oh! I guess I had assumed that part all along. Got it.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
tommy, I asked at IO9 for some 7-12 Nu Who suggestions and got these:
Dalek from series 1 is good for younger children as 'scary, but not nightmare inducing'. Plus, lots of action and a Dalek!
Aside from that... Rose, The End of the World, Aliens of London/World War Three, New Earth, Smith and Jones, The Shakespeare Code, Partners in Crime, Planet of the Ood, The Eleventh Hour, Victory of The Daleks, and Vampires of Venice would also be great younger audience choices. Personal picks out of that for me would be one of the series openers from Tennant's run - New Earth, Smith and Jones or Partners in Crime.
My daughter is 12 and Vincent and the Doctor is her favourite espisode.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Those are all good - thanks!
Now I just gotta ask my parents if they still have that 40 year old TV, and see if I have the hardware to hook my iPod up to it (MacBook Pros do not play at all with analog TVs).

I must confess my most recent fantasy guilty pleasure.
Canada's Lost Girl is great fun.
It is basically Blood Ties with a female Sucubus PI protagonist, and even sexier police pal (with a secret of his own) and every popular derivative of the genre. I like the plucky, avant-fashionista Girl Friday sidekick even more than the one on BT.
In what is a fairly stressful time for me, it's the best kind of comfort food.
Plus, a little person supporting role that gives Michael J. Anderson a run for my affection.
Extra added bonus, Kirsten Holden-Reid has a voice that reeeeaallly does it for me. Also, a torso not unlike Timothy Olyphant's...and we get to see it a lot.

I've heard good things about Lost Girl! It looks fun. I'll add it to my ever growing list.
Has anyone seen Misfits? I've also heard good things about that.

I do like some of the odd Canadian shows. They show up on PBS sometimes.

I love the "Hey, it's that guy!ness" of Canadian tv. Lost Girl does not disappoint on this front.

TV from New Zealand does this too. I always enjoyed it. There was this... really, really bizarre sci-fi-ish children's series from New Zealand I LOVED when I was younger (some obscure cable channel we happened to get aired it) and whenever I've seen anything else from NZ I've recognized half the cast from that one show.

What is that show called, zuisa?
I recently watched the NZ show, "This is not my life" and then recently saw one of the leads on Sons of Anarchy. Transcontinental Hey It's That Guy!
