gnineSo 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...

Yeah next weekend sounds great. We'll have a look for things to do but if youve got any suggestions we can do that.
Only Fools and Horses are 25 minutes long (theyre good to watch whilst eating tea, the episode I gave you has Jim Broadbent in) It ran for 22 years, so if you like it there's certainly enough to keep you occupied :)
GeorgieSmith sent us a really fun tv series last week which we'll give you called Adam Adamant. It's about a Victorian gentlemen hero who gets crygenically frozen by his arch nemisis 'the face' and wakes up in swinging London in 1966. [its what Austin Powers was based on] The actor in it is sooooo like David Tennant its just very funny. He has a blonde companion like Rose too. Its from the same producers as Doctor Who.
Oh and there's always Raffles- the most slashy slash programme Ive ever seen. The couple in that make Solo and Illya seem positively hetrosexual.
