I too should be sleeping before my 8-8 shift, but nope, I'm here reading your meme answers, tres cool by the way :D Thanks for sharing. Ahhh the life of a night shifter, sucks a little doesn't it ;)

[vyperdd.livejournal.com]

Night shift does suck a little but the extra $'s/hour makes it a bit more bearable.

I loved this meme. It got me thinking about shows I hadn't thought of or watched in a long time. Think some re-watches are in my future.

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

Unfortunatly my bosses think I'm working somehwere that money goes a lot further than it actually does, so the extra cash, not so much, lol! I do get extra hours to play online though ;)

[galwithglasses.livejournal.com]

Northern Exposure….so many characters to love on that show. Marilyn, Holling, Ed and Chris. It was awesome. I still can't cook with cumin without hearing Adam, I think it was, rant about it. And yes to M*A*S*H being funny but in such a smart way.

[vyperdd.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, NE was brilliant. Not so much when Joel left but I still have very fond memories of all the characters, esp Marilyn. She was my favourite. So quiet and yet so funny. And I had the biggest crush on Chris.

And M*A*S*H is still one show that makes me laugh no matter how many times I've seen the eps. And the finale has me bawling my eyes out every single time I watch it.

Yay for Quantum Leap! I love that show and its the reason my son is called Sam! And MASH, I cried buckets when that show ended! It's fun reading this as made me recall shows I liked, thanks!

[vyperdd.livejournal.com]

Yay!!! A fellow Leaper!!! I'm still not over the way it ended, don't think I'll ever be happy with what happened (or DIDN'T happen--- trying to avoid spoiling folk) but it's still one of my favs. Scott Bakula was amazing having to basically play a new character every week.

[jj1564.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, it was a great show, I watched a couple of episodes recently and it's still so good. Like SPN, it could be really funny, really sad and really exciting, and Scott Bakula is a fantastic actor, loved him in Star Trek Enterprise too. I'd love to see a remake of QL with Jensen as Sam and Misha as Al!

Oh man, I looooved Northern Exposure. Holling! Ed! Marilyn and Ruth-ann who were wonderful in every single way. I can't believe I forgot about that show.

*ahem* now get back to writing your bigbang, kiddo!

[vyperdd.livejournal.com]

Another NE fan!!! Thank God for dvd's and being able to re-watch all the shows I loved from the past.

Yes, M'am.

But first I have to do my SpringFling and it's gonna be a toughie. I got the main pairing that I like to write but none of the prompts have jumped up and yelled "write me, write me." Gonna have to put a lot of thought into it and hope & pray that inspiration strikes soon.

[riyku.livejournal.com]

Sending happy writing mojo your way.

I'm in the same boat, got my choice of pairings in spades, but have been doing that dead-eyed stare thingy at the prompts for the better part of a day. They're great prompts, too, broad and very open to interpretation which is good, I'm just totally blanking. I'm sure that we will power through!

[vyperdd.livejournal.com]

Thanks!!!! Hope you sent a truckload as I need every bit of mojo I can get for both SpringFling and my BB.

So glad I'm not alone in struggling to know how to proceed. I was hoping for something a bit more specific. I tend to do better if I have several prompts to include rather than just one word or idea which could go anywhere.

Though, an idea has come to mind in the last couple of minutes that I think I can do something with.

Best of luck to you and all the Flingers. We can do this!!!!

Agree with you on the reality/talk shows..a big NO from me.
I have never watched a CSI either..too formulaic for me.

SPN/Firefly A BIG YES!!!!

Jared has made me sit through "Flight of the Phoenix" and "New York Minute"
so I think it is safe to say i will watch anything he has or will be in :)

Jensen too.

[vyperdd.livejournal.com]

There is just soooooo much really good tv to waste time watching crap. For example: SPN & Firefly!!!! Brilliant must watch again and again TV

Me too and I also made it through "House Of Wax" Oh, Jared, the things I will do for you!!!
