Don't bother with pictures of the characters. They won't look attractive to me, and I won't recognize them later. So, you know, if you link me to pictures, I will gaze at them in a thoughtful fashion, but there will be no actual cognition taking place.
*lightbulb moment* How about pictures of animals instead of the characters? Like liviapenn's reenactment of DW episode 'Utopia' as done by kitties? (Does not contain any animal harm.)

Things I think BB should watch for you: Yes, [Prime] Minister - the humour's mostly verbal. And what normal people call 'dated', meaning that getting the jokes requires the additional enjoyment of back-engineering the current events of the time. At random, I'll rec an episode I was watching with friends yesterday: 'A Diplomatic Incident' (YPM s2 ep3) which has a puppy, diplomacy, the French language, and an official groping Humphrey. [Honesty compels me to add that we never see the puppy. But nothing bad happens to it either.] Xena - 2.28 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun', 2.34 'The Xena Scrolls', which is the AU episode that sparked a whole genre of AU fanfic, 2.37 'The Quest' [just the kiss] 2.39 'A Day In The Life' [just for subtexty banter] and 3.48 'Been There Done That' [contains animal harm - skip what she does to the rooster, just watch the banter, and what she does to Joxer.]
The West Wing - season one in general. It's all about the verbal. It happens fast enough. In particular, the first and third episodes, so you get the President's entrance, and Charlie's introduction to the White House.
subtitles are NOT OPTIONAL for DVD sets, TV people!
They really aren't. I've had so much more ability to focus on the screen now that there are DVDs with subtitles.
I think recommending, as a fannish pursuit, is three parts love, one part obsession, and one part cataloging instinct.
Also matchmaking instinct, in my experience. Which is not something I could do matching people with *people*, but matching people with books or shows or stories is so rewarding when it works. It's like proving a theory.
He's a retired racing Greyhound
Complete and utter couch potato, then? (My friend aphephobia has a retired racing greyhound. He's totally sweet. And my parents have whippets, which are like smaller, dumber and more destructive greyhounds.)
I named her. I was four. I don't want to hear criticism, thanks.
You were a better animal-namer than I was at the same age. The best cat I've ever known was named Per. Pronounced Purr. Meaning 'purr', but spelled Per because I was four.
Lots of crimes against nature are awesome. Waffle cones, for example.
