That aren't anime?

I really like a show on Turner South (sad to say - Southern TV, but is really good). It is called Live from the Bluebird Cafe, and basically they get songers and songwriters to come and perform acoustic sets. Sometimes they have great people, and sometimes they are songwriters that you've never heard of, but you know the songs they are singing, because they wrote them. It's cool stuff, and good to study by also.

Joan of Arcadia is pretty good also, so I don't watch it frequently. They haven't totally hacked God apart, so in that I am impressed, especially considering their ratings.

I like science fiction shows like Firefly, Starhunter, and Star Trek: Enterprise. I only watch Firefly with any regularity though. The best series of all time tohugh was Babylon 5.

Cop shows like Cold Squad and Da Vinci's Inquest are also pretty good.

My favorite shows (that I watch regularly) are Late Night With Conan O'Brien, The Daily Show, and the Comey Central Presents series. Other than that, I watch some stuff on the History Channel from time to time, along with Toonami (but that is anime).

Did someone pick that up? Man that was a good show... got to get the box set for it when I get back on top of my finances.

I've taken to Tru Calling for a few weeks now, seems like a good show (kinda like Early Edition and 7 days combined).

Been watching Joan of Arcadia, though I'm not totally sold on it, so far I've liked what they've done with it (though I find that about 1/2 way through my attention wanders, but I'm usually watching while on the PC (reading CAA) so it's not a big deal.

My local Fox station plays Stargate SG-1 late on Sunday night, so I've set a timer on my VCR to tape it.... want to pickup the whole series eventually on DVD.

Yes Dear, Still Standing, 8 Simple Rules, and Almost Perfect are on my list of sit-coms that I tend to watch.

And if you want to know my most hated programming, that would be any reality TV.... with the exception of Last Comic Standing, and I'd just as soon they leave out all the "drama" of them getting along in the house... just show me the funny! ;)

I would have to say that my favourites are Star Trek: DS9, Babylon 5 (started rewatching it this past weekend) definately, SNL, The Daily Show, TSS and Discovery Channel/TLC documentarys involving storms and/or space - the hypothetical stuff really.

The best series of all time though was Babylon 5.
I agree! :thumb:

I can't think of any TV shows that I watch regularly. I pretty much only watch anime. Sad, I know...

*thinks*

Um......... nope, can't think of anything. Heh.

hmm, aside from anime...

Relic Hunter, Seven Days, CSI (preferably Las Vegas...i like Grissom over Horatio because he's a lot weirder XD), Andromeda, Star Trek Voyager...and a few sitcoms whose names have currently escaped me.

My all-time favorite TV show has to be....

Mister Roger's Neighborhood.

I had to watch that show when I was a little boy.

Oh, right now? Um.... I actually do not watch TV shows (sitcoms, series, late-night comedy) really. I watch news, sports, movies.... Well... I occasionally watch "Good Eats" with Aaron Brown. I get the impression he is like... a food geek or geek chef... in some way. I never tried his recipes. I am too busy for that.

Sometimes I watch the Food Network, but I think that has been because of the unappealing quality of the food I get to eat everyday...

I watched Mr. Rogers Neighborhood daily, and my brother and I used to guess which color of sweater he would choose to wear each day. If either of us guessed correctly, we were the Mr. Rogers super fan expert or something, and the other was "the loser." Wow. Oh for the day...

You know, I take that back. I DO watch Good Eats whenever I get the chance. It's rare, but it still happens. I still love the Tuna episode...

I like, generally speaking, Court TV on A & E. I think the shows on detective work and forensics are fascinating. I've been interested in such topic since I was a kid.

Here are all the shows I watch:

Shows I like: Simpsons, King of the Hill, 3rd Rock from the Sun

A show I am ok about: Drew Carey (the special shows are funny, but the normal shows aren't that good)

Shows I only keep on because I'm too lazy to change the channel: Fox 10 o'clock news, Married with Children (I hate this show... All the fuss people made over seinfeld's innuendos? MwC had that x100, long before seinfeld ever went on the air,) King of Queens (I wouldn't watch this if it weren't between KotH and the 7:30 Simpsons)

So, from 6pm - 8pm, I watch fox unless my homework load is too big (like it has been much of the time) or I happen to change the channel to Disney during King of Queens. Then, from 11pm - 1 am I also watch fox, usually. I have been trying to get to bed at midnight or earlier. I don't usually watch TV earlier in the day. I have classes, janitorial work, and homework to take care of.

[button=off topic]Strictly gramatically speaking, **of** shouldn*t be at the end of a sentance... I just say that **to take care of** has the objects **classes, janitorial work, and homework** and that just because it*s in a different order doesn*t mean it*s poor... I really don*t agree with a strict adherance to someone*s grammer rules from years ago that make no allowance for the changes in language[/button]

If you're a 24 fan, you may be a keifer fan. If you're a keifer fan, are 17+, and can handle some brutal violence, I'd suggest checking out "To End All Wars" in either a few months, when it gets its re-release into theaters, or in June, when it will finally see a US DVD release by... 20th century Fox... I had hoped that it would stay indy... I hope they don't remove any of the scenes with signifigance to Christianity, and they now have every right to do that, since they own it... But, anyhow, It's an incredible movie, and anyone who is 17+ and can handle the brutality (and also the racial slurs... This was a prisoner camp in Thailand, holding Brittish, Aussie, and American prisoners, and the Japanese army ran the camp...) should see this movie... It portrays a very important facet of Christianity, and that is one of forgiveness. http://www.toendallwarsmovie.com/trailer_01.html

Mythbusters, any Star Trek, Stargate SG1/Atlantis, Star Wars Droids/Ewoks, Babylon 5/Rangers, Beyond Belief, Believe it or Not, and Roar!

Yeah, I love Roar - they represent real christians well and the story is historically correct. That and the writing/acting is supurb. I love cute men with accents!

Good ones are: Boy Meets World, UFC: The Ulimate Fighter, King of the Hill, Unwrapped (foot-network) and some others...

I'm not much for prime time TV or reality tv (UFC is an exception).

Fresh Prince of Bel-air

The New Detectives... Well, just about anything that has to with murders and florensic science.

Modern Marvels on the History Channel is cool.

The Proud Family (The only good reason to have the Disney Channel)

The Fairly Odd Parents

Danny Phantom

... All for now.

MASH and the Cosby Show are my two all time favorite shows, I try and keep up with X-Play, and just started catching Mad About You and Caroline In the City occasionally. I haven't been impressed with any new shows in a couple of years now.

WKRP in Cinncinnatti

That has to be the best show in history. Sadly it hasnt gotten onto DVD because of all the old music that they played on the show. The rights to the music are so expensive that it isnt worth it to the company who owns it to release it.
