I was tagged by Leslie, Jamsu, and Siobhan to do the television tag! I don’t watch a ton of TV anymore, but I’m still really excited to do this one.
Favorite shows?
I’m at least a season behind on all of these shows that are still running, but still! My favorites!
- The Good Place
- Bob’s Burgers
- Riverdale
- Veronica Mars
- New Girl
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer
- One Day at a Time
- Crazy Ex Girlfriend
- Freaks and Geeks
- Fresh Off the Boat
- Community
- Masterchef (& Masterchef Junior)
Favorite genre?
As you can probably tell from my list of favorite shows, I really like sitcoms.
Least favorite show?
Like Leslie and Jamsu, I have a really hard time getting into reality TV.
Most re-watched show/favorite show to binge watch?
Maybe Bob’s Burgers? The episodes never get old. Same with Community.
Do you prefer watching things week-by-week or binge-watching?
I prefer binge-watching just because I can decide how much I want to watch at a time. If I get really into a show (like One Day at a Time) I’ll just watch the whole season in one sitting. That doesn’t happen very often though.
Favorite television characters?
- literally anybody from The Good Place
- Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer
- Tina from Bob’s Burgers
- Troy and Abed from Community
- Jughead from Riverdale
- Jessica from Fresh Off the Boat
- probably more but I’m kind of drawing a blank right now
Favorite television ships?
- Betty and Jughead from Riverdale
- Tina and Jimmy Jr. from Bob’s Burgers
- Nick and Jess from New Girl
Show you could never get into?
Everybody I work with is obsessed with The Vampire Diaries and I just never cared about it.
Show you fell out of love with?
- Orange is the New Black
- Stranger Things
Cancelled too soon?
- Freaks and Geeks! I would have loved to see what happened to the characters if it had even gotten one more season.
- Selfie! This show was so great and I loved all of the characters and I’m so sad that it was just abruptly cancelled.
- I also have to agree with Jamsu on Dollhouse! I loved that show!
- Pushing Daisies! Such a great show!
Guilty pleasure show?
Just like I don’t believe in guilty pleasure books, I don’t really believe in guilty pleasure shows.
What are you currently watching?
Nothing! Sorry I’m so boring!
It seems like a lot of people have already done this tag, so I’m not going to tag anyone in particular. If you want to do it, though, please consider yourself tagged and link back to this post so I can see your answers! What’s your all-time favorite show? What’s your favorite ship? Let’s talk in the comments!

Big bang theory is the only must watch for me. I watch a couple others, but I have cut out most shows. I only allow myself to watch TV when working. I think it makes the brain much happier to avoid TV as much as possible…most of the time.

I haven’t watched BBT in years, but I used to watch it all the time! I haven’t watched much TV over the last few months. Usually only when I’m at someone else’s house.

I love that VM and BTVS are in your fav. shows list! I don’t like Veronica Mars as much as I used to but it’s still close to my heart.
Selfie! I remember binge watching that. I remembered the main character from Doctor Who and I just loved how different her role was in Selfie. It’s a shame it never got season 2.

Yes! The whole reason I started watching Selfie was because of Karen Gillan! I loved that show SO MUCH and I shipped Eliza and Henry so much too.

I love your list! I just found out that they cancelled One Day At A Time last night, and I am heartbroken. It’s one of my favorites for SO many reasons, but also because there’s Nonbinary rep in there, and seeing myself on television was so wonderful while it lasted. I hope it gets picks up by NBC or another network soon. It deserves better…..
Also, BBC Merlin is probably my absolutely favorite show, along with Avatar The Last Airbender, But there’s also, The Bold Type, Manifest, ODAAT, The Dragon Prince, and She-Ra: Princesses of Power. Timeless is another, but I haven’t finished it yet so I left it off, but I adore it so much.
As for my favorite ship, it has to be Merlin X Arthur from BBC Merlin. Also, Syd and Elena from ODAAT. There are others, but those make my heart happy. Lol.

I know! I’m so sad that ODAAT was cancelled! It was such a wonderful show with great representation, and on top that, it was just so funny. I hope another network will pick it up too.
I totally forgot about Merlin, but I loved that show! I also really loved The Bold Type, but I only watched the first season. (I need to get caught up with that one too.)

I really like “The Good Place” and “Freaks and Geeks” too- I was really disappointed when “Freaks and Geeks” just left me hanging wondering what was going to happen to everyone in it. It wasn’t as infuriating a cancelation as “Firefly,” but it still pretty bad. I haven’t watched a lot of the shows you’ve mentioned but I’ve heard really good things about many of them. 🙂

I was pretty young when Freaks and Geeks first aired, but I remember watching it with my mom and being really sad when it ended! I’ve rewatched it as an adult a few times and I still wish we had gotten a real ending.

I hardly ever watch sitcoms, although The Good Place is one I have spent some time with. I love cop dramas — Blue Bloods is my favorite — and Masterpiece Theatre. Maybe it’s generational.

I’m so sad that they cancelled One Day at a Time! I mean… they are cancelling a lot of their shows lately. Come on, Netflix! I can’t wait to watch the newest season of Crazy, Ex-Girlfriend! I have to wait for it to release on Netflix, since I don’t get the CW. I’m sad it will be the last season!

Yeah, same. I don’t have cable upstairs… so the last few months it’s been Netflix and Hulu only! I need some more shows. I hope they don’t cancel many others that I love!
