I didn't really realise how much, having no friends who live anywhere near me, my "social life" has ended up being built around discussing TV shows online.
Um, seriously. While planning my Exciting Summer Travels with my mother, she was booking tickets and mentioned that we would be flying out on a Wednesday -- and my first thought was noooo Wednesday is sacred Lost day!! even though, uhhh, the show is totally over and, anyway, even if it wasn't, REAL LIFE fun stuff should totally trump TV... except it completely doesn't. Oh my lack of priorities.
And be sure to let me know what shows you end up trying! Much as I love PD I do completely understand that it is a HUGE CUTESY ADORABLENESS OVERLOAD that isn't really for everybody (and in that case I think you'd probably like Dead Like Me more anyway, as it veers more toward the cynical/satirical/bitchy/etc. -- so it's still funny and emotional and heartfelt, but just in a different way). Also I cannot emphasize enough how completely freaking awesome The Middleman is, as I'm in the midst of rewatching an episode right now and ahhhh it is so good. A testament to my pure and abiding love is the fact that I'm actually planning on buy the DVDs as soon as they come out, even though it's been almost a year since the last time I picked up any other TV DVDs on account of being TOTALLY BROKE (Lost doesn't count, people just keep giving it to me! :P) but MM is the exception to my miserliness.
