a weekend spent with my tv

Aug 08, 2010 21:19

My weekend has consisted of:

- Four episodes of Scarecrow and Mrs. King with the roommate on Friday night. And only four episodes left until we're all done. Sadface.

- Saturday was working out, cleaning, chatting with my mom, then hanging out with enigmaticblues. We chatted for a bit, watched a few episodes of Babylon 5, fangirled Bruce Boxleitner (the man ( Read more... )

I followed you back! Le gasp! I still can't make myself watch Scarecrow and Mrs. King. I love Bruce Boxleitner but I don't know if I love him that much.

HA! I can't exactly blame you. Will you think less of me if I tell you I only watched Babylon 5 the first time because I had watched Scarecrow and Mrs. King first and I loved me some Bruce and wanted to watch every single thing that he was in?

I know it's a cheesetastic 80's show, but I adore it, so I rewatch it every few years. But when compared to the awesomeness of Babylon 5, well, there's no question which is better.

I don't mind cheese or 80s. I mind...Kate Jackson. I'm working myself up to it! He's just too cute to resist, seriously.

Ah yes, Kate Jackson. You know, I go through phases with her. Sometimes I really like her character, and think she was a pretty kick-ass woman on television in the early 80's. And then other times, her character drives me bonkers and I don't comprehend what Bruce Boxleitner's character would see in her at all. And a good portion of that has to do with Kate Jackson's acting.

But then there is Bruce, being pretty consistently great, and all else is forgiven. Plus, my roommate and I had a really good time making fun of their clothes. :)

Resistance is futile.

(I think I am making a Star Trek joke. Am I? Anyway - give in. Watch. Enjoy the eye candy and ignore the rest.)

I'm getting there! I have way too much TV to watch, LOL. I'm trying to finish at least a couple of the seven or eight shows I'm still sitting on before I start a new one.

(You should watch Star Trek.)

(No! You should watch Battlestar Galactica first.)

I sometimes watch TNG with the hubby. He is trying very, VERY hard to break me of my "What comes after Season 5 of Babylon 5? Season 2 of Babylon 5" vicious cycle. This weekend he gave a very compelling argument for why I should watch Firefly. So I think this will be next.

kungfuwaynewho August 30 2010, 01:21:15 UTC

FIREFLYYYYYY. Starring my husbands, Nathan Fillion and Adam Baldwin. And my girlfriend Summer Glau.

You have reminded me to start my tri-annual rewatch of Firefly. I haven't watched it since April!

Hi xphilehb having random convos in your LJ what's up.

xphilehb August 30 2010, 01:44:05 UTC

I'm going to have to second the Firefly vote here. And it's easy to watch, considering it's only, like, half a season. Thanks to no one but apparently me and a few others watching it until it was no longer on television.

kungfuwaynewho August 30 2010, 01:46:07 UTC

Excuse me, I think ten whole people watched Firefly. I mean, seriously.

(I actually didn't watch Firefly until the summer before Serenity came out, because when it was actually airing? I never even knew it existed. And I was a Joss fan and was actively watching shows on Fox! Which just goes to show how much their advertising department blows.)

xphilehb August 30 2010, 01:49:50 UTC

I never even knew it existed.

Really? This makes wonder how I knew it was airing. I really have no recollection, other than I'd been watching Buffy and Angel and thus figured I'd follow Joss anywhere. (Except that I never followed him to Dollhouse.) I think I still carry bitterness because every Friday night I watched John Doe and then Firefly on FOX, and Firefly was canceled after half a season and then John Doe after one season with this horrible cliffhanger that I still wonder about from time to time.

Anyway, you're right. I'm sorry. Me and those other nine people just couldn't make it last. :)

kungfuwaynewho August 30 2010, 01:56:39 UTC

The first I heard about Firefly was reading about it being canceled. Yeah... I seriously never saw a single commercial for it on TV. IDEK.

This is why I keep telling myself to stop watching shows on FOX, and I never listen. Terminator? Watched it; heart broken. Dollhouse? Watched it; heart broken. Don't even get me started on Arrested Development.

It was actually kind of exciting when ABC canceled Pushing Daisies. I was like, someone does this other than FOX?!

(You should watch Dollhouse. The first three or four episodes are a little shaky, but then it just gets amazing. I am still holding on to the last five episodes or so - I still have new Dollhouse to watch! It's not over yet!)

xphilehb August 30 2010, 02:28:47 UTC

I am pretty sure the reason I did not watch Dollhouse was because it was once again Joss on FOX, and I wanted to make sure it wouldn't be canceled before I became attached. And then it did get canceled, and I just never got around to it.

Oh, Arrested Development. Funniest thing ever on television. It's about time I rewatch that too.

And Pushing Daisies. Season 2 is still sitting on my TiVo unwatched. I really need to decide to watch it, or just delete it.
