As far as shows that are actually on TV, I like Futurama, How I Met Your Mother, South Park, Daily Show/Colbert Report, Scrubs, Fresh Prince and The Office. For shows that aren't actually on TV I like Joss Whedon's first three shows and all sorts of anime.

Post by: BlobVanDam on January 23, 2010, 11:04:11 PM
I hardly watch TV either. My favourite shows currently still running are-
American Dad
Family Guy (last few seasons have been terrible, but this season has been decent)
Mythbusters
House
Metalocalypse
Stargate Universe (I'm a huge Stargate fan)

I've also recently gotten into Malcolm in the Middle and How I Met Your Mother.

I won't list all time favourites, because that's a much longer list.
Title: Re: Favorite TV Shows
Post by: Genowyn on January 23, 2010, 11:05:46 PM
I completely forgot Metalocalypse.

Oh, and like everyone else said, I hardly watch TV. The only shows I actually go out of my way to watch are Daily Show/Colbert and HIMYM.
Title: Re: Favorite TV Shows

I pretty much watch one show at a time.  I'm still working through ST:TOS, usually an episode each night.  Once I wrap that up, I need to watch the most recent series of Curb Your Enthusiasm, and Bullshit.  Dunno which I'll watch first.  I actually pay for cable, but only watch NFL, and in two weeks I'll cancel it.  As I've pointed out before, television is so much better when you program it yourself.

Me too, although mostly because a lot of the shows I like aren't on TV much or at all, but are easy to get on DVD. Plus I've become accustomed to watching shows in one sitting.
In the last 2-3 months I have rewatched every single episode of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis (15 seasons in total). TV shows play out so much better when everything is fresh in your mind, such as character development, and subtleties in story arcs that you miss when you see them spaced out.

Yeah, its hard watching shows (especially dramas or action-based shows) on regular TV. Without any sort of Tivo/PVR, I lose interest too quickly. The commercials are super annoying, and I often want to be able to watch 2-3 episodes at a time.
Plus, DVD extras are in my Top 5 Things of Everything list, so that's even more incentive for me to get the DVDs.

Last month I watched all of the episodes of The Office (US) back to back, starting from the very first episode. With a show like that, the plot and character development is very important, and I didnt want to ruin the series by just watching the episodes in random order as they appear on TV.

Awesome, BSG is one of my favourite ever shows, and I've recently been getting into the revamped Doctor Who series as well. Been renting the DVDs, just finished the series with Christopher Ecclestone last night, there were a couple of amazing episodes in it, but generally the show is just so FUN!

It gets so much better...it's the type of show that, as you get to know the characters, it gets funnier. Like main character's brother Gob, that guy is just hysterical as the show progresses more and more.


Spoiler


My favorite scenes are when he buys the white dove and accidentally kills it, and then stores it in the freezer.

and

When George Michael asks Gob if his aunt has ever been pregnant besides Maeby, and Gob just casually walks by and says "Oh yeah. Plenty of times." Perfect execution.

The first few times I watched American Dad when it came out I wasn't impressed. However, in the past year or so I've grown to love the show. Definitely much better than Family Guy on all levels.

Oh, and how many times are Brian and Stewie going to go back in time? Christ.  :lol

It's a good thing you've seen the light with regards to AD, otherwise you might have been in some trouble :P

Baldwin is the best part of 30 Rock, especially the earlier seasons (with Tracy a close second). "It's after 6pm. What am I, a farmer?"

Also Dr. Spaceman had the best lines ever

While I like a lot of situational shows like MASH or Cheers, they just don't have the same lasting appeal as more story driven shows or miniseries.

The three that take the cake for me, and are incidentally all tied together by sharing producers are...

Deep Space Nine
The Dead Zone
Battlestar Galactica(2000's)

Miniseries are harder for me to remember, but one that I got surprisingly hooked on was the recent Little Dorrit, an adaptation of Dickens' series of novellas with the same name.

Chopped...  :hat


That one's ok.  When it comes to the Food Network, I'm more of a DDD, You Gotta Eat Here, and Eat St kinda guy.  Oh, and Man vs Food... but I think that's on Outdoor Life Network, not Food.  That show is such a train wreck, and makes me want to :puke: everytime I watch.

I like pretty much anything on Food Network, I actually just got into Chopped recently. I like it a lot, but some of those judges are obnoxiously snobby.  :lol I know they're supposed to be and it's partially an act, but man that one lady Alex Guarnaschelli always looks someone just shoved a rusty pitch fork up her ass.

Top Gear is my number one favourite. I don't really enjoy following any series, but as a car enthusiast I like to watch pretty much all kinds of car shows. Top Gear fulfills my needs for both fast cars and good humour.

Top Gear is wonderful, especially the races and specials when they travel abroad (Bolivia, North Pole, Vietnam, etc.)

Not sure if a new thread is needed but Prison Break will be back:

I really liked the first season and while it dwindled in quality it was a fun show to watch.

I wouldn't have any problem placing it in a higher tier really... The acting was very good and I was hooked the first few seasons. It just seems like it got to a point where I could no longer believe all the shit this guy was getting away with, and it kind of soured it for me.

My wife hasn't watched it so maybe I should watch it with her and see if my opinion improves.

BBC's Coupling.   Seriously the greatest and funniest show in the history of TV.   Steven Moffat is just an incredibly gifted writer.   I've watched every episode dozens of times and I still have to pause the DVD to recover from laughing so hard.

In order-

Mr. Show
Oz (till the end of Season 4 Part 1)
The Venture Bros.
Joining the chorus for Louie
Chappelle's Show
Twin Peaks (minus everything in between the reveal and Windom Earle, Donna and especially James can get to fuck)
Arrested Development
Delocated/Wonder Showzen/The Heart, She Holler (compelled to put all the PFFR stuff together)
Brass Eye
The League (first few seasons)
Breaking Bad
Kroll Show (2nd and 3rd seasons, a tragically overlooked show)

I can sit through endless reruns of Modern Family, Fresh Prince, Futurama, South Park, and Friends, so that probably says something about those for me

Tried watching The Riches.

Good God. Eddie Izzard already can't act his way out of a paper bag but trying to act and do a terrible accent at the same time ?

Terrible.
