aidenfireSo I'm working on my holiday wish list on Amazon, and I saw Supernatural S1. And y'know, I've heard a lot of good things about the show (and the actors!) but I don't know if I would actually like it. I like shows with lots and lots of character development, and when the plot is things happening to the characters rather than the plot being something that would happen anyway and the characters just happen to be there (which is why I love QaF and PoT and why I stopped watching Lost early season 2. It became so much about these random things happening and the characters reacting to them instead of about the characters themselves, if that makes sense.) I also don't like lots of violence and horror--although I can watch it if it's not excessive or gratuitous, if that's the only thing going for a show or movie I won't be interested. I am also unsure but open minded regarding those other inital shows. Um. BSG? and SG something? Hahaha, I don't even know what they stand for, I just know they are space cowboys sorts of things, right? What do you all think?
And, for the record? When I say I've watched Prince of Tennis and Queer As Folk and Lost? I mean that's all I've watched, ever. And a few episodes of Gilmore Girls and that's it. So any show you want to recommend would be acceptable. :)

Date: 2006-12-03 07:19 pm (UTC)Angel the Series is a spin-off of Buffy with a few of the main characters. It's more of a mix of crime/comdey/horror/drama, and ldghdakjghldskjhgaldkhg. Again, lots of character development and, just, yes. Plus, there is WESLEY. omgomgomg icon! :D
But, yes. They're both great shows, and if you decide to start watching them, and pick them up, you should know that Buffy has 7 seasons, and Angel has five. Angel begins during Buffy's 4th season, so you should get through the first three Buffy seasons before you begin Angel if you want to go in order.) :D
Also. Grey's Anatomy is a good show. Again, good character development. And my sister tells me good things about Veronica Mars and Supernatural, but I have not actually watched them.

Date: 2006-12-03 07:31 pm (UTC)Yes, vampires omg. But there are other monsters, too. Like, Seth Green plays a werewolf-in-a-band, and there are witches and other cool monsters like this snake thing that sorta looks like Voldemort and other ones. The good thing is that the monsters don't take away from the character like they would in the movies, but kinda add to it all. It's all very cool. I think you'd like it. :D
There is medical-ness in Grey's Anatomy, but then most of the show takes place in a hospital. But it's not as bad as, like, ER would be. I mean, there is medical lingo and stuff, but it doesn't take away from the characters, which are the focus of the show. In fact, a lot of the cases are really funny and sometimes tie into the plot (and sometimes don't). Like, there's one where two people got stuck together having sex, and it's so funny omg. :D

Date: 2006-12-03 07:51 pm (UTC)You might like Bones (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bones_%28TV_series%29). It's a crime drama, sorta like CSI, but without most of the gore since, like the title says, they're working with bones most of the time. There is lots of character development and romantic chemisty in that one. :>
And while I'm on Wiki, the links to Angel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_%28TV_series%29), Buffy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer), and Grey's Anatomy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey%27s_anatomy).
