Current Favorite TV shows?

[The Heat]

There are several I'm interested in;

Smallville

It's in its 5th or 6th season and it's interesting to see the similarities and the differences between Smallville and the Superman movies. It sucks though, that Jonathan Kent died in last week's episode...:nono: . Although that does follow the Superman plot. I haven't seen too many threads on this, so, I'm just wonderin' if anyone else watches.....

Nip/Tuck

This show is by far the best on FX. It gets deeper every episode and twists happen often. The "carver" angle from this past season was good, although I didn't see Quintin and Kit being brother & sister coming......

Supernatural

It's funny, there used to be NO good shows on WB. Nowadays, they have Smallville, Supernatural, etc that are fastly becoming favs of mine. Supernatural follows two brothers: Sam & Dean who are chasing their father[who also investigates supernatural cases] in order to get closer to the truth about their mother. Their mother died in their home when they were younger and their father is off chasing the demon responsible. This show is better than most WBish shows like 7th Heaven:n: or One Tree Hill :n: and actually gets better as it goes along.

[i]The Shield

It's funny, I never really cared about another show about a dirty cop. That is, until they advertised season 5. Forrest Whitaker stands out and makes The Shield a must-watch show. Cop-drama that leaves you wondering what will happen next.

Rescue Me

Dennis Leary is a good actor. He definetely shines in this series. It's another FX show that leaves you wanting more.

Shows I hate; "Over There"[could they make MORE off of war-time happenings?:mad: ], 7th Heaven[too family oriented], One Tree Hill[gay], "It's always sunny in Philadelphia[a flop of a show on FX], and any "reality" themed tv shows["American Idol, "Dancing with the Stars", "Survivor", "The Apprentice, etc].

Which TV shows do you currently watch?

[Blue Demon]

my current faves are Lost, 24 and Family Guy

[Blitz]

Lost
Veronica Mars
Supernatural (Loved the recent "Scarecrow" episode)
Daily Show
The Colbert Report
The Office
Family Guy
Simpsons

Smallville's kinda lost me during the last couple of seasons, but the current one seems to be taking a turn for the better. "Reckoning" was a great episode.

[weather vane]

The O.C
My Name Is Earl
The Office

[Blitz]

I forgot The OC. Love that show.

[loopydate]

Reality
The Amazing Race (although not the "Family Edition" they just did)

But, probably my two absolute favorites are Scrubs and 24.

[RBM]

Lost- best show on TV.
Prison Break

Nip/Tuck
Rescue Me
Family Guy
American Dad
Southpark
Drawn Together

[RBM]

I also forgot, Comedy Central advertised that the 3rd season of Chappelle's show is coming, OHHHKAY.....

It's just whatever sketches they had done before he quit, wrapped into 4 episodes, but hey, that's still better than nothing and funnier than most of the shit on TV today.

Looking forward to Thief on FX.

[Boondock Saint]

Oh, and MI:5 (Spooks) but I only watch that via DVD since I can never find when A&E airs it, plus they edit it for time. :nono: Season 3 comes out on Tuesday :love:

[el fregadero]

Shows I hate; "Over There"[could they make MORE off of war-time happenings?:mad: ], 7th Heaven[too family oriented], One Tree Hill[gay], "It's always sunny in Philadelphia[a flop of a show on FX], and any "reality" themed tv shows["American Idol, "Dancing with the Stars", "Survivor", "The Apprentice, etc].

Which TV shows do you currently watch?
I loved Over There (well, the theme song anyway) and I liked "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" just fine. Pretty sure both are canceled now though, so you don't have to worry about them.

[Boondock Saint]

It's Always Sunny in Phili was renewed for a second season. "Starved" was cancelled.

[toxic rooster]

Pretty standard right here

Simpsons
Family Guy
Arrested Development
Scrubs
Curb your Enthusiasm (when it was on cable here. man I gotta get those DVDs).

[toxic rooster]

oh, there's probably like 5 shows I missed too. I don't care

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Stargate SG-1
Stargate Atlantis
The Shield
West Wing
Lost
Supernatural - Only seen the first episode (that aired last week) but I liked it so i'll continue to watch it.

Been trying to get into Invasion but it doesn't seem to do anything for me, except for the girl who plays the teenage daughter of the sheriff, who has a weird-looking hotness going on.

[The Mask]

Lost and South Park are the only things I bother with really, and then I just download them the day after they're on in america so it's all good.

[toxic rooster]

My brother's trying to get me into the Shield.

I got him into arrested development :o

[Blue Demon]

ahh yes, I forgot to add srubs to my list.

[weather vane]

Also

Family Guy
Kenny Vs Spenny

[PorkSoda]

I think regular TV sucks. Seriously, nothing ever good is on.

My favorites are Simpsons, Family Guy........uh...Everybody Hates Chris isn't bad. Of course, Raw and Smackdown. I never did watch Nip Tuck or Smallville or any of that. And if I did, I''d probably turn it off 5 seconds into and say that it sucks. Why? I don't know. Why? I DON'T KNOW!

You can't seriously watch this much TV, can you? Is it possible?

I tend to go like this:

Mondays are Prison Break, Tuesdays are House, Wednesdays are Veronica Mars, Thursdays are Smallville... Friday and Saturdays are shit, and Sundays are football or Fox or nothing...

Other that, I'll just watch whatever shit's on if I'm home, not online or playing madden.

[The Heat]

Of course, I was assuming everyone else watched WWE as well; TNA is also good to watch on Saturday nights, as there's nothing else on at that time....

[Joey Slugs]

24, House, The Sopranos

[Pinnacle Charisma]

24
Lost
Family Guy
Scrubs

[BlackDawn2024]

Not too many.

Smallville
Supernatural
Justice League Unlimited(the Cadmus arc of last year pwns)

Pretty shot list, eh?

TV is garbage today. Complete crap. Save for those three shows, I watch nothing else.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

The Shield (Been watching religiously since the second season, but I've seen all of it.)
Rescue Me (Watched religiously since the begining.)
Nip/Tuck (Watched all three seasons in November/December/Jan)
WWE
Daily Show/Colbert Report
Late Night with Conan O'Brien when I have time/ am actually home.


That's about it.

[AlphaBean]

When you think TV is garbage, but watch Smallville, I really can't take anything you say into consideration on any matter, ever.

[BlackDawn2024]

When you think TV is garbage, but watch Smallville, I really can't take anything you say into consideration on any matter, ever.

Regardless, I still say 95% of TV right now is pure shit. I was waiting for the Smallville rip, so no harm done. ;)

[AlphaBean]

I think that TV is better now than it's been in maybe 10 years. It was a very, very dark age for TV when Friends was the best we had to offer. UPN and the WB were trying too hard to cater to a certain audience, that they ignored quality for quantity. And while it's still prevalent today... five years ago was a time of disgusting reality shows. We don't see as much of "Temptation Island" now as we used to... instead, shows like "beauty and the geek," which is rather smart, and something of a surreality show. Which is to say, I loved the Surreal life, too. But "beauty and the geek" gives us a reality that just wouldn't have existed before. Instead of stupid shit like "Real World" where it's just people... living together? :?:, it's a convention that's finally being toyed with. And I am hoping that one day soon, Survivor will become extinct.

I could say more but i am too tired. I'll say that I do actually enjoy Smallville, but I recognize objectively that it's one of the lesser shows on TV -- it's only a bit of a masturbatory guilty pleasure, with hot babes and comic book heroes. We all long for a little bit of that in our lives (lois and clark, mmmmmm teri hatcher 15 years ago).

That I get. But I watch, enjoy, and worship the ground Smallville walks on for more than that. It's, for me, not about Kristin Kreuk or Erica Durance or Allison Mack, it's about watching Clark grow into the man he'll become. I love this show for the pure comic stuff.

For the record, though, Teri's still pretty bangable.

Then what are your feelings on fucking up the timeline so hardcore in "Reckoning?"

I missed last week's. Are there plans to bring him back, or what? :(

For myself, killing Johnathan in "Reckoning" is a waste. It was built up as a big surprise so much, that it fell flat. People who have been watching the show for all this time have been expecting him to die since "Exile", when he was given the temporary super-powers. His heart's been in shitty shape since that time. It just came off as a waste, if you ask me. Killing Lana would have been the perfect way to catapault this show ahead and change Clark from the whiney, complaining, pussy cry-baby he's been written as this year into a man. Instead, they took the easy way out and killed Johnathan. A bitch move, if you ask me.

But "Vengeance" fucking rocked. This Maya/Angel character is so obviously supposed to be Batman. They even play a sutble variation of the Danny Elfman theme when she shows up. It was a great episode. But as for plans to bring him back, I don't think so. At the end of "Vengeance"(which is sadder than his actual death, btw), Clark and Martha are watching a home movie of a younger Clark and Johnathan driving around on a tractor. At the end, Johnathan looks toward the camera and waves, saying "Bye". Fairly clear indicator he's gone for good.

But I hear a flashback/dream sequence of some kind isn't ruled out.

[AlphaBean]

You kill lana now, you jump the shark, you get one more season tops. You know that.

But the Jonathan thing pissed me off... 1) yeah who cares if it was him? I'd have let Lana die. :roll: and 2) I'm just upset that he's alive in the comics. So gone for good just pisses me off.

but then I guess, Lois wasn't childhood buddies with Clark either. Whatver. Horrible show.

Not exactly. Killing Lana would certainly cause you to lose some of her fans, but that's not going to kill the show. You think killing Lana is jumping the shark? I say keeping her on for this long is jumping the shark. Dragging this Clark/Lana relationship on for this long is jumping the shark. More people despise Kristin for holding the show back than they do love her.

[Boondock Saint]

Not all of these shows are on at the same time. HBO and FX stagger their seasons. The Sopranos hasn't been on in almost 2 years. Rome won't be on until 2007 prolly etc.

Plus, DVR is a godsend.

[Boondock Saint]

Regardless, I still say 95% of TV right now is pure shit.


Too early to get into this with you...;)

[Pinback]

Scrubs > all, simple as that

[Triple A]

For the past week or so, all I have been watching is:

Home Movies
The Ren & Stimpy Show
Arrested Development
Understanding (And other shit on THE SCIENCE CHANNEL)
ESPNEWS

[AlphaBean]

Do you... know what "jumping the shark" means?

The office, O.C, Law and Order SVU, Family Guy.

Scrubs pwns all

[loopydate]

The producers of Will & Grace could learn a thing or two from Scrubs. W&G used to be really funny (and, as a result, I used to actually watch it), but now every episode is full of guest stars.

Scrubs uses a lot of guest stars, but they integrate them into their existing stories really well (see: Mandy Moore tonight, Heather Graham last season, Brendan Fraser from the first season), whereas W&G puts guest stars on and says "HEY LOOK! JENNIFER LOPEZ IS ON OUR SHOW!"
