A little help, O Wise and Knowledgeable Flist...

[gnine]

So here I am in jolly old England, settling in, classes just starting up (something I do plan to write about soon, I swear...) and in between the socializing, studying and exploring, I find myself watching quite a bit of TV. This is happening in part because I always watch more when I live alone (something to do when relaxing before bed or while eating dinner, etc) and partly because while I'm studying, I often use TV as a reward for getting work done (write another page on this essay, and you can watch another episode, etc). Good motivation for a horrible procrastinator like myself ^_-.

Anyways, my request: I'm looking for series to watch. (Just got through all of Criminal Minds, need something new...) It can be new or old (and by old, I mean whenever. Keep in mind one of my most recent fandoms was Man from UNCLE, and if that's not old skool, don't know what is...^_-) Any genre, whatever. If it's one of your favorites or just something you think'd be fun to watch. Just gimme a brief description, maybe why I might like it...(bonus points for anything with hurt/comfort, teaminess or siblings being cute)

Thanks flist, I'm counting on you! ^_^

ETA: As a reference to those who are reccing things, a list of what I have seen:



...I almost hesitate in posting this due to the sheer size...oops. And these are just the western fandoms, the list would be twice as long, at least, if I included anime/J-dramas...:-p

All of these are shows I've seen at least one full season of (some I haven't seen past that, like Heroes, due to lack of interest, but I've seen enough to get the feel of it)

Bold is for shows that I fanned on, by watching repeatedly/reading fic/reccing it, etc.

* means fandoms I've actually produced stuff for, be it art, fic, vids, whatnot...

30 Rock, Alien Nation, Arrested Development, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Babylon 5, Batman Beyond, Battlestar Galactica, Being Human, Big Bang Theory, Burn Notice, Carnivale, Castle, Colditz, Criminal Minds, Dinosaurs, Doctor Who, Due South, Eureka, Farscape, Firefly, Forever Knight, Gargoyles, Gilmore Girls, Heroes, Highlander*, Hustle, Invisible Man,Jeeves and Wooster, Justice League Unlimited, Legend (1995), Leverage, Life, Life on Mars, Lois and Clark, Lost, Malcom in the Middle, Man from UNCLE*, Merlin, NCIS*, NCIS: LA, Night Court, Numb3rs, Once a Thief, Prison Break, Professionals, Psych, Pushing Daisies, Quantum Leap, Queer as Folk (UK only), Real Ghostbusters*, Red Dwarf , Sapphire and Steel, Scrubs, Seaquest, Sentinel*, Seven Days, Sliders, Smallville*, Star Trek (all except for Enterprise), Stargate Atlantis*, Stargate SG-1*, Starsky and Hutch, Static Shock, Supernatural, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles , The Shield, Torchwood, Traders, True Blood, Twin Peaks, United States of Tara, Wiseguy, WitchBlade, Xena, X-Files*, X-men (Animated Series and Evolution)

...And chances are I've missed something...:-p

Hello dearie. We will bring some dvd goodies next time we meet up. :)

There is also the bbc iplayer for all british cousins if you havent found that yet.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/

All the bbc programming from the past week is there so if you miss something you can watch it without bittorrents. You can also download any programme and keep it for a month. Its very handy when Doctor Who is on because you can watch it legally as many times as you want. You can also get all the bbc radio stations there too. [Radio 1= under 30s pop Radio 2= Mainstream pop Radio 3= classical music Radio 4= one of the remaining pillars of civilised society Radio 5= live news and sport Radio 6= Indie/jazz/punk Radio 7= bbc spoken word archive [many science fiction plays] and the World Service.

You could always try Only Fools and Horses which is about two brothers in 1980s London.

Whee, that sounds fun!

Hmm, will have to check out the iplayer, thanks for the link.

Hmmm, show about brothers, that's always a plus, how long is that one?

Thanks for the link! I was thinking next weekend for possible get together, btw? How does that work for you?
