Challenge #8 - In your own space, create a quiz or a poll (or tell us your thoughts about answering quizzes/polls).

This is a list of 15 shows that I started, possibly months ago, most likely years ago (or even a decade ago sometimes), watched one season or so, LIKED it, and then never continued watching them for no particular reason. xD And now I want to ask y'all - which of these shows do you know and like?

The results of the poll will probably not actually affect my watching order because I have my favs (which is why the list is alphabetical), and there are also some shows that would fit these criteria that I AM currently watching so I didn't put them on this list. :P But at least I'll find out which ones have the biggest fandoms for when I do watch them and want to talk about them. :D

I vaguely know a good chunk of them but I only watched more than one season of The Vampire Diaries and Call the Midwife. I do that a lot -- watch one season and then almost forget about the show.

I was thinking just recently (because of my wandering on Dreamwidth) how much I have lost the habit of watching live-action tv shows minus the latest drops on Netflix (just because they're there, basically) and limited series when they come recommended to me. On the other hand, now I'm watching many anime, something that I didn't do for years before Covid... so, I guess it's all about getting bored of something and then coming back after a while? Who knows.

I used to have lists of "things to finish", then I thought that if I'm curious I'll go back, and maybe they'll even become my no. 1 fandom (like it is at the moment with AoT), but nothing prescriptive. When it happens, it happens!

"I do that a lot -- watch one season and then almost forget about the show."
:D SAME, which is why this poll exists. xD I actually had a list much longer than 15 shows, so I decided to narrow it down to shows where I actually LIKED the first season instead of just having watched it. :P

I think the genre/medium doesn't really matter in the end, it's just about the fun you're getting out of it, so yay for finding your current niche! :) I watch a little bit of everything, I think my criteria are only 'does it have characters I like' and 'the longer the better'.

I love this attitude! ♡ I don't keep a list of things to finish, I only keep a list of shows I started (sometimes it's one episode only xD) and I don't care if a show is on this list for 15 years (as a lot of them are), so in the end it's the same. I never need to go back to any of them, I just like to know which shows I've actually seen some of and which I only know from fandom osmosis. xD
