Friday Five
What's your favourite TV network?
I've always been a fan of and watched more of ABC, going as far back at Saturday Morning cartoons of the 1980s (with the exclusion of watching Smurfs on NBC from 6am-8am)
If you could create your own channel, what would it be?
haha I would be the only one who would watch...oh and probably my sister too...ooo and Kristen would watch it sometimes I bet. The Bethany Channel would show the following: episodes of DS9, musicals, nature shows, and old school cartoons like She-Ra, He-Man, and Thundercats...and A&E Biography...and How It's Made...and Documentaries would be shown in the middle of the night at like 3am. Oh, and reruns of Friends and King of the Hill would also be lovely.
What TV show did you watch as a child, that you wish they would bring back?
oh my god pretty much everything...tons of cartoons like the aforementioned She-Ra, He-Man, and Thundercats, as well as Tiny Toons and Animaniacs and Freakazoid. Hmmm also Strawberry Shortcake, Rainbow Brite, Smurfs, deeeer...My Little Pony, Glo Friends, oooo ooooooooooo Flinstone Kids and a Pup Named Scooby Doo and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Jem and the Holograms! GI Joe, Transformers, Pound Puppies! oh oh and the NKOTB cartoon...Barbie and the Rockers, Little Clowns of Happy Town, and the list goes on. I don't really want them to come back as new shows but I wish all of them would be on DVD...that would make me happy and likely cry. Well some already are but I only have The Best of She-Ra so far. I am poor and behind on my TV on DVD collection. My top faves are available on DVD but I am really really hoping for Strawberry Shortcake because we have them on 20+ year old VHS tapes that I watched a million times and then my sister watched a million times.
What show have you always hated, and wonder why they ever made such a dumb show?
Everybody Loves Raymond and Sex and the City. I do not love Raymond and don't think watching people yell at each other and fight all the time is entertaining. This is why I also did not enjoy the movie The Breakup. And Sex and the City...the women are soooo annoying I want to throw things, but I still watch the reruns if it's on still trying to understand the appeal.
What TV show's seasons would you buy on DVD?
I already own the following: Grey's Anatomy 1-3, Smallville 1-4 (after that it got confusing and too dumb), DS9 1, 5, and I think 6; She Ra best of, Friends 1&2, aaaand I have downloaded Veronica Mars 1-3 aka all. I would LOVE to have ALL of DS9, all of Quantum Leap, Heroes, Lost, Tiny Toons, Animaniacs, He-Man, King of the Hill, Friends 3-hmmm around 8 I think, Ugly Betty season 1, Pushing Daisies Season 1 (which I'm hoping will come out in true ABC fashion), Wonderfalls, and yes I am a TV on DVD whore it seems haha.
