Haha that's not crazy here, I think you'd be crazy if you didn't know. I probably know all of her lines from Snow White and Merlin by heart . . .

I really like it a lot too, it's a very unique concept, and I like just about any Hunger Games fanfic revolving around Haymitch and Effie, my two favorites. And I like the names of their children, Effie's daughter actually has my name, lol.

I'm with Annette on this one, I love Christmas films and Miranda was so adorable in it. It certainly wasn't the best thing ever but trust me, I've seen much worse.I preferred it over Prince and Me. One thing I liked was the little bit of adult humor they put into it, where Miranda's Annette mentions that there are issues with 'other aspects of their marriage' and Nicolas gets really embarrassed and . . .well I can't remember what Fred said, but I just liked that part for some reason. It was obvious innuendo for the older audience but not so bad that it'll go over the heads of younger audiences. And I also agree, the little kid was soo cute.

Oh don't get me wrong, Liz has her moments in the series (wait'll you find out what happened to Carolyn's dad), and yes the original Barnabas and Julia are amazing, especially Julia! Ooh! And in the show, Maggie Evans and Victoria Winters are two different people, Victoria's still the governess, but Maggie Evans is the one who is like the reincarnation of Josette. I know!! I will thank Mab every day for that typo. Best. Mistake. Ever. img.photobucket.com/albums/v223/Liz-ONBC/Dark%20Shadows/Elizabeth%20Collins%20Stoddard/joanbennet.jpgOh and here's the original Elizabeth.

I have a smaller poster sadly, but I do worship it to pieces as well!! Mrs. Lovett and Sweeney are like two of the best fictional characters ever. Oh I love Liz especially at the end with the gun, but I have to warn you, she's not as cool in the series. She's sort of nondescript in the series. The Barnabas Collins in the series is amazing though and don't even get me started on how amazing Dr. Hoffman is! You will love the original series, like I said, it's good considering it's an old soap opera. Ooh and fun fact I learned recently: the character of Julia Hoffman was originally meant to be Dr. Julian Hoffman as in a male, but because of a typo and them not really feeling like changing it, kept the character as a woman. And she was originally meant to be killed off in the first few weeks of her appearance, but they liked her and Grayson Hall so much they kept her for the rest of the show's run. I guess it's safe to say she's very different from Helena's Dr. Hoffman.

Ooh I have them all on DVD too!! And you must steal them! xD Yes! I'm sure that's how the quote goes! I almost died when I first heard it!! You can get seasons 1&2 on DVD, and I'm pretty sure you can find most of season 3's episodes on youtube. Season 1 ep's are only each five minutes long, and 2-3 are only ten minutes so it doesn't take too much time. Ooh I heard she was in that, I may have to see it now for her scene!!! And it has a good cast (not big on Jennifer Lopez, but I like Matt Morrison and Elizabeth Banks) so that's good.

Hmm same with me but I'll give it a go:
Fred Claus Phantom of the Opera (my first Miranda movie ever) Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Merlin Snow White: The Fairest of them All Sleepy Hollow Prince and Me (she's the only reason I've seen this movie more than once) Blackadder series 2-4 and Back and Forth Alice In Wonderland (I guess this was technically my first now that I think about it, but I saw it when I was like six and didn't really know who Miranda was or that she was in it so I don't count that) Chicken Run

Oh my goodness that's so weird, just the other day I was helping my friend make a playlist for something and this was one of the songs she made me listen to. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought 'Mab'! I love Katy Perry and I love this song.

Lol, I'll have to watch this then. The only Sci Fi show I've ever really watched and enjoyed was Battlestar Galactica. Ooh your dad sounds cool! I think the only Tim Burton movie he's ever seen was Beetlejuice and that doesn't even have Helena in it. But I think I might be able to convince him to watch Sleepy Hollow so we'll see how that turns out. . .

Oh my goodness, yes I almost forgot about those guest stars! Blythe Danner as Marilyn was probably my favorite of all the character's mothers, though Debbie Reynolds was funny too. And the Patti episode was comedy gold! And that's exactly how I feel about Will!! He could totally turn straight for her. That makes total sense, I am exactly the same way! I only watch like three shows on TV the rest is all DVDs. Lol her role should have been bigger, but her performance of 'You Took Advantage of Me' stole the entire film. I have that song on my iPod and I totally abuse the replay button when it's on. And there was a point where I would watch Megan's 30 Rock episode like once a day. I really do like Children's Hospital it's quite funny. It's like a parody of hospital dramas on television like Grey's Anatomy and Scrubs, and it's pretty brilliant. Megan plays the Chief, who while being basically hideous (they have to put a lot of makeup on Megan to do that, mind you, and even then she's kind of cute) everyone and I do mean everyone wants her. The first season was more of a hit-and-miss, but the quality improved more after that. Be warned though, it is extremely raunchy. So I wouldn't watch if that kind of humor makes you uncomfortable.

Yay! Someone who understands how awesome Mrs. Lovett and Sweeney Todd is!! She really is so brilliant and unique in everything she does, whether is a more 'normal' role or an eccentric 'Burton' role. I was in awe of Dark Shadows too! My mom's friend told us it was awful, so I was a little worried but I thought it was great. The stories, the art, costuming, and especially the characters were all fascinating. Besides Julia Hoffman, I liked Barnabas and Angelique, and Elizabeth. I also recently got addicted to the original soap, which is really good for an old soap opera. Grayson Hall is just as fantastic of a Dr. Hoffman as Helena. And Mary: You'd really like Sweeney Todd. If you enjoyed Sleepy Hollow, you'll enjoy Sweeney.

I am so sorry, I thought I responded to this but I didn't. :/
Yes, the show had the greatest celebrity guests!! To name a few that I loved: Minnie Driver (Lorraine was like my favorite recurring character after Rosario), Lesley Ann Warren, Alec Baldwin, Jack Black, and my personal favorite Bernadette Peters as Karen's sister. Ooh and I have a question about your opinion on a Karen matter: what did you think of her husband Stan? I don't know why but I've always loathed him with the heat of a thousand suns. I can't really explain it but I never liked him. I always wanted Karen to be with Will (I know he's gay, but in my head, it works)
Well Megan did have her own talk show shortly after Will and Grace ended, but I think you're thinking of her character on this show called 'Up All Night' where she played Shanya, a competing talk show host.
Besides Karen, what's your favorite role of Meg's? I really love her as Tammy on Parks and Recreation (she played the sex-crazed ex of the Parks director Ron, who is played by Megan's real life husband Nick Offerman), Veronica on Breaking In (I love this character to the point where I wrote a fic about her), or the Mrs. Rowan from Fame. Though I've liked her in everything I've seen her in. I've recently started watching her on this show on Adult Swim called Children's Hospital.

Ooh please don't take them down they are quite good! I reviewed your Sleepy Hollow one, that's probably my favorite. I'm a total sucker for maternal stories like that.
