- Dawson's Creek - Season 1: untouched since.
- Gilmore Girls - Season 7: untouched since.
- Veronica Mars - Season 1: two episodes since. Actually, it kind of became intriguing again. And I totes solved a mystery before 'the reveal'! Why I'm so excited, I don't really know.
- Gossip Girl - Season 2: two episodes since. I stopped at the sixth, content in the knowledge that Serena thinks my ex husband is "a total babe". Oh S, what will Lonely Boy say? I Watch Too Much TV: Wallace Shawn, aka Jenny's "monsieur" movie head honcho on The L Word, will pop up as Cyrus Rose, Blair's to-be stepfather and father of Serena's current squeeze, Aaron Rose, if I keep watching. But of course, I'll always know him as Clueless' Mr Hall, he who gave Cher a C in debate, because "he's a miserable little man who wants to make everyone else miserable too" (as said exactly in the staccato delivery of Dionne).
- ER - Season 12: finished. As I said it would be. Waiting impatiently for faster internet so that I may continue watching this 15th and final season. Roomies, I wait for you with bated breath and hopeful heart...
- Party of Five - Season 1: untouched since.
- The L Word - Season 5: finished. Halfway through, it got good...I think? No, it did, because Molly Kroll came along and she is all lesbianawkward and supercute and totespretty! And I continue to hate Shane's overall appearance, but never mind that now. I really wish Kit shot Dawn Denbo and her lover Cindy. I don't care that lover Cindy defected to our girls at the end, the fact that she was Denbo's lover Cindy should be reason enough for her death. And I almost forgot that Helena even existed! Do we ever find out what becomes of Dusty? Does Helena never return to her and we just assume that Dusty will rot out there somewhere? Why did I hate Jodi throughout her entire two-season run and then the minute she and Bette are over, at The Exhibition of Bette no less (called 'Core' or something equally wanky?), I suddenly find her and her straightened hair hot? Is Jodi gone for good? When did Shane learn to sign?! Why is Alice becoming so annoying to me? Why am I finding myself thinking Tina is pretty hot? Is Adele actually psychotic or did she just want to direct the movie? Why do I kind of love Jenny in some ways? So many questions. Ilene, answer meeeeee!! I Watch Too Much TV: PsychoAdele is also known to me on ER as Ray's Distraction slash Neela's Med Student slash Roomies Plot Wedge, Katey. And I used to think she was so pretty! But as I've discovered here, her face and possibly her entire head is too big for her body. And both Katey and Adele are such bitches FYI.
- My So-Called Life - Season 1: untouched since.
In the time in-between, I've managed to secure three more series, much to my chagrin (and that, Stephenie WhySoFail Meyer, is how you use the word 'chagrin': sparingly, not to mention in correct context).
- Charmed - Season 1: two episodes. It was cheeeap! And I mean that in all respects; the SFX, in particular, are laughably bad. It's better to watch it with the knowledge that Shannen Doherty is most likely a heinous bitch (with Alyssa Milano probably coming in second) and that eventually, these three sisters are going to be torn apart by backstage diva antics and Shannen will get fired/quit and Prue will die and oh noes! What of the Power of Three? That was the entire basis of this series! Oh, how convenient- we had a half-sister in Rose McGowan that we never knew about until now. Power of Three restored! And I haven't even gotten to the part where Drew Fuller, as Holly Marie Comb's not-yet-born second son, travels from the future to visit his parents and aunts so that he, as an adult, can a) prevent his older brother, as a baby, from becoming evil, and b) ensure his own conception. And in trying to save his baby older brother, he gets stabbed by Gideon! And dies as his father bad-acts and bad-weeps! But on the same day is re-born as that conceived baby! It's so awesomely bad, it almost teeters on good-bad. Alas, not quite.
- The Tudors - Season 1: six episodes. I would've continued, but this is all I was given. I didn't expect to have much interest, as I'm not a fan of period dramas and the like, but I was pleasantly surprised. I really don't know how historically accurate it all is, but there is a lot of sex. Perhaps they had nothing better to do with their time? Lots of boobage. Lots of OTTness from Jonathan Rhys-Meyers (who is really not King material). Lots of meetings with important whatsits. Not enough Charles Brandon. Or Catherine of Aragon, whose portrayer, Maria Doyle Kennedy, I have a mature-woman crush on. I luuurve her and her fake Spanish accent. And I haaate Anne Boleyn mainly because of her usurping of Queen Catherine, but also because Natalie Dormer distracts me from the role with her slightly, dare I say, 'special' looks. And there's gross Margaret who smothered her husband, the King of Portugal, to death with a pillow and promptly got right back into bed with Brandon and all that I see whenever she's on-screen are her wrinkles, her bones and her perma-tan. I had no idea they had tanning beds back then! Then there's James Frain and I can't remember who he plays but he's kind of hot for an old guy. Oh! And the gay relationship between the guy who played Sean's older brother in Degrassi (which means he's Canadian- squee!) and the povo music boy, and disturbingly, they look like brothers. There is much to enjoy here, my friends. I eagerly await the next half of the season, whenever my distributor gets back into contact.
- Full House - Season 1: um...somewhere between five and seven episodes? Borrowed from the cousins next door because I was obviously on drugs. I actually used to love watching this in the late 80s and early 90s. I used to love Stephanie, the middle child. Who would've guessed that she'd grow up to be a meth addict whose policeman husband ditched because of her habit, and then would follow that up with becoming preggers by some guy she'd known a couple of months and would marry soon after only to divorce some months after that? And what's more, Uncle Joey was maybe, apparently, quite possibly, all sorts of wrong, because how else do you explain the fact that Dave Coulier dated Alanis Morisette while she was 14 and he was 20something? That song, You Oughta Know? Is about him, post-breakup. And he was working with those kids on the show all that time! The number of times he was holding one of the Olsen twins...oh, scandalous!
