I don't tend to watch much television. But I do like :-

* Boston Legal (Denny Crane! Alan Shore is dreamy in a bewildering sort of way)
* Any TV show with Rupert Everett involved (I'm a pair of binoculars and a bush away from stalker, lol)
* Old Grey Whistle Test
* Blackadder
* Black Books
* I used to really love House Md, but I kind of lost the thread :s
* The IT Crowd
* Spaced
* Porridge
* Buffy The Vampire Slayer! (Giles. Need I say anymore?)
* Star Trek (Next Generation and Voyager. Deep Space Nine is a turd of the highest order. I cannot stress this enough. If I were on that space station I would open a gas line and light a bloody match, just to save the audience. Can you sense the contempt I have for this show?)
* That Mitchell And Webb Look
* Documentaries (I particularly love programs on Greek history and Mythology)

I like to watch DDD too but recently read somewhere where Guy Fiari or whatever who does the show, has his people go in beforehand and check out the diner owners because he is extremely homophobic and won't be around gays. Now I don't know if this is true or not but if it is, he's in the wrong business because gays are everywhere in TV land. Also hard to believe too because if he is in fact this way, you'd think it'd be hard for him to avoid such people given all of the shows he does on both TV and cable and you just know someone in the production crew is gay. So, I don't know...

louielouie2000 02-03-2012 08:01 PM

I'm only going to list current TV shows:

Downton Abbey (this could easily be my fav TV show of all time)
Revenge (my guilty pleasure)
Family Guy
The Cleveland Show

Other than those, PBS is pretty much always on at my house. I watch the PBS News nightly, Washington Week, all the little cooking & home improvement shows, etc.

mylittledemon 02-03-2012 08:09 PM

I've actually become somewhat of a TV junkie of late... watching Dexter, Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones, and Camelot.

My all time favourite show is still Seinfeld, though. It just never gets old for me. :)

ButterCookie 02-03-2012 08:24 PM

Oh! I forgot Downton, too! I am a Downton junkie.

Absolutely agree! The PERFECT foursome. Each character compliments the other 3, so perfectly.

The CSI shows I enjoy.

bucklind17 02-04-2012 03:52 PM

Big faves:

SONS OF ANARCHY - I haven't been so hooked on a show in ages. I marathoned the first four seasons in less than two weeks. So gritty, amazing writing, awesome characters and a subject matter I never would have thought I'd find so fascinating. Can't wait for the next season!

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS - Anyone who thinks television isn't "good" anymore has never seen this show. One of the best written, directed and executed television shows I've ever seen. I felt I knew the characters and I cried when it ended because I would never get to see them again.

ER - Old favorite! Still love to watch eps now and then.

THE WEST WING - I'm finally starting this now and adoring it. It's another show where the writing and characters are so strong that it's hard to believe you're watching fiction. I feel like I learn a lot too!

REVENGE - An awesome evening soap with high drama and intriguing storyline. Wealth and murder and revenge, oh my.

Other faves:
Lost
Modern Family
Downtown Abbey
Weeds
Big Bang Theory

Macfanforever 02-04-2012 10:04 PM

fringed n fab 02-05-2012 03:12 AM

I don't watch much regular TV but mostly cable shows.

*I do like Price Is Right
*House Hunters on HGTV (who knew some people still live in outdated 30 year old decor)
*Property Virgins on HGTV
*The Vanilla Ice Project on DIY (I love to see what he does to Florida homes inside and out)
*How To Do Florida on Sun Sports Channel (because I think host Chad Crawford with his salt n pepper hair is too cute and funny to watch)
*Bath Crashers with Matt Muenster on DIY (because I adore him and think he's the sexiest handyman ever)
*Celebrity Ghost Stories
*I Survived... Beyond and Back (glad someone mentioned one of these earlier, what I find fascinating about both of these shows is how so many of different peoples experiences, and I know some quickly dismiss her, but so much of what many talk about are the very same things Sylvia Browne has talked about in her books all these years. I think you have to listen to people and make sense of it all. It's interesting no doubt)
*True Blood on HBO (because I love the show)

I saw the entire 1st season of "Dexter", thought it was great, but saw it when I was out of town & didn't have Showtime at home...now I have Showtime, but after missing 5 seasons, just didn't think I could catch up.

Watched "Fringe" when I had a DVR to record shows that were on simultaneously, but after relocating, I no longer have a DVR, missed so much I'll never catch up, unless I spring for the DVD set...much to my ongoing chagrin.

(until about the last 2 seasons; kind of got tired of the constant cast changes)
The West Wing
Threshold
Monk
Nip/Tuck
(first season only...got too goofy after that)

Was hooked on all the "Law & Orders for a while, then trimmed back to just the "Criminal Intent" one, then lost interest when they started the revolving door of the cast.

I never really took to the UK version of The Office. Maybe because I have a profound hatred for arrogance, and Ricky Gervais secreted it from every pore in his body. Is the US version any better? I've been hearing good things about James Spader's contribution to the show. Is he as good an addition as I hear?

SuperFleetwood 02-06-2012 04:54 PM

I loved the UK version, but for Tim and Dawn rather than David Brent. I enjoy most Gervais projects, and I have a crush on Stephen Merchant, but that's another story.

The U.S. version was great for the first three seasons. After that it's been pretty hit or miss. I'm not really enjoying James Spader, personally.

I am watching this series from start to finish. I am in the middle of the 3rd season right now. I love it! I grew up in small town Texas and it's like they filmed this in my high school. So I have to say, this show is very authentic. AND they filmed the series in Austin which was my home for the last 10 years so I get to see a lot of the old haunts. Great show!

Big ER fan here and will always break out the dvds!

You're just starting The West Wing? Joy! I wish I was watching it all for the first time again. I absolutely love it. I sit with friends having West Wing marathons.. yes, I'm that guy! Whereabouts in the show are you?

KarmaContestant 02-10-2012 10:56 AM

I don't watch a lot of TV - maybe 5-8 hours per week at the most, less than that normally. Most of the TV I watch is right before bed - History, Investigation Discovery and National Geographic are the channels I usually watch. I love crime documentaries and anything about science, history and space.

However - I do watch some less-than-educational programming from time to time, and I have to admit that when I do, I enjoy some of the worst TV out there.

Jersey Shore
Dance Moms (this is seriously entertaining)
Hell's Kitchen

Every now and then I catch an episode of New Girl (with Zooey Deschanel).

I watched some of American Horror Story...but lost interest about half-way through. I just can't commit to an entire season of anything.

TV involves too much lethargy for me to put much time into it. I use it to put myself to sleep or to waste time. There's almost always something I'd rather do - cooking, cleaning, gaming, walking, gardening, laundry, intense political discussions or philosophical debates about love, spirituality and the meaning of life with friends, social media like The Ledge. I like to always have something next on my list.

markolas 02-10-2012 10:57 AM

The Golden Girls will probably always be my favorite show of all time.

Modern Family and The Big Bang Theory are two of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Seinfeld is even more insufferable now than when it was on the air.

I am a few episodes into season 2 now. I only had the season 1 DVDs at first and with that finale, I actually downloaded the first season 2 ep to see what ended up happening! But I have the rest of the season's available to me now (yay for that big huge box set!) and I am soo hooked! I don't know what took me so long to get to watching it, but I would like to thank Rob Lowe and his autobiography for the final push that got me there.

It's crazy but I actually remember certain plot points from when they happened. I had friends who watched the show plus certain things were just SO big that I recall them being mentioned a lot, so there are some things I KNOW are coming and just don't know when! Especially one huge one that I know is a long way off but I know is going to shatter me when it comes.

Nico 02-14-2012 12:06 AM

Love a lot of shows, but utterly addicted to this one right now:



Matt Bomer kills it as Neal and him and Ted DeKay are awesome together. The whole cast is great and the show is very well-written and just...I love it.
