dangermousieI thought it would be fun to do a meme on '10 shows your flist loves but you do not.' They could be shows you've seen or haven't and have no desire to check out.
Note: This is obviously not to denigrate the taste of anyone who loves these.
My list:
1. Stargate SG-1: I tried, I really tried. Half my flist loves this show. And I tried extra hard when Ben Browder and Claudia Black came onto the show. Because, BB and CB, you know? I found my mind wandering like crazy, regardless. The only way I would have snapped out of my coma would be in the unlikely event they got the puppets to guest star.
2. Stargate Atlantis: Guy with dreads is hot. I'd have other opinions, but despite trying, my brain fell asleep.
3. Prison Break: I hear 'Prison Break: it's sharp, it's clever, it's innovative.' But I see 'Prison Break: it's a show about dudes in prison.' I have no desire to interact with nasty, brutal criminals in real life, so why would I want to do that on TV? The only channel dudes with tattoos are cool on is Discovery. And they better be tribal tattoos.
4. Moonlight: There is definitely room for a show about a vampire detective. And it is known as 'Angel.' Or if you are Canadian, 'Vampire Knight.'
5. Hercules: Hercules wears pants. I cannot get over that enough to ever watch this without migraines.
6. Friday Night Lights: Everyone and their mother loves it. I am sure it's excellent. But I can't get past 'high school football' thing. I was never interested in high school football in high school! Why start now?
7. I love Lucy: I feel my brain lose some brain cells whenever I even try watching this. There is only so far nostalgia will take you.
8. Dawson's Creek: I praise Tom Cruise for marrying Katie Holmes and taking her out of the public eye. Now please, can he also marry James Van Der Beek? And the rest of DC cast,creators and crew? Hopefully through medium of a time machine, before they foisted this self-absorbed borefest on us?
9. The O.C.: I want the entire O.C. to go up in the flames of bloody communist revolution as the people from the poor areas run down the street with knives, ready to pillage the over-privileged, over-collagened twits. Plus, Ryan looks much too much like Russell Crowe and my brain breaks trying to imagine Crowe in this drivel.
10. Felicity. Forget the fact that stalking is bad. It is also incredibly boring. You know why Felicity's haircut caused such a stir? Because it was the most interesting thing about this show.
Your turn...
I need to do same list for dramas. And I left reality TV out on purpose.

Date: 2007-10-12 09:36 am (UTC)I don't know - the older I get the more nitpicking and annoyed I get with extensive displays of sex on TV. I really do not like to see a half-naked tonsil-treatment for a couple of minutes when one short shot of showing the ppl in bed or clothes strewn around the bed seems sufficient to know Okay, they've done the deed, get on with the plot!
