Television!

I've picked up the knitting habit again, which means I'm watching lots of TV. Especially when knitting boring patterns.

So, I'm kind of looking for cool TV shows to watch.

Here's some things:

-I quite like downbeat shows, but right now, I'd like cheery stuff. It's winter and I seem to have overdosed on sad books and TV episodes recently.

-Funny is good. Snarky humour is awesome; lots of slapstick probably won't make me all that happy.

-Sci fi, horror, fantasy, weirdshit, etc, are all pretty awesome. Mundane TV shows about high schoolers with no supernatural/sci fi element, probably not so much. (I'm quite tempted by How I Met Your Mother, even though there's nothing fantastical.)

-Reality shows are RIGHT OUT. I require plot. And scripts.

I'm all caught up on Haven, WH13 and Eureka. Currently watching The Dead Zone (old! But fun). Loved Buffy, Dollhouse and Firefly, have yet to see most of Angel. Was keeping up with both The BIg Bang Theory and Supernatural up until about halfway through last season, but have totally lost my place on both shows. Have had the Sarah Connor Chronicles and.... the one with Joshua Jackson...? Fringe! Sarah Connor Chronicles and Fringe have been recommended.

I would love some recommendations, droll-or-flist!

People, I'm writing a novel, which requires supporting characters.

I've already placed the members of N'Sync and BSB in my universe, plus Britney, Pink and Christina, and one member of O Town (plus 50 Cent). I've got all my major, "speaking role" characters now, I think; what I'm looking for, instead of creating original characters, is pop names to drop, to help populate the universe.

And of course, outside of the ten boys and the three girls I mentioned, I'm not very well-versed in the pop universe. So you would help me enormously if you could list as many pop people as you can think of, preferably roughly contemporary to our boys in terms of popularity.

Or at least: Justin's 23, going on 24 right now, so no one that would have been 15 at the start of 2005. Or 12, as some of these are going to be workplace people.

Extra points if it would give you squee to see their name dropped in a story. (I'm not promising anything more than a name-drop, though.)

Really extra points if you can provide me with a picture or a bio or some information about this person.

Thanks, everyone!

ETA: Female names especially appreciated.
