FNL is the one I would recommend most unreservedly.

I didn't know Owen was old enough to write...go him. Ice cream sandwiches are a personal fave, not as much as drumsticks.

I have FNL on my Netflix streaming queue and I just haven't pushed the button. I'm not sure what's holding me back. I have never heard a bad word about it. Plus there's Aldis Hodge up in there.

But Doctor Who!!!! Yeah, I could be underinformed and overbiased.

Is JP a better actor on SPN than he was on GG?

Yes. Especially in later seasons.

I love all three shows, java. Supernatural is great if you like horror-type stories with an increasingly complex mythology that is inextricably tied to familial relatonships. Friday Night Lights is great if you like real, honest emotions in a show that will tear your heart out but is also not afraid to give characters what they want and make them happy without killing them off three seconds later. Doctor Who is great if you like wacky intergalactic/intertemporal adventures that tend to culminate in the fate of the entire universe being at stake.

Are people who aren't already watching Doctor Who going to love it? That's my reservation, I don't know if it is worth having.

I love those descriptions, P-C! I will likely end up watching all three, so it's just a matter of which one first. I love these kinds of decisions.

Or sometimes they're quiet like Blink and...I was going to say not remotely wacky, but I forget it has funny bits too. Just freaking freaky. Not to mention The Doctor Dances/The Empty Child.

Also should note Supernatural can also be painfully funny. They're not afraid of the meta, nosirree bob.

I think New Who, or perhaps Doctor #10 are good entry points. People who mightn't have liked Classic Who have been sold on those (like, say, sister mine).

What do you mean? I wasn't watching it when I started, and I loved it. It took some time to get used to the tone, but after I got into it, I was really into it.

I agree that FNL is the one I would recommend without reservations, though. Aside from a subpar second season, there's nothing I would worry about someone not digging.

Thanks!

I know how you feel! I've got various shows on the horizon.

Yes to both. It was hard to peg DW into a short description, but yeah, I wouldn't want to give the impression that it's a totally wacky show. It does freaky and dramatic very well too.

Oh, I assumed java was going to do New Who, not Old Who.
