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

Guest FantazMic

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 picked a cancellation spot with Dr Lorimer yesterday and had my consultation a month early.  I had been worried about how it would go, but the process of exchanging information was nothing to worry about and I felt quite at ease throughout.  That’s not to say some parts weren’t challenging to articulate clearly, but Dr Lorimer’s manner helped enormously.   The GI/GD diagnosis was such a welcome conclusion to it all, and such an important milestone in my journey.   Now for the Endo consult waiting…

      This one is NOT over, and this is not a final final ruling on the matter since this was a procedural and not substantive ruling based on scientific evidence.

      I am on a three month review cycle for dosage. Do you have a plan with your doctor? I didn't discuss overall strategy when I got my prescription, it was a very long appointment. I was able to ask via web message to get a better idea; we'll check blood every 3 months and titrate accordingly. I don't know if we'll change labs to 6mo after a year or not, but that's where I'm at now. I, too, was like "is this enough?" at the start. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't, but I've seen positive results during the months at a lower dose and continue to notice changes. For instance, my skin sensitivity is much higher. I always wondered why my wife was so ticklish, but I'm starting to understand why. I'll bet I am 20-40% more sensitive to touch than I was before; gently tickling my arm (I would wake up doing this sometimes, up and down my arms) now makes my fingers tingle...in a good way. :)

      @mattie22 Welcome to the Forums Mattie.  Our basic view here is that if you have any questions about your gender then you are not Cis Gender and belong here for that reason alone, because if you are not Cis, then you are someplace in the Trans and/or Non Binary part of the world, and on this site, that is simply who is here, Trans and NB folks!  Be comfortable and do not be afraid to ask questions here, or even give answers to others from your own experience.

      Thanks for the great advice and support @Astrid. I appreciate it!
    • Astrid
      When you are sure you want to continue your HRT journey and the best dosage for you, consider asking your doctor for a three month prescription cycle (90 days rather than 30). This can result for some in considerable savings. It definitely did for me...   I am at the 4 year 5 month mark for my estrogen patches and am so glad I made the decision to go forward.    Best wishes!   Astrid

      I watched someone bury one out on Topsail Island one time.  Made me glad I was on foot.  They did get out before the tide got it though.

      @KymmieL you know that picture was from right down the road from here.  A guy lent his New Red Jeep to his brother.  Brother decided it would be fun to drive on the beach, got stuck tried to self extract, got stuck worse.  Tide came in, a storm tide.  That was the end of the brothers jeep!   now, was that the same Jeep or just a look alike? 🤔. The Red Jeep of Myrtle Beach is infamous.   what about putting aluminum diamond plate on both sides so they match using high strength automotive sealant adhesive?edges could be worked so they aren’t blunt which would be bad.  Paying for body work here is VERY expensive!  And my body work is limited to Fiberglas sailboats.   Willow

      Bob met her in the parking  lot.  "I tried to call, but no answer." "My phone is missing. I thought it was in my purse but it wasn't. I emptied my purse and my desk but no phone. I checked around.  I don't know where it is." "Well, I found you." "You did, and I am glad." "You are?  I was afraid you were off on a date with one of a dozen of your boyfriends." "Bob, let me be perfectly clear.  There is no one else.  There never has been anyone else. There never will be anyone else. " "Sounds serious." "Dead serious.  Now stop worrying. Don't even tease me about it." "Did I tell you that the only girls I dated reminded me of you, and they both broke it off. They said the same thing: either marry you or get over you." "I think you said that.  I am not ready for that yet." "Neither am I." "I need to change before we go." He had the Wrangler.  It would have been rude to make him wait outside, so he sat in her main room while she went down the hall. He heard her lock the door, no surprise.  Absolutely clean. The laptop on the corner desk had its cover closed, and there was a thick Excel workbook beside it.  Printer.  Wall calendar with cats.  A sunflower wall decoration.  Love seat. Coffee table that was clear.  A Bible underneath it and some books from high school days: John Powell's Why Am I Afraid to Tell You Who I Am topped one neat pile, and Success with Seasons: How To Look Your Best headed another, with geometric perfection. He could see into the kitchen.  There were a few clean dishes in the dish drainer but the sink was clean. Around the corner, behind the entrance door, was the laundry room and he could see the dress she wore last night hanging there. She had washed it after wearing it once? Wow.   Now she was out: figure-hugging jeans, knee-high boots, a pretty pink top, her hair pulled back with a band. She smiled at him, grabbed a cross-body bag and proclaimed herself ready. "I didn't leave my phone here, either. Let me try something." She went to the computer and logged in, entered a website, entered a number.  "This should GPS my phone but it is dead. Very strange. Like someone stole it." "Do you want to report it missing?" "No. I have a feeling it will turn up tomorrow  Probably in my desk, lower drawer, at the back, the batteries out. I have a co-worker who would think it is funny." "I'm not amused." "Likewise.  Oh. Church. Bible.  She grabbed a worn ESV from a shelf and flashed a smile at Bob that lit up his world from head to toe and said, "Ready." It was a fast food restaurant with a limited menu.  She had ordered quickly last night.  But now she stood and stared at the menu.  Several times she went up to the counter and asked questions, and finally was handed their Nutritional Fact Sheet. It was twenty minutes from the time they entered to when she ordered a side salad, a small cheeseburger (no pickle, no mustard, no ketchup, but BBQ sauce and no onion rings) and iced tea.  He paid for both meals. "Let's say grace." "Okay, now that we are going to be church people, we should."  He did, and they ate. "You are beautiful." "Focus, Bob, focus." He smiled.  "How was your day?" "I love the roses, but don't do it again, please.  The women in my office are terrible." "Okay. Saves me some money." "That's what I love about you." They laughed.  They pulled into the parking lot of Community Church.  It was a friendly crowd dressed as they were and they fit right in. They buried themselves in the middle of a pew towards the back.  The Worship Team cranked up and they could feel the vibrations throughout their bodies.  They went through a number of high-paced songs.  "Uh-oh," Taylor whispered, and gestured.  The offering was being taken by the hostess who got fired the previous night. "Should we leave now?" "I should talk you into Thursday evenings.  We are talking about not backing down.  Not hiding." The ex-hostess prayed over the offering , eyes closed, and opened them.  Somehow she was looking right at Taylor. She stared for a moment, and then said "Brother Mike, time for the Word."   As he came on stage she whispered something to him.  He turned, scanned the crowd until he found Taylor, and stared at her for ten seconds or so. "You sure you don't want to leave?" "I want to crawl under my seat.  But I would not respect myself in the morning." Brother Mike began with a long prayer about sin in the camp.  Society was degenerating. Men were thinking they were women and women men. He had been meaning to address this issue since he had heard about sin coming even to their own city, and now was the Kairos, for the devil was among them tonight. "Now would be a good time to go." "Ssssh." "In the beginning God made them male and female. Amen?" He got a big amen.  Bob and Taylor amen-ed along with the rest of them.  Brother Mike was surprised.  He continued. This was off the cuff.  He went down the same list that Aggie liked to send her, which amused Taylor.  Taylor amen-ed all of them.  "Oooh, now, tonight there will be DELIVERANCE in the house of the Lord!" AMEN "Freedom from bondage in the Name of the LORD!" "Amen!" "You once were slaves, but Christ has set you free!" This continued for some twenty minutes.  Brother Mike wiped the sweat off his forehead with a towel someone gave him. "Any SINNERS tonight who need DELIVERANCE? Come on down!" Bob and Taylor watched as a few people made their way to the front.  Brother Mike looked directly at Bob and Taylor. "There are more tonight for the  harvest of the LORD!" He looked at them again.  People in this section!" That was the front right.  And here!" That was the section they were in.  About twenty people around them responded and went up front. "We have a mighty harvest here tonight! Altar workers, come Fooorwaaard and minister to God's children."  Several older people, clutching Bibles and wearing vests that said ALTAR WORKER on the back, came forward. "Pray for mercy! Oh, sinners do you feel the mercy of God in the House of the Lord tonight!" He looked at Bob and Taylor, now sitting in a large area of otherwise empty seats.  Ahead of them and behind them and on the other side of the main aisle there were a lot more people.  "There are more sinners here tonight. I can feel it. Isn't the grace of God tugging on your heart?" "I like the grace of God tugging on my heart part, but no way am I going down there." "Agreed." After a while no one else came forward.  Brother Mike took one more last look at them and signaled for the Worship Team to come up and do a closing number. "Ready to leave?" "No, I'm not." "What are you waiting for, Taylor?" "I'm not sure.  We might have an interesting conversation." "Here?" "Yes." "I want to hear your definition of an interesting conversation sometime." They sat and watched as those up front diminished in number.  Other people slipped out.  Brother Mike looked at them several times, but he was mainly praying for people. The last worship number ended.  People were still up front praying. "Well that was fun," Taylor said in the Wrangler. "Strike that one off the list of churches to go to."  Someone was running up to them. "Wait a minute!  Y'all are first time visitors?" "Yes, we are."   The guy smiled.  "Here is a complimentary coffee cup for each of you.  Sorry we missed you earlier.  God bless.."  With that he was gone. They looked at the cups. Community Church, Millvale.  Have a Blessed Day. "Something to remember it by." "I don't think I will forget. I wonder what second time visitors get?" "I am so not interested. "   The next day her phone was exactly where she thought it would be.  Something would have to be done, but she was not sure what.  In the meantime her phone and purse would be in the drawer, and the drawer would be locked whenever she was away from her desk.
