Friday Five:
They’re all TV-oriented this week, which sucks since I’m slightly out of the American TV loop.
1. What’s your favorite TV show and why?
I’d say Buffy, but we’re waiting for the Season 4 DVDs so I’m all out of sync. Currently then I’d have to say it’s a tie between Six Feet Under and Big Brother. SFU is easy to understand; it’s just a good show. (And Peter Krause is damn hot.) Big Bro is a more embarrassing pleasure. The Australian version is the best I’ve seen yet! They’ve only been in there for twelve days and we’ve already got two couples going (each of which involves boy/girlfriends on the outside). And every Thursday we get Big Brother Uncut, where they show all the curse words, drunkenness, and full-front nudity. I swear to God, on actual network television. The first Uncut featured all of the housemates showering nude (including the fitness instructor that I hate shaving her bikini area – *shudder!*) as well as a drunken lesbian kissing session during a game of Truth or Dare. Don’t you wish the American version was as good? 🙂
2. Who is your favorite television star?
Buffy. SMG rocks. (But Peter Krause runs a close second.)
3. What was your favorite TV show as a child?
I didn’t really have a favorite. I’d watch anything and everything. I especially liked The Hogan Family, Cheers, and ALF. (Yeah, laugh it up.)
4. What show do you think should have been cancelled by now?
Ally McBeal. Oh wait, my bad. 🙂
5. What new show do you hope escapes the axe this season?
Though I haven’t seen a single episode, I’ve been reading and loving TWOP‘s recaps of Undeclared. I want it to stay on the air just so I have a chance of seeing it someday.

Good for you for getting Undeclared w/o even seeing it. It’s hysterical. I do hope it gets another chance…I’ll make a tape for you. 😉

Sweet. And the chick that recaps it is from Notre Dame, so she keeps dropping references throughout each one. She even makes up nicknames for people that refer to Domers I know. It’s pretty cool.
