1. "The Munsters" or "The Addams Family"? "The Addams Family", of course. I've always had a thing for Christina Ricci. Yes, I know they also had the old TV series but it never hooked my interest the way the movies did. And didn't she grow up.... nice?
2. "The Sopranos" or the "Godfather" movies? "The Sopranos", because, worrisome as it is for my therapist, I can relate to them. Kiss him or shoot him? Hug him or shove him off a boat wearing concrete galoshes? Everyday problems, you know?
3. "The Jetsons" or "Lost in Space"? "The Jetsons". They had fun, they went shopping, they played with the dog.... all the Robinson family ever did was get chased by monsters and remain curiously hygenic.
4. "Superman" or "Batman" (either the TV shows or the movies)? "Batman". I never watched the TV versions very much. Superman always seemed constricted by this rigid code of behavior, whereas you just knew Batman knew how to have a little fun. And every girl wants her own Alfred.
5. "Sex & The City" or "Friends"? "Sex & The City". I have trouble humanizing either group, but I felt closer to the Sex girls, except Carrie. Poor child must have been raised by colorblind squirrels, because she dressed like her wardrobe was designed by a blender.
6. "The Wizard of Oz" or the "Harry Potter" movies? Sorry, J.K., but it has to be "The Wizard of Oz" because it was the first movie I got addicted to as a child. It was a full-blown ritual by the time I was six to go to my Papaw's and watch it in color (a novelty back then, in the olden days.)
7. "The Simpsons" or "King of the Hill"? "Simpsons" Most of the time I want to smack Peggy Hill in the back of the head, she's so.... fixed.
8. "Grease" or "Saturday Night Fever"? "Grease" is my official secret guilty pleasure. I have both DVD and video, and I watch them constantly. I can recite all the lines along with the movie. My husband leaves the house on the days I need to watch.
9. Old prime-time soaps: "Dallas" or "Dynasty"? I never really watched either, but I'd have to choose "Dallas" becaus J.R. used to be an astronaut and have a genie of his own.
10. Not very thought-provoking this week...do you prefer TV shows or movies? Movies on TV.
I know it's not a very interesting or challenging post, but cut me some slack... it's only 5:30AM and I haven't had coffee yet.
I have my physical limits, you know.
