So whats everyone watching at the mo?

Posted by firebird (Member # 1971) on :

I'm in Holland ...

So all I can understand is American reruns that I've already seen. [Grumble]

The other channels have .. ummm ... stuff I won't be watching.

On returning to the UK I will be looking out for:
Angel
Charmed
Alias
BBC News

And yes, I like my escapist fantasy. But the occasional BBC documentary goes down very well too.

Posted by Belle (Member # 2314) on :

Firefly
Battlestar Galactica
Numb3rs
Monk

And everyone of those comes on Friday nights.

Charmed

The rest of my days will be spent trying to kill you.

Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :

There is very little that interests me. One show that I try to catch when I can is "Monk". Alas, it is always on at inconvenient times.

Damien.m,

I just got back from Limerick on Friday evening. While I was there I happened to see on TV hurling, soccer, and a crime drama series filmed in Dublin. On a whole, UK/Irish TV is a bit more chatty (except for Mr. Bean) than I prefer. Too much kissin' o' the Blarney Stone I guess.

I'll be back in Limerick in a month. Then you can kick my bum for calling you lot "chatty," but you'll have to find me first. [Taunt]

Jebus ... at least share you TV Favourites so that we can have a mutual assassination club?

(First by the post wins?! <tee hee>)

Posted by Damien.m (Member # 8462) on :

Im totally addicted to 24 although series four wasnt brilliant i still couldnt stop watching. Im also watching Lost which is ok but not 24.

Posted by JaimeBenlevy (Member # 6222) on :

Firefly
Sports Center
Pretty much it, usually if I'm inside I'm on the internet or otherwise I'm outside playing sports or out somewhere. Not much of a tv fan.

Posted by Goody Scrivener (Member # 6742) on :

Lilo and Stitch on DVD. Well, the kids are watching it and I'm on the computer in the same room...

Posted by James Tiberius Kirk (Member # 2832) on :

Battlestar Galactica is the only thing I watch regularly and Law and Order if it's on.

[edit] should probably clarify, that these are aside from the Discovery Channel (Mythbusters!), the History Channel, 24hr "news" networks, and BBCNews on public TV. I just assumed that this was refering to dramas and such.

Numb3rs

I recently discovered Numb3rs.

So:

-'Firefly'
-'Stargate Sg-1', although not in order, just when it's on.
-'Stargate Atlantis', although I rely on a friend's tv on demand for that.
-I'm watching reruns of the 'Horatio Hornblower' series right now.
-Lost
-Occaisionally shows like Numb3rs, Law and Order and CSI, but only if they are the best option at the time.

I watch way more tv than I ever used to, sigh.

Posted by Hamson (Member # 7808) on :

Whose line is it anyway, The Simpsons, Third Rock from the Sun (DVD), and Conan O' Brian.

Posted by Carrie (Member # 394) on :

Jeopardy!
SciFi Friday
And I'm getting ready for some football (Uh, American football. I suppose I should clarify.)

Posted by Cr1spy (Member # 8407) on :

House
Stargate SG1
Battlestar Galactica
And whatever reality show my wife sucks me into no matter what I try to do to avoid it.

Posted by Beren One Hand (Member # 3403) on :

Veronica Mars
Angel
Firefly
ER
King of the Hill

Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :

L Word Season 2
Queer as Folk Season 5 (*tear* last season)
Star Trek TNG and Voyager (ok they aren't technically on TV anymore, but reruns!)

I will be watching Monk once I get home on Wednesday and can catch up on all the episodes my parents taped.

Posted by SpiffWilkie (Member # 8464) on :

King of the Hill
Malcolm in the Middle
Antiques Roadshow
King of Queens
Spy (From British T.V. I never got to see the second half of the series because my PBS affiliate had it on a weird schedule [Mad]

)

Posted by Synesthesia (Member # 4774) on :

I hate television.
But, I do like House a lot. And Bernie Mac.

Posted by blacwolve (Member # 2972) on :

I don't regularly watch anything. But the shows I'm willing to watch when our schedules coincide are:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Charmed (I still haven't seen the season finale and it's killing me)

Law and Order

I watch Firefly, but only on DVD.

I really don't have a long enough attention span to remember to watch a show every week.

The Closer (Oh, I love this show, it's the only one that I'll actually make an effort to catch)

Posted by Synesthesia (Member # 4774) on :

And Queer as Folk
Of course that is over now...
Plus the sopranos.

Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :

Tonight was the last episode of QAF, right?

Posted by TL (Member # 8124) on :

Hey, people who like QAF ... The current shows I like to watch are The Shield, Entourage, The O.C., and Lost. Should I be watching Queer as Folk? Would I like it?

Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :

I wish I could help you out, but I don't know much about those other shows. I really like the show, it's basically like a gay drama/soap opera. The only thing I'd warn you about is the sex scenes because they can be graphic as it's on Sho.

Posted by TL (Member # 8124) on :

Graphic gay sex? Count me in.

[Razz]

Posted by kojabu (Member # 8042) on :

Hahahaha. The first few seaons are much worse than the last couple. I think it was the fourth season where they decided to make it more of a "family" style show instead of a "graphic gay sex" show.

Posted by Zeugma (Member # 6636) on :

I watch Battlestar Galactica and Mythbusters religiously, rest of the time the TV's off.

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

The only show that I am watching is The Practice.

Posted by Book (Member # 5500) on :

Arrested Development and tons of it.

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

Amen, brother! Arrested Development is probably the funniest, best-written show I've ever seen.

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

I watch DVDs on my TV. [Smile]

Lately it's wall to wall Firefly.

I love to catch Monk when I can and I'm waiting for Lost to start up again...

That's about all I watch on purpose.

Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :

Oh, I also watch Doctor Who [Big Grin]

Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :

Even better than The Simpsons? Hm. Actually, it may be.

I also love Gilmore Girls for the smart, funny factor.

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

The Simpsons has seriously gone downhill, I think. Some older episodes are sheer brilliance, but it's just too hit-and-miss lately.

Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :

Gilmore Girls!!

(At least I'm consistent.)
