What have you been watching this week? I've been watching movies this week, but Monday-Wednesday of next week I'm going to watch season 1 of 24
Do you prefer to Marathon or watch as shows go? If I'm playing catch up, I prefer a marathon of a season (if I can), but normally, I watch as the shows go.
Favourite Genre prodecural/cop drama
If you could get a show on the air, what would it be? I'd like actually bring back a couple of shows: My Own Worst Enemy and Breaking In...and I'm not that much of a Christian Slater fan lol
Which TV character are you most alike? I don't know that I'm like any tv character. I'm pretty boring lol

[timetobegin]

aww i'm sure you're not boring!!!

I've never watched 24, but marathoning it would be probably the way to go!

[skieswideopen]

Cop dramas! I'm a fan.

24 is totally a show to marathon, IMO. All those cliffhangers! (Well, the one season I saw of it was good to marathon, anyway.)

Name skies
What have you been watching this week? Being Human UK, Orphan Black, In the Flesh
Do you prefer to marathon or watch as shows go? Either way. I love marathoning when I can, but I think some shows are better appreciated at a more leisurely pace.
Favourite Genre Science fiction/fantasy. Also police procedurals.
If you could get a show on the air, what would it be? Detectives in space, obviously. ;)
Which TV character are you most alike? Uhh...I have no idea. Let's be optimistic and go with the one in my icon?

[timetobegin]

lol detectives in space. ONE DAY.

[colls]

I hereby officially sign the petition for Detectives In Space

[congo]

DETECTIVES IN SPACE!!!

What have you been watching this week? Hannibal, The Great American Baking something something ripoff spinoff of the Great British Bakeoff, and I am going to try to watch the last two eps of Elementary from my DVR tomorrow. The Voice and So You Think You Can Dance. Also Animated Supernatural is downloading as we speak.
Do you prefer to Marathon or watch as shows go? Marathon, because I like see the entire arc of a season/show at once. But there's a certain excitement to watching it week to week, too.
Favourite Genre Sci fi mostly - though I watch lots of stuff and love crime stuff.
If you could get a show on the air, what would it be? Uh. I'm really bad at this sort of question so I'm just gonna pass.
Which TV character are you most alike? No clue at all. And I just tried to recruit two of my friends to help me and they couldn't think of anybody either. Sorry, I just am no good at this type of question.

[timetobegin]

I did not know there was a thing called animated supernatural. crazy!!!

:D

[elli]

Oh so you think you can daaaance!!! So glad it's back.

[unightfog]

Name nightfog
What have you been watching this week? Orphan Black and Rookie Blue
Do you prefer to Marathon or watch as shows go? both actually. I try to stay up to date, but when I fall behind a few epis, I tend to wait and do a Marathon once the season is over
Favourite Genre everything that involves scifi, fantasy, supernatural stuff
If you could get a show on the air, what would it be? right now I'd say Spartacus, even though the ending was brilliant, but I just MISS THE SHOW SO MUCH!!! apart from that...prolly Firefly
Which TV character are you most alike? Hm, Stiles maybe...bec my mind tends to be at more places than one most of the time, I have the tendency to babble, am not really hyperactive though, when I talk...I use my hands a lot. I am clumsy...not every day, but more often than not. :-D

[timetobegin]

ahahahaa stiles ;D

i'm watching battlefield right now. IN PREPARATION

[sid]

Name Sid
What have you been watching this week? Arrested Development, MasterChef, NCIS, French Open tennis.
Do you prefer to Marathon or watch as shows go? I've marathoned Downton Abbey, Mad Men, and White Collar in the past, when I became belatedly aware of them. There's a real thrill to doing that. But my default is to watch "live", or close to it.
Favourite Genre That's too tough! From the shows listed above, I enjoy comedy, reality competition, procedural, drama and comedy!detective. *g*
If you could get a show on the air, what would it be? I think it would be some kind of scifi show. Probably an old one that was cancelled TOO SOON.
Which TV character are you most alike? Someone really boring? IDK, lol.

[timetobegin]

OH YEAH i forgot about arrested development :D

[elli]

Name Elli
What have you been watching this week? All of the Orphan Black. Again. And some So you think you can dance.
Do you prefer to Marathon or watch as shows go? I don't have a favorite. I like discussions when it happens. It makes me more active. But I also like marathoning. Most shows are better that way.
Favourite Genre Sci Fi
If you could get a show on the air, what would it be? I think Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles. It was so good and I really wanted to know where they would go with it.
Which TV character are you most alike? Miranda of Miranda. I have a hight affinity to emberassment and am very clumsy ;)

[acari]

I would kill to get more Sarah Connor Chronicles. It was so, so good. That cliffhanger ending was the worst.

[acari]

Name Fran
What have you been watching this week? SYTYCD US, The Borgias, Nashville, Mad Men, Chicago Fire.
Do you prefer to Marathon or watch as shows go? Depends on the show. I have shows where I wait until I can watch a bulk of three or four episodes in a row, like The Good Wife, The Borgias, Mad Men. I am not fannishly invested so I prefer to watch on my own time. My current fannish shows, like Orphan Black or Teen Wolf, I watch when episodes come out. And then there are shows I rewatch repeatedly, like IT Crowd or Black Books, those never get old.
Favourite Genre I love sci-fi and character-driven dramas.
If you could get a show on the air, what would it be? I was thinking more in terms of new shows, but Elli's comment just reminded me, I want The Sarah Connor Chronicles back like burning.
Which TV character are you most alike? John Sheppard always felt like a kindred spirit in many ways.

[colls]

I think that's exactly how I feel about marathoning vs. watching along -- it's a matter of whether I'm fannish or not. The sad thing is finding something to be fannish about when it's already done and gone and you're marathoning in thinking OMG WHERE IS THE FIC and crickets are chirping on the internet.
I can marathon most cop shows though, as I tend to enjoy yet not get very fannish or only mildly fannish.

John Sheppard!! <333

What have you been watching this week? Continuum, NCIS, NCIS: LA, Orphan Black
Do you prefer to Marathon or watch as shows go? both, watching as shows goes is fun when you have other people to talk about them with, but I do like a good marathon now and then.
Favourite Genrescifi, police procedurals
If you could get a show on the air, what would it be? SPACESHIPS!
Which TV character are you most alike? cross between Charlie Bradbury and Sam Carter only not nearly as smart as either one. Oh, and toss in a dash of a snarky jerk (like Dean or something).

[skieswideopen]

Oh, I forgot about Continuum. I've been watching that too, of course!

Basically I think the rest of my answers could probably be the same as yours.
