Non-SciFi Shows That You Love!

[EvilSpaceAlien]

You're right, but it's the best I could come up with on short notice

How about....genius. That fits. And I don't think it's setting the bar too high either.

Yeah.... Genius will do.

At least until a linguist can come up with a completely new word to describe the greatness of The Wire.

[EvilSpaceAlien]

Y'know, I'm browsing fanfiction.net, and there's 10 933 fanfics about Hannah Montana (not counting crossovers), and not a single one about The Wire. Of course, a fanfic writer would never be able to do the show justice, not by a long shot, but still, there's something very disturbing and wrong about this picture.

[DigiFluid]

Good. No no-talent fanfic writers should go anywhere near The Wire. They can desecrate that Hannah Montana garbage all they like though

[Dakota Bob]

Quantum Leap isn't that much Sci-Fi, and it's one of my favorite shows

[DigiFluid]

A man leaping through time and inhabiting other peoples' bodies isn't sci-fi? Who knew?

[Dakota Bob]

They never really elaborated on the "science" part behind it, it was basically just a gimmick to have wildly different episodes each week (a good one at that)

Fair point.

Quantum Leap isn't sci fi? O-kay, I'm just gonna stand over there for a while. *slowly walks away from Dakota Bob*

Shocking, isn't it?

[Dakota Bob]

I never said it WASN'T sci-fi, it just didn't really feel like Sci-Fi, as they never elaborated on the sci-fi parts of the show, and just focused on the comedy/drama stuff.

i think the lack of fanfic is a blessing in disguise. Further The Wire probably scares away any potential fanfic writers through the sheer strength and quality of its writing.

[DigiFluid]

I don't think it's a blessing in disguise. Just think it's a blessing, straight up

Well who would want to compete with Ed Burns and David Simon. They are pretty much the greatest writers on tv. And the broke the mold in every way, including managing to have non annoying child characters and create several gay characters who didn't just feel token.

[DigiFluid]

Yep. Even as far as the genius of The Wire goes, I think season 4 was its crowning achievement. No small feat, considering it was largely about kids.

[Replicator Todd]

I hope to check out Burn Notice someday, for some reason i'm really interested in watching that......maybe its because of Bruce Campbell?

Well worth a watch. Just not as good as the Wire

[magictrick]

I just watched the first episode of Justified. Seems pretty good.

Also planning on starting the The Wire soon since all I hear is great things about it.

I just watched the first episode of Justified. Seems pretty good.

I've seen the first 3 eps of Justified. Pretty good I must say. Not too realistic but very good fun.

[Linda06]

Umm... *tries to think of some inspiring stuff to say, that will make you watch the show* Umm..... What the show, dammit!

Are you convinced yet?

Okay I'm convinced But I'll have to wait till some of m,y programs stop for the season. I have so many stuff to watch

fyi on shows that will be back, might be back, might not be back
