My TV to-be-watched list

[I’m posting this again because apparently Tumblr got hungry and ate the previous post overnight. Good thing that losing many a blog draft over the years got me into the habit of always saving everything in Word first. I can actually still see the first post’s notes/answers with recommendations and enthusiastic thumbs up for stuff already on the list, though - thank you so much :D]

…because Amy and Iris were asking on Twitter. So:

Watching at the moment: season 3 of Angel (just started) and Call the Midwife (only one episode to go).

Going to watch very soon: Firefly and Lost in Austen (because both are short), Teen Wolf (because Renay is making me :P)

On the “I must get to this at some point” list: Borgen (yes Amy); Community; Parks & Recreations (I watched an episode a while ago but it didn’t grab me immediately. It’s the sort of thing I think could really grow on me, though, plus I know Jenny and others love it); a rewatch of Babylon 5 (this was a huge favourite of mine many years ago, and I’m curious to see how I’d feel about it now); Bunheads; BBC North & South (some of us are planning a watchalong on Twitter, which is really exciting :D); The Vampire Diaries (so I could have fun talks with all my friends who are fans and possibly join them in going WTF at frequent intervals?)

Weird as it sounds I’m a bit of a TV series newbie, so suggestions are always welcome. Anything else that should be on this list?

  1. untrendy answered: Revenge! It’s the Count of Monte Cristo meets Gossip Girl (but much better than GG)
  2. heyheyrenay answered: You are also free to ignore Grimm, which is WAY WORSE than Teen Wolf in many, many ways. :D
  3. kailana answered: Since you flew through Buffy, maybe we could watch TEEN WOLF together? I can probably get it…
  4. topazbooks answered: Gollee, I don’t spend much time watching t.v. I’d rather read my book. I’m going to try and watch more t.v. in the fall or winter. Try.

    Nooo! That totally came out wrong and made you sound all forceful, which is not how I see you at all (promise). The...

    ANA IT IS OKAY IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO WATCH TEEN WOLF. I will understand and be gracious, even though Stiles (because he...
  7. intoyourlungs answered: I don’t know if you have the means to watch it legally, but I highly recommend Legend of Korra!!
  8. regularrumination said: Oh and Luther!
  9. regularrumination answered: Veronica Mars! Gilmore Girls! Supernatural (though it has a lot of problems, I kind of love it unconditionally.)
  10. porchreader said: ‘Dead Like Me’ is a lot of fun.
  11. dastevens said: TV series newbie doesn’t sound weird to me. I suspect I’m not even far enough along to be called a newbie. :P Seriously, I have not seen a single episode of any of those series you mentioned. (And hadn’t even heard of a few of them!)
  12. kailana answered: Oh, I love Community!! Sadly we have sort of stalled before watching season 2. Lists like this are why we never seem to finish anything!
  13. iamlightheaded answered: Awake
  14. bookgazing said: Also, can I convince you to maybe give Revenge a go? I just love vengeful, yet sympathetic Emily.
  15. bookgazing answered: FIREFLY!!
  16. owltanager answered: Six Feet Under - long gone now and sadly missed.
  17. texasshaped answered: Original UK “The Office,” Daria. Mad Men. The X-Files, Breaking Bad, all have great standalone episodes but the pilots are arresting!
  18. bearded-nun said: Oh! And Veronica Mars!
  19. myfriendamy answered: yay Borgen!!!!! also Lost maybe….? I do think you’d like Parks and Rec it’s such a goodhearted show what ep did you see?
  20. bookalicious answered: Borgias!
  21. bearded-nun answered: Can’t wait for you to watch Firefly and Community. Dollhouse is good, Arrested Development is beyond good, Charmed, United States of Tara..
