A Database And Commentary On Slashy TV Shows

Find yourself a slash fandom?
My mission: To search TV land for slashable shows and bring my opinions of each program's slashability and general watchability to YOU.
Ok, no, I just like ranting about what I read and watch, and something tells me I shouldn't be writing about fangirls' Supernatural incest fantasies on LibraryThing (not to say that I haven't written about incest fantasies on LibraryThing. You just shouldn't do it for a television show, it would be inappropriate). Nor do sum ups of whether House and Wilson make a good pair belong on an actual review of the show.
So yes, this is primarily NarwhalTortellini's Rantime Extravaganza!!!! But I'm putting it up here because for one thing, no one likes to rant alone (^_^), but also because I see next to no place you can look for what (non-anime) TV shows are best for a slash fan looking for another fandom. You can of course check and see if a series has slash fics or coms for it, but my experience with this has told me that in no way equates to a show ACTUALLY having honest-to-goodness homoeroticism, and personally that's what I'm looking for. Mind, I don't expect people to actually listen to my opinions on whether the show is good or slashy or not, as I'm hopelessly picky. Hopefully instead, people can decide themselves what parts of my tastes
are ridiculous
fit with theirs or not, and pick accordingly.
On the other hand, with only me here, and despite how much I love slash, this place is probably may as well be renamed “Why All The Slash In The World Is Completely Unjustified Crack: A Very Pretentious Girl's Journal.” So it'd be a pleasure if those with other opinions or who've watched other shows would like to comment or write entries. (I don't really want this turning into, say, amazon or ship manifesto central, though, where you only get opinions from people who love a series, so I'm not leaving this com open for joining right now. If someone actually comments or emails me with desire to join or an entry they'd like me to post, then I'll figure out a good course of action for the future. *skeptical anyone gives a crap what she's doing here* ^_^)
Also, I, um, don't own an antenna. Yeah, not actually a HUGE TV person. I'm watching it more now cause of my desire to find some good slash fandoms and a little boredom on the anime side of things, and being a little tired and busy for books, but I've not the time, the patience, nor the high tolerance for crap I would need to seek out everything out there and watch it enough to write it up. This blog is primarily self-indulgence. I am long winded, will rant, and give you uselessly particular and then annoyingly vague information. I will update irregularly, whenever I just so happen to have watched a slashy series. Having this thing HAS been getting me to watch more, which quite frankly I find a little embarrassing (said the girl who created an entire community to measure the believability of male characters in television shows suddenly turning really gay).
