Which TV show would you want a spot on?
One of my random thoughts this morning has been that if I ever got the chance to actually play a part on a TV show I would like it to be on Doctor Who.

Maybe a villain, probably a good guy. Nobody stupid.


Which TV show, past or present would you like to be a part of? Not really as a main character but rather as a bit or semi-frequent player.

44. It's now time to put an American Nobody in our reasonably priced car.
Yeah, I'd do that. Getting a driving lesson from The Stig? That would be awesome, even if he doesn't talk. And listens to Morse code and bagpipes.

5. Survivor, if I was healthy
I'd do great on that show. I'd do even better on The Amazing Race.

8. Quick clarification...
Dexter's victim ... ie a bad person who deserved it...

or

Random person killed by a nemesis... along the lines of Trinity?

42. Apologies...
I made the assumption that if I've seen it in the buttcrack of Afghanistan then everyone who wanted to see it has seen it.

Deepest apologies...

43. It happens.
I usually buy the DVDs and watch the entire season in a couple of days. I tend to do that with a lot of shows these days, LOST is a perfect example.

7. Ye Olde Star Trek
But only for sentimental reasons. When I was a kid I wrote Star Trek fan fiction, though the genre didn't exist yet. I had a character who was an alien girl who had a hopeless crush on Mr. Spock. Coincidence? Suuuure.

13. The West Wing. In any role as long as it was one of the good guys.
I could play a smart, witty, fast-walking, fast-talking, pop-culture-referencing, high-culture-referencing, liberal Democrat working for President Bartlet.

I could do that... B-)

28. You could totally snag Trudy, but you'd have to agree to have a child with her.
Pete won't do it. That's your key, right there.

Edited on Tue Mar-09-10 11:49 AM by charlie and algernon
really just started a year ago, but have managed to get a nice collection by visiting used book stores and little known online auctions.


My favorites are a 1st edition of Mark Twain's White Elephant and a 1940 illustrated version of Leaves of Grass. I've also found really beautiful books that have no monetary worth, but are asthetically pleasing.
