Television meme day 10

[stonebender]

This television meme was snagged from autographedcat by way of serenejournal. The idea is to answer one question a day from the list below. Today's is:

Day 10 - A show you thought you wouldn’t like but ended up loving.

Probably Sportsnight, Aaron Sorkin's television show before West Wing. I had no intention of watching the show. I thought a show about sports news announcers? I am not a sports fan. not even a little. I couldn't imagine that they would do anything with the show that would be interesting to me. I'm not even sure how I ended up watching the first episode. It probably just came on after I watched something else and I was just too lazy to turn the channel. After about 10 minutes he had me. Sorkin has a way with dialogue which is a big plus for me. Anyway after the first episode it was my must-see show for the two seasons(?) it was on television.



Day 01 - A show that should have never been cancelled
Day 02 - A show that you wish more people were watching

Yep, two seasons.

For me it would be The Wire. I can't recall why I didn't think I would like it, but it is now my all-time favorite I think.

Yeah, I have watched the first season of The Wire. It hasn't grabbed me like many of my friends, but I plan on watching more of them.

I will be happy to come over and watch the beginning of the 2nd season with you. Or, you would be welcome here of course.
