1. Shows I've been watching since school’s been out
- Game of Thrones
- The Walking Dead
- Breaking Bad
I first heard about The Walking Dead while I was taking my freshman English course. My professor was pretty interested in the zombie sub-genre and she introduced us to the Walking Dead comic. I was really excited to hear it became a TV show and I've been following it ever since.
I started watching Breaking Bad because I saw it on Netflix, I really like the characters in this show. I especially like seeing the character development of Walter White. (I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't watched it)
2. Peripheral Shows -- Shows I watch because someone else is watching them
- The Mighty Boosh
- Bad Education
- QI - Quite Interesting
- Top Gear - UK only.
- Black Books
- Family Guy
- Futurama
As for Family Guy and Futurama, I used to watch these shows all the time at home, but I've stopped and only watch these shows if somebody else is watching them.
3. Guilty No-Go -- Shows I think I should watch because other people like them
- Seinfeld
4. Guilty Pleasures
- Power Rangers
- Justice League
- Power Puff Girls
5. All-Time Favorites
- Doctor Who
6. Shows I used to like, but not anymore
- Dragon Ball Z
- Heroes
As for Heroes. My friend and I were all about this show when it aired during high-school. But after the first season, it just got less and less interesting.
7. Shows I resisted for a long time, but now I'm a fan
- Lost
- Game of Thrones
I didn't watch Game of Thrones at first because I thought it was just a medieval show. Then, when I found out there were zombie-like creatures (White Walkers), I instantly became interested and started to watch it. I was also watching The Walking Dead at the time and I wanted another zombie show. When I also found out about the dragons and the amazing storyline, Game of Thrones became a favorite.
8. Shows I would rather eat charcoal than watch these shows
- Some Reality Shows
- Here Comes Honey Boo Boo
- Jersey Shore
- Recent Cartoon Network Shows
- Adventure Time
- Chowder
- Regular Show
I tried watching some recent Cartoon Network Shows like Adventure Time and Regular Show, but I from what I've seen a lot of it is just nonsense and I cannot make myself sit and watch these shows.
9. Anime and other Cartoons I enjoy
- One Piece
- Hunter x Hunter
- Sword Art Online
- Yu Yu Hakusho
- Samurai Jack
- Avatar the Last Airbender
- The Legend of Korra
- Dexter's Labratory
Hi Brian! Hope your summer has started off well! I love that you like Anime. I was wondering if you had ever seen Cowboy Beepbop? Probably one of my all time favorites! I definitely recommend. The style is pretty edgy and I love the corgi Ein. I also love Top Gear and all other British shows. I agree that their humor is much better than American humor and I love their idealization of human beings. The people that the hold as celebrities are always real people rather than these super celebs that America has, who are outrageously pretty. Jeremy Clarkson always points this out when joking with Richard Hammonds about his abnormally white teeth.
ReplyDeleteI'm also a huge Doctor Who fan (I'm actually wearing a Timelord t-shirt now). I agree that Chris Eccleston was a wonderful doctor. He stole my attention and David Tennant stole my heart. Haha. You should check out the older show as well. It started as an educational after school special, but gets much better by the time the fourth doctor comes around! I believe most are available on Netflix, minus the first season due to the VHS tapes being taped over by the BBC to save money back in the day. :)
Hope the rest of your summer is AWESOME! Good luck in class as well.

I think you should give Adventure Time another chance. Although the style of humor on the show may turn people off, the longer you watch it you realize there is a rich backstory to the show that you learn more about during the course of the show. I like Nickelodeon's Avatar series too, because while most kids' tv today is more or less played for comedy, Avatar and Korra are bothy highly dramatic series that are very rare in children's TV and kids shows in general, and I think animation can be just as dramatic as live-action shows can, and I hope to see more dramatic kid shows in the future
