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!

Community?

OMG! We were watching the EXACT SAME SHOW!!!

...but you knew that. :)

Kendall and Cassidy Take Over the World Show
Ffff, I'm convinced they're taking over the afterlife ;)

For me, Smallville? Is CHLOE!Ville. I waded through way too much fail for that girl!crush and I am still prepared to do so *hangs head*

Skins is the Magnificent Bastard Rehab show, yes? What else?

And I spent ten years reading Ron and Hermione and the UST of Epic

I was watching the Veronica Mars is Smarter Than You Show, too along with theMac Rocks Show and Logan Echolls' Smirk is a Thing of Beauty Show!

Right now I'm watching the Castiel's Deadpan Delivery Never Gets Old Show and the Sam Has No Sense of Humor Show.

What other shows are you watching? I'm afraid I can't think of anything witty about Friday Night Lights for Gilmore Girls, but I bet we are and were watching the same shows.

Well I was absolutely watching the same Buffy and Veronica Mars shows as you (with lots and lots of Cassidy Casablancas May Be A Villain But He's Still More Awesome Than Anyone Ever Show).

Oh, and I totally agree with your Community ones, too.

Ok, I'm watching:

- the Sam Who? It's All About Cas and Dean These Days! Show
- the Castiel Is The Best Thing About This Show and Possibly TV In General Show

- the Who Gives A Damn About Eric and Donna, It's All About Jackie and Hyde! Show
- the Kelso and Fez Are The Best (Mostly) Heterosexual Life-mates Ever! Show
- the Jackie Burkhart Can Be As Much Of A Bitch As She Wants, She's Still Cooler Than You Show

- the Every Time I Start To Like A Character I'm Reminded They're Kind Of Evil...and Then I Figure 'What The Hell' and Like Them Anyway! Show
- the Paul Ballard's Obsession With Caroline Is Just Creepy Show
- the Echo Is Was Too Good For A Creeper Like Paul Ballard Show
- the Victor and Sierra Are The Most Adorable In The History Of Ever Show
- the I Ship Topher/Claire So, So Hard Show
- the But I Also Ship Topher/Bennett Because How Could I Not? Show
- the Topher Brink Could Totally Take Over The World and I'd Swoon Whilst He Did It Show
- the DeWitt and Dominic Have So Much Sexual Tension - It's Awesome Show
- the Oh Look, Joss Broke My Heart Again Show
- the I Really Want To Read/Write Topher Brink/Fred Burkle Fic Show

Haha, this is so much fun! I could think of a bunch of others, but I know you watch these :D

Ohhhh Smallville. I endured it for three seasons and then gave up. But I sometimes couldn't resist and kept catching random episodes just for Chloe.

She should go meet up with Sam and Dean and teach them a few things in the Put the Winchesters in Crossovers and Have Them Learn a Few Things about Strong Women Show.

YESSSS on Skins, especially the last one! I never thought about the hierarchy thing before, but it’s absolutely true. Everyone loves each other and would probably burst out laughing if you brought up teen hierarchy around them.

-the I Will Kidnap the Main Characters and Call them Squishy and They Shall be Mine Show
-the What Other Shows Pull off in One Season, We Can Pull off in One Episode! Show
-the I Melt Whenever Anybody Hugs Anybody Show
-the Maxxie’s Megawatt Smile Makes the Sun Look Like a Black Hole Show
- sadly, in S2, I also had to watch the Argh, Give Anwar an Episode so I Understand Why He’s So Desperate Show :/
-theMichelle and Cassie and Sid Screwed Up Bad; Why Do I Still Love Them So Hard? Show
-the Effy’s Facial Expressions are Way Better than Her Dialogue Show
-the Chris/Jal: Fastest Case of OTP-worthy Ever Show
-the Thank You, Bus, For Hitting Tony Show

The Chronicles of Edmund are a favorite read of mine...

See, now, I'm personally a much more regular watcher of The Buffy Is At Her Awesomest In the High School Years Show, and the The Evil Spike Is My Favorite Flavor Show (which, when I am feeling cynical, is called The Spike's Character Peaked In Season Two Show.) I am also a big fan of The Buffy + Angel Are Soul Mates Forever Even If They Move On To Other People Show and The Xander&Willow Are the Original BFF OTP Show.

When it comes to Firefly, we all know I am a fan of The River Tam Is Cooler Than Absolutely Everybody Else Show and The Thank You For Existing, Malcolm Reynolds Show and The Saffron Should Have Been in More Episodes Show and The This Is Basically the Best Cast Ever Show and The But Why Are The Chinese People Invisible Show. (well, the last one I am not exactly a fan of, but I do end up watching it a lot. I feel it's something I should do.)

As for VM, I am a frequent watcher of The Veronica/Weevil Is Wildly Underrated Show and 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 want to keep going into forever somebody stop meeee)

Kendall and Cassidy Take Over the World Show

I watched this one for a while! But then I got distracted by the Dick's Pain Is Deep And Gift-Wrapped In Evil Show and the Sheriff Lamb's Traumatic Past Will Never Be Explained, Will It? Show and finally the I Really Kinda Miss Weevil Show.

Right now I'm watching the Tim Riggins Grows Up To Be A Wonderful Person Show. It's also often the Tami Taylor Knows Everyting Ever Show and the Landry Clarke Has Ruined Me For Other Men Show.

I also watch the Angel & Demon Sandwich With Emo Bread Show, but that one's getting really old. I miss when it was the Stinky Brothers Kill Monsters And Scam Credit Cards Show.

Oh, and I own all the DVDs of the Emily Gilmore Wins At Life Show, which is also sometimes the Dean Somehow Gets Dumber And Dumber Show, as well as being the Lorelai Makes Mistakes (But I Love Her For It) Show, and the Every Band Mentioned On This Show Is Great And You Will Love Them! Show, for which I am eternally grateful.

I spent several hours this past weekend watching the Former Castmembers From Veronica Mars Are Awesome And Swear Profusely Show, which I highly recommend, although I have to download it because I don't get Starz.

I was thinking of doing this on my LJ when I read that article this morning. I still might!

LOL! When it comes to Buffy, i think we're watching the same show.I would add ,though that i am watching an expanded version of your Buffy and Spike’s Private, Beautiful Love Show.Its's the Buffy and Spike are so meant for each other and they need to be together, as kids shout,FOREVAH! Show.

Oh, God, how much i love it.

1000 Ways to Fail at Racial Sensitivity Show.

This isn't an issue that's really made itself noticeable to me. Any chance you could just cite an example or two for my brain to ponder?

Some of my shows:

VM: Why Doesn't Weevil Get More Screentime? Show, The Keith Mars is the Best Dad Ever Show, The Duncan Is Not Worth It Show
Firefly: The Most Beautiful People Ever Show, The Why Can't We See More Zoe/Wash Private Time Show, The Zoe Says, Man Up! Show
Dollhouse: The Topher Makes Me Cry Show, The November is So Very Pretty Show, The Agent Ballard, I Love You But Get Over Your Crush Show
Supernatural: The Dean Makes Fun of Everyone Show , The Dean Wants Pie Show, The Sam Needs To Stop Being Crazy and Evil and Lame Show, The Can We Occasionally Have A Kickass Woman That Doesn't Die Show

I started a comment and it turned into a post. ;)

Let's see. Tonight I'll be watching My Brain Hurts And I Love It Show, also known as the I Heart Sawyer Platonically or Not!Platonically Show the I Giggle Whenever Jack Cries And Is Full Of Self-Loathing Show, the Hurley Rocks And If You Kill Him I'll Cry Show, the I Miss Juliet Already Show, and the Ben Linus Is A Brilliantly Sneaky, Evil Bastard Who Could Teach Angelus A Few Things About Manipulation But I Still Want Him To Be Redeemed Show.

I loved the OMG! Starbuck Is Just Like Spike! Show, and I'm curious about the Yay! Spike Is Back In My TV With Jane Controlling Him Even If I Have To Wade Through Obscure Theology Metaphors To Get To Him! Show.

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.

How about The 1960s Is Glamorous Yet Fucked Up Show?

Kendall and Cassidy Take Over the World Show

No, I enjoyed this show also ;)

And yeah, I think we're pretty much watching the same shows.

Although, I gotta say, the Chloe worship in Smallville fandom constantly boggles my mind. (It's more like the Chloe Needs to Get Over Her Clark Hero Worship Already And Then I Might Respect Her show for me.) I'm much more inclined to watch the Lex Luthor is a Bad-Ass MoFo, Respect It Show, the Lana Lang Is Secretly Also A Bad-Ass MoFo Show, or the Lois Lane Pwns You Show.

I'm in the middle of rewatching The Loneliest Man in the Universe Losing the Things He Tries to Hold Onto and Routinely Ripping My Heart Out and The Doctor and Donna Are My Platonic Old Married Couple, and also Oh My God the Master is Terrifying and Can We Have More of Him Please?.

Skins was my Chris Miles is my Favorite and I Am Actually a Little Stressed Out over the Well-being of these Fictional, Hardpartying Children but is now more like Damn New Cast, Get Off My Lawn.

Also this post is kind of amazing.

I was watching "Leave it to Beaver and Mac in Europe" show for a while...or maybe that's just the spinoff I wanted. Before, you know, certain plot points. Also the Logan Echolls: Snarking His Way into Television History Show is PERFECT.

Let's see, what else...during season 3 VM I was watching the "This will get better at some point, right?" show, which actually I probably watch more than I should... though, honestly, the Veronica Mars is Smarter Than You Show tends to really sum it all up.

But is VM more quotable than Buffy? Really? : P

also i can't believe you found that icon! it's so ooold! : )
