Lisa289 and everyone else who's reading this, have you guys been fans of Bad Girls all along, since 1999? I personally only found out about its existence at the end of last year and, to be perfectly honest, the premise didn't sound interesting to me. Until I actually gave it a chance. But I've been hooked ever since. It's nice to know that Logo is giving the show a second life, so to speak. |

Mostly not. There's a few folks on this board who have been around since the early days (COOL, richard, ILMJNet, MJNet, and some others) but most of us have come to the show more recently. |

i actually came to bad girls via youtube videos recommended on afterellen. after watching the excellent nikki/helen vids i had to have more, so i got the first three seasons. like you mm, i'm not sure the premise would have captivated me without the aid of the videos. i'd be interested in hearing from those who watched it when it first came out in the uk what their first reactions were to the series. especially their reactions to some of the cliffhangers, cos unfortunately, i knew too much when i started watching the dvd's. |

Thanks for the information, abzug! It's amazing how committed many people around here are. That is definitely subject to admiration. aj57, Afterellen has also played its part when it came to me getting to know the series as well. I just love that site, do you? They did some interviews and Scribe Girl does recaps weekly, I'm sure this has attracted at least a small part of the audience, her The L Word recaps are very well known and I guess most of those who watch TLW also watch BG now, too. I agree with you, it would indeed be very interesting to find out the initial reactions of those people who watched BG from the beginning. I read somewhere that the writing and producing was very much critisized just like it is with The L Word these days, for example, when Helen's part on the show was reduced and the like. Maybe somebody will be willing to share?

i love the scribegirls recaps too. i usually read them, then watch the episode again, then read her recap again. not too obsessed? i like the afterellen website, but i have to admit i don't like the way their blogs/threads are set up. maybe i just don't know how to use them, but i find you can get on one, write in something, then when you come back later, can't find that thread again. i have to say mjnet and ilmjnet have done a terrific job here. even an idiot like me can get around it. mm - are you just watching the bad girls episodes on logo, or have you watched them some other way. i.e. where are you up to? |

Nope. I only started watching like mid-S4 (so about 2003). When S7 was airing, I decided I wanted to see the earlier series. So I got S1 on DVD, the S2 then S3. Was hooked to these 3 series. And now I have the complete S1-8. |

Yes, indeed, the boards are very easy to browse and navigate, I'm really glad I found this place. I don't watch BG on Logo since I live outside the US. Too bad they didn't show it while I was there. I've watched most of S1-S3 on YouTube and also downloaded a couple of episodes via torrents. Which is not as convenient as it could be if I had Logo, but it's still fine by me. Not that there was any other way. And I'm sure you're not the only obsessed person around here; sadly, I'm on around the same level of obsession as you are. Hopefully, it will wear out once I've watched everything around a million times... Yeah, right... But the show is just too good. Splendid writing. (And acting, etc., etc.) Lisa289, staceyyy, congrats on having discovered the series (more or less) early on... it's way better than finding out about the show around 7 years after it'd started.

Gosh, you're cruel. But, in my defence, I'm not only obsessing over a show and fictional characters but also reading Sophie's World (which I've been meaning to do for a while). So it's not all that bad. So far. I wonder what will happen after I'm done with Nikki's reading list? |

I don't suppose you'd care to give the rest of us an analysis of how Sophie's World relates to Bad Girls, once you've finished reading it? |

You know, for some odd reason, that question of yours sent shivers down my spine. But I think I might give it a try once I'm finished. |
