Questionnaire about TV. It could've had some better questions, I think.

01. Name a TV show series in which you have seen every episode at least twice:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I've probably seen nearly all of it 3 times. And I watched Angel and Firefly twice, too. It's been 3 or 4 years now since I last watched any of it, though.

02. Name a show you can't miss:
Well, anything I start watching, I have to see every episode, so all of them. I guess I'd live if I missed an All My Children, but I try not to.

03. Name an actor who would make you more inclined to watch a show:
Crispin Glover, Mark Wahlberg, Judy Greer (what happened to Miss Guided? It was totally good.), Kristen Wiig.

04. Name an actor who would make you less likely to watch a show:
I don't know, anyone who's ugly.

05. Name a show you can and do quote from:
I only know movie quotes.

06. Name a show you like that no one else enjoys:
I don't really watch enough tv, or have enough tv-related discussions with people to have one of these. Sometimes people pretend they don't love Full House, but that doesn't count because they're obviously lying. Also, a 90's show called Dead At 21 that I guess I could say no one enjoys because no one has ever heard of it. It was really good, though, and I've been trying to track it down for years.

07. Name a TV show which you've been known to sing the theme song:
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Full House.

08. Name a show you would recommend everyone to watch:
Arrested Development. The Wire (I've never seen a single episode myself, but I trust everyone else ever who has that it's actually great.)

09. Name a TV series you own on DVD:
Buffy/Angel/Firefly. Full House (first two seasons). American Gothic. Beavis & Butt-head. And I recently downloaded the complete series of Cop Rock.

10. Name an actor who launched his/her entertainment career in another medium but who has surprised you with his/her acting chops in television:
Can the "other medium" be film? If so, then I still have no idea.

11. What is your favorite episode of your favorite series?
I couldn't say what my favorite series is, but it used to be Buffy, and my favorite episodes of that were Once More, With Feeling and Normal Again.

12. Name a show you keep meaning to watch but you just haven’t gotten around to yet:
Deadwood, The Wire, Heroes, 30 Rock, Mad Men, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Lost, 24, Pushing Daisies, Cop Rock, The Big Bang Theory, Flavor of Love, Supernatural, Amazing Stories, Battlestar Galactica, The Ben Stiller Show, Britney and Kevin: Chaotic, Carnivale, Degrassi season 2 through whatever it's up to with The Next Generation, Extras, Freaks and Geeks (I saw most of it in it's original run, but need to rewatch), Planet of the Apes live-action and cartoon (these are two more that I own on DVD, actually), Project Greenlight, Reno 911, The Simple Life, Six Feet Under, Stella, Undeclared, Weeds, Gilmore Girls seasons 6 and 7, Wonder Showzen season 2, The Office (US), Angels in America, Charmed, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Dinner for Five, Invasion, The L Word, Queer as Folk, The Sopranos, Millennium, My Name Is Earl, Nip/Tuck, The OC, Rescue Me, The Singing Detective, The Young Ones (though I'm pretty sure I'll hate it), Alias, Dark Angel, First Person, Gun, The Hitchhiker, Oz, Smallville, Taken, V, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Crime Story, Dead Like Me, Gossip Girl, True Blood, Californication, So You Think You Can Dance, Spaced, This American Life, Cathouse.

13. Ever quit watching a show because it was so bad?
I quit watching Dexter after 5 episodes, but I still might try again just as soon as I finish with the ones listed above. I started watching an episode of Ugly Betty once, and had to quit after ten minutes because it was awful. But I can't think of anything that had a solid few seasons, but then became intolerable.

14. Name a show that's made you cry multiple times:
Buffy again. And Dawson's Creek.

15. What do you eat when you watch TV?
Pork.

16. How often do you watch TV?
Most days. I don't know how I manage to accomplish so little as far as getting shit watched.

17. What's the last TV show you watched?
Veronica Mars.

18. What's your favorite/preferred genre of TV?
Comedy, I guess. It varies.

19. What was the first TV show you were obsessed with?
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.

20. What TV show do you wish you never watched?
No regrets.

21. What is the weirdest show you enjoyed?
N/A.

22. What TV show scared you the most?
American Gothic. Not so much when I rewatched it, but when it was first on, it fucking terrified me.

23. What is the funniest TV show you have ever watched?
Arrested Development, I think.

24. Do you prefer TV to films?
In theory, yeah. I think tv has the potential to be better than films can be. But I spend a great deal more of my time on movies.

25. Name 3 TV relationships that you love.
Luke and Lorelai, Kendall and Zach from AMC (even though Kendall totally doesn't deserve him, but I love watching him deal with her), George Michael and Maeby.

26. My weekly TV watching schedule:
No schedule, just watch whatever is on the DVR. The only show I made sure to watch immediately the day it was on was I Love Money, which is over now.
