Since I didn't get to babble about television last week and since one of my favorite things to babble about is television, I'm using this week's topic (Current Favorite WHATEVER) as an excuse to babble about my current favorite television shows. I don't know why I keep writing television instead of TV...what am I, fancy? I don't think so.Also, I like to make lists. So here is a list of my current favorite TV shows and by current favorite, I mean shows currently airing even though my ACTUAL list of current favorite TV shows would include Mad Men and Friday Night Lights and whatnot but since those aren't ACTUALLY CURRENTLY AIRING, I left them off of my list, which I think makes this the first time I've never cheated at making lists and omg can you believe this sentence hasn't ended yet?
Favorites!
1. Downton Abbey
I'm so excited this show is (almost) back. I watched the first season on Netflix Instant because Kat told me to and I watched it all in one weekend, probably putting off other important things I was supposed to be doing, like laundry and cleaning and showering, but it was worth it.
2. Doctor Who
Although I'm not as emotionally invested in the travels of the 11th Doctor as I was in the 9th and 10th (I hardly ever cry until I can't see when I watch the Moffat-era episodes also I'm not the biggest fan of the River Song storyline YEAH I SAID IT), I'm still completely obsessed and feel very sad face that the latest season is over. I very much enjoy Matt Smith's antics and am looking forward to next season's Amy-and-Rory-less shenanigans. Still:
:(
That's me right now.
Also, Joe and I just had a long discussion about why we prefer Davies-era Who to Moffat-era Who but still like the Moffat episodes of Davies era Who the most and I thought about sharing all of it but didn't want to alienate everyone who has no idea what I'm talking about right now.
3. How I Met Your Mother
This show feels like I'm hanging out with my friends. Even when it's bad, I still find it comforting to watch. Sort of like Friends. I no longer give a shit who the mother is, only that Barney marries Robin and they have lots of scotch-loving babies.
4. Community
Community makes me happy in ways I can't describe. So I'm not going to try. When I watch Community, I feel like this: WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
5. Parks & Recreation
I think Parks & Rec is a more consistent show than Community, and still I think I like Community more. On most days. On days after episodes like The Fight, Parks & Rec is my favorite shows of all the shows.
6. Fringe
We finally caught up on past seasons and are now watching the show live, which probably means it'll be cancelled soon. SORRY. That's just what happens. Much like How I Met Your Mother, even when I don't like what the show is doing (omg Bellivia wtf), I still enjoy watching it. (I also love The Soup.)
I've also been watching The Secret Circle, mostly because I double heart loved the books when I was but a wee tweenager. I tried watching Ringer (NO) and Revenge (VERY YES) but haven't watched any other new shows because those are the only ones TiVo recorded and I do what TiVo tells me. Duh.

This: "Also, Joe and I just had a long discussion about why we prefer Davies-era Who to Moffat-era Who but still like the Moffat episodes of Davies era Who the most and I thought about sharing all of it but didn't want to alienate everyone who has no idea what I'm talking about right now."
And I will now take the opportunity to throw my two unwanted cents in. I like the the Russell T. Davies era Who better because it is like an emotional feast. Or if you will, I am an emotional crackhead, and Russell T. Davies is my supplier. Moffat is much brainier, which is super fun, but not as OMG. So when Moffat did an episode of Who under Davies' tenure, it was the best of both worlds, really.
What you said is pretty much exactly what we said but better and more concise.
"I very much enjoy Matt Smith's antics and am looking forward to next season's Amy-and-Rory-less shenanigans."
...I haven't finished that season yet and no hint of spoilers?!
I did like the Doctor video though--the Bonus Track rocked! I'll admit I'm a Moffat fan :)
And while you're big on posting videos:

-Enjoy!
Oh, yikes, OOPS. I forget to post spoiler warnings if the episode has aired. I'm not sure if it was definitely a spoiler, though, so there's that? Heh.
That video was magical.
There was talk of Amy and Rory not coming back next season, but I don't know if that's set in stone. Maybe it is, but it's like a weeping angel, and it changes when you're not looking at it.
And I don't care what you say, Jennie, Bellivia was AWESOME.
Why bring up the weeping angels? Just...why?
