Doctor Who is my past show. I still love it, but not as of late.

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

A lot of people on my flist have had issues with DW under Moffat definitely, I'm wondering if perhaps more fans might return when there's a new show runner though

[icequeen3101.livejournal.com]

I used to watch Doctor Who, Vampire Diaries and Big Bang Theory.
But not anymore, which is why I didn't pick those.

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

A lot of my friends seem to have dropped those shows, I hardly ever see posts about The Vampire Diaries especially any more :(

I didn't tick TVD because I stopped watching it last year, I didn't tick X-Files because I stopped watching it at some unknown point (~5 seasons in) and I didn't tick SPN, Nikita and Smallville because I've only seen 1 season (2 for SV).

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

I did debate whether I should put X-Files under old favourites or currently airing shows actually, but I figured it counts as currently airing as there's a good possibility of getting another mini-series at some point. But honestly I never finished the original series either, although I do hope up with it all at some point!

And it really is worth catching up with the rest of Nikita when you have time btw, love that show! :D

[bogwitch.livejournal.com]

I ticked iZombie, though I am a long way off being up to date with it.

Poor TVD. It gets no love.

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

I have been a bit underwhelmed this season tbh, but still I think it's a shame how online fandom has turned on it and decided that it's just terrible in every way, and this has been going on since seasons 3 pretty much. I assumed it was a show that almost everyone in fandom had dropped by now, so I'm actually quite surprised that there's more than a few people still watching

[batmarg.livejournal.com]

I'm a good deal behind on some of these. And I've mostly given up on newer supernatural. I was a dedicated viewer through season 8.

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

I'm caught up with SPN up to season 9 and plan to see the rest at some point, but I must admit that it's not really a must-watch for me any more. It's not even an issue of quality I don't think, it's more that I just felt like it was running out of things to say. It felt like every season was circling around similar issues with the brothers trust issues, Crowley, the Angels etc, it started to get old.

It's a shame because season 4 was such a breath of fresh air at the time when it introduced that mythology, but after a certain number of years it just gets hard to still stay invested in that same stuff I suppose, unless the writers are doing something to drastically change the status quo

[malicat.livejournal.com]

You have a lot of Supernatural fans on your flist,wow o_O I don't even remember when I stopped watching that one,it feels like 20 years ago or something lol

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

Lol I have been surprised with some of the results, it feels like some of the apparently most-watched shows really aren't reflected in how much discussion of them I see on my flist, or how many comments I get when I talk about those shows. I never realised how many fans of Gilmore Girls and Queer As Folk I had friended for one, although I suppose it's harder to tell in the case of past shows, just because no one is talking about them much anyway.

And I'm not really caught up on SPN these days, but definitely there are always quite a few people talking about it on my flist (ditto Buffy and Doctor Who), so that one didn't surprise me as much

[bearshorty.livejournal.com]

Currently I watch Doctor Who and Supernatural but I have not seen the last season of Doctor Who yet - just accessibility issue.

I watched Buffy, Dawson's Creek, Gilmore Girls, Farscape (love it so much), Dollhouse, Queer as Folk - both UK and US, and Veronica Mars. Buffy, Dawson's Creek and Farscape are closer to my fangirl heart, although I quite enjoyed Dollhouse as well.

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

Awesome, we share tons of shows! I was thinking mostly of the US version of QAF I suppose lol (Brian/Justin <3 ), but I did enjoy the UK version as well. Vince and his DW geekishness was so adorable

I keep thinking of having a re-watch for shows like Buffy, Dawson's Creek, Dollhouse, and Farscape (all close to my heart as well!), it's just finding the time when I have so much else to catch up on... I also want to rewatch all seven seasons of Gilmore Girls before the revival is released, but we'll see how that goes lol

[moongirl24.livejournal.com]

We only share two current shows (Pretty Little Liars and Supernatural), but I plan to check out Daredevil and Empire at some point so that might change soon :)

I was such huge Queer as Folk (US) fan a few years ago! Mostly because of Brian/Justin ♥ They're still one of my favorite OTPs :)

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

Aww me too, I'm bummed that I missed the fandom heyday for that show, but happily there are still quite a lot of Brian/Justin videos being uploaded on YouTube even now :D I wish that I could find more fan fic for them though :(

And I only started watching Empire very recently, I'm just caught up on the first season so far. It is a bit of a soap opera I suppose lol, but the characters are really fun

[bm-shipper.livejournal.com]

Oops... looks like we have literally nothing in common anymore :D
Only iZOMBiE from present shows and Queer as folk from past ones...

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

I'm really surprised at how many QAF fans there are on my flist, I had no idea!

And I thought that iZombie would come up as more watched than it did actually, that's one of the shows I'm always seeing discussed on my flist, so I was expecting it to be among the top voted shows

[angelus2hot]

I've only watched Doctor Who with Nine. I love the Ninth Doctor.

I absolutely adored The Vampire Diaries until Nina(Elena) left the show. It took forever for me to like Damon/Elena and since she's gone I don't have any interest now without that dynamic anymore. I'm not interested in seeing Damon with anyone else...

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

The Ninth Doctor was one of my favs too :)

And TVD has definitely been a bit rough this year, disappointing after I really enjoyed season 6 and it felt like a return to form, but the Heretics just weren't interesting enough characters (well other than Lily anyway), and even the intrigue of the flash-forwards didn't end up panning out to much. I'm still remaining hopeful for season 8 though *g* I felt like they introduced too many characters this year with the Heretics because they were panicking after losing Elena, Jeremy, and Tyler

[sueworld2003.livejournal.com]

I'm always amazed at how little love there is for Breaking Bad on lj, considering it was one of the most critically acclaimed show of recent times. I adore it, just as I'm enjoying Better Call Saul, and yet hardly anyone seems to talk about it.

I'm tempted to say maybe it's because it has no sexy male leads in them.

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

I should have probably listed Better Caul Saul in what I'm currently watching actually, but I wasn't sure if I should as I'm still not caught up on season 2. I'm planning on watching it at some point, but honestly it never really became a must-watch for me in the way that BB did. I think that I was most excited in the early episodes with the Tuco connection to BB lol, but then everything with the Kettleman's was a bit too slow-paced for me, and I just wasn't finding myself rushing to watch it. It definitely had its moments though, especially in the scenes with Jimmy and Chuck

And I'm surprised that BB isn't discussed here more too, but I suppose that the biggest shows for fandom tend to lean more towards Sci Fi, so that could be part of why it doesn't have a bigger fandom?

[silverusagi]

I checked TVD and SPN, even though those are in the past for me.

But Daredevil is on my 'to watch very soon' list!

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

I'm interested in hearing what you think about it :)

And side note, but I'm kind of disappointed at how few Hannibal fans there apparently are on my flist :( There's such a big fandom on tumblr, it's a shame that the fandom presence seems to be nearly non-existent on LJ

[tellshannon815.livejournal.com]

I have to admit, I suck re posting at the moment. I still watch TVD but haven't posted in a while about it. As for SPN, I ticked it because I'm marathoning it, but I'm embarrassed to admit how behind I am!

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

You can't be much further behind than me, I only caught up on seasons 8 and 9 recently after buying the Blu-Ray's and binge-watching them!

[gillo]

Dr Who is my show since 1963, and I'm not giving up on it. Ever. Buffy is the show of my heart, and I'm irrationally pleased to see it beats all the others. My current favourite actually airing now is Lucifer.

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

I knew that Buffy would have a lot of watchers on my flist, I've friended so many fellow Buffy fans over the years *g*

[eowyn.livejournal.com]

Only Doctor Who!

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

That's enough! ;) There's always plenty to discuss there, especially with the new companion about to be announced

[tigtogiba34.livejournal.com]

Hi randomly saw you on top 25 and Flo's name!

Gossip Girl is my #1 forever!

I talk fandom sometimes vaguely although my biggest are Wrestling, Game of Thrones (Khaleesi) and Marvel I dunno if you'd wanna be friends or not but I love polls and got drawn in hee

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

Sure, I'm happy to give it a go :)

[rogueslayer452.livejournal.com]

I really need to get into Daredevil. I have heard great things about it, especially in the latest season with Elektra (who I am already in love with having seen the gifsets and the like).

I've always had an on/off relationship with Doctor Who. It really depends on the actors and the direction. I loved Nine, but I gave up during Ten, I came back for Eleven but stopped after Amy and Rory left (although I did see Clara's introduction, found her adorable), and I haven't seen anything after that since, and this was mostly my disappointment and frustration with Moffat. I may return if the new showrunner proves to be decent and treats the characters properly, but that is a huge if.

And I gave up on Pretty Little Liars during S6B. The mid-season finale left me feeling disappointed, and the mid-season premiere just didn't interest me that much (and I was so upset about the death of the one character). And then learning about the character relationships getting messed with, I decided that I was officially done with the show. Which I never thought would happen since, through all its ridiculousness I still stuck by it, but I guess there is a limit to everything.

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

Elektra is pretty awesome! I really need to find some icons with her, but you never see much with her character for some reason with season 2 Daredevil icons :(

And it feels like PLL lost the magic when they did the time-jump, they really should have wrapped it up with six seasons after high school ended. I actually don't mind the new relationship (although not so thrilled with recent developments there!), but the show really does feel tired and out of ideas at this point. I will still keep watching though :sighs: I just really hope that they wrap up everything properly with the finale, really not here for the latest whispers that the show could go on for yet another year while missing some of the main cast :(

[apeygirl.livejournal.com]

I really would like to be watching more shows, but my schedule is so weird that I just let things pile up. The only shows I'm current on are Crazy Ex Girlfriend and Last Week Tonight and Game of Thrones when it's back. I don't know how I let so much TV slide away. I'm planning to get a treadmill (next week!) and use shows to bribe myself to use it.

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a good strategy! I have boxes currently piled up on my treadmill oops, I was just thinking today that I really need to move the boxes already and start using it again

[favoritexrecord.livejournal.com]

Empire, TVD, & PLL for current shows, Gilmore Girls and Gossip Girl for past.

Buffy is on my to-watch list on Netflix.

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

Top of the list I hope? ;)

[wendelah1]

I watched the original Doctor Who (Fourth Doctor!) and New Who beginning with Nine until part way through Eleven. I thought the quality of the writing diminished greatly.

There are so many shows I've watched enthusiastically for a couple of years and then broken up with abruptly, usually over the dismal fate of a female character I'd become attached to.

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

I'm the opposite in that I tend to stick it out with shows long past I should, I have this need for closure and finishing the story I guess, you'll know a show has gotten *really bad* if I ever bring myself to drop it :P

[itsnotmymind.livejournal.com]

I'm not currently watching SPN, but I'm still very involved and invested in the first ten seasons, and I do suspect that I will watch S11 someday. I'm just not motivated to do so at this time.

ETA: Oh, and I missed TVD on the list! I don't love TVD, but I am gradually working my way through the early seasons. I quite enjoy the occasional episode, but the show really annoys me if I watch too much of it at one time, and I strangely don't care about the characters, like, at all.

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

I'm the same way with SPN, I would like to watch the later seasons at some point out of sentimental attachment to Sam and Dean, but it's definitely not a must-watch for me any more

And lol I enjoy TVD more than you do it sounds like, but I do know what you mean about it annoying you if you watch too much of it, the sense of morality when it came to the main cast was always very skewed

[mfirefly10.livejournal.com]

lol, I love that Buffy is beating everything on this list by a not-small margin :)


We're still watching a few of the same shows (Daredevil, Doctor Who, Pretty Little Liars, and The Vampire Diaries.) Plus Empire which I dropped a few episodes back but may pick up again and The Good Wife which I stopped watching but will tune back in for the series finale.

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

I'd expect nothing less from my flist when it comes to Buffy :P

And I've dropped behind with TGW as well, although apparently the last two episodes have been much better, so I'm going to try and catch up soon

[megan-moonlight.livejournal.com]

That's an interesting idea.

I didn't tick Empire, since I decided to drop it after I've read what happens in the new episodes, but I'll keep reading spoilers for a while to see how the season ends. Then I'll decide if I want to catch up with it or not.

And I didn't tick the X-Files only becausae I had no time to check out the new season yet.

I still haven't started watching S2 of iZombie (as I said, not much time for all the shows), but now it's finished, so I can binge-watch it. I miss Ravi and Major a lot.

I quit SPN after S6. It got too long for me, really. But It's been so long since I thought about Nip/Tuck! And yay for Qaf :) It's great to see both on your list.

Now that I saw Dollhouse on your list I remembered that I stopped watching it and never finished.

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

I'm not caught up on season 2 of Empire, but I really enjoyed season 1 and definitely want to watch season 2 soon

And I've been thinking about having a rewatch of Nip-Tuck soon actually , it was pretty out there at times, but it had its moments! Sad that not many people seem to remember it any more though, I remember it being pretty popular in its day

[daybreak777.livejournal.com]

Yay, Buffy and Veronica Mars! I'm watching Empire right now before Game of Thrones.

I'm glad we have so many old shows in common!

[frelling-tralk.livejournal.com]

I was expecting Buffy to get a lot of votes, but I'm very pleasantly surprised at how many VM fans I have on my flist as well, I had no idea there were so many of us! And me too :)
