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'm tired of the two-party system.  It has degraded to a system where there are only two diametrically opposed views, neither of which supports me.  I have conservative views regarding big government and government spending but I have very liberal views when it comes to protecting the rights of individuals.  And just elections of the past, I am stuck with two choices, neither of which I support. With only two parties, each with agendas that are off the left and right scales, I am not adequately represented.    Finally, I'm okay with party affiliated politicians running for office using their party views, but once elected to office, they are obligated to support the entire electorate not just the electorate members that voted for them.  Plain and simple, our government system is broken and dysfunctional.  I'll step down from my soapbox now.

      Thanks Mae.  She was an amazing friend and I grew to love her like a sister.

      I did Ashley.  Non-rev travel was one of the major factors for taking the job.  At the time, US Airways had the best non-rev policy in the industry.  It cost $10 to fly coach and $25 to fly first class.  We flew first class whenever there were seats available.

      You should have a moderator fix what you meant to write as "birth certificate".  Ooops.   I've gone over that verse and am wholly and completely dissatisfied with the SBC exegesis of it, so much so that it was one of the things that helped me break out of a mindset of guit.  Sometime I may strut by stuff as a Hebraist and show what it really means.

      I found this   — 450 — Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise Goal #1: Protecting Life, Conscience, and Bodily Integrity. The Secretary should pursue a robust agenda to protect the fundamental right to life, protect con- science rights, and uphold bodily integrity rooted in biological realities, not ideology. From the moment of conception, every human being possesses inherent dignity and worth, and our humanity does not depend on our age, stage of development, race, or abilities. The Secretary must ensure that all HHS programs and activities are rooted in a deep respect for innocent human life from day one until natural death: Abortion and euthanasia are not health care. A robust respect for the sacred rights of conscience, both at HHS and among gov- ernments and institutions funded by it, increases choices for patients and program beneficiaries and furthers pluralism and tolerance. The Secretary must protect Americans’ civil rights by ensuring that HHS programs and activities follow the letter and spirit of religious freedom and conscience-protection laws. Radical actors inside and outside government are promoting harmful identity politics that replaces biological sex with subjective notions of “gender identity” and bases a person’s worth on his or her race, sex, or other identities. This destructive dogma, under the guise of “equity,” threatens American’s fundamental liberties as well as the health and well-being of children and adults alike. The next Secretary must ensure that HHS programs protect children’s minds and bodies and that HHS programs respect parents’ basic right to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children.   https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-14.pdf   First, that is not much, if that is all that is of concern.  Secondly, I have seen all sorts of anti-Trump slander, including the Steele dossier and the lawfare he is now undergoing, to be cynical of any criticism against him, and indirectly this document.    He deserves some of what he is getting, but not all.  Thirdly, I bolded one statement of concern.   I don't think gender identity is subjective.  "Radical actors" is name calling, and there is a lot of that going around.  Maybe I am not seeing everything of concern or reading this right, but i would discuss with the author of this document concerning this.

      Good evening   well I finally finished reading my textbook.  Yeah.  But I still have a lot more to go for the class.     My endocrinologist always asks me about lactation.  And yes I have had some very small amounts of leakage but not on any regular basis.  I figure I blocked the discharge Duce when I pierced my nipples with scare tissue.  But who knows.  I also get asked about mammograms.  I e had my first or baseline and this fall I will need to schedule my second.   As someone in the midst of studying the Old Testament, I can say that I haven’t found any mention of pending damnation for being transgender or intersex.  The closest it comes is a verse that says men should not wear women’s clothing.  Now I don’t know each and everyone’s particulars, but I know I meet the medical definition of female gender, and even in Ohio, a State that until recently refused to allow bitch certificates to be changed, I meet the criteria.  Therefore I can only conclude I am not a man wearing women’s clothing.  But there is a somewhat different scholarly explanation of that law that it should not be taken as literally as the haters want.  Mostly men should not pretend to be women to ex ape from their enemies. Or tried to hide from God.     willow

      Well, the left wing has been doing that.    I read a few things while trying to find out what the problem is and liked what I read.  But I am a conservative.    Is there something specific in there that is of concern?  Does it promise somewhere to erase trans folk? That would be problematic.

      It's a plan to basically completely take over the government by the right wing.

      I'm actually in Asheville tonight.  Some of the people in the support group invited me for dinner after the meeting.  We're going to get together again tomorrow again. It's been nice, 4 trans women and 1 trans man, together ar a restaurant.

      I found https://www.project2025.org/policy/   I will have to read it.  I have not.  What is of concern?   The link provided earlier goes back to this forum.

      'Nuff said. Yeah I'm not thrilled with Biden either. There are some conservative ideas I'm good with.  And I do feel that the current Democratic party is too cozy with the bankers and wealthy.  But despite all their talk, when it comes down to it, so are the Republicans.  And it's not the Dems calling for our eradication. Unfortunately, I see this election as existential for trans folks.

      Good evening everyone,   @Birdie your CNA Is ill informed about breast and proper bra fitting.   My wife and I are checking out a campground up in Michigan just a little North of Saginaw, MI. We had a great meal at a local tavern serving delicious perch fillet dinner.   We’re going to check out the Saginaw,MI Bay area for summer time activities for when we come back on occasion. We belong to a camping club call Adventure Outdoors and have free camping at their resorts around Michigan and Ohio.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋    
    • Abigail Genevieve
      I agree.   Biden has been known to switch positions without notice, whether on abortion, Gaza or gay marriage.  Most of what he has done has been via executive order and decision, so it does not carry the force of lasting law and can be easily reversed.  I really do not trust him at all.   Trump says a lot of things.  He switches his position all the time.  Most of what he wants to do will require legislation to accomplish, some of which will simply never become law.  I do not trust him at all.   I'm not sure which is worse for trans people specifically because of this, and the fact that the other issues that surround trans folk which I attempted to isolate this question from, but here I go :) also affect trans people along with everyone else.   In either case trans folk need to be prepared. 
    • Carolyn Marie
      I'm certain that there are some, if not many, but you would be hard pressed to find them willing to speak up on this forum.  There are many trans folk who are conservative, and believe that Biden's non-trans related policies are terrible.  Those include his economic, foreign policy, border security, and environmental policies.  I'm a lifelong Democrat, and even I don't like all of Biden's policies.  It comes down to who would do the most damage to the most people, and the most damage to America as a going democratic nation which has respect for the rule of law.   Carolyn Marie
