Hello dead weekend livejournal! I have kind of invented a meme. Well, "invented" is probably a strong word, I'd be super surprised if something like this has never ever been done before. But it's a kind of um, experiment to see how much information we accidentally pick up from reading our friendslist, but that makes it sound lame, and I THINK IT WILL BE LULZY TOO.

ANYWAY: what I want you to do is name a show I don't watch (if you want me to list the things I do like I will, but I think most of you have a decent idea of what I'm into and if you don't it's pretty well outlined in my interests -- OH, except for Psych, that's... recent and I've now seen enough that it would be cheating) and I will try to describe it to you (looking things up is obviously cheating, it's a test to see what random things have been picked up).


I'm actually equally (almost more?) enthused about the idea of feeding people shows though, so if you're bored too you should totally play on your own.

OH GEEZ, these are hard. I know almost nothing about Coupling UK, except that it is one of those shows about a set of adult friends and their relationships, but I also think it's... edgy isn't the right word, but I think the tone is very different than, say, "Friends". I also think I would enjoy it a lot if I got around to watching it.

In Queer as Folk, Brian and Justin are really pretty (um, according to me, not what I've heard) and also in love. Brian is kind of a ~bad boy~ type. There's some interesting exploration of homophobia. Which I guess is par the course for a well-written show about gay men. I also think of this show as something you in particular hold very close to your heart, but... I guess that isn't really part of a summary.

I haven't heard anything about Billable Hours at all. But Merlin! Um, it's one of those Brit shows about the past (I say "one of those", but I think the only other current one is "Robin Hood"). It is pretty obviously based on Arthurian legend, and pretty much everyone loves Arthur/Merlin. The Guinevere character is some kind of servant in the castle, though, which has caused some kerfuffle in the fandom. Aaaaand there's Morgana.

You should!!!

think you would! it's hilarious, i love it so much. i wish i had the complete series boxsets!

THEY ARE. THEY ARE THE PRETTIEST/MY FAVOURTIEST SHIP! it is definitely a show you hold close to your heart, everyone i know loves it to pieces. it made me teary-eyed out of HAPPINESS. which i thought was not possible.

billable hours is a canadian show about lawyers. it's also hilarious, kind of like the office but not really. it's kind of edgy, i guess (but again, not really), it's just brilliant. although i've only watched the first season so i don't know if it loses it streak or not. anyway, it's on showcase which is the canadian version of showtime just not as ~racy. i only know about it because a guy from queer as folk made it! omg you used the word keruffle, i love you. i have a weird fascination with that word and get so excited whenever people use it! i haven't heard any kerfuffle over it probably because i'm pretty much focused on arthur/merlin. yes. morgana is pretty.

wow, i...am not sure how this comment got so long. SORRY.

I loooove funny shows about 20-somethings, I am definitely going to have to get to it sooner rather than later.

MAN, that sounds entertaining, I wonder why I've never heard of it. And kerfuffle is a DELIGHTFUL word, I don't know why more people don't use it. I AGREE THOUGH, Morgana is lovely.

I like long comments though!
