TV Meme: Day 1  
I'm seeing this television meme ALL OVER my f-list. I've been resisting since I have the whole, "how can I only choose one?!?" thing going on. I don't tend to be an -est kind of girl so much as shades of gray kind of girl. But I want to play along, too!

Day 01 - A show that should never have been canceled:


Firefly. Is there any other answer?? In fact, does anyone need it explained? It's Joss Whedon. It's a great ensemble cast. Fox are idiots.

Day 02 - A show that you wish more people were watching:
Day 03 - Your favorite new show (aired this TV season):
Day 04 - Your favorite show ever:
Day 05 - A show you hate:
Day 06 - Favorite episode of your favorite TV show:
Day 07 - Least favorite episode of your favorite TV show:
Day 08 - A show everyone should watch:
Day 09 - Best scene ever:
Day 10 - A show you thought you wouldn't like but ended up loving:
Day 11 - A show that disappointed you:
Day 12 - An episode you've watched more than 5 times:
Day 13 - Favorite childhood show:
Day 14 - Favorite male character:
Day 15 - Favorite female character:
Day 16 - Your guilty pleasure show:

I can't imagine life without a TV. Without my shows, I would go nuts. I like movies, but I LOVE TV. Before I moved to Florida about a year and a half ago, I hadn't been to a movie in close to a dozen years, but I always had TV. And I love DVD sets, you can play catch up, and pick and choose what eps you want to watch. Trying to watch SG1 on the Syfy Channel was giving me whiplash. They were bouncing back and forth between 3 or 4 seasons at a time, and I never knew what was happening.

I used to be more literate; I read a lot in those days. I've adapted to life with a TV a little too well now. I haven't been to many movies. They tend to be too cold, so loud as to hurt my ears, but not so loud that I can't hear the inevitable discussion behind me. I find I prefer the longer format story of a series to most movies. I get to know the characters better. I'm totally hooked on DVD sets. I, uh, own a lot of them.

I'm definitely the literate sort. I read a lot, usually more than one book at a time, too. Right now it's The Tudors by GJ Meyers and Helen of Troy by Bettany Phillips. I tend towards non fiction these days.

I own a TON of DVD sets. Besides books, they're always at the top of my wish list for birthays and Chanukahs, and when I just have some extra cash. I could live in Barnes and Noble.

Normally I only read more than one book at a time if I'm reading non-fiction or if I'm not all that excited by the "main" book I'm reading. Otherwise, I'm kind of obsessive and more likely to skip sleep so that I can read.

Same here. My family has stopped buying me the DVDs, which makes me sad, but they say it's boring. I want to come back and haunt Elliot Bay Book Company in Seattle after I die. That's my idea of Heaven.

One thing I love about my move to Florida is that the libraries down here are amazing. In New York, the library budget was so miniscule that they never got in anything new, and their overall stock was small. Down here, the libraries are gorgeous, architecturally speaking, and full of tons of books, new or otherwise.

I don't know why I read more than 1 book at once. I don't do it, though, if my main book is just so good that I can't put it down. In that case I just keep on reading, even if it's 3 in the morning.

What are some of your favorite books? In fiction I loved The Secret History by Donna Tartt, The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova and Madeleine's ghost, by Robert Giradi. In nonfiction, I tend to favor history, especially British history. I'll read anything by Alison Weir or Antonia Fraser.
