Of the shows we both watch, I completely concur with your grades!

In the last year or so I also managed to finally quite Bones and Smallville - so freeing! I also enjoy the crack of Dancing with the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance! hahaha, and I also share your dislike of Merlin although so many other people on my flist love it - I just don't get the love.

I've been watching the first season of True Blood and don't totally love it, but am entertained enough to keep watching. I definitely don't get the OMG!Love that other people have though. I love Vampire Diaries way way more! Ooh, speaking of do you know any good comms for Vampire Diaries icons?

I've been searching out icons in batches rounded up from the newsletter tvdnewsletter it misses a *lot* of fiction but it's great with graphics and multi-media.

I really, really don't get why people like Merlin so much. I turn on True Blood and if I happen to look at it fine and if I don't fine. I don't get the love for that either, but it's not nearly as confusing as Merlin.

Getting rid of Bones and SV really made my TV experience a much happier place. I only wish I could have given them up sooner.

Ah cool, I'll check out the newsletter. It's probably okay for me about the fic because I'm *currently* not craving VD fic - haha, we'll see how long it is before I start eating up the fic with a spoon!

Yeah, I'm really confused by the Merlin love. It's kind of... really bad! I'm all for people having fun tv they enjoy but I wish that I at least understood the appeal! Ah well, at least we understand each other's dislike of it!

Omg, I know what you mean! I used to describe my relationship with SV as an abusive one because I'd start to wonder why I was watching when there'd be crappy episode after crappy episode and then there'd be a good one (normally because of Michael Rosenbaum) and I'd get sucked back in, and then the crappiness would continue. I felt so free giving up both SV and Bones!

I'm seriously craving post finale what happens next fic. LIKE CRAZY. One must be patient with these things.

MR was SV's saving grace. I stayed after Lex left but have been absolutely miserable 99.9% of the time. I'm glad to be free, but I do miss Justin Hartley's naked chest. BUT! That's what Ian Somerhalder and whatshisface Stefan are for!
