Despite my love for Gossip Girl, I rarely watch TV shows on television or on the internet, and watch tv even rarer than that.
One TV show I absolutely loved when I was younger was Sailor Moon (dubbed in Cantonese). The episodes would mostly focus on the five characters to the left (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Moon) so my knowledge of those other five to the right (Chibi Moon, Neptune, Saturn, Uranus, Pluto in whichever order...) is lacking.
I remember that little phrase that Sailor Moon would say when she transformed, and her hair curls changed, and she had a tiara looking thing, and her dress changed. I looooved that show: I haven't been able to find it anywhere to download (not that I have looked too hard) and especially in Chinese. I stumbled across an episode once whilst flicking through Sky channels, and it was in English, and I couldn't understand why it was in English. To me, it was a show that was Chinese, it helped me to learn a lot of conversational Cantonese during a time when I found it hard to absorb more Chinese vocabulary.
I don't even remember the content of the episodes. The main 3 characters at first were schoolfriends and argued a lot, and there was a cat. New people joined the group, like Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus, and they fought magical type crime together. Maybe I should wikipedia it.
Edit: found a youtube channel where all 200 episodes are uploaded. Made my night, that did :) Having watched a couple of them, I am a little confused about which language I watched SM in - Japanese or Cantonese. Not that they are similar, just that I don't remember the voices as well as the scenes.
