While I'm cooking root vegetable soup, a television poll or rather meme - where everyone who stumbles upon this checks off their current favorite television series, which they've been obsessing over. (I really should be working on my taxes...but, alas, the last time I did my taxes on Valentine's Day, someone broke in my apartment and stole my laptop while I was sleeping with all my tax information on it. So, I'm slightly superstitious, granted that was a different apartment, and it's close to impossible to do it here...but still.)

Anyhow, back to the poll/meme. Once you check off your favorite television series (the one you are obsessive about at the moment), assuming of course I managed to list it (if I didn't mark other and list in comments), go to the comments and make your case for the show - list any links to meta, fanfic, fanart, fan communities, boards, vids, etc - the links not the actual work. If someone else listed it first, reply to their response and list yours...who knows you might have made a new connection. Oh and here's the important part -- MAKE SURE YOU TELL PEOPLE, ie me, WHERE THEY CAN WATCH OR SEE YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOW! (otherwise, how will it get new viewers?? If people can't find it, they can't watch it. Keep in mind we live in a world with over 1000 different channels and distribution venues.)

For people like myself that watch television but aren't obsessed with any tv shows or in any fandoms at the moment - I have "Nothing at the Moment" listed, because I'm not obsessive about any television series at the moment -- but I'm curious to see where everyone else is leaning. And if there is anything interesting out there that I'm overlooking.

[As an aside, once you insert the poll - you can't edit it -- which makes doing polls a dicey enterprise.]

[Poll #2036851]

I have to admit that's the only series I ever wrote meta on extensively. Or cared enough about to collect almost all the DVDs. (missing S3 Angel.)

I tried to go back and vote, but I just get the results. (Maybe I just know how to do polls on LJ.)

Gravity Falls is a cartoon series about a pair of 12 year-old twins, Dipper and Mabel Pines, who spend a summer at the home of their great uncle ("Grunkle") Stan in Gravity Falls, Oregon--and almost immediately stumble on a bewildering array of supernatural phenomena.

It's the X-Files, it's Twin Peaks, it's the Bobsey Twins--but it's totally unique. S1 was Buffyish with MoTWs, but S2 ramped up the action, the suspense, the weirdness, the mythology to "Becoming" levels.

In case you're interested, s1 eps to watch:

The Inconveniencing
The Deep End
The Time Traveler's Pig
Sumerween

Recommended S2 eps:

Into the Bunker
Sock Opera
Not What He Seems
Dipper and Mabel vs. The Future
Weirdmageddon 1&2

Weirdmageddon 3 tomorrow.

Uhm, the poll is on LJ. (Still bewildered.)

Thanks...this is on the Disney Channel, right?

Best Disney Channel cartoon ever.

I'm also obsessed with Rick and Morty -- Gravity Falls' evil twin, you might say -- but that's not coming back until next year. Bummer.
