Woo.. Television.. aka Mugsy and Ari are old and the rest of you are probably young and watch things I've never heard of.. ps. Avatar is a movie you crazy kids
Because Muggs is old she will colour code her favs,
Green is fine for everyone,
Orange is PG/M rated,
Red is Adults only k.. no blaming me for ruining innocent minds now eh?
Anyway my absolute favourite TV show of all time is
Rage which sadly is a Australian exclusive that I shall now try and explain to you poor things who have never had it.
Youknow MTV right? Well in Australia we don't really have much cable TV so instead looong before MTV we had Rage. Now okay lets try to imagine if MTV it was free for everyone with no ads and interruptions.. actually no host either except on Saturday when muso's would be sitting on a couch telling stories and picking their favourite songs to play the whole night, it ran only on weekends late at night and of a early morning and could play anything from brand new songs to super old things and lots of weirdness in between. Now imagine sitting on the couch with your mates and some late night popcorn and pizza to discover a whole heap of music you've never heard..both new and old while suffering major sleep deprivation to see what song would be on next as you tried to stay up all night.
That's rage!
My other fave is
Good Game/
Spawn Point which is kind of like a movie review program for video games.. you can watch it on Youtube these days too
There's also
Russell Coight's All Aussie Adventure (which is a parody of
The Bush Tucker Man who was a childhood hero of mine.. also a useful show if you want to survive in The Hunger Games too
), oh and talking of kids shows
The Jeanie From Downunder and
The Ferals are both awesome.. abet kinda old now..but you can probably still find them on youtube. While you're there go hunt down
Round The Twist which was a brilliant series based on Paul Jennings' novels,
The Jeanie from Downunder (love this series!)
Umm for other TV I love Scifi stuff so
Battlestar Galatica (obviously),
Firefly,
Stargate for lols,
The X-Files and
Heros. I also grew up on
Doctor Who and loved
Torchwood.
Drama like
Sherlock (by the same folks as Doctor Who),
House,
Life on Mars (UK) and
Game of Thrones.. though it's also kind of annoying and very gory/nasty so adults only I'm afraid. We get a heap of BBC series's here so I tend to watch that. I also quite liked
Once Upon A Time for being rather clever.
For Lols I like
Monty Python's Flying Circus (a little bit naughty),
Daria,
The IT Crowd (UK again),
The Office (UK only thnx),
The Chaser/The Checkout (Aussie and very naughty) and
Blackadder (UK). I also love the original Australian
Wilfred,
The Colbert Report, and of course there's
Top Gear UK which is a very silly car show.
Finally I loove anything with
David Attenborough invoved.. because he is totally amazing and will blow your mind, same with
Bryan Cox talking about space. I really like
Grand Design which is a BBC show about people building their dream homes in odd ways because the host's voice is like super soothing after a long day at work and
From The Basement.. which is another music show.
