Personally, I can't stand reality TV. I think it's corporations saving a buck on quality programming and entertainers and pawning off on us cheap productions and uninteresting content. I find myself drawn to shows that have big stars and particularly actors who've been in the movies or on the stage. Or shows with big budget effects. I'm also good with quality production and upcoming actors. Aside from sports, of course. So my kinds of shows are: Boston Legal (of course!) Two and a Half Men House Sara Connor Chronicles Stargate SG-1/Atlantis Eureka Battlestar Gallactica ER Grey's Anatomy My Name is Earl Mythbusters The Closer CSI/any Entourage The Unit Men in Trees New shows: Raising the Bar is good so far Fringe Two shows I never got into but should have are Lost and 24. In both cases, I missed the first few episodes and figured I wanted to catch up on DVD rather than start watching in the middle. Lost is being run on SciFi now, so I intend to start watching it from the beginning (DVR rules). I also am addicted to networks like the History Channel and the Science Channel, especially the astronomy and space programs. Then of course, there's the fact that the shows I really like the most seem to get canceled. Like the Sopranos or Deadwood or Rome or Stargate SG-1 (and soon Atlantis) or Battlestar or Jerhico or Surface or E-Ring. Not sure if The Unit is coming back. This is also the last season of ER and Boston Legal. How about you?
I'm big into these shows Lost Two and a Half Men How I Met Your Mother The Office Big Brother Forensic Files Rob and Big Cold Case
For the past 8-10 years, I've largely lost interest in most TV (Scrubs was a notable exception for a few years), but I do still enjoy things on the History channel and Science channel. Some of my recent favourite series: The Universe Engineering An Empire Prehistoric Predators American Eats Roman Emperors Jurassic Fight Club One HBO show that I want to see sometime (on DVD, I guess) is Rome. It seems like quite an interesting history-based (though loosely) drama.
My favorite TV shows: My most favorite shows: Lost Dexter Reaper I have to admit I love some reality shows: My 3 favorite reality shows are Survivor, Big Brother and The Amazing Race. Shows I just sort of like: Heroes Bones Supernatural The Closer I also liked the new show Fringe. The Fringe first episode Pilot was just ok but the second episode last night was great IMO. I read where the later episodes are a lot better then the pilot. The new show that I'm most exited about is Dollhouse which won't start until mid season. The shows that I liked and shouldn't have been cancelled was Firefly.
Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, King of the Hill, Malcolm in the Middle, House, I Love Money, Countdown, Hardball, Dateline NBC stuff.
TV makes me go insane. If I'm watching it, it's going to either be Lost, the daily show, Futurama, the Venture Brothers, antiques roadshow (hahaha) or sports. Mostly Lost.
My son and I are nuts over Prison Break. We saw a couple of the first few shows then missed almost all of the rest of the first season. Then we ended up catching an episode out of sequence and going online and ordering from itunes all the episodes and subscribing so we'd be sure to get any new ones. So we had a marathon and watched them all in a couple of days and now have a regular thing on Mondays where we watch together. If you have a favorite show or one that you think you'd like to catch up on...itunes is a great way to do it.
Daily show, scrubs, Colbert report, South Park, Robot Chicken, family guy, VENTURE BROS!!, and a long list of anime...
24 (best show on tv, hands down) Scrubs Law and Order: SVU Boondocks Live at Gotham South Park I want to work for Diddy too many more to name...
How I Met Your Mother Blazers Basketball If it wasn't for NBA League Pass, I wouldn't have DirectTV at all.
I only shows I watch religiously are Curb Your Enthusiasm and Entourage. The Wire is my favorite show of all-time, and I still watch it on DVD occasionally.
NCIS Criminal Minds The Simpsons Dr. Who? Last of the Summer Wine Stargate: Atlantis America's Test Kitchen Trailblazer Away Games
Survivor & Ice Road Truckers are pretty good. I love the reality stuff. I'll watch Nancy Grace if she's on...
