Television nostalgia - part the first

[diandrahollman]

I really wanted to do the "Lost" meme that was going around in the weeks leading up to the finale, but I didn't think I could even answer half the questions on it (what's a tumblr?). Also, several of them would have been duplicated with answers in the television meme, so...

Taken from danadoggett . I'm obviously bad about post-a-day memes, so I'll probably post this in batches. Here's the first eight days worth:

Day 01- A show that should have never been canceled -
I was always bitter about the 2002-03 television season because my three favorite shows were all cancelled with only one even making it to season end...and ending on a cliffhanger. But..."Pushing Daisies" and "Moonlight" (seriously, what were they thinking with "Moonlight"?!)

Day 02 - A show that you wish more people were watching -
Not sure I would actually wish for that - other than in hindsight when the show is cancelled because not *enough* people were watching. I think there's a point when the audience is *too* broad and the show becomes watered down because TPTB is trying to appeal to *everyone* including casual "viewers" who just have the television on in the background and don't even care what's on. Though I do wish more people I knew in my real life had watched "Lost" because I feel like the only people I could really talk to and trade theories with were on LJ.

Day 03 - Your favorite new show (aired this t.v season) -
"Human Target". Chi McBride is awesomesauce.

Day 04 - Your favorite show ever -
"Lost". No contest.

Day 05 - A show you hate -
I want to say "Survivor" and all the other "reality" show crap that has been filling space on the television schedule, but...I don't watch them. Other than that one partial episode of "Survivor" that I had to watch in television studies class that made me want to gouge my eyes out. But I should probably focus on shows I watched more than fifteen minutes of, so...I have to go with "24". I used to like it, but it became so repeatative and stupid that I grew to hate it. It eventually got to the point where the sound of that tick-thump tick-thump made my teeth clench.

Day 06 - Favorite episode of your favorite t.v show -
An episode is just an arbitrary division of time in the epic mythology that was "Lost". They often blended one right into the other in my mind (except for "Across the Sea", which stood out in a *bad* way).

Day 07 - Least favorite episode of your favorite t.v show -
Well, that Bai Ling episode was pretty useless. I think "Across the Sea" may have trumped it though.

Day 08 - A show everyone should watch -
