bearshortyThis TV Meme has been floating around my flist, and I am bored enough at work today to do some of it. People are supposed to ask these questions and I can write in comments but I have never been good at those sorts of things. So I will just answer these questions as they are, probably in several installments.
1. if you could reboot one TV show, which one would it be?2. if you could have saved one TV show from cancellation, which one would it be?
Firefly really needed more time to develop.
3. have you ever quit a show before it finished? why?
Yes. I don't like to but sometimes the show should have been done long before it's finished. I quit "House" in its final season. I just didn't want to watch anymore. I quit "Bones" when the two main characters finally got together off screen after years of will they/won't they - I was already tired of it but that move just felt so insulting. i'm sure there were some others. Lately I've been giving a show three or four episodes to catch my interest and then if I'm not into it, I just quit. My time for media is limited. I'm going to use it wisely.
4. what's your comfort show?
Friends, Buffy; various Star Trek shows.
5. which shows do you think are underrated and need more love?6. have you ever been inspired to start a new show based on gifs or memes it has produced?
Not really but fandom conversation and other people's love does influence me to try out a show. Like "Supernatural" - many of my friends liked it and I knew of fanfic of various kind and I just decided to watch it when it was airing Season 9 (I watched 1-8 on Netflix, while at the same time watching Season 9 in real time).
7. do you prefer week-to-week content, or just binging all in one go?
Not binging in one go but all episodes available and I can watch at my own pace. I have been doing that with "Agents of Shield" - waiting until the season is on Netflix and then watching the whole thing. I can appreciate seasonal storylines that way and it is just more convenient.
8. what’s one show you thought you’d hate but turned out to really enjoy?
Not hate, I don't think I would ever watch something I thought I would hate. But I didn't think I would like "Supernatural" because I'm not a fan of horror. I didn't think I would like "Burn notice" much because I'm not much into spies but I made a deal with my Dad that I would watch it with him while he would watch "Buffy".
9. what’s one show you thought you’d love but turned out to really hate?
Well, recently, I thought I would really like "Working Moms" on Netflix but I stopped after 4 episodes because I hated the characters. And storylines were not appealing.
10. which TV show has the best musical soundtrack, in your opinion?
Buffy - I love the musical episode and I have several CDs of songs from Buffy that my friend in grad school burned for me.
11. have you ever watched a show just for a specific actor? did you enjoy it?
Yes! I first saw Peter Wingfield in "Riverworld" mini-series on SyFy and I loved him. He was very good looking too. I looked up what else he has been in and "Highlander" was on Netflix. So I watched the whole series one summer. He only appears in the 3rd season but then he plays my favorite character. I love "Highlander." It's a really great show with awesome fanfic.
12. what genre of TV show is your favourite?
Sci-fi.
13. do you tend to stick to one type of TV show (eg, short-form comedy), or are you into many different genres?
I watch both comedies and one hour shows. Different genres. I loved Star Trek series, Friends, Glee, Brother and Sisters, fantasy shows, Superhero shows, True Blood, ER, Bones, House etc. I don't like horror or soaps that much but my genre varies.
14. have you ever written fanfiction for a TV show?
Yes. I have written a Torchwood and Highlander fanfic.
15. have you ever drawn fanart for a show?
No
