So outside of anime, are there any TV shows that you love?
You can also mention movies if you like.
I don't watch that much TV anymore but when I do I usually stick to Comedy, Fantasy or Sci-Fi etc. Basically all fictional or silly stuff
So as you can imagine, all the reality TV shows that are pretty popular these days haven't hooked me
I used to watch The X-Files back when it was on during the 1990s and loved it. Especially Mulder! I now have the whole series on DVD. Plus the movie.
For comedy I love the silly humour of Monty Python and have the whole series on DVD. I need to get the movies on DVD sometime. I also have a couple of Monty Python computer games (originally I sold them because I needed money to buy more games then regretted it for years and finally managed to buy them back).
And I like Red Dwarf, The Young Ones
I also like a lesser known programme called The Adam and Joe Show that used to be on British TV in the 1990s. It was basically two blokes in their bedroom doing funny skits and (best of all) parodies with stuffed toys and Star Wars figures. Fantastic stuff. Too bad they only released a "Best Of" DVD and thats it (well worth buying though)! But I got the episodes from recordings....
I recently discovered The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Boy have I been missing out, Douglas Adams is great (there I was thinking it was just some kind of odd-named guide book or something...
)
I also recently discovered the Doctor Who series (longest running sci-fi series. Over 40 years. Something else I've been missing out on like Hitchikers! Well I was always aware of it though, since it's part of British pop culture). It's also in the midst of a revival with a new series recently. My favourite person to be in the lead role though is
this guy, the Fourth Doctor who was in it during the late 1970s (extremely popular during that period), he's very nifty. (Psst... I made a fansite... but I'm not making it very public yet cos I'm still working on it...
here ).
Looking forward to the new series in 2006 and Christmas special.
And well everyones gotta love the Muppets right? I'm really looking forward to buying the Muppet Show coming out on DVD soon. And Fraggle Rock also coming on DVD.... So much fun. That's like over 40 episodes of muppet mania.... heaven.
An old kids show I love is Roger and the Rottentrolls.... very funny. Originally (not many people probably know this though, but I listened to it as a kid and adored it) it was a short kids audio story but later it became a TV series. I love the episode where they're mimicking comic book heroes, and because the one troll is kicked out the main gang he decides to make his own hero team called the Barrel Rangers (cue shots of people in barrels) "Go go Barrel Ranger 1!" *barrel falls over* "Ack!"
Well... lots of shows really I'm gonna stop rambling now, maybe I'll think of more shows to reccomend later
... In more recent news I'm enjoying the Catherine Tate comedy show that's on British TV at the moment. Funny skit show. I don't watch much TV so it's one of the very few things I do watch.
