Day 02 - A show that you wish more people were watching
The Sarah Jane Adventures, definitely. I love SJA. I love it hardcore. It's basically Doctor Who, but with Sarah Jane (who is incredible) and her gang of preteens, one of whom is her adopted son and the other three are sort of tagalongs but we love them anyway, and her alien computer (named Mr. Smith, but we won't examine her reasons for calling him that too closely) and her robot dog (K9! We love you, K9!). The writing is pretty consistently excellent (except for The Gift, but whatevs, that hit my protective-mama kink pretty hard so I forgive it). Like Stargate SG-1, the group's damsel in distress is not in fact a woman (hi there, Luke). I have a fairly massive crush on Luke (because I am a pervy Luke fancier) and Sarah Jane (because how can you not), and I am told that Maria, Rani and Clyde (and Maria's dad) have similarly pervy followings. The show is also quite friendly to LGBT subtext (not text, because it's a children's show) and is basically Doctor Who with fewer deaths (because it's a children's show). I love it because it's happy, because it hits a bunch of my kinks, because I adore Sarah Jane and Luke and Clyde and Maria and Rani and well, everyone, because I just love watching it, and because it's a wonderful, joyous show that's all about how awesome life on earth can be.
Everyone should be watching the Sarah Jane Adventures. If only for Mr. Smith and K9 bickering.
