My possibly-even-comprehensive TV to-watch list
In the name of having a list to show 
wildpear if we decide to try a show neither of us has seen, I've finally made an actual to-watch list of TV shows. It doesn't include anime or j-dramas. It includes quite a lot of things that I remember or know very little about--someone (and I often have no recollection of who) recommended each of these to me...sometime. A handful of these shows I've already seen a episode or two of, but not enough to bump them off this list to "watching" or "meh, no thanks".
A few are things that I've included because I simply know enough people who're into them that I figure I should at least check them out so I know what you're all talking about can read fanfic. *g* And hey, feel free to suggest things I'm missing! A few more titles can't actually hurt at this point.
Starred titles are on the highly-flexible, subject-to-change priority list.
And alarmingly, this probably isn't comprehensive. But it's a very good start.
