because some of the keywords are fucking hilarious

THE TV KEYWORD MEME (gacked from jewelianna)
• Go to IMDB.com and look up 10 of your favorite TV shows.
• Post three official IMDB "Plot Keywords" for these 10 picks.
• LULZ @ THE KEYWORDS!
• Have your friends guess the show names.

1. Dramedy / Cross Dresser / Title Spoken By Character - MASH
2. Saga / Fascism / Head On Stake / Religion / Space - Babylon 5
3. Prophecy / Dark Humor / Dark Side - Buffy
4. Based on Film / Good versus Evil / Back From the Dead - Stargate SG1
5. Small Town / Gay Teenager / Character Name In Title - Dawson's Creek
6. Sexual Tension / Partner / Famous Opening Theme - X-Files

I'm so lazy, so there's only six. Four are some of my all-time favourite shows, another is one I like quite a lot, the other is an object of mocking and ashamed love. Some of my other all-time favourites didn't have many keywords or only had really obvious ones.

4. Buffy? (though I can see that as 3 too)
5. Dawson's Creek?

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

It's 3, and yup for Dawson's :)

[alasen.livejournal.com]

3 or 4 Buffy?
5. Dawsons Creek.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

It's 3, and yes, you got the show of shame :)

[fuskeez.livejournal.com]

3. Angel?
6. X-Files?

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

3. Close but no
6. Yes, and that was the vaguest keywords I could pick (they were all cellphone / cancer / clones / aliens *g*

And there's another you should totally get ;)

[lydia-petze.livejournal.com]

4 = Buffy?

5 = Dawson's Creek?

6: X Files?

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

5 and 6, yes.

No, Buffy was number 3, and you should have got 1 - MASH ;)

[lydia-petze.livejournal.com]

The title spoken by character part threw me off, but I remember, it does sometimes happen.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Yes, I got a little carried away with the obscure keywords, but I was so amused. Alas no one has figured out what fascist saga of heads on a stake I was devoted to ;)

1. ugly betty

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

No, but there's a cross-dresser on the show? I should watch! :)

[jdq.livejournal.com]

well... Alexis was really born Alex lol.

[leyna55.livejournal.com]

1. MASH?
4. Highlander?

[iibnf.livejournal.com]

Yes, and Erliyn thinks you're smart for getting Mash.

[iibnf.livejournal.com]

Highlander's wrong.

[leyna55.livejournal.com]

*snicker* Half smart then *g*

I can think of quite a few Good vs Evil/Back from the Dead. (my Tv watching habits clearly predictable). Based on Film? Hmmm...

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

So many of #4's keywords were so specific I ended up making it too vague! Cause Highlander does fit, and so do Buffy and Angel. But it's scifi ;)

[maxi47.livejournal.com]

4. Stargate?

Some of those keywords are really obscure.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

YAY! Yes, I got a little carried away, partially cause of amusement (why would you have a keyword of "head on stake") and also cause some of the others seemed so amusing.

Of course at the time, Back From Dead seemed to make it obvious enough (thank you Daniel *g*).

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

PS - I think you watched #2 too, it's sci fi.

[maxi47.livejournal.com]

So hmmm. Head on a Stake. That'd be Farscape. *L*

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Hahahahahaa, Farscape also has heads on a stake? I really have to watch more of it.

But no. I just added two more keywords, not sure if they'll help.

[maxi47.livejournal.com]

Rygel just has to have his revenge. That's all I'll say. It's in a Season 2 episode. *G*

I'm stumped. I got Stargate without ever watching more than one episode of the show. See how fandom abdorbtion can get you?

[maxi47.livejournal.com]

*thinks*

Babylon 5, maybe, hmmmm.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

And the winner is Maxi! :D

[fadedsouls.livejournal.com]

Awww, you posted the answers just as I was to post and say Stargate. Back from the dead, totally giving it away ;)

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry! I couldn't think of anything but Daniel (and SG1 in general) for that either :)

[tapedeck.livejournal.com]

Saga / Fascism / Head On Stake / Religion / Space
Ahaahah, I want it to be NCIS.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Ahahahahaha - it isn't, but you totally win for best answer!
