It was a good year on the acquiring new fandom front.

What fandoms did you let go of in 2007?
None really but Prison Break is on hiatus (better to watch in a row) and I'm going to try to give Gossip Girl and Private Practice another chance.

What fandoms did you mean to get into but didn't in 2007? Why?
Farscape (the beginning is a bit episodic and slow for me but I'm trying again!), Gossip Girls, Private Practice, Journeyman (bored by the characters and plots mostly), Life (too episodic at times but I'm trying again), The X-Files (will get to that later b/c of time/motivation) and Viva Laughlin (canceled and badness).

What fandoms do you intend on checking out in 2008?
Farscape (it WILL get done, I swear to god)
Carnivale
Sports Night
Mad Men
Rome
Charlie Jade
The X-Files
Deadwood
Alias
SG-1
Six Feet Under
Will and Grace
The Sopranos
24
Extras
The West Wing
Family Guy
Sex in the City

Oz
Boston Public

Catch up: Entourage, Lost, Smallville, Highlander, Psych, The OC

What fandoms do you think you might let go of in 2008 unless things significantly improve?
All of my fandoms are in good shape at the moment, I think. Except for a few new shows (Gossip Girls, Private Practice and Life)

What fandoms do you think you'll never let go of no matter how crappy they get? Why?
The Office although I doubt it could ever be crappy. I trust the writers. But all of my shows (except for the new ones) aren't in danger of this. I love the characters too much to ever leave them (see Grey's)

What show impressed you most in 2007?
THE OFFICE (still perfect IMO)
The Wire times infinity (BEST SHOW ON TV)
Project Runway (who knew reality tv shows could actually be good?)
Pushing Daisies (the charm never runs out, best new show)

What show impressed you least in 2007?
Heroes S2
Grey's Anatomy S3
Veronica Mars S3 (except for the very end)



It was definitely The Year of The Office here. Thank god for finding my new favorite fandom and show!

Hahaha, 24. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the first two seasons. S2 is my personal favorite, such an amazing season of television. I'm getting all starry eyed thinking about it. S3-5 aren't bad, but S6. Oh boy. S6 is a complete disaster that Jack Bauer couldn't even save. He should hang whoever is responsible for last season by the thumbs so s/he/the typing monkey can never write again!

Word on The Office being the most impressive. Man I love me some petty behavior and zero productivity.

Yeah I heard the first seasons are the best (as they usually are) but have heard horrible stuff about that last season. We'll see how far I get. Same goes for The X-Files there. But you know, Jack Baur. Fictional and overqualified ;)

It doesn't get much better than that! The show always manages me to impress me, I'm glad you feel the same :)

*grins* Dwight recognizes God when he sees Him, since Jack Bauer is definitely a Deity of Higher Being. He is so crafty and versatile he would be like, Dwight's veritable Swiss Army Knife of office protection. I would want him as my Go-To Guy as well!

The Office makes me gush like no fandom prior. I can watch episodes repeatedly without tiring of them, but I am seriously going through new content withdrawals. D:

Well I definitely trust Dwight's opinion which is one of the reasons its on my list. As well as Alias.

Same here! I have never rewatched episodes so much and fallen so in love like I did this show. I miss new episodes too! And the next one sounds sooo good, maybe a classic. It's not as bad as the March hiatus but it's right up there with missing my show incredibly much. I'm about due for a full series rewatch actually.
