30 Days of Telly Meme - Day 03
19 May 2010 07:14 pmDay 03 - Your favorite new show (aired this TV season): The West Wing
My answer to this shows how hypocritical me recommending shows is, because I simply haven't watched anything new new for a long time, only returning series I already like. Bad me. However, in the meantime I have been watching some new old things on DVD, and in the spirit of this question, I choose the most recent.
(Disclaimer: I was keeping quiet about this in case anyone in the US had political objections, or anyone wanted to spoil it by telling me it got rubbish after Season X or Y. I have some knowledge of US politics, but only historical. I just like it as a TV show.) It is very well written, exceptionally so, in places, and the characterisation is second to none. Martin Sheen is awesome (the entrance is pretty great in ep1 "I am the LORD your God!" :lol:), and Donna Moss is one of my new favourite characters in anything, which means I have to watch the rest of it now. ( I don't think this counts as a spoiler but )
I'm only up to the first eps of S4, so spoiler me and I may have to do something nasty.
(But when, when are they going to run around a bit and try to defuse a bomb/save the world/solve the crime? Oh, wait, have I been watching too much Spooks and stuff? Don't people on TV always solve crimes, save the universe and fight the bad guys?)
Having said that, I think there ought to be quotes:
( Quotes )
( Full list of days )
