Just like my taste in music seems to deviate from just about everybody here, so does my taste in television. I don't care one bit for anime. Instead, I watch sitcom and other comedies, such as How I Met Your Mother, Community, Two and a Half Men, Chuck, Friends, The Big Bang Theory etc. Pretty mainstream, huh?
That's sort of funny, because your music tastes are pretty much everything but mainstream. But then, that goes for most of us here. We're just, hipster in different ways. Hahaha...
I don't usually watch much TV, in all honesty. Not usually much that intrigues me, and more often I'm simply disgusted. Occasionally I'll pick up a series, or something, old or new. When I was a kid, I grew up with Looney Tunes, Tom + Jerry, and all that wonderful stuff. My older brothers and I would go to our grandparents house, where they had cable, and plop ourself down in front of the TV. It sort of confuses me, because people older than me talk about growing up with Spongebob (which I personally can't stand), yet Spongebob came after Looney Tunes. I think I just watched cartoons and stopped watching them at a younger age then most.
Now, I generally don't watch TV. No one in my family does, and our TV is used almost solely for videogames. But like I said, there is the occasional time I will find something I want to watch. A few years back, my brother got me into watch The Last Airbender series, and that captivated my attention for a while, as awesome and well written as it is. Then an empty space, where I tried watching a few classics, such as the original Pokemon, but it was so terrible and badly scripted that I quit in disgust after the seventh episode or so. I simply couldn't stand how every voice actor was
sooooo nasaly sounding. In all honest, if I could just take the Meowth scenes and watch them sequentially, it would probably be a lot better and a lot quicker than watching the entire series.
It seems like I watched something else in this space of time, but I can't remember what. I think this was probably about the time I found out about Friendship is Magic, which I was pointed to by
our very own pony thread here at the SRB2 Message Board. And I think you all know just how much this show means to me.
To the present, I've been meaning to watch Dr. Who for a while, as it seems like something that would be right up my alley, but I have yet to try it out. And, by popular request (and by popular request, I mean Whackjood), I started watching Wakfu, which is quite charming so far. I'm finished episode 12, the finale for the
boufbowl tournament, as I write this. The funny thing is, due to it being all in French, I think I'm beginning to get a feel for the language. As in, subconsciously I'm hearing French in all manner of strange and uncanny things, but I can't tangibly interpret it yet. I think I shall get a French Grammar out from the library tomorrow, as it's an incredibly good way to learn the language, both hearing it and reading how it works. I've been actively doing it with Greek. Rosetta Stone, ew. What a ripoff. Not even worth torrenting. :>
