Oh, how can I have missed this thread??

When I manage to wrestle the tv-control from my football loving boyfriend I try to catch:
House MD
Dr Who (I'm a bit behind when it comes to episodes I think...why did he dump Martha? I really liked her o_O )
Frasier
True blood (it's on so late so I rarely get to see it)
Top gear
Midsumer murder
Waking the dead
What not to wear
Coupling

Back when they were on I used to love watching
Twin peaks
Buffy
Cold feet
ER (I can't help it....a young George Clooney... *drooling*)

Let me see...

1) Shows I'm an actual fan of:
- Doctor Who (I actually first learned about it on another Discworld forum :laugh: )
- Scrubs
- Merlin (This is an ongoing discussion in my head: on one hand, there's the bad special effects and wobbly story lines, on the other, there's the clothes and the actors. What to choose, what to choose...)

2) Shows I have watched:
- Monk
- True Blood
- Buffy
- Moonlight
- The L Word
- Skins
- Torchwood
- Pushing Daisies
- Glee
- Dead Like Me
- Being Erica
- Stargate Universe
- Most British and German Krimi's. I can sing the intro to Poirot, Der Alte and Ein Fall für Zwei by heart. This is Saturday Night entertainment where I come from... o_O

Should i hand in my man card???

It was an awesome show but it never really got a proper airing in the UK.
It was buried in the schedules of a minority channel. But i discovered it when i was on holiday in the caribbean. And the missus and i just bought the box sets when we got back.

I love Glee and I'm a man too (well, kinda, a married man).

Never got into the Gilmore Girls but I did enjoy Sex and the City and the first couple of season of Desperate Housewives.

I don't watch sports though so I'm guessing my opinions don't count on the man-front :)

In reference to supposedly "unmanly" telly shows, like Gilmore Girls, Glee, Moonlight, Gossip Girl etc, etc, etc. I'm a bloke who loves football, cricket, rugby league and boxing, revels in the films of John Woo, Quentin Tarantino, Neil Marshall, John Carpenter and John Milius and thoroughly enjoys shows like Stargate: SG1, 24, Burn Notice and Spartacus: Blood and Sand (I'm not allowed to talk on the phone for an hour after watching it, in fact, because I keep exclaiming "Jupiter's C**k!" whenever something is even mildly surprising. Not a good thing when it's the rep from credit card on the phone).

I'm also hopelessly addicted to Gossip Girl, Supernatural and actually roared at the television when in Gilmore Girls
***Spoiler *** (Highlight to read) >>> Lorelai dumped Luke and went off with Christopher
...as well as not averse to watching a well made rom-com (even on my own). Manliness is being who you are and hiding it or apologising for it. ;) Also, if you're ever laughed at by work mates or school friends for your choice in "unmanly" entertainment, remind them that while they're all talking to each other about last nights episode of Top Gear and whatever Clarkson is wittering on about this week, you're talking to a gang of women about your shows. :p

PMSL @ Jupiter's C**k. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Oh dear, oh lore!!!

I love Gilmore Girls. That Lorelai had some stonkingly goodlooking men after her.

I never thought I could fancy a guy who wears a backwards baseball cap, but................. :oops:

Kirk was an utter dream of a character, though I always had an intense desire to slap the hell out of Taylor Dosie!





Good news - Sean Murray has signed a new deal with NCIS, so the entire cast will be back next season.

Nice one Danny B. Slightly off topic, your post reminds me of when I was younger and watching the musical 'Man of la Mancha', starring Peter o'Toole and Sophia Loren, with a group of heavy metal liking bikers. I can still clearly remember the sight at the end of the film (the bit when they sing 'The Impossible Dream') of all these long haired, heavily bearded, tough looking men dressed in biking leathers and denim cut-offs crying their eyes out and passing the tissues around. :laugh: Its still one of my favourite musicals! 8)
