I remember Roswell, but never watched it. Hmmm…if it comes around again in repeats, maybe I’ll have to give it a try.

Love The Walking Dead. Well, I have some issues with it, but I’m a huge zombie fan, so I watch it religiously.

I certainly don’t mind sexy or graphic, but I didn’t care for the books at all, so it’s hard for me to work up the enthusiasm to check out the show. One of these days, I suspect I’ll be drawn in, though. LOL

I tried Fringe and Grim, but never got hooked on them. However, I’m counting down the days until The Walking Dead is back!

And, definitely give True Blood a try. Warning, it’s very graphic, and sexual!

Has anyone else ever watched Roswell? I recently watched the whole series on netflix and fell in love with it. It seems that it wasn’t as well known as some other shows though. Max was such a heartthrob.

Girl, what the heck is wrong with you?! You must check out Buffy. It’s fab, you’d love it. And it’s funny, which you might not expect, but it totally is!

Oh, yes—Supernatural. Have I gotten you totally hooked? So glad you’re watching in order, too…the storyline really builds & gets totally more intense as the seasons move on, but if you just jump in late, you’ll be totally confused & not nearly as emotionally invested.

Haven’t checked about American Horror Story yet. Can I tell you something about that show? The previews alone *scare* me. And I’m not sure in a good way. Once you watch a bit of it, lmk if you think I could handle it.

I never really got into Moonlight, even tho I love Alex O.

But, oh—if you liked David B’s Angel, you would *love* Buffy. It’s so much better, it’s crazy. Esp. the early seasons. I’ve got the entire series on DVD (obsessive-compulsive viewer that I am *g*), but it repeats a lot on Chiller Channel, if you get that one.

Hi, Hollie! {{waving}} I loooooooove Grimm & Once Upon a Time. Totally hooked.

Boy, I’m not sure about the new Dark Shadows movie. I remember Dark Shadows being dark & awesome, & those previews just make it look corny & stupid. I’m sure I’ll see it eventually—driven by curiosity, if nothing else —but it’s not at all what I was expecting when I hear they were remaking it with Johnny Depp.

I watch Fringe! Gotta be honest—I have no idea what the heck is going on! They keep jumping around, dropping characters & storylines without warning…I’m so confused. I still watch & I like it on a per-episode basis, but I’ve given up on trying to make sense of it or keep up. LOL

Oh, I’ve got a friend bugging me to watch BG. I’m not usually into sci-fi, but am a HUGE Firefly fan & used to love the short-lived Space Rangers, so he thinks I might like it.

To be honest, I read the first couple Sookie books & didn’t care for them, which is why I haven’t been quick to jump on the True Blood bandwagon. People keep telling me I’ll love it, but I’m wary.

I’ve never heard of Bedlam, but it sounds good. Those darn BBC shows–I never seem to hear about them until they’re already gone.

Oh, Diane, I watch Grimm & absolutely love it. Wish you’d give it another chance. BUT…I totally know what you mean about a show just not catching your attention. There are shows I love now (My Name is Earl, The New Adventures of Old Christine) that I tried when they first came on, but didn’t care for. Then somehow I tried them again & got totally hooked. Bizarre!

I also have to confess that I feel that way about Justified, which everyone just gushes about. I tried to get thru the first few eps, but just didn’t care for it. Not sure what I’m missing, but if you feel that way about Grimm, I get it.
