I've been watching a lot of TV shows from my childhood lately. Well, but "childhood" I mostly mean my teenage years, because as awesome as kids' shows can be sometimes, I've been in the mood for fluff with good plot. Or at least interesting characters.
The other day, I finished my rewatch of Vampire High, a Canadian show that ran for a single season early in the first decade of the 2000s. It's one of those shows that's pretty much entirely composed of filler episodes, very few references to continuity outside of a few specific things... until you hit the last 7 episodes. Then it takes a serious turn for the dark.
( Vampire High commentary. )
After that, I started a rewatch of Big Wolf on Campus, a show that's little more than fluff but has some awesome characters and comedic timing. premise of the story is that a high school jock gets bitten by a werewolf and transforms, and together with his geeky goth friend, has to figure out how to get through normal life (as well as battle the supernatural enemy of the week) while coming to grips with his new condition.
( BWoC commentary. )
Not sure what I'll be watching after I'm finish with BWoC. I do have every episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark, a show that I didn't watch from beginning to end when it was on TV, let alone after it came out on DVD, so I might pick that up next. It'll keep me amused, at least, and the boring episodes can provide good background noise while I read.
...I also miss my paid icon slots, since I have a few screenshots from these shows I want to turn into icons. Once I get back to work, I'll be able to get some more paid time and enjoy the fun of additional icon slots again. :3
