Culture Binge
I’m looking for your help here people, hit me up with some suggestions on what to read, listen to, watch.
I have watched maybe two hours of TV since New Year’s Day, so I’m excited to get back into the soothing tub of mental balm that is the Spring season of television. Fringe and Season 7 of Project Runway are both back in action, Lost comes back on Feb. 2, South Park, The Venture Bros. and Glee are on longer hiatuses, but start soon enough, Archer and Human Target started last week and Caprica starts tonight.
The thing is, very soon I’ll have the opportunity to absorb a good bit more TV culture (also more time for blogging, natch), so I’m debating what else to watch. Here are my top choices of stuff from the Naughties:
- Battlestar Galactica
- The Wire/ The Sopranos/ Mad Men (it’s one or the other)
- Firefly
Beyond that, I’m considering Star Trek: TNG, Doctor Who (I’ve never seen an episode of either) and The Prisoner. Probably re-watching Futurama.I don’t really like anime, but I really enjoyed Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, so that’s getting a re-perusal as well. I’m open to suggestions of other anime (movie or TV) worth watching.
I’m also getting back into comic books/graphic novels. Fables, The Invisibles, and Y: The Last Man, are my current reads. I’ve heard good things about Transmetropolitan and Doktor Sleepless. Any other suggestions?
I have a stack of books waiting for me, so no suggestions there, but anything else (paintings, movies, bands) I need to experience, let me know.
