muneca_bravaDay Four: Your favourite show ever
Doctor Who.
There are shows that I think are better made, or more consistently better (DW has really terrible episodes, okay) like Firefly or Life on Mars,... But I don't love those in the same way I love DW. It's the show that made me really involved in fandom (I read Veronica Mars fanfic before, but that was it), and the level of excitment a really brilliant episode gives me is unique. I started in the fandom focussed on shipping, but after a while that stopped. And now, it's still my most active fandom but not really focussed on my OTP anymore.
I love the actors, the writers and the producers. I listen to the dvd commentaries and the podcasts (I don't do that with any other show). I really just care about it a lot.
I first fell in love with it near the end of S4, and I remember thinking that by the time it came back (year and a half later) I'd probably forgotten all about it. But by that time, I turned out to love it more than ever.
Day Five: A show you hate
I don't watch shows I don't like so it never gets to the point of hate, I think. Cliché answer is reality tv, but I just ignore that.
Oh! You know what I really despise? Those American family sitcoms type According to Jim and Still Standing. I do like some American sitcoms like Friends and HIMYM, but I'm talking about the kind that is all about a perfect happy all-american family that gets in to embarrassing and often offensive shenanigans that are painfully unfunny and are just meant to show how amazing the American suburban life is. Bah.

Date: 2010-05-12 15:47 (UTC)I have only seen bits when flicking channels, but I remember thinking once that yeah, According to Jim really is offensive. I can't remember very well what it was about, but it had something to do with gender roles and just, ick, the whole thing left me with a bad feeling.

And sometimes she'll get mad at him, he buys her flowers and that's such a big gesture that everything is forgiven? IDK.
