8 random things

January
19

Well, I’ve been tagged. I’m it.

Yes, the “8 random things about me” meme has managed to make the rounds of the Internet for quite some time without hitting me, but Jane over at Jericho Monster got me this weekend.

So I decided that in keeping with this blog’s theme, I’d keep my eight things TV-related:

1. I’ve seen every episode of Charles in Charge. (I’m not proud, just honest.)

2. The original Battlestar Galactica and Galactica 1980 defined my life for two years. I had the biggest crush on Richard Hatch, the original Apollo, who now plays Tom Zarek on the (way better) remake.

3. A few of my colleagues and I have obsessed about Lost the day after each new episode for three years now.

4. I watched the first season of Joe Millionaire religiously. (Again, not proud, just honest.) Second season? No interest.

5. I love The Wire but can’t watch more than one episode at a time. I truly believe it’s one of the finest hours on television. Ever. But its realism sometimes is just too much. I need at least a little break between eps.

6. I loved Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (starring Gil Gerard) when it was first run. In re-runs, I absolutely can’t stand it. Oh, and I had a crush on Gerard, too.

7. I really like Curious George on PBS and happily watch it with my toddler sons.

8. I really enjoyed Jericho when it first aired and was quite disappointed when it was canceled. I never thought it was going to be revived and have never been quite so happy to be wrong. The folks I’ve gotten to know involved in the revival are really interesting, funny and intelligent. Shows  could do a lot worse than to have a fanbase half as much of any of those things as Jericho.

And now I’ll tag:

Adam at The Jack Sack

Nick at Riding With Rickey

Mary at Just Browsing

Linda at In the Middle

Liz at Small Bites

  1. Jane

    Thanks Amy. Interesting. I loved Gil Gerard too.

    Wasn't that fun??

  2. Adam (The Jack Sack)

    Thanks Amy!

    If it matters, I have cultivated a pretty accurate impersonation of Buddy from "Charles In Charge." That's one free random fact about myself. To see the rest, come by The Jack Sack.
