30 Days of TV, Part 4/6

Day 16 - Your guilty pleasure show

Nothing!
   I'm pretty sure that by now you should realize I don't really have guilty pleasures. I'm pretty upfront about stuff I love, regardless of whether other people do too. If not, well, there you have it.



Day 17 - Favorite mini series
  Bomb Girls was originally intended to be one, so does that count? If so, please see my love letter to Bomb Girls.



Day 18 - Favorite title sequence
   Another toss up. I love Charmed's theme music and frequently love their opening credits (some years were/are better than others) but then they lost the rights to How Soon Is Now and we do not speak of what they did to get around that.

   I adore Psych's because they alter it to suit the episode quite frequently. And I am geeky enough to get a serious kick out of that. :p



Day 19 - Best t.v show cast

*insert she slays me comment here*
   Toss up between Golden Girls and Designing Women with Suzanne and Charlene.

Forever 'pressed that DW isn't as worthy of tumblr love.


Day 20 - Favorite kiss

Piper has a thing for dead men.
   Not an actual kiss, but Piper/Mark during S1: Dead Man Dating. I cried so hard, you don't even... I can't watch this episode without tearing up, okay?

Dude! I totally picked Psych as my favorite intro too!! (Yes, I already pre-plotted out all my answers.) I suppose technically that means I don't really have to do one post a day since I've got them all figured out...but on the other hand the point of these things is to keep us blogging about stuff. Hmmmm.

And I'm totally with you on the Piper/Mark kiss. SO SAD. For the most part I do ship Piper/Leo (though I don't like when things get strained between them later on and Leo becomes an elder and things just got really weird there.) At least I think things got weird. Like you I'm due for a rewatch of the older seasons that I don't remember nearly as well. But I think I'm right.

I have to pre-do most of the answers otherwise I tend to make it halfway and say "nope, too hard. Next!"

Piper/Leo got weird after they got married, it's true. Part of it was the weirdness of Brian and Alyssa dating (S4!) and part of it was that TV thing where a certain showrunner decided that married = boring so they kept shaking things up. In the most over the top insane ways possible, ignoring the fact that I doubt many people were like "YES. FINALLY." to a lot of their choices. I think they just had no idea what they wanted to do with Leo and basically threw everything at the wall to see what stuck and um, none. None of it stuck.

I do love Piper/Leo, though. So cute!

GGs!! :D Designing Women!! :D I think GGs are a bit more universal, whereas really getting what makes Designing Women so fucking awesome sorta depends on soaking in southern culture. Yes, Julia is a badass (and so is Suzanne, in her own way), but their characters are elevated to the max when you realize what they're coming out of. IDK, it's the only show that could ever make me feel proud of southern culture, LOL.

The first couple of seasons, at least. After Charlene had Olivia it kinda went downhill...

I'm do for a DW re-watch one of these months. I don't remember a ton of the show after Olivia was born before Charlene and Suzanne went buh-bye but I'll agree that Livia was probably about the time the show just went over the shark.

And I'll also agree with your reasoning as to why GG gets all the love and thus the universe only has just enough room to stan for one Julia scene. (I swear, 90% of the stuff in the tumblr tag is either that one scene or posts about how everything in the tag is that one scene.) One day this will be remedied. Til then, the south will decline for another year to rise again.
