Favorite TV show

Perfect balance of great writing and the fantastic hedonism of Ancient Rome; one of my favorite shows of all time. Plenty of man candy, too

Rome was a great one. HBO ended three great shows prematurely:

Rome
Deadwood
Carnivale

I got to say right now, I really like Hot in Cleveland, too, even though it's on for like two months & then doesn't come back on until June. (Where can I get a job like this?) Initially I started watching because of Valerie Bertinelli. Growing up I watched One Day @ A Time & started watching this because she's from Delaware like me. I liked that show. I like Betty White, too, loved The Golden Girls. Besides Hot in Cleveland (which I record because it's on too late for me), I record & watch CSI; Miami & SNL. I also watch CSI; NY when it's on (heard the rumor that it may be cancelled). I watched AI & DWTS, but I can't say that they are my favorites. I pretty much watch them because nothing I like is really on. Sometimes I watch Mike & Molly, but not faithfully. I do like it though. The actress that plays Molly was on Samantha Who? which I liked but it got cancelled. It seems like every show I watch gets cancelled sooner or later. I liked Medium, & that got cancelled. Liked that show Pushing Daisies & that got cancelled. I almost hate to start watching any show for fear it'll get cancelled soon.

I must be on a manly man kick lately

I love the show, but Mike annoys me. He's too geeky. And funny you call him a manly man, cuz I find him a bit femme. And his teeth are waaaaaayyyyyyyyy too yellow.

It's basically 'To Kill a Mockingbird' told from Calpurnia the housekeeper's point of view. Again, canceled too soon.

I'll see your I'll Fly Away & raise you a China Beach. Talk about a top notch show that nobody remembers.

Yes, much like Fleetwood Mac, I'm sick to death of it, but still.....

Yeah. One of those shows that we'll put on when nothing else is on, even though we've seen the ep. 50 times.

I never noticed anything like that about him. He certainly looks better than his counterpart always alongside him. He has a certain appeal maybe not for everyone.

I've always found it SO intriguing,....the extreme differences, that we're all attracted to. Traits that some find disgusting, others find to be a turn-on(feet, for an example[bleck, personally]).
For me, a great personality can trump almost any physical.....fault...(although I DO mean that you still have to be sexy-whatever that means....confidence is uber sexy!!).

This one is such a guilty pleasure, but Redneck Wedding. This is how I usually look while watching it ------>

I'm so pleased to see that someone else shares some of my current and all time favs

Love em, love em, love em!

Why delete part of your post, then tell people you deleted it? And who are the Haterade Two - hope that's not a personal attack on someone here.

I agree - it's not all about looks, or weight, or physical appearance at all. And I believe there really is someone for everyone. In this case, I am turned off by Mike's personality - he just rubs me the wrong way. But to each their own. I still love the show, just don't want to bang either dude on it.

That show is a crackup. Can it really be real? Have you see Redneck Baby or whatever it's called?

Oh, I think that's true for most people. Some gay guys b!tch about how they're not good-looking enough to attract guys, but in my experience (yes, even with gay guys ), if you're confident and have a great personality, you can get plenty of sex if you want it, even if you're fairly homely.

The b!tchy guys who aren't getting laid (or boyfriends, or whatever they're looking for) don't seem to realize that it's most likely not their looks that are turning guys off.

Back on topic, but am I the only one who adores Phil Dunphy from Modern Family? I think it's because I *am* Phil Dunphy in oh so many ways.

This show is fantastic, as are all the actors. Love it. I literally LOL every week.

Which one is he? Even though I'm a huge Ed O'Neill/Married With Children fan, I've only seen MF about 5 times. I don't know why, it just hasn't really caught my attention. For me, the whole show just feels a little too bitchy/agitated...

He's married to Ed O'Neill's daughter on the show.

I think you have to find humor in domestic squabbling to enjoy it.
