    Default Favorite TV Shows

    The boob tube must be the most useless, lamebrained idea ever. Huge time-waster, and don't even get me started on commercials. But even I have a few shows that I simply adore and rarely miss. Sifting through the muck, what decent shows have you found? Conversely, what is your nomination for the Worst Show Ever?

    CSI. Best Show Ever. Caught the premier and instantly was hooked; haven't voluntarily missed it since. I count as one of the few pitfalls to my job that I often work on Thursday night (dammit!). Grissom is a hottie.

    Law and Order. Often duplicated, never equaled. I lurve crime shows.

    What Not to Wear. One of the many shows stolen from BBC, but this one actually manages to be better than the original. Stacy and Clinton are a hoot.

    Iron Chef. Morimoto is a god. A Japanese god with a big knife. Yeah, baby! Sadly, I've been a devotee for so long that I've seen pretty much every episode. The American version sucks and whomever thought that up should be slapped.


    Worst Show Ever
    Reality shows. All of them. Oh, and Nip/Tuck.

    Don't watch enough to say. But MXC is a guilty pleasure now and then. This coming from a guy who finds Man Show to be a tad too sophmoric for him.

    I watch Enterprise sometimes out of Star Trek habit, and I enjoy it, but I can't say it's compelling.

    Mythbusters, sometimes.

    Speaking of Star Trek, STTNG was an underrated show. The latter seasons had some really good writing and poignant social commentary.

    The Wire is my current fave. How can you not love a show produced by George Pelecanos? I watch so many shows it'd be embarrassing to list them all . . .

    I like That 70's Show, The Simpsons, Family Guy, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (especially Headlines and Jaywalking) and Boiling Point on MTV. I used to like South Park when it first came out, but it doesn't seem as funny to me anymore. I also like a couple of shows that most of you probably hate, such as America's Next Top Model and The Bachelor. They're my guilty pleasure. LOL

    The ONLY TV show we watch here (when we get a chance) is Law and Order (SVU, CSI, etc). Other than that, the TV stays off.

    I like the hbo shows now that friends and seinfeld are off the air. Shows like curb your enthuseasum(sp), six feet under. Loved sex and the city the first few seasons, after that it got stupid. Oh and this one show on the comedy channel is hillarious, reno 911.

    ooooh I love Iron Chef! I also like shows on Discovery. I watched Ramses Wrath of God or Man? (brought to you by Kay Jewelers now on dvd) last week that was interesting. The show seemed to be rather repetitive although I did learn a few things from it.

    Kids shows that I enjoy watching are The Wild Thornberrys also The Amanda Show.

    I can't think of any lame ones off the top of my head since I don't watch alot of tv. I do, however, share your disdain of reality tv shows. They make me cringe.

    The O.C.
    The West Wing
    Coupling (the British original, which I hope will be continuing for a fifth series)

    I also love Cribs and Pimp My Ride.

    Favorites:
    American Chopper, The L Word, Family Business, CSI, Boston Legal, Cash in the Attic, and jewelry on any shopping channel. And thanks mostly to my SO's obsession but I sorta like it too, endless DVD replays of the combined 13 seasons of Buffy and Angel.

    Best shows to watch sporadically to make fun of people on them:
    Elimidate, Blind Date, The Fifth Wheel & Cheaters, especially the episode when the host gets knifed. And HGTV's Double Agents and House Hunters, especially the early House Hunters where the couples were required to fake surprise during a staged scene for the cameras as their real estate agent called with news that they got the house they wanted.
