Battlestar Galactica on BluRay. Documentaries.

The only series I make time to watch are Glee and House. Other than those, I'll watch almost anything if I'm in the mood to watch TV. Except the Lifetime Movie Network... Ugh, kill me now: better that I watch a '70's kung fu movie.

Ha, I frequently get interested in a series once it gets cancelled. Like My Name is Earl is funnier than I expected, and Charlie Sheen's recent exploits made me catch a few old 2.5 Men on reruns.

DIY shows are usually too slow moving for me, or conversely skip over the exact part I wanted to see in detail. Youtube mentality: I want it in ten minutes or less. I don't need lessons in how to sand and prime, but would like some info on how to strip dentil crown molding for instance.

I like a lot of the HGTV home make over and gardening shows and world's most amazing houses type things. I like Jon Stewart's Daily Show. Currently for a new series, I am enjoying Fairly Legal. It's about a mediator who works on finding/negotiating win-win solutions to a lot of different conflicts/ problems. It is entertaining, she is very creative with the solutions, no one dies, there are no blood and guts and gory stuff... (Of course she's young and gorgeous and always wears tight waists and very short skirts but oh well, no one would want to watch it if she looked like an ordinary person and dressed like real lawyers.)

I love the costume/historic series on PBS like Downton Abbey, the Jane Austen series, and Upstairs, Downstairs. I also love Avec Eric, with chef Eric Rippert, and the Jacques Pepin series, especially the one he did with Julia Child.
We don't watch much network TV, occasionally a sports program. Since the little box has been required, we don't get NBC at all, and very few of the cable stations.

" Post subject: Just currious what ya'll prefer on the tv"




Well, obviously not American Idol.





We watch a variety but mostly movies. Without a DVR we would pull an Elvis and shoot the TV.

Leverage, Good Wife, Detroit 187, Closer, Memphis Beat [that guy can sing] the former Two and a Half Men, Defenders.


Anything with good music, Austin, Sound Stage, any and all PBS music shows.


We watched the 1996 and 2010 Les Mis productions in the last two weeks.

Poor little Fantine and Cosette. I just cry and cry. I'm 6'2 220, it's not pretty". When Jean Valjean sings "Bring Him Home" I just break out in shaking boo hoos. I'm secure in my masculinity but if I watch Les Mis, I need two boxes of Kleenex.

What's TV? Ha, I'm only half kidding. I haven't watched a TV show in 2 months. We have 1 tv in our whole house and the digital converter box picks up ABC on a good day. We have the tv so my lil guy can watch movies on the dvd player.
When we have internet hooked up (we don't right now) I'll watch tv on hulu. We're too busy in the summer for it anyway (I go on the net on my phone now)

[tomf]

Yes I feel so also Charlie a DVR is the best thing for TV.
We had a HD one in the living room and just got an HD on in our bed room.
Dexter, 24, being Human, Dr. Who, Stargate Universe,Any thing in 3D.. Mostly we like movies and get blu rays via Netflix.

[DoubleDogFarm]

I haven't had TV for almost a year now, do I miss it, maybe a little.

Shows that I liked.

Mythbusters
Robot Wars
Junk Yard Wars
'It's Not Easy Being Green, Dick Strawbridge's farm
The Food Network
and all the DIY shows.
Ok, House also.

Castle, Bones, NCIS, Top Gear, and nerd TV (History Channel, National Geographic, Animal Planet, Discovery, etc...) are about the only current things I watch. I refuse to watch "Reality TV" on general principle, so Survivor, Big Brother, and the rest of that compost has to survive without me. I can never get into American Idol or other contest shows either.

[Kisal]

I haven't watched TV in well over 2 years. I use it once in awhile to watch a DVD, but that's it.

Even that's becoming rare, now that Netfix has expanded the selection of streaming videos they offer. I much prefer that.

Did you ever finish Lost?

[Kisal]

Yes. It got a little weird toward the end. Well, no, not "a little weird" ... more like "downright bizarre". I did enjoy it, though.

I enjoy a bit of sci-fi and fantasy on occasion, but I've never been an aficionado of those genres. I mostly like comedy, drama, and documentaries.

Stargate Universe

CANCELLED. Don't know if you heard about it, or how much you actually like it. It was one of the three shows my boyfriend and I actually watch on TV:

Stargate Universe - No more new Stargate ever after this season.
The Big Bang Theory - I didn't start watching this show until about a year after it came out, figuring it was another one like Dexter or something (not really my thing), but when I learned it was about NERDS <3 I fell in love with it.
Glee

We mostly DVR Futurama and Family Guy and new eps. of the 3 above and then Netflix anything else. We just watched Avatar: The Last Airbender (the FANTASTIC show, not the CRAPPY movie ) through Netflix in the last month.

On Netflix, I'm currently watching episode 6 of National Geographic's "DogTown". It's about the rehabilitation of the pit bull dogs from Michael Vick's dog fighting ring.

(I removed the word I used as an adjective for Michael Vick. I don't think I really know a vile enough word to describe such "things" as him. )
