Completely normal, average native to your planet, Earth [ That's nonthreatening, right? ] asking for recommendations on television shows. I like medical dramas. Anything with classic 'handsome human male meets beautiful human female and proceed to deny romantic feelings over nine seasons' will receive priority.

I also need someone to pick up the three television screens I ordered online. They won't deliver to an 'unknown address'. Money's not a problem, I can pay.

[ So what if everyone else is concerned with other things? Thundercracker certainly doesn't care. ]

Oh me! Me! Pick me!

I volunteer as tribute!

[screenplays]

You're the only one to offer so far.

[heartlessglitch]

Individuals who are completely normal generally do not feel the necessity to declare themselves as such.

[screenplays]

I'm setting the scene. Establishing character traits. Giving people a picture using text. How else are they supposed to know that someone's normal here?

[transuniversal]

Did you already watch the 51 seasons of General Hospital?

1/2

[screenplays]

Of course. I looked up all the major daytime soaps during my first year.

[screenplays]

My first year having a TV.

Did you ever watch the Nickel Samurai? It's a kids' show, but it's very popular with professional women. And there's a big love polygon, too.

[screenplays]

Never heard of it. Can I watch it here? How big, and does everyone end up with the first person they fell for?

[slightlyoffchilt]

I favor documentaries.

[This is surely a red flag for "hello I am a doctor and also my showing off happened", abort!]

[selfimage]

I can hear the fun boner deflating.

[screenplays]

They're not bad. Repetitive if you watch more than three on the same subject.

[selfequipped]

Bones and CSI, if you haven't watched them yet.

[selfimage]

It wasn't me.

[screenplays]

Yes to CSI, no to Bones. What's it about?

[transuniversal]

You always have good ideas, Kate.

VIDEO.

[retconman]

Television shows. That's what you want to know?

[ He raises his eyebrow. ]

Interesting priorities you have there.

They're not going to get me to care about anything else.

[finally someone looking to discuss pertinent pop culture issues!]

They don't get a lot of the good programmes here but there's some that are all right. And you kind of picked a crap genre, but... try Grey's Anatomy, maybe Ally McBeal. Maybe Sex in the City, Desperate Housewives, maybe even Friends, if you're into that. And soap operas. Definitely start watching daytime television.

[A beat.]

Three TVs?

[screenplays]

Already caught up on my universe's daytime TV. And I've never heard of Ally McBeal.

I'm used to more.

True Blood
If They Have It Here

[screenplays]

Why won't anyone recommend something I can watch here?

video forever

[yourpiecenow]

If you haven't watched Gilmore Girls, no one will ever believe you're human.

text forever and a half

[screenplays]

Gilmore Girls?

[sensuality]

Beverly Hills, 90210 is pretty decent

[screenplays]

What's it about?

Secret Life of Predators
No Reservations

[ Not even close to what he was asking for, June.

(Completely normal over here, too.) ]

[screenplays]

Seen the first, don't get the point of the second.

[attractedtodarkness]

Try Scrubs. People seem to like it.

Why don't you just get the screens sent to a random address and pick it up from there?

text

[screenplays]

Seen it.

One of the screens will. Just want to know where I should start to get caught up.

Voice

[viced]

Oh, do you have a thing for TV or something?

[ That's a lot of TVs. And he's asking about shows. This is so weird why are robots so weird. ]

I didn't expect a -- [ robot ] -- someone to be so bound and fucking determined enough to order three tvs.

[screenplays]

[ Oh it's you. ]

I like watching it. And I'm a screenwriter, so I need to keep up to date.

Three isn't enough. I'll get more eventually.

You're a disgrace, you know.

That's a matter of opinion. And I don't care what you think.
