Not until now, have I noticed that I'm very narrow minded in what I watch on television. For, after thinking about what shows it is that I watch, recurring themes and genres shine through. I rarely watch TV, save for when following a particular series, so hardly ever more than twice a week. All the series I have been watching have a supernatural theme.

Since speaking of a supernatural theme, it would be wise to start with the show, 'Supernatural'. I'm sure you may have heard it, if not have seen it before. It's about two brothers, who basically go around killing paranormal creatures. The plotline can get a little stale at times, since each episode's layout is mostly reminiscent of the last. Perhaps why I enjoy it is because of Jared Padalecki, who plays the character Sam. Mayhap one may remember him from Gilmore Girls? He is rather pleasing to the eye, and I do realise that I must seem as shallow as a shower.

'Smallville', a show featuring the youth of Superman when he was merely known as Clark Kent has intrigued me througout the years. Admittedly, a season or two have eluded me, since the times they were aired were not in my favour, but I still enjoy the show whence time permits. It is a little less predictable than 'Supernatural', but not very. For example, in the earlier seasons the end of the episodes seldom finished without Clark Kent almost telling his crush that he was 'special'. Of course, such a show would be nigh on impossible to pull off without traces of predictability, since 'Superman' is an established character.

Finally, I bring myself to 'Heroes'. 'Heroes' has caught my eye a lot more recently than 'Smallville' or 'Supernatural'. Having grown up with fantasy novels and a fascination to escape reality probably attributes to my attraction to surreal shows. What I like most about 'Heroes' is that good and evil is not always so clear cut, and how it focuses on different protagonists, and even antagonists throughout the show. It's much like a book that begins with characters that have nothing to do with each other, but unforseen circumstances bring them together for a climax.

I think that shall do, for now. I also watch programs such as 'Charmed' and 'Torchwood'. I also remember being an avid fan of Zelda when I was younger. I'm assuming that I have an acquired taste, and it's a shame that I can't get into 'normal' shows. 'House' is an exception to that loose rule, however. Nothing but a cynical doctor can drag my head out from under a rock, it seems.

Ohh...

Little Britain and The Mighty Boosh... exceptions to my 'OHEMGEEILIKEMAGIC' thing!

I don't watch them religiously, but they sure make me laugh when I see them. :P

My favorite show used to be Chris Carter's Millennium. I still think its the finest bit of horror that ever managed to get on the small screen.

But these days my obsession is Angel.

My friend Justin gave me all five seasons of Angel for Christmas last year. He's obsessed with it, and he just wanted me to see it. I used to watch Buffy religiously, but never got to see Angel when it was on. So, I'm just a couple of episodes short of the end of season three right now, and yeah, its awesome.

Like treefish i'm a big fan of supernatural series ^^

-i watch "smallville" whenever it is on, but often miss it because of school hours that keep changing every week >_<

-"Lost"!!! i love that show, now seeing season 4 on tv, i'm just have to keep watching, to know the ending, i've come too far!

- i used to watch "stargate sg1" and "sliders" alot, really really great shows ^^ but nowadays not that often anymore

-"terminator: Sarah Connor chronicles" it just started here on tv, so i'm hooked :--D

i wanted to follow the 4400 but that never happened :--(

oh, my sis has also all 8 seasons of charmed! i'm not as addicted to it as my sis, but i do like the show ^^

okay, besides all the magical/supernatural stuff i also like friends i think i saw every episode at least 3 times :P

I love chandler!

i used to watch a certain soap serie with the rest of my family, but after a couple of years, it gets kinda boring... (hmmm, maybe something interesting has happened now, maybe i'll watch tomorrow)

ooooh, one last thing, there's a new serie a called "LouisLouise" the follow up of "Sara" (the dutch version of ugly betty) it's not about an ugly person, but about a really macho guy named Louis, who get's cursed by one of his ex-girlfriends, and wakes up the next morning as a woman "Louise". No one knows about his transformation except his best friend and roommate (she secretly has a crush on him). so it's kinda a funny show ^^ the actresse playing Louise is very good at pretending to be a guy turned into a girl overnight XD

My favorites are all crime dramas, Law & Order, Law & Order SVU, CSI Miami, NCSI and on cable reruns of Magnum PI, Murder She Wrote, Walker Texas Ranger and Matlock (OK, I admit it - I'm old).

lol scrubs is amazingg!

I can pretty much quote any episode at will

It's actually surprisingly accurate about the medical world (as long as you stick to strictly medical aspects, and not wheelchair bowling lol), and since I want to be a doctor, I appreciate that

but mostly it's fricking hilarious :D

House.

I don't have much time for TV watching, but I always save time for House. It does everything that hasn't already been done before. They covered all the basics, and when that got boring, they made their own basics. The characters have been ripped apart (figuratively, of course). They all have extensive backrounds, except house, and you can even kind of predict the way the show is going, whether it's normal or not. That's how well it's written.

I'd definately check it out. It's an awesome show. :D

Most definately South Park, along with: Two and a half men, King of queens, Frasier, Friends, Family guy, The Simpsons, Everybody loves Raymond, and Rab C. Nesbitt.

Comedy fan much? :lol:

I usually only watch tv on Monday night cause all my favorite shows are on that night and all in line.

Big Bang Theory: I love Sheldon he makes the entire show.

How I Met Your Mother: A great show to replace Friends.

Two and Half Men: Just Funny, even tho this season they are repeating some jokes and it seems like they are running out of new material.

I see a trio of sub-themes in my list:

1) Medical shows - Grey's Anatomy (must watch series for me), House, MD (current season on FOX, re-runs on USA), Private Practice (ABC, moving to Thursdays following Grey's), and (drum roll on steel bed pans, please) Scrubs (TV Land and Comedy Central);

2)Law Enforcement-related dramas - Psych, Monk and (next summer) In Plain Sight (USA), Medium (Lifetime);

3) Science and/or technology - Mythbusters & Time Warp (Discovery); The Universe, Modern Marvels & Extreme Trains (History)

Others - Futureama, South Park & Chocolate News (Comedy Central) [i'll admit it- I've got a warped sense of humor].

Currently it's 24, House, Californication, Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice (in that order). I also watched Prison Break, but it got dumb after season 2 - and then there are the shows that are no longer with us, so to say - Ally McBeal, Picket Fences and Arrested Development for one and those comedy thingies I grew up with: ALF, Out of this world and Married with children.

Does anybody else remember "Out of this world"? I loved that theme song.

I tend to be all over the place so here we go.

Man vs. food, independant lens on PBS, Intervention on A&E, South Park, Family Guy, and Animal Police

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
