    I'm not sure if its new or not but that show Aquarius is pretty interesting. I kinda like American Ninja Warrior also.

    Best reality shows of all time: Rusian fail and stupid driver videos from Utube. Seriosly, no one on earth drives as bad as the Russians.....

    Not a big TV watcher, just a few shows and sometimes catch a movie. Usually classic movies.

    Sports: Oakland A's baseball (except when they suck); Blazers games when they're on in Bay Area. Used to religiously watch SportsCenter but it has lost its charm for me.
    Favorite commentary: Rachel Maddow Show. I have a terrific crush on her, sadly for me but happily for her, she's married to someone else.
    Guilty pleasure: Law & Order SVU marathons.
    Foodie shows: America's Test Kitchen, Check Please Bay Area (where 3 "regular" folks, not food critics, each name their favorite restaurant, all 3 try it then go on TV and assess. Found some good places to eat from that show)

    It's a toss up between the emergency test pattern or the twighlight zone.

    My kids love ANW, so I only watch it when they get to watch TV (which isn't too often).

    I DVR'd Aquarius not knowing what it was about. I started to get my wife to watch it, but then she immediately remembered that it was Manson related, and refused to give it another second. I've finished the pilot, and I'll probably watch the rest of the season, but I'm not sure how interested I really am in the show.

    Just finished with Sense8, holy shit, I thought it was great! It's interesting, the national critics are hating it. Just crapping all over it.

    Anyway, it's very detailed in the character development but that's what makes the show interesting. I realize it isn't for everyone but it's one of the most original scifi shows to come out in years.

    I'm giving it a 9/10, IMDB has it at a 8.4.

    Oddly, Orange is the New Black season 3 is only HD and the audio is stereo (not 5.1).

    Started incredible but the finale was horrendous. Not unlike Lost.

    Completely agree. Woody and Matt did a great job acting. But the ending was underwhelming

    If you haven't seen it yet the best show by far last year was Fargo.
