Try It - You'll Like It!

[captain_slinky]

Everyody has at least a few non-serious diversions that they wish more people would check out. Maybe it's a favorite TV show, a movie, a particula and or CD, maybe a book? Things that make you say "DAMN I wish more people were in to this so it would be more popular and I would have more people to talk aout it with!"

Well here's you chance!

Make a list of 5 non-serious things that you wish more people were in to and post it in your Journal (or, alternately, just post it in the comments below). I promise to give at least one thing on your list a try and let you know what i think of it!

Now remember, I said NON-SERIOUS. Suggestions of "Exercise", "Diet", "The Lord" and the likes will be completely ignored. Here's the list of stuff I wish *you* were in to, so you have some point of reference:

(1) HBO's "Carnivale"
(2) The comic book "The Walking Dead"
(3) WB TV Series "Gilmore Girls"
(4) FOX TV Series "Space: Above & Beyond"
(5) Robert Aspirin's "Myth Adventures" series of books

Of course, if you're already in to any of the items I've listed, feel free to comment and let me know! As far as I know, there's only maye two or three people on my Friends List that dig that stuff.

I snubbed "Gilmore Girls" for the longest of times...but now I may have finally seen what's so attractive about the show. (And personally, that's just Alexis Bledel to me. Hem.)

What do you enjoy about it?

"What do you enjoy about it?"

What is there *not* to enjoy about it? It is smart, funny and full of pretty, pretty people!

I think that prospect was what originally turned me off about it. :> I'm starting to love Alexis Bledel though, so I think I'm gonna try and catch an episode or two when I can.

Seasons 1 through 4 are available on DVD for unde $20 a season! Buy several and give them to friends!

I agree... shows featuring "Pretty people" usually turn me off big-time. I never gave ANY of those shows chances! 9021, Melrose Place, Dawson's Creek, Felicity... why should I care? "Oh, life is so hard for a person as pretty and rich as me... woe is meeeeeeee".

I also just thought of another reason I REALLY love Gilmore Girls, though... I truly identify with one of the main characters, "Luke". I *am* Luke!

Intellectually I enjoy that a slew of my favorite comedic writers (including Family Guy's creator Seth McFarlane) are regular contributors to the show, keeping it fresh, fast and funny all the time.

my Manly side enjoys watching hot chicks in tight clothes say funny things.

And the 12-year-old girl in me thrives on the drama and still has a crush on Dean even if he IS off doing his Ghostuster thing or whatever :)

LOL! Fair enough. I'll go check it out. :D
