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.
Doctor Who.

Date: 2010-05-15 20:59 (UTC)I really don't have any other show where I care about behind the scenes or about people involved other than the actors. Doctor Who is so unique in that sense.
I've never seen Modern Family! I don't think it's on tv over here...
