ALL, because the actual story arc/mythology is so damn amazing. The characters are endearing and complex and silly and perfectly flawed but lovely all the same. In the 2 and a bit seasons thus

"Listen to the rhythm, listen to the beat..." ;) Lol, EXACTLY, same here, but it's such a great show and so funny even for adults...there are a LOT of jokes aimed beyond the targeted age group, and actually according to the internets it is something of a cult show, and Neil Gaiman supposedly did an episode! (Though I haven't watched any of the recent seasons). But yay for another fan! :D

And lol, okay then, thanks for the rec! :) I have heard from other friends how amazing Fringe is, and I do plan to watch it someday for sure, but good to hear all this too!

[francy_m79]

You stole my post-idea!!!! :p Haha

You watch way too little tv (good for you!). Wait for me to post my list! LOL

[sherrilina]

Lol, yes, I'm such a dirty thief! :p I edited it just now though to credit you...;)

And indeed, compared to you lot it isn't that much TV, but I'd say by normal standards it is!

[i_rise_inside]

I want to watch Sherlock and LoTS too. And Fringe. And Merlin.

I'll recommend White Collar very strongly, amazing show. Ive started watching Lie to me recently, and its pretty darn good.

Also, you dont watch Glee?

[sherrilina]

Lol, well then we have similar "To Watch" lists, lol, aside from Merlin (which I'm seriously considering dropping from my "currently watching" list since these days it makes me want to shoot myself in the face or pull out my hair....*sigh* I'd beware that show, or only watch the first season....).

And nope, still don't watch Glee, I've seen part of one episode on the airplane over here ("Hairiography" I believe, the Finn/Puck babysitting epp), lol. I might watch someday, but yeah, too much going on right now.

And thanks for the recommendations, I do hear good things about WC...

[i_rise_inside]

Very similar lol! Yeah ive seen you ranting over Merlin. I'll try watch the first season then, i hope i dont get sucked into wanting to continue though lol.

Yeah, that was a funny episode. Glee got bad around or after that episode, the first half of S1 is brilliant! S2 has been better I hear.

Its amazing. Plus... hello, Bomer! <3

[sherrilina]

Heh, well you might be better off than me anyway, depending on what your preferences are (since I'm guessing you'll be rather Arthur/Merlin fixated, lol), though even with those two there has been some serious writing fail...so if you continue, you might want to just make up your own canon as you go along! :p

Yeah, I admit, I'm not really seeing the attraction of Bomer yet...:s Or at least, I didn't think he was anything special on Tru Calling...but maybe on WC I'd get it, with that particular character!

[amaranthine3]

Great list!! And wow, you watch some many shows atm :D. I remember times when I watched so many, but now I don't have that much time anymore *sigh*
And actually when you wrote about "Clarissa Explains It All" I goggled it because it sounded familiar and then I finally remember what from did I knew Melissa Joan Hart before I watched Sabrina! :D

And at the beginning I thought it would be great to do this meme but then I realised that some time ago I did this list and if I had to stay true to it and list all shows I've seen it would be way too long, lol xDD.

[sherrilina]

Lol, with me I watched stuff like Seinfeld and Sabrina, etc, but after a certain point I just didn't have time to watch TV, I was too busy....but then I started watching BTVS on DVD, and then Angel, and I started to watch "Alias," and then thought, "Oh wait, I should try watching a show that's still airing!" And so I began Bones, and VM...and the rest is history! :p This one forum I frequent/hang out on, Buffyforums, is a very bad influence on me when it comes to watching new shows! :p

And lol yes, so you watched "Clarissa Explains it All" too? :D And wow, looking at that list you have watched a lot! Did you ever try Vampire Diaries and Gossip Girl?

[amaranthine3]

It happened to me in the last years - when I was in my early teens I've had a lot of time to watch TV (and honestly there seemes to be more TV shows airing then in our public TV) and now I don't watch as much as I'd like to.

I did, I just realised that when I saw you writing about it and saw some photos :D. I plan to watch Vampire Diaries one day because I've read the books, which wasn't that bad and everyone keeps telling that the show is a lot better ^^ I've never watched GG but maybe one day I'll manage to do that too - it's also on my list :).
