Week 1: Lists of Shows

1. Shows I've been watching since school’s been out

• Game of Thrones
• The Walking Dead
• Breaking Bad

I really like the storyline in Game of Thrones, there is always something that keeps me interested. I recently started to read the books and it is amazing.

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

My roommate introduces me to a lot of British Television shows. I think they are more interesting than American. I enjoy British Comedy over American.

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

Seinfeld is a pretty popular show I hear, but I'd only watch it if I were in a hospital bed or something. I'd watch a couple other things before watching Seinfeld.


4. Guilty Pleasures

• Power Rangers
• Justice League
• Power Puff Girls

I used to watch these shows all the time as a child. I always liked how the Power Rangers had their robots transform into a bigger robot to combine their powers. As for the Justice League and Power Puff Girls... I suppose I generally enjoy shows that have some sort of superpower. Plus, Mojo Jo-Jo is just hilarious.


5. All-Time Favorites

• Doctor Who

I started to watch Doctor Who a couple years ago when Christopher Eccleston was still The Doctor. I've loved this show ever since and I don't think I can ever stop.


6. Shows I used to like, but not anymore

• Dragon Ball Z
• Heroes

I used to watch Dragon Ball Z after school. I've tried re-watching DBZ, but I can't take it seriously anymore. There are just too many "powering up" scenes. 

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 first heard of Lost during high-school, but I didn't watch it because I thought it was a reality show like Survivor. When I found this show on Netflix, my friend recommended that I watch it and told me it was a supernatural/Sci-Fi, I gave it another chance and couldn't stop watching. 

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 generally don't like shows like Here Comes Honey Boo Boo or Jersey Shore, these shows do not interest me whatsoever.

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

I grew up watching Japanese Anime and other cartoons. As a child, I always enjoyed drawing and making little animations. These shows are just my favorites.
