Studio 60 is brilliance. I think in my heart of hearts I love West Wing and Sports Night better, but Studio 60 is pure excellence. Heroes is different, but it appeals to the 13 year-old fanboy stuck in me. You can watch all the episodes here to get caught up. I started watching it literally right before it went on winter hiatus, and watching the episodes online was a great way to catch up. It's really important that you watch all of the episodes and in order, otherwise it's rather confusing. But it's totally worth the watch. The characters are complex, and almost all (with the exception of maybe 2) of them are totally likeable.
Dickens took me awhile to get into. I read A Christmas Carol when I was 13, and was raised on A Muppet Christmas Carol, but it wasn't until I hit high school that I got into him. Read A Tale of Two Cities. I cannot stress it enough, I love that book so much. I recommend with Dickens watching the adaptation before committing to the book. At least that way you'll know if you like the characters and you'll be able to follow the plot better. Bleak House is probably my favorite miniseries ever.
I could go either way with Lit or history when I go to college next year, but I think history's my priority. I love reading and analyzing books, but doing it for a class seems like too much of a chore. And I really want to get into the field of museum curating as a career, so history's definitely tops right now.
Disney is my favorite. Seriously. My friends come over and we belt it all out with Pocahontas. And I still cry at Beauty and the Beast.
