Bones (cuz David Boreanaz is totally cute)

The Listener (cuz Craig Olejnik is totally cute)

Sounds like my wife.

She's recently added a NCIS addiction to her other faves

(and, btw, to the extent I find guys "hot" - I strongly agree with you re Mark Harmon)

Do you watch "Castle"? There's a crime story with a hunky lead for ya....plus a great sense of humor.

I hear Bones is of a similar vein.

Anyway, my current list of things I make a point to see, in rough order of how not-willing I am to miss them:

Castle
FlashForward
Stargate: Universe (excellent cast)
Heroes (despite its flaws)
Fringe (Joshua Jackson fascinates me too though he's underused)
Smallville (just cause I'm a comic book geek)

And, when they are on, Lost and 24


All time?

Star Trek/ ST:DS9

Firefly - and a slew of other "canceled-too-soon" shows
including "Nowhere Man", "Harsh Relm", "Legend", American Gothic" and many more

The Rockford Files

The Greatest American hero

Moonlighting

and many more

Among half hour comedies...

NewsRadio, Taxi, WKRP, Benson, Dick Van Dyke, Everybody Hates Chris, SportsNite, Night Court, and so many others.

Also throw in The Carol Burnett Show for good measure.

And this thread will no doubt be filled with head-slappers that make me say "how could I have forgotten THAT one?"

A lot of the programmes I like aren't made anymore (Buffy, X Files, Friends, Frasier, Will & Grace), but many still are. My favourites nowadays (I actually watch DVDs more than television nowadays) -

24
NCIS
FlashForward
Tru Blood
Medium
House
Scrubs

UK programmes I like include Peep Show, the Inbetweeners and the IT Crowd.

Oh Heather,

I like NCIS because it is intelligently portrayed and every once
in a while it gives me a glimpse of my beloved Tidewater, Virginia.
I love the character "Abby" played by Pauley Perrette, who is
"The Real Deal" as far as criminal science is concerned.
Even more so she is a real human being, not an empty
shell as you would expect to come out of Hollywood.

these portyals are so far removed from the truth it is embarrassing. She is cute but lordie the factuality is terrible.

- Anyone seen Jonathan Creek ? Now that's fun.

Cindy

Buffy the Vampire Slayer and especially the spinoff, Angel. Actually, I think Angel was better but I've always rooted for the vampires so I guess that's a given.

Quote from: heatherrose on October 21, 2009, 05:00:37 AM

I said intelligently, not truthfully. :icon_mrhappy: Pauley on the other hand
is for real. She attended Valdosta State University, in Valdosta, Georgia, U.S.
and received a masters degree in Criminal Sciences. She is an outspoken supporter
of gender rights and puts her money and efforts where her mouth is,
as an altruistic human activist. She is a published poet, author and vocal artist and
.... I think she is cute as ALL GET OUT.

I dunno from science but that video you linked was nails.

I just became a fan of her as a person, regardless of anything else

(and yes, she pegs the cuteness meter too!)

House

Family Guy

Blackadder

Arrested Development Now cancelled :(

Lost

Keeping up with the Kardashians I fancy kim

Jay

Damn Straight, Pica. Damn straight.

The Doctor all the way.  It isn't on in the states other then cable.


Janet

Yeah Angel is way cuter than Buffy, lol. I actually watched that series first, and have been slowly working on Buffy and it's causing a lot of mental stress seeing him be a bad vampire. It causes me more stress to watch him simper over that Deschanel floosy though, he needs to just bite her and be done with it.

Oldies but goodies...

:D

Seinfeld, Trailer Park Boys and Arrested Development. As for shows that are still running, Dexter is pretty awesome.

hahaha I completely agree!

I'm kinda over David Boreanaz though. My new TV boyfriend is Simon Baker on "The Mentalist". Just watching him totally makes me feel all melty inside...  >:-)

Television, whats that?

Seriously, Dr. who was on before cable and I watched it on a black and white tv on the front porch all winter long because that is the only way I could even if it did come on at midnight and I had to work.


I no longer have tv, I have internet.

Heroes, Kyle XY, True Blood, 24, Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries

Heroes is the best, but its going off track a bit.. and not as good as it once was. I'm also addicted to True Blood like crazy.

Family guy. everybody loves raymond. I like mr. bean 2  :D :D :D

Law and Order    (Ding Ding)

Cindy

1. Bones
2. NCIS
3. CSI
4. Football
5. 60 minutes
6. Law and Order
7. America's got talent
8. Dancing with the stars

Since discovering I can watch shows on the internet I've watched waaaaaaaaaaay more TV than I should.
Firefly is hands-down my favorite show. I watch NCIS, even though it's not as good as it used to be- the earlier seasons were much better. I also watch Criminal Minds, and Castle (OK, I only watch that because Nathan Fillion is in it...) and I always enjoy watching old X-Files and Star Trek (TOS) episodes.
Someday I'll get around to watching Battlestar Galactica... Boost my nerd resume. :D

Quote from: Laura91 on November 18, 2009, 08:54:54 PM
I'm not a huge TV fan but I do enjoy a few shows like Everybody Loves Raymond, Seinfeld, and The League Of Gentlemen. I have become obsessed with the latter program since I got the DVD boxset.

I remember watching league of gentlemen religiously before going out for a night.

Always will be Buffy.

Lost, NCIS, The Big Bang Theory, Mad Men, True Blood, Lost, Two and a Half Men, Scrubs, Farscape, and Lost.  I've watched a few episodes of Dr. Who and it rocked.. don't know why I don't watch it more.

LOST and Skins are my absolute faves, but Chuck and Misfits both come in as close seconds. Other TV shows I enjoy watching regularly include Dexter and Entourage (it feels a lot like the same plot line just repeated over and over). If I'm just casually watching TV, which is rare, the Food Network (Iron Chef, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, etc.), Discovery Chanel (Mythbusters, Daily Planet, etc.) and OLN (Man vs. Wild, Survivorman, etc.) will do just fine. I really want to start watching some shows my friends have recommended, like Dr. Who, Scrubs, Inbetweeners, Nip Tuck, Freaks and Geeks, as well as How I Met Your Mother.

Edit: I also love Seinfeld, even though I don't watch it anymore. I grew up watching re-runs with my parents (I swear they know every punch-line and episode) and sisters. I tried watching Curb Your Enthusiasm, but I never truly got into it.

HOUSE, M.D.
Grey's Anatomy
Medium
Discovery Health – a lot of different ones on there, especially "Mystery Diagnosis", "Stores of Impact", "Untold Stories of the ER", "Dr. G Medical Examiner" etc.

That's pretty much it... I don't really watch a lot of TV these days lol.

House, Glee, American Dad, The Simpsons, South Park, Seinfeld, Fraiser, Murphy Brown, The Critic, Dr. Katz: Professional Therapist, Dilbert, Mythbusters, Cheers, The Tyra Banks Show, Oprah, Inside the Actor's Studio, The Office, Jeopardy!, Wheel of Fortune, Press Your Luck, The Price is Right, Don't Forget the Lyrics, Let's Make A Deal, Robot Chicken, Moral Orel, Duckman, Blind Date, Saved by the Bell, Quantum Leap.

Bones and Numb3rs are my very favorites, but I also enjoy Medium, Criminal Minds, NCIS, Burn Notice, and White Collar.  I like shows with both mystery and wit.

George Lopez, Malcom in the Middle, Roseanne, Everybody Hates Chris, and (I guess I'll admit it) Wizards of Waverly Place..

Lie to Me and Chuck are must-see-TV for me.  I also like House, Grey's Anatomy, Burn Notice & Glee.

The Simpsons, Robot Chicken, Titan Maximum, The Mighty Boosh, House, Ugly Americans, Sit Down Shut Up, Adventure Time, Noah's Arc, Torchwood, Neighbors from Hell

Vampire Diaries
True Blood
Supernatural
Desperate Housewives

Doctor Who :)  I started watching it in 1979 when Tom Baker ruled the airwaves and my fandom has only increased exponentially every day since then, I'm really looking forward to the new series this spring, I thought the recent christmas special was ok but they overdid the christmas angle far too much for my liking as it got in the way of the story for me

Conan.   No contest on that one.

I saw him on tour last spring :-D

A blank screen with the set turned off is the most interesting show on TV.

I have so many series I like to watch I don't keep up with most anymore. I love Supernatural, NCIS, Law and Order:SVU, Lie to Me and Queer as Folk. I have also been keeping up with Hellcats, but I only started watching because of Gale Harold.

Mythbusters.

It's educational, entertaining, and occasionally you'll learn something really bizarre.  For example, who would have thought that being "a bull in a China shop" is actually a good thing?

Quote from: FairyGirl on September 26, 2009, 12:30:13 PM
Dollhouse, just because I'm a diehard Joss Whedon fan

YES! Love Joss Whedon!

My favorites are:
Firefly
Dexter
How I met your mother
It's always sunny in Philadelphia

House is definitely my favourite, but that's because I don't watch the telly too often. I'm mostly on my computer. x3

L.O.S.T < Hands down.

Maybe I'm the only one but, I love to see deperate housewifes, and of course house.

At the moment, I'm working my way at ludicrous speed through the seasons of The L Word, releasing my inner lesbian :).

Fringe followed by Bones and Off the Map

Fringe followed by Bones and Off the Map

Fringe is amazing  :)

I never used to watch TV at all, but just recently I've found myself a bit hooked to Come Dine With Me!

The past couple of weeks, I've also been watching (and legitimately impressed by) The Walking Dead. Whoda thunk it, quality programming DOES exist! :o

Hyenateeth,
I'm a fan on Come Dine With Me, i'll admit it is addicting.
Walking Dead is surprisingly good, i managed to finish it before i returned to England.

Been watching The Avengers on DVD :)  Very good series with a nice surreal twist at times :)

Pushing Daisies hands down

Lee,
Thanks for reminding me of that show. I can't believe it got cancelled  :(

Yeah, it broke my heart when I found out.  What little they made is great, though.

They do it all the time; one great show that you get attached to & it then gets axed. Reaper was another great show :/

I'm glad that both Being Human's have been renewed :)

I haven't bothered with Being Human (UK) as i lost interest. Becoming Human(?),the teenage spinoff one, was really decent though.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  Forever!

Avatar: The last airbender. Dont know how long Its been running though.

I am a bit obsessed with Criminal Minds and have a huge crush on Paget Brewster who plays Emily Prentiss!

(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi6.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fy217%2Fmjnet%2Fcriminal%2520minds%2FEmily_Prentiss_by_shaych03.jpg&hash=f3b056f931ef45daa6ebf36a3e3ac3c714d7065a)

I also like, Bones, CSI NY, Heroes, Lost, STTNG, ST Voyager, ST DS9, Babylon 5, Castle, Burn Notice. The crime channel.
Fave comedy series is The Golden Girls. Also like Ellen.
I used to love Dallas and Knots Landing, Buck Rogers, growing up.

oh I forgot, JAG and NCIS. Oh and The L Word! I also enjoyed the short lived new V series and Threshold.

I have recently gotten back into The Doctor and Torchwood.  And I have been intrigued with Falling skies.

And
Eureka and Warehouse 13.

i am forever in love with Degrassi, i also enjoy anything disney channel, cash cab, and charmed. i dont watch much other than disney channel or teennick but disney channel is getting all new shows and they suck

Too hard to call my favorite of all time, but my fav that's still airing is Grey's Anatomy.

As NB said, love Criminal Minds, also NCIS, CSI *but not Miami, I mean what is the like of David Caruso as an actor people have - bloke can't act to save his life!*

Erm, a number of different UK dramas that are no longer airing, Bad Girls being one. Also a show that didn't get the credit it deserves (imo) and that is - Taking over the asylum - which had Ken Stott and a young David Tennant in. Was dark, funny, sad - you name it, they managed to put it all together. I believe they did repeat it, only briefly on one of the more obscure BBC channels a couple of years ago, and released a DVD. Only really because of David T and his role in Doctor Who. It won critical acclaim though, and I think some Bafta's.

Also watch The Mentalist, as well as Lie to Me - although I've found the latest season a little too staid and predictable. And a lot of sports.

^^^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^^^ :D

My favorite right now is definitely Fringe. I can't wait for the new season to start. I also love Criminal Minds, The Mentalist, Supernatural, and Castle. X-Files is great too; I have the complete series on DVD.

I just know i'll leave some out and think of them later but...

Thundercats (original)
Being Human
Come Dine With Me (the old 5 episode ones, not this hour long one)
True Blood
Farscape
Battlestar Galactica....i quite like Caprica too but it got cancelled :-(
Being Erica
The Walking Dead
The Big Bang Theory
Game of Thrones (words can not express how fab i think that show is!)
Spartacus
The Inbetweeners

I watch far too much telly

X-Files
Deadwood
Breaking Bad
The Oblongs
Star Trek NG
The Prisoner
True Blood
Bonanza
Miami Vice
Farscape

Quote from: Princess Rachel on April 27, 2011, 12:12:53 AM

...Mrs. Peel, we're needed...

Diana Rigg as Emma Peel my favorite ones.

Also note the differences between the BW and Color episodes.

I really liked Friends but not the second Tom Selleck season.    I also liked Frasier, and Charmed and Buffy.   I used to like House until the show's formula became so in your face that despite Hugh Laurie it became largely unwatchable.

Except for a few establishment scenes, Miami CSI is filmed in LA.

If you spell it that way, then Spooks.  Actually, I love a lot of British television.

My fave American show is True Blood.  I couldn't pick which of those two I like more.

I can't get enough Babylon 5!!!

Can I name two, please.

DaVinci's Inquest -- a crime drama about the office of Coroner in Vancouver BC. Aired on CBC from 1998 to 2005, then jumped the shark when it became DaVinci's City Hall

Corner Gas -- a comedy about life in the town of Dog River Saskatchewan. Aired on CTV from 2004 to 2009. Also aired on WGN in the USA

Best stuff anywhere!

Huggles

Toni-Lynn

Eighter My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic or The Big Bang Theory.

Ugly Betty, Adventure Time, Futurama, and Law and Order SVU. And more but I don't feel like thinking about them now.

Currently, Breaking Bad, even though the season is over.

Of all time? Probably Roseanne, AKA the soundtrack to my childhood.

I like Glee, Heroes, Glee, Charmed, Glee, Futurama and Glee.

Did I mention I like Glee btw? ;D

The Colbert Report

Any show that's boring enough to help me get some sleep  :D

If you are not watching "Person of Interest" - what the heck is WRONG with you?

Beverly Hills 90210 or the Simpsons in the 90s.

With the approach of Christmas and the end of ratings, TV here is even more of a wasteland than usual. 

One of the few programs I bother turning it on for is Robson Green's "Extreme Fishing".  If I haven't been fishing for ages, at least I can watch someone else having fun.

I don't watch any "reality" stuff on my own. I'm sometimes in the room when others are watching it. I can't think of a single faux reality show I would willingly choose to watch over turning the damned thing off.

I do like an occasional history or science show even if it's not a rigorous documentary type thing (the stuff the history channel used to do about ancient weapons or such like)  but I'd still watch a scripted series first.

Right now these are the shows i make a point of seeing, in rough order of importance:

1. Person of Interest
2. Fringe (virtual tie with #1)
3. Castle
4. Ringer
5. Terra Nova (started mediocre but coming on of late)
6. Once Upon a Time
7. Grimm
8. Haven
9. Hell on Wheels
10. Justified (starts back in January)
11. The Walking Dead (off until February)

I've never heard of any of these shows. I'm kinda stuck with either very well established or very well regarded or very offensive shows. Basically something has to reach a critical mass of either viewership or fandom for me to hear about it and acquire it.

Breaking bad

Peep show

grand designs

Country house rescue

river monster

and the planet show

1, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9 are in their first season - although PoI is getting very good ratings.

Castle does pretty well in the ratings as well, and if you were by chance a Firefly fan - Castle is Nathan Fillion's show.

if you are not a firefly fan - what the heck is wrong with you?!!?!

Lol Firefly does have some diehard fans. I used to love Buffy, and xfinity has 5 episodes of Firefly, so I guess I'll check it out. See, you just demonstrated what I mean. I never just wander into good shows. I have to be beaten over the head with them. You aren't the first person to say good things about Firefly. :angel:

I never saw the appeal in those kind of shows. I don't even like Stargate.

I love Project Runway.

Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong country, because my current top favorites all air, or used to air,  on BBC America (making them nearly impossible to watch on the actual TV) so I pretty much only watch tv shows online. 

1)Torchwood
2) Dr. Who
3) the inbetweeners
4)bedlam
5)fawlty towers
6) Being Human (hated the american version)

I do watch some American shows though, occasionally
7)Chuck
8)Grimm
9) workaholics

I used to love The Young Ones.

Stargate Atlantis and Stargate SG-1, anything with Stargate in the title I love Scifi. although I tried to watch the Star Trek movie the new one , it just did not hold my attention I got bored for some reason.
