out of nowhere

When I started doing the meme below last night, I had no idea I was going to spend the next five hours being sick as a dog. My night consisted of rushed trips to the loo, throwing up and... well, you know, coming out the other end too. How lovely. I'm on 7up today, and just now I've tried a couple of saltine style crackers. See if I can keep 'em down.

::sigh:: 

I'm bushed. 

01. Name a TV show series in which you have seen every episode at least twice:

Hmm... that's a tough one. Probably The Magnificent Seven because it turned out to be a short series. While I'd like to say The X-Files, I know I haven't seen the last two-three seasons more than once.

02. Name a show you can't miss:

There's more than one but if I have to choose only one, right now I'd say NCIS.

03. Name an actor who would make you more inclined to watch a show:

Jason Momoa, but there are plenty more.

04. Name an actor who would make you less likely to watch a show:

There's someone else but I just can't think now... so I'll go with David Caruso. Just can't stand him since CSI Miami.

05. Name a show you can and do quote from:

House. "I don't ask why patients lie, I just assume they all do."

06. Name a show you like that no one else enjoys:

Right now I'd say True Blood only because no one in my circle of friends that I know of, RL or virtual, watch that show.

07. Name a TV show which you've been known to sing the theme song: 

In the Night Garden. (that's what happens when you have a toddler...) 

08. Name a show you would recommend everyone to watch: 

Life

09. Name a TV series you own on DVD:

SG-1 (and a few more - to my husband's bewilderment) 

10. Name an actor who launched his/her entertainment career in another medium but who has surprised you with his/her acting chops in television:

Rhona Mitra in Boston Legal. I always just saw her as a model.

11. What is your favorite episode of your favorite series? 

Wow. I never thought of that. I really enjoyed 'Small Potatoes' and 'Bad Blood' (The X-Files), but I wouldn't say that show is my favourite series so... that would be a tie between NCIS and Stargate Atlantis at present. So maybe 'Sateda' for SGA and 'SWAK' for NCIS. 

12. Name a show you keep meaning to watch but you just haven’t gotten around to yet:

The Unit

13. Ever quit watching a show because it was so bad? 

Desperate Housewives... Sanctuary... and I'm sure there is and will be plenty more. 

14. Name a show that's made you cry multiple times: 

Multiple times? Hmm, probably none. But Eli Stone made me cry. I'm sure there's a couple of others. BSG maybe. Babylon 5. The West Wing, CSI... 

15. What do you eat when you watch TV?

At night? A couple of pieces of chocolate. But not always.

16. How often do you watch TV?

Usually an hour or two before bed to unwind.

17. What's the last TV show you watched? 

Stargate Atlantis, this morning. 

18. What's your favorite/preferred genre of TV?

Overall? Probably sci-fi.

19. What was the first TV show you were obsessed with? 

Obsessed is a bit strong. I really got into Battlestar Galactica way back when, and Simon and Simon. But obsessed? Probably The X-Files. 

20. What TV show do you wish you never watched? 

Desperate Housewives, I think. It got to be such drivel. 

21. What is the weirdest show you enjoyed?

Lexx

22. What TV show scared you the most?

Dexter is disturbing. Not sure about scary... Supernatural is the right genre, but can't quite call it scary either. 

23. What is the funniest TV show you have ever watched? 

Friends used to be a cracker. Red Dwarf too. Currently I'd say House, Californication or Bones. Not that they're real 'comedies'...

24. Do you prefer TV to films? 

Not necessarily. Depends. 

25. Name 3 TV relationships that you love. 

Bab5: Cole/Ivanova 
NCIS: Tony/Ziva
Bones: Booth/Bones
 
in no particular order and not necessarily as an item either. And I did have a soft spot for Josh/Donna (The West Wing).
