Carrie and Danielle: What’s your favourite thing to watch on TV?

  • Linda Borland-Fitzgerald · 1 year ago
    So You Think You Can Dance (U.S.), Mad Men, American/Canadian Idol, Survivor, The Apprentice, Dexter, any of Sarah Richardson's design shows, Relocation-Relocation (British), The Office (U.S.), Lost. I seem to be attracted to quirkiness as well as anything that showcases 'the human condition' -hence, the competitions. I just find them compelling.. watching how people interact with each other and what motivates them, etc. Of course my next favourites will be anything my daughter produces and she has several irons in the fire.. partnering with the likes of 'A' list director, JJ Abrahms.
  • Mary · 1 year ago
    "How I Met Your Mother," "Project Runway," and "Mad Men" are all shows that I set aside time to watch, especially since I don't have a DVR. My roommate and I also got hooked on the trainwreck that was "The Two Coreys."
  • Pickles Oblong · 1 year ago
    I enjoy The Office, Heroes, The Jon Stewart Show, The Colbert Report. I also watch Roseanne reruns, The Simpsons, The Oblongs, neat, and Mission Organization.
  • jennifersage · 1 year ago
    I rarely watch TV but have a weakness for Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. I don't believe for one second it gets done in a day but adore the makeover aspect of it.
    I would love to watch a series on iconic dress designers especially Giorgio Armani well actually just a 2 hour doco on him would be cool.
    big breaking new stories are amazing too. The big Tsunami came just after we finally got CNN and BBC and we were glued for days. The global village aspect of big news stories hold us fascinated.
    If Carrie and Danielle get a TV show I would make TVNZ life hard until they gor it here
  • Karen · 1 year ago
    Global National News and Bones. Oh, and the Rick Mercer Report!

    Unfortunately, North American shows are delayed anywhere from 2 months to 2 years before I can see them over here. And I have to watch my global news and Rick via the internet.

    Why oh why don't the networks let us watch what we want, where we want, when we want?
  • Traci · 1 year ago
    The Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother. But I do prefer TV on DVD. Sitting through a full season on a weekend day is the best way to waste some time when my brain needs a break.
  • jennifersage · 1 year ago
    Have you watched Upstairs Downstairs like this. Its an oldie but a goodie. Spooks, The Darling buds of may (See Catherine Zeta Jones before She became famous).
    Lipstick on your Collar (My personal fave Euan Mc Gregor before he was famous).
    Actually I will max out on this sort of thing commercial free no interupptions
  • Ginger_Laine · 1 year ago
    Traci, that IS the best way to watch a television series, as my brother always reminds me. I watched the entire runs of HBO's "Sex & the City" and "Band of Brothers" and coincidentally, "Upstairs Downstairs", that way several years ago when I was pregnant and then up all night nursing an infant.
  • jennifersage · 1 year ago
    Oh Band of Brother is brilliant, From the haunting music to,well just everything
    Thanks for reminding me, Ginger
  • jennifer · 1 year ago
    We don't actually have cable but that does not stop me from watching new episodes of "Lost" when it is airing. There's something addictive for me about the whole completion of the story line after 6 years thing and especially that unless you watch it regularly it's easy to miss what's going on. But mainly I love it for the adventure and drama and sci-fi and spiritual elements it brings.
  • Laurie · 1 year ago
    PBS Great Performances - especially opera and ballet. British Comedy - As Time Goes By, To the Manor Born (reruns), CBS Sunday Morning - great with a cup of coffee!
  • homedotmade · 1 year ago
    I will watch pretty much anything that's on Bravo, but I'll admit a particular affinity for reality television like Project Runway, Top Design and especially Top Chef! Oh yes, and really well written shows (Buffy, Firefly, Gilmore Girls, Sports Night), but sadly I never seem to find them unless they're not commercially successful or they are already off the air. Then I get to watch them on dvd at my leisure. :-)
  • debbierodgers · 1 year ago
    I don't watch tv - no,really - we haven't had reception for over 3 years. (My husband was addicted to it, so we took drastic measures.) Most of the time, I couldn't care less.

    But in a case like this questions, I feel terribly culturally illiterate. I don't even recognize the names of most of the shows you guys mention, let alone what it's about or what's happening on it.

    <sigh>
  • Joannie · 1 year ago
    That's okay, Debbie. Please don't sigh. I envy you actually!

    Now, would someone please tell me how you got your picture on this post!

    Hi Joannie; when you post, there are three radial choices at the bottom - you should click the one that says Register for Disqus. When you register, they give you the option to paste a picture in from your files. Then, when you post from now in, login and post your comments, and voila, your picture will appear!

    Cindy thanks for reminding me. I feel, Like Duh!!!!!!, Camera illterate, Camera Challenged. It on my list of things to to
    Sometime
  • Jess · 1 year ago
    Love the Office, Gossip Girl (those clothes!), Good Morning America, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert's respective shows, ELLEN! when I get the chance.
    I like the occasional cartoon too when I'm eating cereal on a Saturday :)
  • Ginger · 1 year ago
    tv...my stress reliever and guilty pleasure...I enjoy Grey's Anatomy, The Closer , Damages and Lipstick Jungle which is starting to help fill the big NYC gap left by Sex and the City...Project Runway is addicting...looking forward to the new season of Lost...and here's hoping Jack Bauer's (and the storyline) next 24 hours are better than the last
  • Laura · 1 year ago
    The Closer, and Kyra Sedgewick, are great. We've only been able to get SEason ONe on DVD. Must find the rest of it. Can't seem to find it on TV consistently.
  • fetah · 1 year ago
    Dexter, Mad Men, Weeds, House & Project Runway
  • JoeM · 1 year ago
    Discovery Channel. The Unit, NCIS, and House. I generally watch the shows that have some really dramatic interactions between the characters, but are totally fiction. I think reality shows take advantage of the failings in average people for their thrills, which I have trouble supporting. I absolutely detest shows which "play females as neurotic, self serving, or stupid." Lately, there seems to be too many of them.
  • MelissaM · 1 year ago
    I don't have a TV. But my fiancé and I like to watch some shows on our laptop. We both love The Office (the British version in a one-weekend-marathon and the US version ongoing).... and right now we're rewatching season one of Alias. I love not watching commercials.
  • Kirsty · 1 year ago
    We don't have cable either. So, if and when I get the hankering for TV, I go to the CTV website and stream Grey's Anatomy (although if Meredith keeps up her whining like she did during the season premiere, I'm done).

    Oh, and we stream Grand Slam tennis tournaments.
  • DanielleLaPorte · 1 year ago
    I second that - I've had it with Meredith's neurotic scaredy cat righteous crap . Really, I think McDreamy should have dumped her butt ages ago. He deserves to be worshiped - like everyone does.
  • JulieG · 1 year ago
    The only show I watch on a regular basis is Heroes. My all-time favourite show was Babylon 5, a sci-fi show from the late '90s.

    On the other hand, I currently work as an editor for movie and TV subtitles, so I occasionally catch bits and pieces of many shows, both good and horribly, horribly bad.
  • Jenny · 1 year ago
    Ooh I don't even need to think about this one! Grey's Anatomy, How I Met Your Mother and football! Hands down!
  • Danette · 1 year ago
    Brothers & Sisters, Weeds, Grey's Anatomy, So You Think You Can Dance, Saturday Night Live, The Daily Show and the Colbert Report.

    I also get excited when re-runs of Felicity, Party of Five or the Gilmore Girls come on.

    Loved Studio 60 and was so sad it got canceled.
  • Joannie · 1 year ago
    Two shows I love and hate - Coronation Street, the only soap I watch and House. Can't stand them, can't stay away from them. It's like being addicted to a man who's no good for you.

    I love Grey's Anatomy, lots of stuff on PBS Detroit, CBC Sunday Morning with Carole MacNeil and Evon Solomon, French Food at Home, The Barefoot Contessa, Ricardo, Re-location, Re-location, House Hunters. Reruns of The Sopranos and Crossing Jordan while I eat my breakfast.

    Jeez...I didn't realize just how much TV I do watch.
  • kim · 1 year ago
    I have been sharing a part of my mornings with the Today show for more than 25 years. I
  • CarrieM · 1 year ago
    I check in with the Today Show once a week. I used to have a crush on Matt til I heard he wandered while his wife was pregnant!
  • Jen Spencer · 1 year ago
    I'm a total syndication junkie - House, CSI, Law & Order, Will & Grace. LOVE late night tv. If we get into current shows, I'd have to say 30 Rock. Tina Fey and Alex Baldwin are brilliant!
  • ellabobella · 1 year ago
    Friday Night Lights.

    Watch it. I mean it. Rent the first season on DVD, and you will be blown away. It is one of the most perfect seasons of television of all time.

    With that very important message out of the way - I truly love television. I think there is so much art being produced these days. I can pretty well only watch it on DVD, because I can't handle commercials. Favourite shows: FNL, The Office, 30 Rock, The West Wing, Six Feet Under, Dexter...

    I love TV. Unapologetically.
  • MoJo · 1 year ago
    I agree - there are some incredibly well-written, beautifully styled pieces of work out there. I'm going to get FNL this weekend - thanks!
  • Jen E @ mommablogsalot · 1 year ago
    Grey's Anatomy and Bones are my big two - can't get enough!
  • Leah Graves · 1 year ago
    Dr. Who, Battlestar Galactica (the new versions of both), Californication, Rescue Me, Lost, Heroes...and Red Sox games. :)
  • candis · 1 year ago
    Don't watch any TV- Once a year if there is a music/biography/documentary on that Tim gives me the heads up on I'll watch that but "ces't tout"
  • Ginger_Laine · 1 year ago
    When the TV is on, 99% of the time it will be set to a children's channel such as Disney, Noggin, Sprout or early morning PBS. My favorite show is "Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks". That Irish pig is always up to something!

    The only time I regularly sit down to watch TV is Sunday night when I allow an indulgence in PBS' "Masterpiece Theatre" after my daughter has gone to bed. That's "Me Time" when I have a glass of wine and give myself a manicure. I loved The Complete Jane Austen series earlier this year. When we subscribed to HBO, "Real Time with Bill Maher" was a must watch. I have followed Sci Fi's "Battlestar Gallactica" as well, a surprisingly compelling drama, and have watched "Lost" here and there. Other than that, it is channel surfing when a free moment arises. I wish I could sit around and watch the History Channel and Food Network as I pleased!

    I did have one very guilty pleasure earlier this year: Bravo's "Make Me a Supermodel" ... I stumbled across it and was absolutely fascinated with and charmed by some of the contestants. Bravo shows have the ability to hook you from a curious distance and reel you in.
  • Diane · 1 year ago
    The new HBO series True Blood, Grey's Anatomy, How I Met Your Mother.
    Friends and Sex and the City reruns. Somehow those never get old.
  • Amy Guth · 1 year ago
    The SImpsons, an sort of how-to program, and documentaries. I love Nova, discovery channel, travel documentaries and the like.
  • Tabitha · 1 year ago
    Friends will go down as my all-time favorite show. Followed (in no particular order) by The Simpsons, Family Guy, The Office, Animaniacs, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders show, The Wire, The Soup... I love TV
  • Kelly · 1 year ago
    Now that I have a TV (it has been 18+ months), I look forward to watching -
    The Katherine Tate Show
    Little Britain
    Hockey Night in Canada
  • Rushmi · 1 year ago
    I have a secret obbession with General Hospital. I record - and watch it in the evennings when the house is all quite. Mad Men - West Wing (in repeats) - and Sunday night folding laundry and watchiing Desperate Housewives...and don't tell my husband, but I actually DO like watching Tennis with him - I love to complain how boring it is, but I really love it!
  • Ellen · 1 year ago
    House. Turner Classic Movies. Alabama football (at last!). Otherwise, our tv is rarely on.
  • Ginger_Laine · 1 year ago
    Roll Tide!
  • Cindy - Creative Classic · 1 year ago
    "Mad Men", "Desperate Housewives", "Grey's Anatomy", "Nip/Tuck", and "The Tudors". I love the quirkiness, originality, and just sheer fun entertainment value of these shows.
  • LaKecia · 1 year ago
    How I Met Your Mother, Grey's Anatomy, The Ghost Whisperer, What Not To Wear
  • Leah Graves · 1 year ago
    I LOVE What Not to Wear.

    I heard a live interview this morning on the radio about Clinton and the new book he's written. It sounds great!!
  • Licarrit · 1 year ago
    Mad Men, White Sox baseball, liberal media
  • Lucy · 1 year ago
    Don't have a TV. I lived in Europe for three years, and just stopped watching - never recovered the habit. Sometimes I watch "The Daily Show" online. Otherwise I rent old movies to watch on my laptop. Like DebbieRodgers, I feel culturally illiterate in a conversation like this one or when I'm with friends or co-workers who are discussing a current show. BUT - I get a lot more time for reading! And if forced to choose between TV and a book, I choose the book...
  • Katasha · 1 year ago
    The news. . .any news, Intervention and First 48.

    I know. . .I'm a nerd.
  • colette · 1 year ago
    Clouds. That was the first thing that came to my mind.
  • CarrieM · 1 year ago
    lovely Colette
  • Michelle · 1 year ago
    Monarch of the Glen on PBS Detroit, Fabulous BBC series set in modern rurual Scotland.
  • Kristin_The_Goat · 1 year ago
    My favorite thing to watch on TV is "John Edward - Cross Country" he is a medium. I usually record the show and watch it by myself because I just sob through the whole thing. A good sob.

    I also really enjoy the reality stuff - Survivor, Amazing Race, Extreme Makeover - Home Edition. I am totally into design shows, too. My very very favorite was the BBC production called "Changing Rooms."
  • weezie · 1 year ago
    TV is my guiltiest pleasure! But let me prefacet this by saying I don't actually "watch" TV - I listen to it while I'm doing other things. I love all the reality shows on Bravo and Fox, Dramedies like Gray's Anatomy and Boston Legal, British imports, adventure stories like Lost, Heroes, and Prison Break, family sagas like Brothers & Sisters and Friday Night Lights and most especially The Sopranos, The Food Network and HGTV, even the daytime judge shows, The Today Show, and The View. My 80% SS word is sophisticated, but you sure couldn't tell that from the TV I watch. Thank Heaven for Tivo!
  • KellyW · 1 year ago
    Life and Grey's Anatomy without fail. And yes, Danielle, I will sit and watch Family Jewels too. Gene SImmons' family cracks me up. I also watch Lipstick Jungle if I happen to catch it.
  • Daniel Gibbons · 1 year ago
    Mad Men is still my top US show, and like Carrie I'm also a big fan of 30 Rock. However, number one overall has to be Gavin and Stacey, a brilliantly funny and quirky British comedy.
  • Melissa · 1 year ago
    Mad Men, the best! Other escapism: Lipstick Jungle, Private Practice, The Office and I'll admit it: X-files reruns. The only reality shows that I can really get into are So You Think You Can Dance, and The Amazing Race.
  • Kim · 1 year ago
    House and Bones. And anything dealing with the upcoming election...
  • MoJo · 1 year ago
    Well - as others have mentioned, my hubby and I usually rent the entire season of a show when it comes out on disk, and end up staying up til the wee hours of the morning as we polish off a season in a few days - I adore TV this way (and should probably look into getting that recorder box thingy-ma-jig). Some of my favorites: Six Feet Under, Weeds, Mad Men, Grey's Anatomy, Dexter, Heroes, House and 24.

    For regular 'real time' TV, I usually only manage to catch Jon Stewart and the Colbert Report (and have seen most of the Family Jewels shows too). Now, for the really embarrassing part - in the past few months, the only thing we manage to sit down and make a point of seeing is....The Hills. I can't explain why, and I'm not sure I really want to know. But there, it's out, I've said it...(blush).
  • Ngonzi Truth Crushshon · 1 year ago
    GREY'S ANATOMY, PRIVATE PRACTICE, ONE TREE HILL, GIRLFRIENDS (before it went off the air), BERNIE MAC SHOW, 24 w Jack Bauer......I love them all!!!
  • Shelly · 1 year ago
    I also watch Grey's Anatomy - it's the one show I never miss. The others I enjoy are The Cleaner, House, CFL and NFL football and I also love Style by Jury. I have to say I've never thought about streaming from the internet - that's an interesting idea. My wish list includes a PVR so I can watch the shows I like when it fits my schedule.
  • Ava · 1 year ago
    Doctor Who, BBC's Robin Hood series, Heroes, True Blood, Torchwood, and superhero cartoons(which I watch with my mom). Old good movies. New good movies. Overall, though, I don't watch much tv...I'm at least half a season behind on most of that first batch, and it's not terribly high on my to-do list.
  • marn · 1 year ago
    I am always a sucker for re-runs of Friends & Seinfeld.
    ANY good comedian is tops with me.
    Love Greys Anatomy & the Amazing Race too.
    I don't have extended cable, but when I can, I will watch Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, or What not to Wear.
  • Susie Hutchinson · 1 year ago
    I'm a junkie o where to start!! Californication, Gavin & Stacey, Thirty Rock, Location, Location, Location, and my favourite of all time, Absolutely Fabulous.
  • CarrieM · 1 year ago
    Oh yes, Absolutely Fabulous! It's hilarious.
  • Carolynn · 1 year ago
    I've found in the past year that I have very little time and even less patience for tv. I don't have cable tv and I won't adjust my schedule to catch a program. That said, there are two shows that I do enjoy - CSI (all of them except Miami - Yuk!), and Criminal Minds. If you see a theme here, you'd be right. I have a fascination with the workings of the criminal mind and, once upon a time I wanted to be criminal profiler, so these are both right up my dark alley.
  • Vanessa Rae · 1 year ago
    I enjoy TV on Wednesday and Thursday nights. America's Next Top Model, Project Runway, Top Design. Grey's Anatomy on Thursday! And my husband an I occasionally enjoy Man vs. Wild, the History and Science channels. I would like to say that we never watch TV but after a long day I can't find anything wrong with zoning into good, easy entertainment. But a good book would over rule all of the above!
  • Mackenzie · 1 year ago
    'Deadliest Catch' on Discovery Channel. I can't explain why the behind the scenes of Alaskan crab fishing is fascinating but it is! I highly recommend it.
  • DanielleLaPorte · 1 year ago
    yes, it's an unbelievable show. Reality TV at it's best. Those men (and the film crew!) are amazingly-crazy and tough.
  • stella · 1 year ago
    Dexter and Mad Men all the way.
  • kerrymac · 1 year ago
    I thought I was over Grey's but I'm hooked again, also love Private Practice and Lipstick Jungle when I remember! As for daytime, as I work from home I will usually check what Oprah and Martha are doing that day and watch them maybe once a week. I do enjoy watching the Great Canadian Food Show though sometimes when I eat my lunch as the host Carlo Roto is delicious! He's sexy and witty one of my pretend boyfriends!
    www.snickerdoodles.typepad.com
    p.s. Danielle, don't be ashamed of Gene (he lives up here now by the way) I got kinda hooked on the Rock of Love one with Brett Michaels last year! I guess it was the inner rocker in me.
  • Get Togetha · 1 year ago
    HGTV is my crack.

    What Not to Wear.
    Queer Eye.

    Anything that includes a makeover.
  • jennifersage · 1 year ago
    What is it with the makeovers. They are so compelling. I have not seen the USA version of what not to wear but saw a book by Clinton ans Stacey (did I get those names right). They appealled to me straight away. I do not like the Brit version of what not to wear at all. Those to women are such vipers.
    some friends of mine told me to watch Gok someone (he is Brit )and he seemed quicky and very gentle with the women. I think I saw a couple and then it finshed
  • textimage · 1 year ago
    I still mourn the end of 5 amazing shows: Six Feet Under, Deadwood, The Wire, Arrested Development and Freaks & Geeks. Now that we gobbled up all these DVDs in toto, we are begining to be hooked by The Office (but that Michael Scott is deplorable, and not in a ha-ha way) and 30 Rock. Looking forward to the return of Lost as well.
  • Tammy_D · 1 year ago
    I am a self-admitted TV junkie! My favorites are (in no particular order): Battlestar Galactica, Lost, Weeds, Californication, a new show on HBO called TrueBlood (I just can't resist sci-fi/ fantasy shows- as long as they're well done- though the jury is still out on TrueBlood- so far it's pretty good and very sexy), Law and Order SVU, the Daily Show with John Stewart, Real Time with Bill Mahr, and (OMG! I'm such a grown-up now) 60 Minutes. I find that CNN has been ruling my life lately too, with all the political coverage. Oh, and we LOVED So You Think You Can Dance this past summer.
  • Katie Kay · 1 year ago
    Tammy ~ You and I should be huddled around a bowl of popcorn everynight together, I love Californication and Weeds and just about every show you mentioned. I going into mourning when "So you think you can dance" is over for the season, UGH!
  • Kristen · 1 year ago
    Tammy D and Katie Kay.....I'll bring the popcorn for Californication...loved the last episode with the bald guy in the lobster bib!!!
  • ChaseLisbeth · 1 year ago
    I cancelled my cable, in a budget-conscious moment. I've been missing the Red Sox, but have gone old school and listen to the games on the radio.

    The one TV-related thing I can't live without, apparently, is the Daily Show. I watch it every morning online. So worth it.
  • laurie_matthews · 1 year ago
    I'm a huge Red Sox fan and actually prefer to listen to games on the radio (or internet now that I'm not living in Boston anymore). It reminds me of hot humid summer nights in my apartment when you didn't want to turn on any lights so I'd sit on my porch and listen to the game with the glow of Fenway Park in the distance.
  • ChaseLisbeth · 1 year ago
    There's something magical about the Red Sox on the radio, it's true. One of my favorite summertime memories is listening to the game while driving up to the coast of Maine, late some Friday evening, changing stations every hour or so to keep the signal strong....
  • G Wally · 1 year ago
    Score another point for Charlie Rose.
    I also love Bill Maher's HBO show.
    And I am still mourning the fact that The Sopranos is no longer on. Nothing else comes close. Also really liked Rome.
    Love the PBS series on Mario Batali in Spain. Also anything with Jamie Oliver.
  • Dena · 1 year ago
    Coronation Street - addicted. Holmes on Homes - have a major crush on that guy, he's just so nice! Dancing with the Stars and America's Got Talent. British murder mysteries!
  • Katie Kay · 1 year ago
    Weeds, Entourage, So you think you can dance, Oprah when Dr.Oz is on, Grey's Anatomy, What not to wear, American Idol, Project Runway, Top Design, Shear Genius. I like the reality shows that showcase people being creative and using their talent, it gives me inspiration.
  • laurie_matthews · 1 year ago
    I rarely watch anything live these days - it's DVR all the way. It actually means the difference between watching anything or nothing since my schedule is a bit erratic. I love Mad Men, Gossip Girl, Lost, Entourage and The Hills.

  • Laura · 1 year ago
    DEADWOOD on DVD. We are up to disc 3 in the last (3rd) season and not looking forward to seeing the last episode. Fabulous dialogue, wonderful acting and a reminder that some things really haven't changed all that much since 1876 when it comes to industry, development, politics and power.


    Also love Mad Men and Dexter and all the dancing shows that make me want to dance.
  • JoannieJ · 1 year ago
    Thanks Cindy.

    I love Pushing Daisies. The technicolor, retro costuming with a modern edge, quirky sets and great makeup, and the colors...I already said that. I just watch it because it's yummy to see.
  • Domestic Miss · 1 year ago
    I haven't got a TV, I like to read, write, horse ride and many other things, I wouldn't know what to do with a TV if I had one, except, perhaps, dusting it! I do however love some TV shows which I watch on DVD (on a computer screen if you want to know...). My favourite one is Red Dwarf from the BBC. It is super-funny, with not-so-subtle class digs in perfect British tradition. You can get to know more about it here: www.reddwarf.co.uk I also love The Jeffersons (also on DVD) which I particularly adored watching when I was a small child...!
  • Constance · 1 year ago
    Charlie Rose; Boston Legal; ER; Daily Show/Colbert Report; late nights if they have good guests; Project Runway and Top Chef and JEOPARDY, plus good movies on cable.
  • Lori_from_Texas · 1 year ago
    I'm a sucker for America's Next Top Model...I love to watch the girls "become." I also love the creativity and whimsy put into the show. It's entertaining and a great study in discovering who you are, becoming who you are, and learning to shine & stand out in a crowd.

    to quote someone famous "I stopped watching television when people started putting leeches down their pants"
  • Cobby · 1 year ago
    My favorite is Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations. TiVo is the best thing since sliced bread because it lets me watch Oprah, Weeds, Dexter, Project Runway, The Daily Show, Colbert Report, Absolutely Fabulous, Top Gear, the CSI franchise and lots of other stuff on my own terms, in my own time without the intrusion of commercials. I really watch too much television.
  • Lainey · 1 year ago
    Drama: Supernatural...great story and eye-candy galore and I'm diggin' JJ Abrams new series, the Fringe. (I would probably agree on Lost and Heroes, but I haven't gotten around to renting the DVD's yet).

    Comedy How I Met your Mother, Flight of the Conchords, The Daily Show

    Reality: So you think you can Dance (Canadian version is looking good too!!)

    Talk show: Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson, The Hour

    ...yes I watch waaay to much TV!
  • Elena · 1 year ago
    I don't have a TV right now, so i might watch other stuff if i were better exposed, but my sister and i pulled up at 3 or 4 hours worth of So You think You Can Dance routines on youtube not long ago, and now I am really mourning the fact that i can't easily watch the new Canadian version. Also, when i'm in a bummer mood, or just need a little r&r and inexplicable brain candy, I watch Sex and the City on my computer.

    I'd say Pro Beach Volleyball, but that was trumped by Misty May-Treanor's short-lived appearance on 'Dancing with the Stars'. i'm just heartbroken that she had to withdraw!
  • lisasonrisa · 1 year ago
    The Office, 30 Rock, and some guilty pleasure reality shows, such as Project Runway, The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency, Top Design. I also love the absurd comedy of Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!

    If there were a Masterpiece Theatre channel, I'd be watching that all the time, too!
  • melissafrykmanthieme · 1 year ago
    I'm not so concerned with unusually tall women with retarded secondary sex characteristics, I'm more interested in HUMOR. One of the BEST in my memory was "Green Line" a British series set in a hospital, staffed with very peculiar. bizarre folks. Another couple of favorites are Boys in the Hall, and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Then there's always the Office- and what day would be complete without Jon Stewart on The Daily Show and the self-effacing Stephen Colbert? Hahahahaha!

    Since my second word is "Wit", I can almost always find humor in everything, even unusually tall women with retarded secondary sex characteristics. :)

    I didn't even include all my favorite UK comedies - Peep Show, That Mitchell and Webb Look, Ab Fab, Monty Python... Brits are comic geniuses.

    Oh, and I think you meant to say KIDS in the Hall, not BOYS, right? Gotta love those guys, too!

    I just find them compelling.. watching how people interact with each other and what motivates them, etc
