I'm catching up with 30 Rock on channel 5 - they're showing the whole series over Xmas/New Year. That's pretty funny.

Oh, and Raw (Sky Sports) and TNA (Bravo) and I've gotta have an East Enders fix 4 times a week. (BBC 1 soap opera. Yeah, I know. I feel bad and dirty but I don't do crack any more)

Special Interest:
Top Gear (BBC One/Two...Not Sure)
I don't care about cars...At all. But Top Gear is awesome.

[legendaryken]

Hah! No reality shows at all!!!
Top Gear is well worth watching, even for non car lovers, and the last series of Mighty Boosh I think was shown first on Beeb 2, then endlessly repeated on 3. (Might be wrong about that!)

[Snowman]

I think you're right about the Boosh actually. I'm just used to it being on THREE.

And I used to hate all forms of reality shows, but I watched every episode of Xfactor and Xtra factor this year, and thoroughly enjoyed em :) (Probably because of the lovely Cheryl and Holly)

[Sunshine]

Lost is really the only show that holds my interest now. I still keep up with Heroes and watch every episode, but it's such a horrible show. I only keep watching for the sake that the show might return to form like season one. Two and three have just been...meh.

I'm currently Netflixing The Office (US, of course). On season two, at the moment.

And a show I would watch if it were more convenient: Chuck.

[Snowman]

Recently watched a one-off New Years special of one of my old favourite shows Jonothan Creek. (Funny BBC detective show starring Alan Davies)

It was awesome, and for those who like the show you can still catch it on the BBC website :)

I hope they re-start the series cause that special just had me wanting to see more of it.

[Rocketbusta]

The only shows I really watch would have to be 24 & House.

[APostingGod]

House, Office, My Name is Earl, Fringe, King of the Kill, Bernie Mac and anything with Gordan Ramsay.

[Superman33]

The only show I really ever made a point to sit down and watch is the Shield.

The others that I TiVo are Smallville, The Office, King of the Hill, and Family Guy.

[One Stratusfied Customer]

There's a few shows I'll watch if I see them on, but the only ones I make sure I catch are-

Despereate Housewives
Family Guy
Heroes
Hollyoaks
How I Met Your Mother
Lost
Scrubs
Skins
The IT Crowd
Ugly Betty

Watch most of them online for convenience or when I can't sleep.

Good show, Snowman but *spoiler* with the mechanism they showed, there would still be water scooped up back into the bath which would have been a giveaway. Even if the plug was on a chain and automatically pulled out, the bath would still have been wet a couple of hours later. Also, you could probably have braced your feet at the far end of the bath to avoid being plunged into the pool. It didn't go more than 90 degrees.

I heard David Renwick on the radio beforehand saying that it was probably going to be a one-off unless it got a really good response.

[One Stratusfied Customer]

Agreed Ken... Janet (her name from 2 pints, can't remember what she was called in that) almost managed to stop herself so seemed unlikely that no one else managed to. I've never seen it before but that was pretty good, I'd watch a series of it.

[Snowman]

Sheridan Smith.

[HBK619]

I don't get the chance to watch a lot of TV anymore, which is a real shame. I had lists upon lists of shows. Since college, I've only got a few non-WWE shows I watch regularly

Family Guy
Law and Order: Special Victims Unit
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

If I were to recommend any show to anybody, it would be Always Sunny. In fact, I recommend it now

[Cripplerlock]

Here are the shows I am still watching in no particular order

1. Heroes
2. Smallville
3. Lost
4. 24
5. CSI: NY (somehow I got hook during last year's season)
6.

I really have not watched any comedy/sitcom shows in a very long while. Nothing against them, I against I am not into sitcoms any more. Well I do watch Family Guy now and then.

Also despite any possible negative reviews I am actually giving Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles a chance.

[Gravity]

Here's my top TV shows, in order of awesomeness.

1. How I Met Your Mother - Been years since a sitcom has tickled me like this one has. Honestly, the best one since Friends or Seinfeld.
2. Chuck - Fast-paced, witty, and just keeps getting better as it rolls through it's second season.
3. House - This one used to be number one but has lost some steam. The recent storylines are intriguing enough, but the cases can only remain interesting for so long.
4. Smallville - This was much lower until it's current season. Season 8 packs the big punch lacking from past seasons and is creating intriguing storylines setting up Clark Kent's future as Superman.
5. The Office - Yes UK enthusiasts, your version is fine and dandy too, but nothing does it for me quite like Steve Carrel creating the most awkward moments possible week in and week out. Plus, Jim and Pam are just too cute.
6. 30 Rock - Essentially tied with The Office here, Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin are excellent together, and this show has probably the best supporting cast on TV.

I watch some others too, like Bones, Criminal Minds, Supernatural, and Heroes, but these are the six that have me right now. Notable mentions for TV shows about to start up include Scrubs, Reaper, and Dollhouse.

Wow..old thread :P, never mind since I didnt post it in I'll add mine:


Best TV series ever = Battlestar Galactica! I'm not much of a Sci-fi fan, but after watching the first episode, I was intrigued by the plot and since then every single episode has been insanely addictive, still havnt seen the 4th or the 5th season, but no doubt that its gonna be fucking sweet. and I just watched the pilot episode for Caprica, a prequel to the series and that was fucking awesome too.

In no particular order:

24
The Sheild
Weeds
True Blood
Lost
House
The Tudors
Southpark
Family Guy
Dexter
The Wire
Wolverine and the Xmen
The Batman
Naruto
Reaper

Used to watch:

Heros
Prison Break
Nip Tuck
CSI
Smallville
OC (leave me alone)
One Tree Hill (leave me alone again)
Sopranos
Rome ( I want another season dammit!)
Avatar: Last Airbender

and then anything on National Geographic, Animal Planet, Discovery, History Channel (BBC news, CNN news). In fact these shows are the only things I watch on tv, as for seasons... I buy boxsets of everything because I dont have the patience to wait for each week, screw that.
