My mother was sitting in the living room, mending socks every Sunday and on TV there was running some Tarzan girl chased by an ugly dinosaur. Then there was some stupid young man constantly unconcius, some madman talking about wonders of nature in a way I didn´t understand. And then there was a VERY YUMMY Lord with beautiful dark haired companion and I was hooked:)

Oh, I stumbled upon the episode Divine Right, and it was the middle of the episode already and that was it! I wanted to know more about the show so I did a bit of a research on the net... Since than I've been a huge fan of the show in general and a huge M&R shipper. I never knew I could get hooked on a show as fast I was hooked on this one... I honestly couldn't believe myself...

I was visiting my aunt out of state and woke up at 5 am and was flipping through the channels and stumbled onto this. I've been hooked ever since. I would set my alarm just to be able to catch this show every week day.

While channel surfing one Saturday afternoon, I ran across this show with a girl in a leather bikini living in a treehouse, and said, "What the hey?" So, I kept watching and then there was this extremely good-looking, barechested man building a sandcastle and I said, "HELLO! Who is that?" It was the episode, The Knife. I watched the rest of the episode and decided that I needed to watch it again the next week. Then because I was getting up at 4:45 in the morning to go to work, I discovered it on TNT. I did a little surfing on the net and discovered the old message board. I joined, made friends, met the stars of the show. And the rest is history.

My story is pretty boring. I like Conan Doyle (as you can see from my username). One sunday I zapped through the tv channels and stumbled upon opening credits. I decided to give it a shot and I'm so glad I did Smile

Oh wow, it's great reading about how everyone found TLW - good topic.

It is so rare for anything science fictiony to show on our local tv stations, that you watch everything at least a few episodes. No need with TLW, I was hooked after Marguerite shot that german fellow in the alley!!!! I like shows where women don't just scream and faint, or wait to be rescued. Not that being rescued by a handsome english lord is something to be sneered at.... ;-)

Ratings weren't good however (what a surprise, showing it on a friday night!), and they stopped showing it halfway through the 2nd season. I wasted no time getting the DVD's! It's a good thing they don't wear out too easily...

Well, I had a kidney infection. NEVER have one. EVER. Even if you are offered a lot of money. Mind blowing makes you stupid pain! Oh, and I had a back strain on top of that. So, the best I could do was lay on a sofa, take drugs, sleep, watch tv, and then take more drugs. In the wee dark hours of the morning, there wasn't crap on and I was channel surfing and it was on one of the affliliates. Cheesy dinosaurs, mysterious goings on, beautiful dark-haired woman, fruit that make you youthful and immortal and then this cute guy getting eaten by a tree. To a Vicodan addled-brain, it just rocked!!

So, I kept my eyes out hoping to catch it again, since it seemed to be a weird hours kind of show. Then I caught the first two episodes. Couldn't find it again for the longest time. Then Netflix solved all my problems. (All Hail Netflix!! Praise Netflix!!)

Then, I went hunting for fanfic, found Rann, then she led me to all you wonderful peeps!!

September or October, the very first year it aired (1999?) I was looking for something to watch on Saturday night, checked the TV listings, saw "The Lost World" listed, with no explanation. I think I thought it might be the old movie, which at the time I enjoyed, so I tuned in. Turned out it was "More Than Human," the first episode of season 1. I enjoyed it enough, and was intrigued by the relationship between the handsome hunter and beautiful brunette, I tuned in the following week. The rest, as they say, is history. I never missed an episode until the bitter end.
