"Hullo, class, hope your holidays went well." Rose said, she tilted her head, "Since not everyone was in for our last class I decided to postpone the test to next week." She handed out the handouts she gave last time, "So, here's your chance to study for the test. Basically it's about television and its effects on society."

"For now though, I'd love to hear your what your fave series are... if it's sci fi, drama or reality shows. No judgin' in this arena, honest." Rose smiled, "I'll go first, I love watchin' soaps, it's mindless fun and the drama's so over the top you'll have fun throwin' pop corn on the telly. But I also love watching documentaries from the Discovery channel and indulge on the occasional sci-fi series, particularly the classic Galaxy Quest." She turned a defiant look at her class, "And no movie is goin' to change that, yeah? Classic Galaxy Quest is the best."

She waited for any comments to die down then nodded to her class, "All right, you lot, it's your turn, what's your fave show, why and do you think the show has influenced your views?"

"Not much TV?" Rose said in tones of amazement, "It's clearly a wrong we must rectify. Tell me, what sort of DVDs did your friends give you? Maybe I can add more to that?"

She smiled. "I have something called Steel Magnolias that I haven't watched yet, some stuff with dinosaurs and a lot about Robin Hood..."

"I don't really have a favourite TV show," Liz said, "I haven't watched a lot of TV,"

Re: Answer the Question [11/29]

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"Really? Not even a soap? Or a documentary?" Rose asked, curious.

Re: Answer the Question [11/29]

"I've seen some different genres but not enough to have a favourite show," Liz replied.

"Don't watch a lot of TV," Chad admitted, "but I got....Japan had these two cool shows, Carnivorous Kingdom and Spontaneous Trips. I liked them a lot. Here I watch a lot of, um," his eyes shifted slightly under his hair, "modeling shows. They influence me a bit more. They're preparing me for my career."

Re: Answer the Question [11/29]

Rose smiled, "Hey, modeling shows are fun, I'm not going to take that away from you."

Well naturally, Robin's favorite show was The Muppet Show, which had had an enormous influence on him. "Uhhh," he tried to think of a different show. The Muppet Show might not count.

Re: Answer the Question [11/29]

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

"Go on," Rose said patiently, "Any show would do."

Re: Answer the Question [11/29]

"Well I'd have to say The Muppet Show." he said. "I'm biased, but it is still my favorite, and it's influenced me quite a bit."
