I'll reply to all the comments people have left over the past ten or so days and hopefully have time to scroll through the flist from when I was gone later today. In the meantime, have a meme ganked from failte_aoife:
Go to Better Than It Sounds at TV Tropes and find some shows/books/whatever that you like. List 20, let people guess.

I've got a mix of books, ( Read more... )

Ah...some of those where things I also considered for my meme so I know what they are :P Saying them would now be cheating (10,17 & 19) but 20 sounds a lot like Queen.

I'm not surprised we considered some of the same ones. There were plenty on yours I liked and could have gotten but I didn't see it until after people had already done them all.

Right you are with Queen.

I feel like I should know more...is 18 The Tenth Kingdom? (I haven't actually watched it just heard a lot about it)

Not Tenth Kingdom, though it is a somewhat similar idea. I've edited to add if things are books, TV shows, or what, which might help a bit.

Oh, FUN! I could guess on most of them, but ones I am sure of are:

1- Rocky Horror Picture show

3 Indiana Jones (first movie)

16 Shawn of the Dead

19 Doctor Who

A wild guess on nr. 14: The Muppets?

Yep!

Yay! And nr. 2 makes me think about M.A.S.H., but I'm not totally sure.

#2 is not M.A.S.H.

5 Catch 22
8 Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency or possibly the sequel
10 could be Donnie Darko?
11 Jeeves and Wooster

Yes to Catch-22, Dirk Gently, and Jeeves and Wooster. Nope on Donnie Darko, though I could see that.

It's a very long time since I've seen it! I must watch it again at some point.

Ah, context. Can try another couple;
6 is the Monkees
Is 13 MASH?

7 is nagging at me!

Reply

bratty_jedi June 14 2013, 20:10:00 UTC
Yep on both The Monkees and M.A.S.H.

7 is a fantasy series by a well-known author who is not generally known for fantasy, if that helps more.
