[color=#000000ost_uid0]Home Improvement, Wheel of Fortune, erm, I thought there was at least one other... :S ...I guess the news in general, and I'd catch SportsCenter if I could, well, [iost_uid0]catch[/iost_uid0] it...Jeopardy!, I dunno what else, but not much more than that...


[bost_uid0](Edit)[/bost_uid0] Oh, of course! I also like The Red Green Show and Keeping Up Appearances.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Non sci-fi? Let's see, almost any hospital series. Yes, that about sums it up. ER, Strong Medicin, Scrubs, and Trauma 24/7.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]To tell the truth, I don't watch TV anymore, so that's a moot question. I used to watch reality TV and game shows. The only non scifi I used to watch was La Femme Nikita, which I'm not even sure is outside the scifi genre.

Of course, I used to watch local sitcoms and Chinese mythological dramas, but that was a long time ago. Years and years.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0][iost_uid0]Keeping Up Appearances[/iost_uid0] is cool, but it's rarely on. As is [iost_uid0]'Allo 'Allo[/iost_uid0], [iost_uid0]Dads Army[/iost_uid0], and [iost_uid0]Yes, Minister[/iost_uid0] (but thankfully I have the first two seried of that on DVD anyway).[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Letterman and [iost_uid0]Jeopardy![/iost_uid0] are the only major-network shows I catch regularly, although [iost_uid0]Joan of Arcadia[/iost_uid0] may join that list; we'll see.

Besides those, mostly PBS programs like [iost_uid0]NOVA, Nature,[/iost_uid0] and others dealing with science and history. Also, the [iost_uid0]Mrs. Bradley[/iost_uid0] (Diana Rigg) mysteries, lately.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]New question: Which SF series do you think has the best-sounding episode names?

For me it has to be [iost_uid0]Doctor Who[/iost_uid0]. With names like "The Talons of Weng-Chiang" and "The Ambassadors of Death", I think it can't be beaten.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Amongst the fandoms I know, I like Farscape ep titles the best because they're just so... whacked out. How can you go wrong with eps like "Crackers Don't Matter"?

I'm also extremely fond of B5 episode names, but they're more on the serious side, with a tad too many literary references thrown in ("The Deconstruction of Falling Stars"? "Falling Towards Apotheosis"?).

Voyager, on the other hand, gets the cake for [iost_uid0]dumbest[/iost_uid0] episode titles ever. Names like "The Thaw" and "Demon" just make me cringe. Gaah![/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I like TOS and Farscape titles.


Next question: Do you like your winters snowy? [iost_uid0]Would[/iost_uid0] you like your winters snowy?[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Either snowy or freezing hard for a long time. Not both, but one of them would be nice.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I've never actually seen real, natural snow. Is it good? Is it any different to the fake snow they have at indoor skiing?[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I missed the snow thing. Snow is fine as long as I don't have to shovel it. However, once I get to Ottawa (25 days), I suspect I'll have more snow than I'll ever want.

For our tropical posters...I've seen fake snow at the Swiss indoor skihill at Expo 88. That's nothing like real snow. Real snow comes in many varieties, but none of them are like that.

As for today's topic...it's pop.[/colorost_uid0]
