If you're here on this page, you're like me; you like TV and movies!!! This page is to tell you a little something about the ones I like.
Well, I doubt it's TOO egotistical to mention- my favourite show has probably got to be my own, Postmortem Espresso. Produced and shown on VCAM Burlington channel 15, we feature music videos, montages, live guests & whatever other eye candy I can find.
channel 15 has a lot of cool programs in it's roster. Some of my particular favourites include Video Free Burlington, The Davey Horror Show, Deathshead Theatre & Kingdom Sound.
Like many kids growing up in the 70s, I watched waaay too much Tv as a kid. Saturday morning after Saturday morning of cartoons.... my mom also tended to watch a lot of movies and rarely if ever 'edit'ed things; she took me with her even if she went to things with R ratings, probably figuring I'd fall asleep or not understand anyway! So my tastes became kinda weird and eclectic...
When I was a littleun, like many littleuns I was fond of Sesame Street; those oldschool shows were the best! For awhile when I was in Georgia a station I liked to watch was reshowing them as Sesame Unpaved; I really hope that can be brought back! as I'm sure I'm not the only person who wants to reminisce.
I was fond of the old Jackson 5 cartoon, and also the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew mysteries; I think nearly every girl of my era had a crush on Shaun Cassidy for awhile...
I remember watching avidly almost every episode of Kolchak:the Night Stalker. Whereas SciFi has picked this up again, and runs some of them time and again, it doesn't catch my eye now as it did then...still, as a kid I was hooked.
I also loved scary movies and would watch Chiller Theater. anyone else remember the 6 fingered hand??
Oh, & I loved The Kenny Everett Video Show- I wish I could find old copies of it. I liked reruns of the Monkees, too. There was some little obscure channel out of NJ? I think? That would show The Uncle Floyd Show. I liked this because it was goofy, had bands on, and besides Charlie the cameraman was hot...this ran right after reruns of the old 60s soap opera Dark Shadows.I still love Dark Shadows. To this day. It's so cheesy you can't help but have a laugh.
Anni and I? in the 80s? did a LOT of hallucinogens, yes we did. While on these things, we watched a LOT of the old music station u68.... and the short lived Max Headroom series. That I think was cool. Taking place in a world "10 minutes into the future", I think it said a lot more about Tv networks and their sneakiness than it probably should have. Maybe this is why it was cancelled so soon???
Yes. of course we liked PeeWee's Playhouse. I think it was Jombi the genie. No, wait, maybe it was those trippy dippy Penny cartoons....
Fastforward a few years, and we finally had cable. MTVx was still playing metal videos instead've rap crap as it does now. I was fond of the old MTV2 show 120 Minutes, and the classic old Headbangers Ball, instead've the sad parody it's become. Liquid Television was cool too, and I believe Alex Winter? the not-Keanu dude from those Bill & Ted movies? had his own show too. It was kinda reminiscent of Kenny Everett in the way it used video tricks. I'd like to see it again.
Having not noticed it on its first run, we also became glued to the second run of Quantum Leap. Dean Stockwell as a hologram...yes!
TV started taking a back seat for me after a bit- I was doing too many things out in the real world. I still occasionally tuned in various cheesy little adventure shows; remember NightMan? how about Hercules? (I liked Aeolus, he was funny) or The Crow:Stairway to Heaven?
I did however, like many people, watch a lot of The Simpsons; and until David Duchovny went off of it, I was pretty hooked to The X-Files. My biggest interest tho, at that time, was Buffy the Vampire Slayer- I started watching around the middle of season 2 and stayed on until the end of both it and it's spinoff Angel, altho I haveta kind of admit, the BtVS ending was very anticlimactic, and I lost a lot of interest in Angel during the episodes about his son. It was adding Spike in the last season made me watch it again...and then I was hooked until it was over.
While I was in Georgia, we had some Spanish channels. While watching these, I ran across el Beso de Vampiro? I think? it's called? and altho I could only understand every other word they said in it, I watched it because it was funny. They are, aren't they? soap operas are funny. People take these plights so serious- you add in something wacky and supernatural, & I'm all over it. Hence, I also watched Passions for awhile. I still tune it in time & again, but since Timmy went off it, it isn't so interesting.
I like other cultures than my own. This is why I have the AZN channel... for awhile I was watching the Korean music show Video Music Heaven, but eventually they took that off again; I also liked the Japanese variety show Hey Hey Hey.
Sometimes I like to watch Holy Hip Hop. Altho most of my musical tastes are secular, I've got no problem with worship music, and I like to find stuff that has an interesting slant rather than just the traditional.
When Z'ela came back from the West Coast, he brought with him the DVDs of a sci-fi series I had missed entirely on its first run, Lexx. It's a pretty cool funny show, and I recommend checking it out. I've seen them all now, alas...
Another show I've seen all the episodes of but loved when it was new to me is a little preschool learning show. Computer generated, and initially shown as little 5 minute mini sequences between Sesame Street and something else, I found myself making sure I was present to watch every new episode of Tiny Planets. It's about these two fuzzy aliens, Bing & Bong. Bong is my favourite...
They don't seem to be showing it this winter! But we get a Canadian channel as well. Every winter they used to show a art/minimovie showcase show called ZeD. Canada has some cool TV. While in Toronto visiting my friend David I ran across another showcase show called BiteTv. I wish they'd get it in America.
Adult Swim on Cartoon Network has a lot of cool shows. I'm not as fond of some of them as I was when they started, but I used to watch AquaTeen Hunger Force, & Sealab 2021; I still like Robot Chicken, but I believe I may have seen them all by now.
Once in a blue moon I still watch WWE. But they rarely show my favorite wrestler anymore, The Undertaker.
I still watch a lot of music television, altho it's not what it used to be. I had to order cable initially because MTV had long since stopped showing videos and become nothing but boring reality shows. now MTV2 seems to be going that same direction, and when they are NOT showing such dull fare, they are mostly rap. I'm sorry, but I just don't like rap that much. Especially the same rap over&over&over&over.... it was sad when Headbangers Ball died back in the 90s, but bringing it back was a far worse mistake. I still watch it, but mostly I just wince. Subterranean is a pale 120 Minutes wannabe, but I watch it anyway... there's still Vh1Classic channel, & that's good. I like their show The Alternative very much. Unfortunately tho, VH1MegaHits, one of the stations I got cable for in the first place! has gone dark and been replaced with LogoTV, the first gaycentric station. I mean, how do you complain about that? I'm NOT anti-gay, but I am anti-Logo- I was still enjoying VH1MegaHits and I'm annoyed anything took its place. This is almost as irritating as when MTVX turned from metal to rap.
These music station moguls really ought to pay attention to who their watching audience are....
Cartoons I have enjoyed throughout the years include The Jackson 5, The Real Ghostbusters, Beetlejuice, He-Man, Ren& Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life, X-Men:Evolution, Invader ZIM & probably any number of others I've spaced out.
Shows I haven't gone into any detail about but require at least a shoutout include Monty Python's Flying Circus, M*A*S*H*, Forever Knight, Drawn Together, Beavis& Butthead, Star Trek (& Next Generation), any and all things Kroftt, & probably a number of others I've zoned out at the mo.
I also just love the Travel Channel.
