Your favourite TV Shows
« on: December 11, 2006, 09:28:18 PM »
With a gazillion channels today the choices are enormous.

But do you happen to have a favourite TV show?
That can be a comedy show or a drama or anything else, even Oprah (god forbid).

I'm particularly fond of The Office (UK version), Trailer Park Boys and...The Cosby Show (from the 80s).
I can even do the finger shuffle and...ah, never mind.

So, what's your favourite show on the telly?



Who loves ya, baby?

nip/tuck, but it seems to be drifting away from what I liked about it.  Rescue Me and It's Always Sunny.  Noticed I stuck on FX, yet?  Also have a lot of spike, with any of the ultimate fighting shows or CSI.  When I catch them I also watch Miami Ink and Overhaulin.
Good post, Harry.

I caught season 1 of 24 on DVD because a friend insisted I watch.  I loved it, but haven't been able to catch any of the other seasons.   :(

Yeah I watched The Unit a bit last year (despite it being overly Hollywoodized) but I gave up on after the season finally last year.  I’m guessing it’s still pretty good.  Has it become any better?  I might have to try to catch season 2 on DVD.

I only watched The Unit a couple of times last year... too much going on during the year last year.  This year, it's pretty entertaining.  Not hooked on it, but still good nonetheless!

If Rob says he wasn't hooked but it was still good nonetheless, that translates (at least for us usual mortals) into: it's been one big fraternity party with chicks and booze, and the cops just arriving... ;D

Yeah I like the unit too. Don't always get to see it though, and I can't get the damn TIVO to work.

The unit would be so much better it if didn't include the wives!

Bascially here is what the TV producers are trying to do with that show. They are trying to have the men watch by having the speical ops and action scenes, all while trying to have the women watch by having the women plots come right out of desperate housewives.

They do both poorly. Either make it about the wives or the men. But the split action thing ruins the suspence. He's getting shot at while she gets into a cat fight about the flowers on the lawn with the general's wife.

 I give it a C+.
