I've seen it but I'm not really a fan. A couple of my coworkers love it, though. Personally I'd rather read a book.

FWIW, my favorite show is probably Bones followed by Without A Trace and Cold Case.

I like Sons! No spoilers though please. I watch it a day or two later online.
Life has three aspects: Paradox, Humor, and Change.

Paradox: Life is a mystery; don't waste time figuring it out.
Humor: Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure
Change: Know that nothing stays the same.

Favorites...
1. Hannity (Fox News)
2. The O'Reilly Factor (Fox News)
3. The Golf Channel Network (all shows)
4. Oakland A's Baseball.
5. Chopped

Other than that, don't really watch many series.

I'm really more of a Book guy which lets me move at my own pace, savor the story and characters, and embellish the elements however I choose.

But for the occasional TV, the ones I consistently watch (usually after several episodes have collected on the DVR) are:
Suits
White Collar
Royal Pains
Psych


And I'll still fall back on Monk even though the series has ended.

Ive never watched a full episode. The blonde actor is British and started his career playing a gay teenager in "Queer as Folk" the stuff he did! Totally unrecogniseable in Sons of Anarchy.

At the moment Im hooked on True Blood, can't help it!

I presume you mean Charlie Hunan from British Queer as Folk.  I'll have to check it out.  I don't watch much television but I'm hooked on British & American Being Human.  The new series won't start until winter here in the USA.  The British series is on BBC America and the American series is on the SyFy network.

Yes SimpltRed, Charlie Hunan. He is unrecogniseable in the UK version of Queer as Folk.

I love "Being Human" too, not seen the US version.

Current favorites:
Person of Interest
XIII (on REELS channel)
True Justice (also on REELS)

One of the better shows, IMO, of recent past was a show on A&E called Rubicon. It was about an intelligence contractor that worked for CIA/NSA. They were responsible for sifting through incident reports from all over the world and determining patterns and making predictions of terrorist strikes. A very intelligently done show. The way the show was structured a viewer really had to think to keep up which is probably why it only lasted one season, no spoonfeeding. If you lost track of what was going on you might as well quit watching because none of it would make sense. I miss that show but I understand why it didn't last.

Much of TV has gone down the Loo in the US. Reality TV, is food for those that refuse to think, like the talking haters on opinions shows...these programs are cheap to produce and make easy money . I'd like to see more thinking persons comedy and drama and programing like on PBS.

Was disappointed when that show didn't last.
