lirazel | What show are YOU watching?

gabrielleabelle just posted a really lovely post on fandom eyeware and the way we're all watching different shows. It's awesome, and you should all read it.

In said post,

elisi linked to this really awesome article about how we're not all watching the same show. You should all read this one, too, because the rest of this post will not make sense without it.

A lot of her names for the shows are hilariously awesome, and it inspired me. To share with you some of the shows that I've watched.

For instance, I'm always watching this show called the Buffy Summers Is the Coolest Person In the History of the Universe—Especially in the Later Seasons—Show and I'm also always watching the Spike Owns My Soul, So What Does He Need One of His Own For? Show. In earlier seasons, I watched the Oz Is Existentially Awesome Show and/or the Cordelia Chase Thinks It and Says It Show or the Giles is British-er Than You Show. I was also really fond of the Spike and Dawn Are Outcasts of the Universe Together Show, but that one got canceled. Thankfully, the Girls Kick Ass--Sometimes with Rocket Launchers!--Show stuck around. S7 is not only the Buffy and Spike’s Private, Beautiful Love Show but also the Andrew Wells Makes Me Laugh So Hard My Sides Ache Show and the Dawn Summers Is Cooler Than You Show.

And, of course, whenever I watch any Joss show, I'm also always watching both the the Witty Banter and Punny Quip Show and the 1000 Ways to Fail at Racial Sensitivity Show.

There was this other show I watched that was called the Veronica Mars is Smarter Than You Show (obviously), but also went by a lot of other names:

- the Logan Echolls: Snarking His Way into Television History Show (thanks, Joss!)
- the The Papa Mars Is a Badass and Should Say ‘Who’s Your Daddy?’ Every Episode Show
- the Wallace Fennel Proves He Is the Greatest BFF Ever—Again! Show
- the Kendall and Cassidy Take Over the World Show (I think I may be the only one watching this one)
- the Every Line Is Quotable Show

So. Ask me about other shows-within-shows that I watched! Tell me which shows you were watching! Let's turn this into a thing! Don't leave me hanging! I'm excited!

We were watching very, very different shows, clearly! But yours seems to be the only one that ever makes it into articles. I'm always confused by any time I see some blogger or whatever writing about the show, people act like the later seasons don't exist. And I'm like, "BUT BUT SYMBOLISM! CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT! NUUUUUUAAAAAANCE!" And no one listens. *sigh*

I guess you are the right one, though. And I am clearly wrong. [ETA] I just realized that sounded like I was bitching at you, but I would never, ever, ever bitch at you because I love you so! That was a universal bitch, which does not apply to you at all, wonderful person!

Hee! The "Thank You For Existin" and "Best Cast Ever" shows are my faaaaaaavorite! And the "Invisible Chinese People" show makes me want to cry.

I also was quite fond of the OMG A Couple In a Stable Relationship!!! Show and the Jayne Cobb Is Funnier Than You Show. And the Ooooh! Pretty! Show. Among other things.

The I Love Logan But I Refuse To Woobify Him Show and The Actually, Veronica Is Even Cooler When She Doesn't Have Boy Drama Going On (Pity That Takes Up So Much of Her Time) Show and The Daddy Mars Is The Best Show.
I agree with all of these!

And hey! Why don't you go on forever?

I guess you are the right one, though. And I am clearly wrong.

You're not wrong! That's why opinions exist, and they are beautiful. It's equally possible that I am a sheep and you are a progressive rebel. (See? Different eyeware!)

Oh, I loved the Stable Relationship show. I always found it baffling that some people thought it was the Troubled Marriage show, but hey, that's how it works. ;)

Hee! I can't go on forever, I have a paper to write! *flail*

Lol, I was watching the I Can't Believe Jayne Cobb is My Favourite Character, WTF? show.

Also, I have just been reading your Skins ones upthread, and now I must list my own shows I watch for that as well:

-The Sid Is The Twin of My Soul Show
- The Oh Man I Want To Wrap Cassie In A Blanket And Fix All Her Troubles Show
- The Hell Yeah Jal's Snark Is The Best Kind Of Snark Show
- The Dammit Tony I ~~Hate~~ ~~Love~~ HATE You Show
- The Effy Owns My Soul Show
- The Maxxie Oliver Is A Star Show
- The Michelle, Dollface, Why Do You Put Up With Mr. Stonem's Douchebaggery So Often Show
- The CHRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSS Show
