Kitchen Sink Poll...just because

[shadowkat]

This is a longish, spur of the moment, kitchen sink poll regarding things I'm curious about people on lj. In short, I want to know more about the people reading my posts, and what interests them. Because sometimes you just feel like you're sending messages out into a void. I'm sure there are better questions to ask...but I'm tired and brain is soggy.

Oh - the tv shows listed are the one's I actually watch. I don't watch Breaking Bad, and I ran out of room or I would have listed Walking Dead. So if I didn't list yours? That's probably why. There's only so much room.

Going to bed now, because that's probably a good idea. Hope people answer this...always worry about doing polls. That's the thing about this medium, you never know what people will respond to. It's not really predictable and there's no discernible pattern.

Note: I can't edit poll. Or if I can, I've no idea how. So if there be mistakes? Mucho apologies. [ETA: ACK! I already found three mistakes. Oh well. Really shouldn't do this late at night, well late for me at any rate...I get up at 6.]

I very occasionally watch sports, usually during the finals of things, and find them moderately entertaining. Also there is the Olympics...

My favorite shows are usually multi-genre and tend to have absurd humor involved somehow. Those puppies are rare these days. Dramedies, I guess. Everybody is so serious all the time. Also, I like to be surprised and made to think about society and stuff, so sports don't really hit that, while SciFi can, but doesn't always.

Also, I said I speak multiple languages, but I only really feel fluent in one. ;-)

I think the Olympics are different...they tend to be more events. I watch those too. ;-)

I considered putting multi-genre or combos, but figured people could just check every box and combine them in their heads (that's how I answered it at any rate). Prefer dramedy as well...but it's not really a genre or trope and all of the above fit in it.

Also, I like to be surprised and made to think about society and stuff, so sports don't really hit that, while SciFi can, but doesn't always.

This. Yes. Exactly. I think this is why I don't like procedurals and sports that much - no surprises. I know what will happen next in most cases. I like to be surprised and made to think about things...but not preached to. Even if I agree.
