Eric posted this sequel to the Desert Island Meme (sequel to meme - memequel, he's clever that Eric), using TV Series Box Sets instead of movies. And, as I'm currently procrastinating for a few moments on getting to work writing a paper, here are my picks.
Oh -- Rules are that we have to stick with the genres...*sigh*
- Western - Firefly (hey, it's a Space Western)
- Horror - Dr. Who (Yes, yes, not technically horror, but they almost always get too creepy at certain points for me to actually stay in the room, so for me? They're horror. I still, however, love the show.)
- Sci-Fi - Farscape (What a great show.)
- Musical - Top of the Pops (It's on BBC America and it's as close as I can get to something that I would be remotely interested in having with me.)
- Comedy - Fawlty Towers (I agree with Eric's assessment of this as consistently hysterical.)
- Police/Crime/Courtroom Drama - Law & Order: Criminal Intent (Of the ones I watch and love, this is, I think, the most consistently re-watchable.)
- Medical Drama - M.A.S.H. (I don't care for ER, never have. Haven't ever seen Gray's Anatomy, and am so fed up with House this season I'm leaving it off out of spite. Plus M.A.S.H. is imminently re-watchable. Close second would be China Beach.)
- Foreign - Are You Being Served? (Yet another BritCom that is consistently hysterical...Mr. Humphries, are you free?)
- Variety - Hee-Haw (Sad, but this is the only variety show I can think of. And I think that may be grounds for retrospective charges of child abuse to be leveled at my parents.)
- Mini-Series - Pride & Prejudice (the A&E one with Colin Firth)
- Bonus Pick (any genre) - StarGate SG-1 (again, imminently rewatchable.)
Now you!
Well, yes. There's the kittycat issue. But, well, I still snicker. Maybe I'm juvenile, I dunno.
ReplyDeleteIn the same way that I would say to Mike, "I thought you didn't like cheese" I would say to you "I thought you didn't like Stargate SG-1"!
ReplyDeleteYou're...leaving...House? *gasp* It's the only show on TV that I never miss. But that may be because I am infatuated with Hugh Laurie.
ReplyDeleteYou redeemed yourself further down the meme, however, by mentioning Colin Firth. ;P
exterminate exterminate - Sorry, it's those daleks taking hold of the computer hehe. I've waited to comment until this would be true when I say...I'll post mine tomorrow :).
ReplyDeleteLynellen, like Mike, I don't hate it, but I don't necessarily want a lot of it.
ReplyDeleteSusie - this whole Tritter thing is just irritating me. I still adore Hugh, but...well...the plot is killing me. If they get back to how they used to be, then I'll be back as well.
Rack, Cool! I'll have to go see.
You had me at "Firefly." Good list!
ReplyDeletewow, good list...very "cultured." :-)
