Fun Topic this week - Favorite TV show...

[mlm668]

In no particular order -

Supernatural
House
Law & Order (all three)
Criminal Minds
The Closer
Bones
NCIS
Smallville
Gilmore Girls
Without A Trace
Young & the Restless (thank God for the DVR)
Hex (BBC America)

I'm sure there are a few more, but they aren't coming to mind right now.  Can you tell I'm a drama junkie???

I'm looking forward to all of the premiers this week, but next week is going to be difficult as House, Gilmore Girls and NCIS are all on at the same time and the DVR only allows recording of two channels one of which you have to watch.  However, if Gibbs doesn't come back as a regular on NCIS, I'll probably drop that one.  And CW's new show Runaway looks like of interesting.  I'll watch the first episode to see if Donnie Wahlberg does a decent job.  He did pretty good in The Path to 9/11 - surprised me to be honest.  I'm really looking forward to Criminal Minds this week to find out what happens to Elle and Supernatural next week (I wanted to cry at the season finale just because the car was messed up).

So far the new shows I've watch haven't been bad but they aren't all that good either.  I'm just glad that the reality shows are paring down - I have never been a fan and Lord help my children if I catch them watching one.  I refuse to support a shows that encourages people to mistreat others and act like trash.

I like many of the same shows as Michelle.

Criminal Minds
Law and Order - all three
Monk
Closer
CSI - the orignial don't care for Miami or New York

And since it is that time of year - Football - preferably any college game but I never miss watching Notre Dame or Nebraska - my two favorite teams.  Yes - I know they both lost last week.  Then there is the Tampa Bay Bucks who also lost last week.

Is it just me or are others seeing a trend in those who are responding?  For the most part, we appear to be drama folks, with some humor thrown in to keep us from going over the edge.  Could it be that anything less is boring after our jobs?  I mean, we do so much during the regular day, juggle so many duties and the need to make them look effortless, etc...  So that when we get home, we need that same adrenaline to keep us going?  Just a theory.

Very possible CG, I'm also in that category.  Love Law & Order, CSI, Criminal Minds and Numb3rs.  I will still watch Friends re-runs even though I've seen every episode, I miss that show!

[diamondlady]

Not me, I find that anything relaxing is good, and that's why I love the makovers and the home improvement shows good, they take my mind off of work stuff, and into something I can loose everything into.  Keeps me sane, when I'm not in the pumpkin patch, for now.

Lately, since I've been getting older I've noticed that I fall asleep watching TV if I'm up much later than 10pm!  I like to make it a point to watch a lot of shows, and use the summer re-run season to catch those that come on at the same time as others I like to watch.  I love House, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Dancing with the Stars, and American Idol, but this summer got hooked on My Name is Earl and The Office.  I used to watch Lost faithfully, but the plots got a little too much for me.  And of course, I watch the Young and the Restless with my co-workers during our lunch hour, and tape All My Children to watch at home.  Oh, and I also love Piimp My Ride when I can catch it, along with Mythbusters.  And MadTV reruns on Comedy Central.  Also love old movies on TCM and AMC.  

Oh my god, I sound like I have absolutely no life!

5.  Roseanne re-runs
6.  American Justice, City Confidential, Cold Case Files (all on A&E channel)
7.  What my sweetie and I refer to as "the British comedies" - reruns of "As Time Goes By", "Keeping Up Appearances", "Are You Being Served", and "Waiting for God".  We get these on PBS and sometimes on BBC America.  Wish I could afford to buy the DVD's of all of these so I could watch them any time I want!

Ooo, I forgot about My Name Is Earl. Also, Two and a Half Men, and How I Met Your Mother.

Yc1,

Give Bones a looksee - David Boreanaz is one of the main characters and why I watched the premiere.

My daughter likes Spike too and was really tickled when James Marsters was Dr. Fine on Smallville last season.  I thought it was funny to hear him talk without the accent.

Does anyone else remember Giles from Buffy being in those Taster's Choice commercials way back when?

Ya know, this makes me wonder... are we really lacking in comedies on TV, or is it just a change in tastes? Hmmm...

As for me, anything Star Trek, especially Riker - I mean The Next Generation - and Voyager.

I go out of my way to watch very few things. We don't record anything, or we'd be sitting around watching tapes constantly. I really miss Alias. I also miss Alien Nation (anyone remember that one - had to have been 10 years ago!).

The only thing I really try to catch right now is House. Last TV season it was The 4400. But I'll watch CSI or Law & Order when I get home just about daily because it's on and I'm too unmotivated to do anything around the house.

I particularly enjoyed Voyager, lost trying to get their way home, excellent!  And having a borg on board too, really sweet.  Good way to spice thinigs up, course hubby actually liked the actress, Jeri Ryan.  Also liked Next Gen, I grew up on that one.  Didn't care for Enterprise at all.  I liked Scott Backula but not as captain of the Enterprise.  Just did not go well.

Lots of good shows I forgot about, we watch Monk once in a while.  Anything on Spike of course.  TCM are always good.

Football season, when I remember to watch.  I'm in the pool at work but don't even watch the games.  LOL!

I was wondering what about our viewers from non english speaking countires, Germany, France and the many others?  What about you?

[masaba]

yes! I agree, sports is great to watch.  My favorite now is  the English premiership.  I still love cartoons too, victor and hugo have been my best cartoons.  I wish they could be aired on TV once more.

[queenbean]

Isn't it ironic how here in the UK we're fans of a lot of the American shows, and the guys in the US are enjoying the old British comedies?
