What other TV shows do you like?

Vambeer · July 22nd, 2008, 09:14 AM

I was just curious so i thought i would start this thread. Apart from automotive shows (TopGear, Fifth Gear etc) what other tv shows do u like? Give me your favourite two and the two you hate the most.
For example...mine are
1. Battestar Galactica
2. Supernatural

And the two i hate the most are
1.Prison Break ( i loved season 1 but now i think it is just a moneymaker and they keep stretching the plot)
2.Sex and the City (and don't think that i didn't watch it...My ex-girlfriend made me watch it with her...OMG just disgusting)

I can't wait to hear your opinions...

Viper007Bond · July 22nd, 2008, 09:47 AM

"TV Series..." = poor thread title

Changed to something more descriptive.

Vltros · July 22nd, 2008, 11:21 AM

My favourite ones right now (apart from Top Gear and Fifth Gear of course) are:

1.One Tree Hill (Yeah I know...'¬¬ But Sophina Bush is too much Sophia Bush

)
2. The Bing Bang Theory (Got the first season and watched it all in one afternoon. This series is full of Win)

Two I hate most:

1. Sex and the City (Any series that you are obliged to watch is always bad. But this one is specially horrible)
2. Desperate Housewives (= What I said with "Sex & the City)

matt2000 · July 22nd, 2008, 11:22 AM

In no order:

Scrapheap Challenge
Mythbusters
Dragon's Den
Gordon Ramsey's F Word
Police, Camera, Action
Doctor Who
Cops On Camera
BTCC/WTCC
F1
WRC (If these count as shows)

I don't watch anything like Heros or Supernatural, can't stand them.

can't think of many others right now. Most of the stuff I watch is on cable, from 4od/BBC iPlayer or downloaded from the FTPs.

47 · July 22nd, 2008, 12:46 PM

Two and a half men, one of the best comedy shows I've seen!!

Also, House MD and Rescue Me, must watch!!

Don't really follow anything on tv, I get the most online

Blayde · July 22nd, 2008, 12:51 PM

I stopped watching mainstream TV almost completely, nothing goo ever comes here.

Currently watching (and obv like):
Law and Order, Mythbusters, 3rd Rock FTS, Duck Dodgers, BSG, Allo Allo.

Hate:
those stupid semi-reality shows.

The_Finn · July 22nd, 2008, 12:58 PM

Shows i Enjoy:
One Tree Hill
Gossip Girl
Bones
The Unit
Greek
No Reservations
Dirty Sexy Money
Chuck
Life
Bone Kickers
Eureaka
Californication
Dexter
Avatar the last air bender
Top Chef

jesus thats alot... thank god for RSS feeds and DVR

don't like:
there aren't many shows that i activly hate other than 90% of reality TV* also i can't stand heros only because it's similar enough to rising stars that it will never get made into any form of TV/Movie

*Topchef and project runway are exceptions i don't love project runway but i will watch it if i am bored

ESPNSTI · July 22nd, 2008, 01:25 PM

I'm not going to rattle off a list, as there is too much to mention.
Instead I'm just going to list one relatively new one that caught my attention:

Middleman on ABC Family, it's quirky and cheesy, sort of like in the style of the old Batman series, but instead with the cheesyness done on purpose.

Speedtouch · July 22nd, 2008, 03:11 PM

No particular order.

Heroes
Dirty Sexy Money
A Town Called Eureka
Spooks
Waking The Dead
Grand Designs
HIGNFY
Doctor Who
The Gadget Show

There are probably more but I can't remember them. And many of them aren't on atm, so I just get by by watching repeats of TG on Dave

Red_Bull · July 22nd, 2008, 05:14 PM

Formula One
Burn Notice
24
The IT Crowd
Balls of Steel
Poker After Dark, WPT, WSOP, etc

Tend to download most of these shows though as they're either not shown here in Aus, shown months (even years) after they first aired overseas, and it means I'm not a slave to the TV Guide schedules.

Prost264 · July 22nd, 2008, 05:22 PM

Scrubs
The Office
30 Rock
Law & Order reruns
Reno 911
Entourage
Curb Your Enthusiasm

Cobol74 · July 22nd, 2008, 05:36 PM

Just discovered :
Armstrong and Miller - woot (YOUTUBE it see what I mean)

HIGNFY
QI
Red Dwarf
HHGTTG (Ok I know its old old old)
Blackadder
Mock the Week
Kenny Everett Video Show (Again old old old)
Q series esp Q6, Q7 and Q8 - old old old
Scrapheap Challenge (esp the first series - really great!)
Pushing Daiseys
TG & FG goes with out saying really
WRC & F1
Mythbusters
House
Heroes
Dog Borstal - fun actually, those dogs do not deserve those crap owners
Malcolm in the Middle
Simpsons - not as good as it once was
Never mind the Buzzcocks
Drop the Dead Donkey

Stuff I really really HATE!
Eastenders
Corry well all soaps actually
Any and all day time crap like Gerry Kyle, Trisha, you know who
Stuff with wrestlers and people fighting in cages - either a rip off, or demeaning.
BIG F***ing BROTHER - please go away. ....

That will do Donkey, that'll do.

bartboy9891 · July 22nd, 2008, 05:36 PM

I rarely watch TV now, but if I do I enjoy these:

The Simpsons
Dirty Jobs
How It's Made
various other Discovery Channel shows
Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern (I don't like the host though)

I find these two online since they aren't on TV here:
Kitchen Nightmares
Have I Got News For You

Firecat · July 22nd, 2008, 06:32 PM

I watch and love several dozen shows, hard to narrow it down. Clearly my sig shows one of my fave new shows of last season.

But as far as shows which that are airing new episodes right now, I'd have to say Big Brother and Burn Notice. I survived a Japanese Game show has been pretty good as well.

avanti · July 22nd, 2008, 06:43 PM

i loved sex and the city....

Simpsons
Documentaries
Stargate
+the occasional police chase copthing from Los Angeles... crazy mofos

ps. Reality TV, Poker & mobile chat blows more that Jenna Jameson.
TV is filled with shit these days.

Seasonone · July 22nd, 2008, 07:45 PM

The Office (US)
30 Rock
Entourage
It's always sunny in Philadelphia
The Wire (while it was on)
My name is Earl (although this last season kinda sucked)
Boondocks
The Simpsons (still entertaining)
Futurama
Aqua Teen Hunger Force
All James' shows
Pardon the Interuption
Around the Horn
Chappelle Show (reruns)

Out of those my "favorites" are I guess the office and always sunny.

Shows I hate? I don't really hate that many shows, shows I don't like I don't watch so I clump all the crappy shows in the same pot.
