What show are YOU watching?

[livejournal.com profile] 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, [livejournal.com profile] 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!

I feel like we were watching the same Buffy show! Especially this:

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

YES FOREVER! Spike and Buffy's relationship in s7 is my faaaaaaaavorite time for them. Private is such a good word for that time period. And ANDREW. Hilarious! I always roll my eyes a bit when people are like, HE'S GROSS! HE MURDERED HIS BEST FRIEND! WAH WAH! Uhm, duh! But it's TV, people, calm down. Embrace the HILARITY he brings!

I think we were watching a different Veronica Mars show, though. I enjoyed:

- the Veronica and Weevil Have A Lot of Chemistry! Show
- the I Adore Deputy Leo; Can He Stay Forever? Show
- the Post-Season 1 Logan Is A Giant Bore Show
- the Veronica/Logan Was Much Better Hypothetically Show
- the Piz Was The Best Part of Season 3 Show
- the I Actually LIKE Season 3 Show

For Community I watch:

- the Jeff Winger Adores Annie Edison Show
- the Troy and Abed Bromance Show
- the Pierce is HILARIOUS in His Ignorance Show
- the Senor Chang and Dean Pelton Should Be Around Always Show

For The Office:

- the I'm Over Jim/Pam and Have Been Since Season 3 Show
- the Michael Scott Is My Favorite Show
- the Dwight Scrhrute Is An Amazing Character Show
- the Ryan Should Have Dated Pam Show
- the Toby Should Have Dated Pam Show
- the I Like Roy and Karen Show

For Friday Night Lights:

- the Guaranteed To Make Me Cry At Least Once Per Episode Show
- the So What If I 'Ship Landry/Julie? They're Cute! Show
- the Tim Riggins Can Do No Wrong Show
- the Coach/Mrs. Coach Are The Best Married Couple EVER Show

Hahahah! I could keep going and GOING.

the Veronica/Logan Was Much Better Hypothetically Show

HI. I totally thought I was the only one who watched this show! *high-five*

I am also a hardcore fan of the Deputy Leo Show. I was so very, very sad when that one went away.

Not to but in, but I think EVERYONE watches (and loves!) the Troy and Abed Bromance Show. Aah, the Spanish rap. : )
