beer_good_foamy. I've actually done a very similar meme before. Let's see how my answers have changed!
Name a (current) show you can't miss:
If we're talking things that are on right now, Chuck. OMG, I did not realize how much I missed this show until it came back on (season 3 just started).
Last time, my answers included Heroes and Bones. Hilarious. The former I quit watching early in season 3, and the latter is, more often than not, trending toward annoying the fuck out of me.
Name an actor that would make you more inclined to watch a show:
There are a lot, actually. I'm pretty loyal to the actors who star in my favorite shows, so any Buffy or West Wing alum will usually get my attention.
Name an actor who would make you less likely to watch a show:
Heh, again, there's probably a lot. I didn't realize how much I hated Summer Glau until she was on Dollhouse. I'll probably never watch anything with her in it again.
Name a show you can, and do, quote from:
Still Buffy and The West Wing. When it comes to great dialogue, Whedon and Sorkin are the masters.
Name a show you like that no one else enjoys:
Being Erica, probably because it's Canadian and no one else has ever heard of it.
Name a TV show which you've been known to sing the theme song:
Psych.
Name a show you would recommend everyone to watch:
Being Erica. I'd also say Mad Men and Friday Night Lights, but they at least get critical attention, even if the audience is small.
Name a TV series you own:
Veronica Mars. (I only own three series in their entirety, and the other two are the obvious - BtVS and AtS.)
What is your favourite episode of your favourite series?
I - I - you want me to choose? I don't even know if I could narrow down a favorite series, let alone one episode.
A show you mean to watch, but you just haven't gotten around to yet:
Hee, well, I finally got around to Battlestar Galactica, but there's still plenty more in my queue. I've been meaning to watch The Wire, Dexter, and eventually, someday, I'll probably watch Lost.
Ever quit watching a show because it was so bad?
I'm assuming this means a show that was good and became bad, not just a show that sucked and I only watched one episode of it. And in that case, there are very few, because I'm a pretty loyal viewer, and it takes a lot to make me turn off a show I used to be a fan of (though Bones seems to be trying its damnedest to make the list). Most recently, Heroes managed to achieve that dubious distinction.
Name a show you aren't interested in watching, not in the least:
Supernatural.
Name a show that's made you cry multiple times:
Buffy.
Oldest TV show you like?
Well, technically, Doctor Who, but I've only ever seen the RTD seasons.
Newest TV show you like?
Community is, I think, the only new show this season that I'm still watching. Oh, and Worst Cooks in America on Food Network.
What do you eat when you watch TV?
Nothing specific. Sometimes I eat dinner while watching TV.
How often do you watch TV?
I usually watch something every night. But the shows I watch on TV seem to be concentrated on Mondays and Thursdays, so I spend the other nights catching up on the stuff I missed because I was watching something else.
Do you have a favorite talk show?
No... I don't really watch talk shows.
What's the last TV show you watched?
Worst Cooks in America.
What's your favourite/preferred genre of TV?
Dramedy.
What's your least favourite genre of TV?
Reality shows, with the exception of the cooking competition ones. I like those.
What was the first TV show you were obsessed with?
Depends on your definition of obsessed. First show I got involved in fandom and wrote fanfic for? Sliders.
What TV show do you wish you never watched?
Arrested Development. Everyone raves about it all the time, so I gave it a try. Totally not for me.
What's the weirdest show you enjoyed?
Red Dwarf.
What TV show scared you the most?
I still gotta go with Doctor Who on this one. Thanks to Steven Moffat, I am now terrified of children in gas masks. And statues. And the dark. Well, I was always afraid of the dark. Still, if this keeps up, season 5 is gonna be interesting...
What is the funniest TV show you have ever watched?
Probably Red Dwarf.
Which do you think is the best TV series ever made?
Buffy. No, The West Wing. No, Buffy. No, Mad Men. No, Buffy. Final answer.
