TV Meme

Saw this TV meme on Wordnerd's not-a-blog and liked it.

I see two distinct viewing patterns. There are a slew of shows that I saw mostly in reruns, either after school as a kid, or in that 5-7pm timeslot as an adult until about 3-4 years ago when I quit watching during this time. There are a lot of really awful shows in this category that I am almost embarrassed to admit I ever watched. The other group of shows I've seen a lot of are series that caught my imagination during the last 5-10 years. I've seen every episode of some of these because I liked them enough to buy the DVD boxed sets (Buffy, Angel, Farscape, B-5, Firefly, Red Dwarf, Wonderfalls), or I am such a fan that I make it a point to watch or tape them every time they air (new Battlestar Galactica, Sopranos, Monk, Psyche, Deadwood, New Doctor Who, Six Feet Under, CSI, 24, House, The 4400). A few of the shows are older ones that are so good they have been rerun enough for me to have seen every episode (Twilight Zone, M*A*S*H, and Star Trek come to mind).

The original instructions were to bold TV shows you've seen more than three times and to bold and italicize shows you have seen every episode of. Well, my blog font doesn't show bold as very different than not bold, so I am substituting underline for bold. Instructions for those who wish to blog this: Underline all of the following TV shows which you've ever seen 3 or more episodes of in your lifetime. Underline and Italicize a show if you're positive you've seen every episode of it. If you want, you can add up to three more shows to the list (but please keep the list in alphabetical order). I thought of more than three I could have added, so I selected my favorite three to include. My contributions to the list are Red Dwarf, Keen Eddie, and Animal Precinct.

Shows that I watched a lot of and did not add to the list include Carnivale (HBO), Arliss (HBO), Jeremiah (Showtime), and Eureka (SciFi, which is new this summer).

Feel free to copy and paste the list to your own blog.
