Moo.

I feel bad that I haven’t been watching Leverage.  I love this show but I just haven’t been catching the new episodes lately :x

I’m a bad TV fan :(

Ugh.  I really need to catch up on The Glades, Common Law, Bunheads, Breaking Bad, and Leverage…but the S1 DVDs of Babylon 5 are staring at me.

Watch us! 

I can’t help myself.  Uggle.  I have no will power.

Ugh.  Nothing that I watch is on tonight :(  Time to hit the DVDs!

Return of summer shows is continuing…

Or alternatively: Shows I recommend all the time but no one takes me seriously so here’s a list I can throw at people

Since we’re all so into TV here in this particular corner of tumblr, I thought I would make a list of the shows I grew up watching or fell in love with later on. These particular shows are ones I don’t hear about very often and I just want to share my love of them with you.

These are all mostly sci-fi, and I’ve linked the ones that can be found on Hulu. I know you most of you have a way you all get shows anyway, so I’m not too worried about it. If you do need help finding a show on here, however, I would be happy to lend a hand in finding it.

• The Pretender: About a research subject whose exceptional intelligence allows him to master virtually any profession. He uses his skill to meld into any persona and become a one-man nonviolent vigilante force for justice, despite being stalked by agents of a clandestine research complex.

• John Doe: John Doe is a mysterious man who rises from the water off an isolated island possessing knowledge of literally everything in the world, yet having no memory of who he is. Doe quickly finds his way to Seattle, where he befriends the police and uses his special gift to help them solve “impossible” crimes each week while continuing his unending quest to uncover who he is and where he came from. Doe is joined in his search by Karen, his unwitting assistant and one of his few friends. Together they work to piece together the case of a missing girl who Doe mysteriously feels may have some connection to his previous life.

• Journeyman: A reporter discovers he has the ability to jump back through time and change people’s destinies. (And then of course it ruins his home life because it isn’t exactly willingly. What? I like angst)

• The Dead Zone: The Dead Zone, a compelling dramatic series (based off the AMAZING book by Stephen King), follows the story of a young man who, after suffering a tragic car accident, awakens from a six year coma with extraordinary psychic powers. 

• The Lost Room: (one of the best mini-series I’ve seen come out of Syfy. If you can find it, please, my god, you must watch it) a 2006 science fiction television miniseries revolving around the titular room and some of the everyday items from that room which possess unusual powers. The show’s protagonist, Joe Miller, is searching for these objects to rescue his daughter, Anna, who has disappeared inside the Room. Once a typical room at a 1960s motel along U.S. Route 66, the Lost Room has existed outside of normal time and space since 1961, when what is only referred to as “the Event” took place.

• New Amsterdam:In 1642, John Amsterdam stepped in front of a sword to save the life of a Native American girl during a massacre of her tribe. The girl in turn rescued Amsterdam, weaving an ancient spell that conferred immortality upon him. Amsterdam will not age until he finds his one true love. But Amsterdam has found this to be a mixed blessing. Over the course of three centuries, he has experienced endless adventure and honed his many talents. But everyone Amsterdam meets must leave him in time. Lovers and children die while he remains young. As the exhilaration of eternal life has given way to emotional isolation, Amsterdam discovers that the blessing has become a curse.

• The Dresden Files:A Chicago-based wizard works as a private investigator. Loosley based off the book series.

• Cupid: a Chicago psychologist is given charge of a man named Trevor Hale. Hale believes he is Cupid, sent down from Mt. Olympus by Zeus to connect 100 couples without his powers, as a punishment for his arrogance. (both the original 1998 version and the 2009 remake are worth looking into)

• The 4400:  In the pilot episode, what was originally thought to be a comet deposits a group of exactly 4400 people at Highland Beach, in the Cascade Range foothills near Mount Rainier, Washington. Each of the 4400 had disappeared at various times starting from 1946^[4] in a beam of white light. None of the 4400 have aged from the time of their disappearance. Confused and disoriented, they remember nothing between the time of their disappearance and their return. (They also all have special powers and there’s a ton of X-men style politics on what to do with these people. Seriously one of my favorite shows ever. There’s a reason it’s on this list)

• Jericho:  an American action/drama series that centers on the residents of the fictional town of Jericho, Kansas, in the aftermath of nuclear attacks on 23 major cities in the contiguous United States. (Think apocalypse without the zombies).

• Alice: The miniseries is a reimagining of the classic Lewis Carroll stories Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, taking place about 150 years later with science fiction and additional fantasy elements. Alice is intended to be a modern interpretation, imagining how Wonderland might have evolved over the last 143 years.

Holy smokes, I loved all of these *tacklehug*  I didn’t think anyone had heard of/remembered the Lost Room mini!

Sometimes I almost hate having nights with little to no shows on… Then I don’t know what to do/watch and I have too huge of a backlog of movies/DVDs/TV/books to effectively decide.  I always end up wasting the night just surfing the net or reading fanfic :(

Annoyed that GCB is canceled :( :(

Why do shows always get canceled when storylines start ramping up and the show goes from really good to awesome?

Awake did it last night.  Big story-arc ramp and reveal and now it’s cancelled.  Other show I liked (but most didn’t) was Witches of Eastwick.  Suddenly every story element combined just right for a reveal of how it’s going to all go down, and bam.  Canceled.  Or what about shows that manage to finish out their seasons but get cliff-hanger-y (I’m looking at you VR5) or Tiger & Lady-esque (Terriers) or a great setup for a second season (sob, The Secret Circle) or worse yet, never solve the series’ main premise (Pushing Daisies)

*sigh* I understand it’s all about the numbers but it still makes me a sad lil TV-Addict :(

I mean.  Fairly tales are a huge weakness of mine … and then add in the fact that Robert Carlyle is Rumplestiltskin and my fangirl-ing will never cease.

Basically, we’re being attacked by Godzilla.  And to beat Godzilla, we need Mothra!  No offense.
