fos4snt 02-18-2006, 03:38 PM I'm a finicky TV watcher and don't like to spend ALL my time gettin' caught up in too many shows, but there are a few that have "snagged" me. Share your lists, peeps!
These are my DVR events ~ gotta record 'em all and watch 'em every new episode:
Surface
John Doe
Stargate SG-1
Stargate Atlantis
Avatar the Last Airbender
Right now, that list is in order, too, of favorites. Surface season 1 was absolutely KICK BUTT. The season finale was a major :eek: WHOAH AWESOME. I absolutely loved the insurance guy Richard Connelly, played by Jay Ferguson... his fight scenes were so incredibly realistic. I mean, they were like REAL people fighting... so screwed up and awkward and not FAKE lookin' AT ALL. You know, how the dork who really isn't any kind of fighter gets into it with someone and its SO OBVIOUS they have no real fighting skills and yet, somehow they manage to do the most screwed up thing to win and it's such a :eek: to watch... and the kid who plays Miles is also AWESOME. I'm so into that show and REALLY hope there will be a Season 2, cuz it ROCKS.
John Doe is also very fascinating. The premise is basically this guy washes up on some shore and has absolutely NO memory of who he is... but somehow, he pretty much knows everything and its all about him trying to find ANY clue as to who the hell he is! I love it. It's a really neat show.
While I've been a Stargate junkie for a couple years now, and I know its kinda hokey in that SG-1 always comes out kickin' at the end of the show and its pretty much formulaic in how its created, it manages to keep me gripped in the longer picture of how the stories are developing. Same goes for Atlantis. And its really hard not to just love certain characters.
As for Avatar. I pretty much don't like any cartoons, cept old Looney Tunes and whatnot, because 99% of it is just CRAP. Avatar sucked me in like nothing else. It's really one of THE ABSOLUTE best cartoons I've ever had the pleasure of watching and I eagerly await the new ones coming out. It's in no way stupid. It's deep, well thought out, creative, well animated, and the characters are highly developed. The humor is great, too. It crosses the generational divide. My 5 year old loves it. My 10 year old loves it. Me and Litical LOVE it. If you haven't seen it, I HIGHLY recommend it... it's just plain beautifully done.

Not many shows I make it a point to watch.
The Apprentice
Family Guy
Bad Girls
My Name is Earl
I've seen every season of The Apprentice. I love Family Guy. The first time Family Guy was on Fox, I never watched it. I caught up with it on Adult Swim and now I try to watch it on Fox every Sunday. Bad Girls is on BBCAmerica, it's about an English womens' prison. My Name is Earl just cracks me up. I use to be a diehard Law&Order and SVU fan, but I trailed off watching those shows....they got too redundant I guess.
fos4snt 02-18-2006, 03:59 PM :cool: Poll! Family Guy is a great show and cracks me up, especially the exchanges between Brian and the little dictator. ;) I don't make a point to go out of my way to watch it or DVR it, but when it's on, I laugh my butt off.
I forgot another one I do watch anytime it happens to be on:
Myth Busters
:D
~phos
SierraNevada 02-18-2006, 04:09 PM Family Guy is one of the few shows that I love!!!

skibunny 02-18-2006, 04:22 PM Desperate Housewives
Survivor
The Amazing Race
My Name is Earl
Simpsons
The Apprentice
Wow thats a lot for someone who doesn't have cable...

Emzak 02-18-2006, 04:43 PM I'm ashamed to admit that I'm a big sucker for teen soaps so I watch "7th Heaven" and "One Tree Hill". Guess I don't get enough drama in real life! :D
P.S. I also watch "The Apprentice" whenever it's on. Anyone know if there's a new season this year?

Ratwoofer 02-19-2006, 07:02 PM Don't really watch anything religiously, but I like House, MD. How can a cranky, limp guy appeal to me so much??

oh I Love HOUSE and he does a body good....
I just got channels on my TV. My friend brought me some bunny ears because she felt that I just "wasn't normal" http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/spezial/jasons_smilie/rolleyes4.gif without TV. Before I would only us my TV when I rented movies.
So last night I watched Grey's Anatomy and I liked it. But that's it so far.
hellodolly 02-20-2006, 06:14 PM Proud to admit I occasionally watch and always seem to enjoy: OPRAH, Frontline (for a rather unbiased, seemingly realistic account of what's going on in the world)This Old House, The Daily Show, South Park, and eh, sometimes..Will and Grace.
And yes, I peruse Soap Opera Digest in the checkout aisle to see what's new on Days of our Lives...laim, I know, but what are ya gonna do?
I love the news to find out what's happening, but all too often I find myself feeling totally depressed and completely helpless :rolleyes:
hellodolly 02-20-2006, 06:17 PM Oh yeah, every now and then I tune in to Extreme Home Make Over....I start sobbing like a baby every time. God, what a sap I am. :o
Ariel 02-20-2006, 11:32 PM Greys Anatomy is my new favorite show...I am in obsessed with it!
Desperate Housewives
American Idol
Oprah
Days of Our Lives (been watching since the 5th grade)

Oh, and Brainiacs on G4.

I try to watch South Park sometimes. It's hit and miss though. Some episodes are hilarious, others are just plain crap. Not much of a middle ground it seems. And I still stick with The Simpsons after all these years.
Emzak 02-22-2006, 08:26 PM Yes Emzak there will be a new season of The Apprentice this year, NBC is already advertising it. There is also going to be a second edition, an Apprentice International with foreign entrepreneurs.
I didn't know that. Thanks Poll!
Ninjababe 02-22-2006, 08:33 PM Hands off Alton Brown!!! He's MINE!!!!!!!!!!

LOL, there just something really attractive about a guy who knows what's he's talking about. His intelligence about stuff is just so sexy. My Sweetie thinks that's the only reason why I watch Food Network, the other reason is Tyler Florence.:D
Emzak 02-22-2006, 10:40 PM Embarrassed to admit I am a 49 year old man who has been hooked on the O.C. since the first season.
Aww don't be embarrassed. Hubby is also a 49-year-old man and he has to watch "7th Heaven" and "One Tree Hill" with me every week. He drew the line at "Sex in the City" though. :D
skibunny 02-25-2006, 05:40 PM The Daily Show,
i used to work at the daily show.
now I don't even have cable to watch it! Havent seen it in over a year.
Went to WalMart today. Got Battlestar Galactica season 2.
One hell of a series.
:D
CindyLee 02-26-2006, 06:16 AM We don't watch TV....
an occasional West Virginia University Basketball or Football game if we are home and not working or not at the game ....
otherwise TV just takes up space, we do watch movies a few times a month
actually thinking of getting rid of the TV in the living room
Annie 02-26-2006, 05:42 PM Well, I don't have TV right now. BUT, I've been looking after my BFs house, and have had the TV on while I'm there....what I've been watching:
Sex in the City
Desperate Housewives
a bit of CSI, though I don't really like it
and some of those house makeover shows (don't know the names)
jesique 02-27-2006, 11:17 PM God...i watch way too much TV
I'm a reality TV junkie...right now my favs are
SURVIVOR

I also love almost anything on MTV or VH1...I'll watch it all a million times.
Nadine.
SierraNevada 02-28-2006, 01:06 AM I forgot to mention American Experience. That's a great show. I was watching it tonight about the PFLP hijacking those planes in the 70s and I saw that a guy that works in our Union...his wife produced it. I knew she used to produce stuff for CNN, but I had no idea she was working for PBS. Pretty cool!
Oh yeah...and the 6 channels of Law and Order. If the Law and Orders all went off TV at once, I'd die of withdrawal.
emeraldseahorse 07-11-2006, 12:10 PM well i usually have the tv on and am on the computer i like Blade the series, Janice Dickerson modeling agency, modeling tv show 9th and ocean, i watch jeporady, wheel of fortune,family feud,like to answer questions a lot like i do here,re-runs of X-files, green acres,er,charmed,star trek tng, i like House but keep missing it.watch a lot of court tv like murder mysteries
fos4snt 07-11-2006, 12:36 PM I'm enjoying the heck out of The 4400, but I'm pretty predictable. If it's science fiction, I'm bound to enjoy it. I miss Surface. :( Bummed, big time, about it being canceled. Monday nights on Sci-Fi are now Dark Angel night ~ 4 episodes back to back.
I loved season one, but was disappointed with season 2. Max and Logan were not sposta "get together" ~ in the same way that Mulder and Scully had that lovely sexual tension... them "getting together" marked the end of the X-Files, as it should have.
But The 4400 keeps getting more interesting all the time. :D

Mystique 07-13-2006, 01:32 AM BIG BIG 4400 fan here :p
fos4snt 07-13-2006, 11:49 AM The 4400
So, what the hell, Mystique... is Isabella the angel of death? Or is she going to turn her back on the "bad side" of the future and refuse to do what she was designed to do??
And I missed the episodes where her Mom vanished. Can you clue me into what happened to her Mom??

Lol...aside from the Daily Show, those are my favorite shows.
SilentAngel84 07-14-2006, 12:49 AM Medium (one of the most well written shows on TV and it's very hard to find other people who watch it)
Desperate Housewives
Sopranos (even though this past season was sucky, i am still a fan)
Big Love
Family Guy
Simpson's
Simple Life (lol i have no shame)
Hell's Kitchen (yea, i really am a loser)
fos4snt 07-14-2006, 08:01 AM OoOooOoo... we watched an episode of Medium about 2 weeks ago or so, and after it was over, I said to Litical... "OooOOoo we got another show to watch now!" :cool: It was cool, for sure. It was the episode where her brother came back from the military and she found out he had the same ability. OH, and the guy who played his military cohort... the actor is the guy I absolutely ADORED in Surface. :D
~phos
elle.jay 07-14-2006, 11:09 AM Well, I'm weird I guess...I started watching Project Runway and I'm hooked.

Im not sure what I think just yet Fos. Im not the best person to ask for info at this point.
My boyfriend got me watching the program this new season so Im not up on the whole thing from last season etc and still getting confused over things but I am glued to the set when the program is on.
Heres a good place for info..... and this is the discussion about Isabella

sapphire 07-16-2006, 10:01 AM Deadwood
best western ever-and I don't like westerns
finally, a not sugar-coated version of what the lawless west was most likely really like
drunks and prostitutes and killers
and HBO went and cancelled it
also like Rome, OZ, Biglove
Like Family Guy and South Park, but can't stand commercials so don't bother with Network TV
chikygrl13 07-16-2006, 03:29 PM House is kickass! But Robert Sean Leonard is the honey on that show!
Alton Brown (from Good Eats) is my next husband...
and the one facisnation I just DON"T get is...
"When did reality become TV?" (to quote Bowling for Soup)
jesique 07-17-2006, 11:22 AM Ahhhh Haaa!!!
Alton Brown drives me crazy! I watch the food network at night when I'm bored and sleepy...and I can't stand that show!!!
Although I'd take the Take Home Chef (on TLC) home anyday!!! :D MMMmm
Nadine.
Well, I'm weird I guess...I started watching Project Runway and I'm hooked.
Heidi Klum..........*drool*
fos4snt 07-18-2006, 09:06 AM :confused: I don't get the Klum appeal. She has practically no nose, and its really sharp and pointy. I don't like her features at all and her body is nothing to write home about. She's... blech... especially compared to say... Jessica Alba.
~phos
jesique 07-18-2006, 01:16 PM My favorite TV show is about to start it's second season...
Flavor of Love 2. *grin*
Flaaaaaavor Flaaaaave!!!! :D
I wonder what happened to Hoops though?
Nadine.
elle.jay 08-01-2006, 02:44 PM LOL, Nadine.
Flavor of Love is pretty entertaining, but...Flavor Flave is...GROSS! He is just weird!! Those clocks are not a very appealing fashion accessory.
A new show started last week that I am totally into - DesignStar on HGTV. I'm hoping I'll get to be on that show, one day.
Goldfire 08-01-2006, 02:53 PM I'm not a big fan of reality TV. I watch a lot of comedy which drives my SO crazy sometimes. "Can we watch something serious?!" My response, "We just watched the news! Time for some laughter!"
I like:
The Sopranos
Family Guy
Grey's Anatomy
It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia
The SO digs Boston Legal
I'm hoping the fall lineup brings us some good sitcoms or dramas. I will watch some reality TV like the auditions for "American Idol". Those are usually hilarious.

I watched the Family Guy for the first time last night....two episodes, back to back....I had to finally watch that show because my good buddy Poll thinks that's how all Rhode Islanders are. LOL!!!!
I've watched Boston Legal a few times and I've always liked it every time. I'm not sure why I don't watch it regularly. It must conflict with work or something else that's on.
I like the different Law and Order shows, and I usually watch Medium.
I'll admit it....I'm an American Idol addict. I used to just watch the crazy audition shows. But this last season I was hooked.
And I loved West Wing. I was sorry to see it end. I'm going to check out the new show by the same producers that's starting this Fall. Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford are in it. It looks like it might be good.
Right now I can't think of any sitcom that bowls me over....

Isn't your neighborhood just like the Griffins' block? ;)
Trish 08-02-2006, 02:08 AM Isn't your neighborhood just like the Griffins' block? ;)
No, but I got a kick out of that horny guy....LOL!
I've run into guys like him.... :p But I think they live everywhere.... ;) :D
I saw the episode where the guy was trying to pass his son off as having some disease, and the one where they built the float for the parade.
And, honestly, where I'm living right now, I wish my neighbors were like all those people.
Oh, and I really have gone out on a date with a man who looked like the family guy. He could have been a caricature for the guy....no neck, glasses....looked just like him. LOL!
