While I don't watch nearly as much TV as I did when I was growing up, I do still enjoy it. My preference is in sitcoms, but I don't find many that have character development worth following, or comedy that I find particularily funny. In terms of other shows, I deeply enjoy shows focused on superhuman abilities, which is why I enjoy Smallville and Heroes immensely.

The majority of my current day TV habits involves the NHL's Toronto Maple Leafs. However, I have also seen every episode of The Simpsons, and have an unquestionably large knowledge base of the show, especially of the earlier seasons.


What I Watch Now: The Simpsons, Friends, Saved By The Bell, Smallville, Heroes, How I Met Your Mother, Psych, Family Guy, and Leaf games.

What I Watched Growing Up: Doug, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, DuckTales, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Tiny Toon Adventures, Bobby's World, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (Season 1 only), Alvin and the Chipmunks, Animaniacs, Ren and Stimpy, My Pet Monster, The Adventures of Teddy Ruxpin, Rugrats, Captain Planet and the Planeteers, Darkwing Duck, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Inspector Gadget, Earthworm Jim, Full House, TaleSpin, Growing Pains, Bump in the Night, Family Matters, Goof Troop, Pinky and the Brain, Who's the Boss?, and The Care Bears.

.....needless to say, I watched a lot of TV as a kid.


Movies

edit

I love to watch movies when I have the time. I prefer comedies, but enjoy many genres. I like movies that are relatable -- taking place in settings that I am personally familiar with. I don't like war movies, westerns, or space movies.

Favourite Live Action Movie: Magnolia

Favourite Animated Movies: Aladdin, The Land Before Time, and The Lion King

Other Favourites: Memento, Cruel Intentions, American Pie, The Truman Show, Three To Tango, Liar Liar, Pleasantville, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High.


Music

edit
GDThis user is a fan of GREEN DAY.
 This user likes alternative rock.
  This user can't stand hip hop music.

I love listening to music, whether at home, or on the go. My collection is comprised of mostly mainstream music released from the mid 90s to modern day, with some oldies here and there.

My collection also includes a large selection of video game music, television show theme songs, and select themes from other popular media, such as movies or commercials.

While I have a large variety of songs, my collection has died down considerably. Over the past few years, I have stopped listening to the radio or any music channel, so I am not really in tune with current trends. In fact, I never did much enjoy listening to the radio, since I could not directly control what is played.


Favourite Bands: Smash Mouth, Green Day, Blink 182, Metallica, Treble Charger, Barenaked Ladies, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Guns N' Roses and Our Lady Peace
