Re: The Television Show Thread!
Man, you guys want to turn me into a TV junkie, bringing up all these names. I traditionally am not much of a TV-watcher. However, lately, I've found myself doing it more in my spare time (which might be a bad thing).
Back in the days, I did watch some of <i>The Simpsons</i>, and, due to my father, got stuck watching <i>South Park</i> here and there - more for the satire rather than the gross stuff. My father has a disgustingly funny sense of humor.
Recently, I watch <i>House</i>, but although some of the myseterious illnesses are quite fun to figure out, some of the rag-tag ideas, inconsistent characterization, and simply incorrect medical procedures makes me go *squick.* Especially when the doctors put on suits and go directly themselves to investigate contaminated, roped off areas. Uh...govt. duties anyone? NOT the normal physicians' job. @.@
Awhile back, I watched the series <i>Into the West</i>, which I loved even though I never got to see all of it. ;_; It makes me sad. It also gets me into a philosophizing mood. I get so sentimental watching it. "Why Mom, why? *sniffle* People are people - <i>why</i> do they act that way? People are people are people are people...."
I want to see all of <i>Lonesome Dove</i>... *sighs* If only I knew someone who could loan it to me. I liked what I saw of it. The characters were loveable.
Most of the time, though, I'm a big dork and wind up watching Discovery Health Channel. I adore <i>Mystery Diagnosis</i> and <i>Medical Incredible</i> the most.
no offence to drama serial lovers out there.
