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

      Lunch was at Cabaret, still free.  The place was quiet: it was the sort of place you took a business client to impress them, and the few other people were in business suits.  Most of the legal profession was there.   She told him of the morning's frustrations, breaking her own rule about confidentiality.  She asked Karen how the branding was going, and Karen had snapped back that she had not started on it yet - they had all these proposals.  Taylor had explained that it was important, for the two o'clock meeting, and Karen told her to do it herself.  Karen pointed out that Taylor could not touch her - her uncle was on the Board and her brother was VP of Manufacturing.  Nor would the two computer guys go out to the plant - they were playing some kind of MMORPG and simply not available. If she wanted the pictures, she should go.  Mary prayed an Ave Maria, but both she and Brenda were racing to get the proposal out. The client wanted it Friday for review.   She didn't bring up what Mrs. McCarthy had told her.  She wasn't sure how to approach it.  She thought of telling her of a 'something more comfortable' she had bought in case he ever DID show up at her door. It was in the bottom drawer of her dresser, ready to go.  Instead she talked about moving to a place with a garage.  Several of the abandoned houses had one, and they had been maintained well with China cash.   Bob had finally realized that when he was introduced as Bob, Taylor's boyfriend, that was just how things were done here. Other people had introduced each other in terms of family relationships, which were strong.  Long before you found out anything else about someone, you knew how they were related.  Family kept people from leaving Millville.    "What is the real name of this town, anyway?"   She laughed.  "I am trying to find that out.  It's 'Welcome to Millvale' when you come into town from the north, and 'Welcome to Millville' on the south.  I have counted two other variants."   "What a town. Roosevelt is like that, with the families, but there is only one spelling."

      Nothing wrong with that. I'm glad that you found what makes you happy! Just curious what does your wife think? If it's too personal I understand.

      Bob was on his way home from the dojo and he "just happened" to driver by her place. It was 10:30.  Her light was still on.  He knew exactly where she was sitting.  He saw her in his mind.   A fierce wave of desire that took his breath away suddenly showed up. All he had to do was stop, get out of the car, walk to the door and knock.  She would answer, glad to see him.  She would know why he was there and what he wanted. She would invite him in, maybe get him something to drink, disappear for a moment and return in "something more comfortable."  She would lead him back. Oh, joy.   And never, ever speak to him again afterwards.  Or she would not let him in but be angry about it.  In no way, emotionally, physically, mentally or spiritually, was she ready for this, and he knew it, if he was honest with himself, and she knew he knew it.  She would look upon it as another assault and their relationship would be irretrievably broken.  He would have to leave town. It would devastate her. It would devastate him.    He fought himself.  He was frozen to his seat as his reason and his body fought. He was twenty four years old, a full-blooded male with normal desires; he had just worked out and he was ready.  All he had to do now was open the car door. No one would know. He held his hands, one in the other, to keep one from moving, against his reason and will, to open that door.  He did not want to be a slave of his desires.   He looked across the street.  Mrs. McCarthy, sister of his landlord, was peeking though her window.  She knew his car.  Everyone in town would know by noon the next day if he got out of the car.  Taylor did not need that, either, and she would know, if he came to the door now, what a selfish thing it would be: in his own eyes, in the eyes of Taylor, in the eyes of the town, and worst of all, in the eyes of God.   He sat there a moment longer.  He was, as he reflected, entering into her sufferings in a small way that she would be made whole, healthy and happy: what he wanted more than anything.  But this hurt.  Why had all this come on her?  He asked God again, but there was only silence. He drove home in that silence. He chided himself for even going on her street and for driving on it other nights.  He would stop that, he told himself.   ------------------------------------------   The next morning Taylor went out to her car to go to work.  Mrs. McCarthy met her before she got to it. "I thought you were going to get lucky last night, dearie," she said. Taylor was puzzled. "Why, what do you mean?" "That young fellow - you know, Bob - he's been driving around here, going up and down the street some nights, not stopping.  Well, last night he parked and sat in his car for a while.   I think he was staring at your window.  I think he was trying to get up the courage to knock on the door. I was rooting for him.   But then he drove away.  Faint heart never won fair lady, as they say. What a shame. You two are a lovely couple.  Well, have a good day!" "Thank you, Mrs. McCarthy."  Taylor knew Bob extremely well and knew what had been going through his mind.  She was more than grateful he had not gotten out of the car. Better for him, better for her, better for everybody.  Surgery "down there" sooner than later.  This was driving the poor boy crazy. It was driving her crazy, too.  But she had a lot to work through. Surgery "up here" she said, pointing to her head.  She woke up her therapist on the way to work.  They were still talking when she pulled into her designated parking spot.  That was a perk that had happened yesterday.  She took a deep breath and headed into work. It would be another wild day.

      I'm thinking about some interactions yesterday I did, while presenting as male but acting as female, that were far better than I did when I was presenting as male and acting as male.  #girlunderhood. I do a crappy job at acting as male and I am giving it up.  I am not talking about feminine gestures or presentation but just relating as a woman.  People don't realize I am doing it but it is a whole lot easier to do.   You don't just put on a dress and BOOM you are a girl.  You are a girl and you put on a dress.  Or not. Whether I am in jeans or a skirt (I wish, wife would have lots to say) I am a girl.  I don't need $250 in makeup and heels and hose and all that.  I don't need surgery. Honey, I have arrived.  Now I have to work out how that best works in my life, causing the minimal damage and creating the maximum good, but I have more working room.   Oh, and I am still pissed off at everyone and everything. #Contradictory.

      @Willow it is certainly possible that my husband planned it. Placing me in the path of an opportunity....he certainly does things like that. GF has done some work for the company as an outside consultant, so I'm sure the company owner knows what potential resources are around.    It could also have just happened randomly. He has taken me to work with him before, just because he likes to have me around. I remember one time that I fell asleep with my head in his lap, and he held a meeting with his subordinates without waking me and making me move.  The company culture is family oriented and relaxed.

      The photo is great.  Software is phenomenal but it also is sort of a promise of things to come. Years ago this sort of thing took a photographer and Photoshop and all sorts of things and you would say, "I can look like THIS??"   Me, I am a duck.  That's from my driver's license.  Just kidding.

      I lucked into that picture. I took like 10 before that, which appropriately make me look like a donkey. ;)   Thank you so much for the compliment!

      This is a great analogy. The statement is true as it relates to the tree. The analogy fits because we as a LGBTQIA community are stronger when we stand together. It also work here on Transgender Pulse Forums. The support I feel from so many others has made me comfortable with my stance, because I'm in a beautiful forest of friends. So when I'm out alone and confronted. I can respond and act like the single tree in the field, surviving whatever comes my way. My roots reach back and communicate with others like me.    Standing Strong,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
