Got a few minutes, so it's time for a meme!
Grabbed from ctofine
01. Name a TV show series in which you have seen every episode at least twice:
At least twice? Sports Night, definitely. Babylon 5. Firefly.
Not-quite-but-almost there: Buffy (I'm in season 5 of my first rewatch), Angel (I'm in season 2 of my first full rewatch), Wonderfalls, and Gilmore Girls (I'm three episodes from the end of season 6; I don't think I've watched all the episodes of season 7 twice... yet, but I've seen many of the episodes multiple times).
02. Name a show you can't miss:
There are so many! Except, if I miss them, I catch up. Quickly. 'Cause I'm crazy like that.
03. Name an actor who would make you more inclined to watch a show:
Generally, if I've liked 'em in something else, I'll check out their new stuff.
04. Name an actor who would make you less likely to watch a show:
You know, there's probably someone, but I can't really think of who that someone is.
05. Name a show you can and do quote from:
Sports Night, The West Wing, Gilmore Girls (I've got a Rock Band character named from a quote from Gilmore Girls), Mystery Science Theater 3000. I think once I know the shows better, I'll be quoting from the Whedonverse more often and consciously.
06. Name a show you like that no one else enjoys:
I haven't been able to get anyone to watch Eli Stone with me, and that's sad, 'cause I like that show.
07. Name a TV show which you've been known to sing the theme song:
There are many, actually, but the funniest one for me to sing along with is The West Wing. (And I sometimes conduct it, too.)
08. Name a show you would recommend everyone to watch:
Just one? Man, that's tough. I'd probably have to go with Sports Night. It's relatively short, so it can be, like, a gateway show into everything else that is awesome.
09. Name a TV series you own on DVD:
Of the shows I've mentioned thus far, the only ones I don't own the complete DVD runs for are Wonderfalls and The West Wing. So, one series that I've yet to mention that I own on DVD is... Joan of Arcadia.
10. Name an actor who launched his/her entertainment career in another medium but who has surprised you with his/her acting chops in television:
I can't really think of anyone specific, but I know that I'm really impressed with Lauren Graham's performances in Gilmore Girls (she completely and utterly carries that show, and, considering the talented folks she worked with, that's saying something) and Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy (it's been ages, and I can't really remember her performances on it, but I remember when Buffy started, I was dismissive of it in part because it had annoying Kendall from All My Children in it, and I remember just hating her on the show, thinking she was horrible; as Buffy, SMG is pretty darn amazing).
11. What is your favorite episode of your favorite series?
I'm not sure what my favorite show is, actually, and I don't think I have favorite episodes for some of my favorite shows, but the pilot of The West Wing is amazing, as is "Celestial Navigation" and "Noel," and pretty much the entire first season of Sports Night is sparkling dazzling gah! phenomenal.
12. Name a show you keep meaning to watch but you just haven’t gotten around to yet:
The Middleman
13. Ever quit watching a show because it was so bad?
Heroes, but not because it was bad, necessarily. I missed the first half of the second season premiere, and then I was confused and never felt compelled enough to catch up.
14. Name a show that's made you cry multiple times:
Full on cry, multiple times (different moments, as opposed to the same moment again and again)? Probably none of 'em. But, I do water up and let a tear or two drop during Anya's bit in "The Body." Even after hearing Emma Caulfield's Anya-esque recollection of the moment. :D
15. What do you eat when you watch TV?
Dinner, snacks, anything.
16. How often do you watch TV?
Daily, if you count watching TV shows on DVD or the computer.
17. What's the last TV show you watched?
Full-attentionedly? Eli Stone, last night. But, I put it on The Daily Show and The Colbert Report afterwards; I just didn't fully pay attention.
18. What's your favorite/preferred genre of TV?
I don't know that I have one, but for someone who spent all of high school reading nothing outside of schoolwork that wasn't by LM Montgomery, I sure watch a lot of sci-fi.
19. What was the first TV show you were obsessed with?
Does Jem count if it was mostly the dolls? If not that, um... *thinks* there was a semi-obsession with Homicide: Life on the Street, but that was sort of/mostly because of my sister. As was Sports Night. The first one I came to on my own was probably... Ed. Not that I was super-obsessive; I just accidentally didn't properly record an episode and I ended up trading with someone online for it. And, after that, it was Gilmore Girls, trying to catch up with the first three seasons before the fourth season started. It took a long while until I saw all of season two, as I recall.
20. What TV show do you wish you never watched?
The Return of Jezebel James. I wanted to like you, really I did, but... wow, were you just awkward. And way unfunnier than you should have been. *shudder*
21. What is the weirdest show you enjoyed?
I think the concept of Mystery Science Theater 3000 is rather odd.
22. What TV show scared you the most?
I can't think of any at the moment. Beyond being startled, I don't know that a show has ever truly scared me.
23. What is the funniest TV show you have ever watched?
Probably 30 Rock or something.
24. Do you prefer TV to films?
Depends on my mood, but I've been watching way more TV than films lately.
25. Name 3 TV relationships that you love.
Lorelei and Luke from Gilmore Girls (as friends or as a couple - or both - they're great; I love them so very, very much, it's a little sad); Londo and G'Kar from Babylon 5 (they take such delight in messing with each other, first for their own political machinations, then for their own amusement and 'cause they could; it's marvelous); President Bartlett and the senior staff (I love everything about the way those people work with each other and the president and everyone and I love them all).
And, as a bonus, here's my weekly TV watching schedule:
Monday: Chuck, How I Met Your Mother
Tuesday: Fringe (which I prefer watching not live, if that makes sense), Eli Stone
Wednesday: Bones, Pushing Daisies
Thursday: The Office, 30 Rock
Friday: NUMB3RS
Saturday: Merlin (from the BBC)
Sunday: True Blood
Week nights, time permitting: Countdown with Keith Olbermann, The Rachel Maddow Show, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, The Colbert Report
Every night, time permitting: DVDs, lately a lot of TV on DVD, but I'll occasionally pop a real movie in there, too.
Wow, that took longer than I thought it would. Oh, well. Work's about over, whee!
