TV Shows Buffy People Like

[nerd4hire]

I don't know if there's a lot of territory for discussion here, but I was just musing over something, and I thought I'd share some info on the chance somebody might be able to use it.

I've hung around Buffy message boards for awhile, and here's a list of the TV Shows I've seen pop up the most in conversations.

Charmed - This would be number 1 for consistency, longevity, and amount of discussion.

Recent would be Lost, Heroes, and the new Doctor Who.

Much discussion for periods of time then crickets - Gilmore Girls, Hex, and possibly Veronica Mars.

Popping up infrequently but sooner or later there it will be - Freaks and Geeks, and Wonderfalls

For what it's worth there's one fan's memories of shows that have been discussed noticeably with some frequency, or persistence over the years by Buffy people. Perhaps there's some DVD ideas there.

 

[Willow Rosenberg]

I would've said Supernatural as well, but then again I haven't seen much in the way of discussion about it on here now I come to think about it. Hmmm....

I have watched all those you mentioned except Wonderfalls, Gilmore Girls and Freaks and Geeks, they just never appealed to me, not sure why.

 

[Bluebird]

Haha that's funny, I hate Charmed and I've not watched a single episode of any of those shows. Wonder what that says about me?

[Washburne]

I would've said Supernatural as well, but then again I haven't seen much in the way of discussion about it on here now I come to think about it. Hmmm....

Not much discussion but there seem to be a lot of people watching it. Same goes for BSG and maybe even Arrested development. But that just might be my VH-influence talking. Since this is the only Buffy-board I´ve been coming to I can´t add anything else.

But maybe HIMYM, Bones and Tru Calling might fit the description for obvious reasons.

 

[LizzieRainbow]

Yeah will have to agree with tru calling, love that show, also yeh i watch supernatural too, used to watch charmed but then you could tell after series 6 they were getting really desperate for ideas and using any little thing they could think of.

Other than that i pretty much like
family guy
futurama
hex
angel
buffy (obviously)
tru calling
supernatural
charmed (early seasons)
two and a half men
top gear
and like fakeshemp all of the british comedies

:nibble6:

 

[Lindsey McDonald]

Supernatural definately should be on the list. Not because I watch it, but because Joyce mentions it enough for all of us. Usually with a little drool in the corner of her mouth!

 

[white avenger]

You can also add:

Dark Angel
Smallville
Law & Order (all versions)
CSI (all versions)
Criminal Minds
Moonlight

(and in syndication)
Quantum Leap
Star Trek (all versions)
Star Gate (all versions)

(and a ton of old series on dvd. The list would be just too long to compile)

 

[NightBird]

Don't forget 'only fools and horses' and Porridge.

Would be really interesting to put together a poll – the kind where you're able to select many options – with all these shows, and see how many people watch/watched these different shows....

 

[MSchett]

Would be really interesting to put together a poll "“ the kind where you're able to select many options "“ with all these shows, and see how many people watch/watched these different shows....

its a cool idea but thats gonna be a huge poll

 

[Bangelxx]

My list of TV shows 🙂:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Angel
Doctor Who
Smallville
Freaks & Geeks
So you think you can dance
Greys Anatomy

 

[DarklyDreamingDrusilla]

I will work on compiling a poll from different threads on the boards if you guys just give me a day to work it all out. :smile:

 

[eponinethen]

Ah I was just gonna say "great, this just became my job now?", but I'll gladly let the poster above me do it 😉

 

[crabby patty]

What about Ghost Whisperer, I have just started watching it and it aint that bad

 

[Buffanator]

I love the FX shows, and quite a few from HBO & Showtime.

Rescue Me, Nip/Tuck, The Shield

Boston Legal

Smallville

Weeds (I love love love LOVE this show!)

Other shows I really love are no longer on the air... Sopranos, Rome, Sex in the City


Generally, I don't watch a whole lot of TV. Imagine that! 😉

 

[eponinethen]

If there is a poll, I'd like Sex Feet Under and Twin Peaks in it as well. Not because I think there are that many people who have those shows in common, but it would be interesting to see... And did we mention Alias already? And I'm guessing we've mentioned Bones?

That's a most cool idea. I notice others are interested. Hold off on doing anything with this for awhile OK guys. We the staff are going to try to put something together with this new survey software we're tinkering with.

For now show suggestions are appreciated.

Besides Buffyverse?

Definitely a bunch already mentioned: Arrested Development!, Family Guy, Gilmore Girls, House MD, Doctor Who, Freaks & Geeks, That 70s Show.

A couple not mentioned: Friends, Sex & the City

Funny side note: I was watching the episode of Sex & The City called 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and Sarah Jessica Parker's character was wearing the EXACT same outfit Buffy wears in 'No Place Like Home' during the spell. The light shirt with the little devil head and the tan pants.
