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?
-
Miami Ink. overhaulin. The Ultimate Fighting stuff on spike. and football lately.
-
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.
-
UFC stuff on Spike, reruns of COPS, rockumentaries on VH1
-
24... Jack Bauer kicks ass!!

24...sweeeeeeet
Prison Break
Heroes
Jericho
CSI Series
-
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. :(

Jericho is great and I also watch The Unit... but normally I TIVO those and watch at my leisure!
-
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.
-
Today its:
24, Survivor, Amazing race, Heros, Lost
-
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+.
-
Entourage (but on DVD because I don't get the premium channels)
24
Prison Break
Heroes
Jericho
Rescue Me
The Sheild
Nip/Tuck
House
Boston Legal
Overhaulin - if I'm over at my buddies house, which is about 5 times a week. He lives right next door.
I have a long list, but I don't watch anything live; gotta love the Tivo!

Funny my wife was drawn in to it because the wives. Apparently, there is a lot that happen at the home front when we leave that we don't know about or appreciate.

I dont like the Oprah show. Think the reason half the people view her show and or go to it is due to the fact she gives stuff away. My favorite TV show though is a tie between Corner Gas, and Everybody Loves Raymond. Corner Gas is a canadian show. Brent Butt is hillarious, so is Ray Romano!

The Shield
Lost
24

Does Anyone In The US, Or From Any Other COuntry On This Forum Get Corner Gas On Their Television? It Is A Canadian Based Show, So I Was Wonderin If Anyone Watches It, And What They Think Of It.
-
Never heard of Corner Gas. Can you find it on the web?

Hey Tyler, it's a funny show here is the link to their website. http://www.cornergas.com// (http://www.cornergas.com//)

Do they have an episode or bits of an episode online that you can watch?

Corner Gas is not nearly as funny as Trailer Park Boys. Another Canadian classic. That should be available on YouTube.
-

Youtube, or Myspace TV should have some clips if you search corner gas. It is a comedy about a guy named Brent who owns a gas station who has all these crazy friends and relatives, and one friend who owns a restaurant connected to his gas station. The show is filmed in Saskatewan, Canada.
-
Sounds great Ryan, will have to check it out. I am addicted to Little Mosque on the Prairie, Chilly Beach and Red Green on the CBC however.
-
Lost
25
Heros
Anything on Lifetime (yeah sure, not in the Life Time) :@`
-
Well, some current faves include The Shield, 24, Law & Order (and spin-offs), UFC, Hockey Night in Canada, The Henry Rollins Show, The Simpsons, MythBusters
I tend to like a lot of canceled shows such as Firefly, Greg the Bunny, The Wire, Chappelle's Show, Aqua Teen Hunger Force
Probably more, but this makes me look like enough of a couch potato!
-
UFC stuff on Spike, COPS, Most Amazinig Police... (chases, shootouts, etc.), rockumentaries on VH1, Seinfeld, Seinfeld, Seinfeld and....ummm.....Seinfeld

That's SasKATCHEWAN, Ryan ! :popo (gotta spell the name of my new home province right 8) There are some other interesting, quirky shows on Canadian TV ... a good one is Robson Arms about the lives and loves of residents in an Apt building in Vancouver (i think) .. And of course, there's Red Green . There are several other sitcoms and dramas so badly done as to not be worth mentioning. ....
-
Sounds great Ryan, will have to check it out. I am addicted to Little Mosque on the Prairie, Chilly Beach and Red Green on the CBC however.
I forgot about "Little Mosque" .... I thought the first two episodes were GREAT ... after that the humor really flattened out . .... Maybe the new season?

I did not like robinson arms as much as corner gas, even tho a couple of characters from it are in robinson arms. It is just not as funny to me. And I like red green, have not watched it in a while tho.

You know you're right John, I am just not getting the humor for Little Mosque like I did the first several episodes. Have to see what new shows bring...Guess I will have to stick with the old stand by of Red Green. Gotta love his quote " If women don't find ya handsome, they should at least find ya handy" :*))
-
Favorite shows: King of the Hill, First 48, that new show Human Weapon is bad ass. The Office is hilarious. Used to love the Ali G show, but then cut off HBO. I don't even think they still got it on anyway.
-
The Office
Prison Break
Lost
Heroes
Smallville...
and a new indulgence of stupid fun...."Keys to the Vip" on the canadian FUSE network!

First 48 is a great show Chico...
I also like watching Man vs. Wild, 48 Mysteries, Dateline Mysteries, and Law & Order. Also Human Weapon, and there was a show on Showtime that was good that I liked, Sleeper Cell.

By the way, did you know that Red Green (aka Steve Smith) is pretty much bald underneath that cap he always wears? How do you think he'd look as a 'sly guy'? .... ((((( kind of hard to imagine ; and cool as he is; I'm not sure 'sly' would work for him . ...... )
John
-
Gotta agree with ya John, seeing Steve Smith sly would actually be distracting from his character. Besides he probably knows what I found out: one big disadvantage of being sly Up North....too easy for deer flies and bugs to get you. BTW...was a pretty good Little Mosque tonight...back on the subtle humor track.

I think it was a re-run. was it the one where the doctor/daughter (can't remember her name) had a brief run at romance with the local fireman (with a jealous imam? )

I have heard of this Little Mosque show but I am yet to see it but have heard the subtle humor and satirizing would be right up my alley.
My fav TV show of all time is The Golden Girls(dont laugh) followed closley by the Simpsons.
Dorothy Zbornak(Bea Arthurs GG character) has one of the sharpest ,wry wit of any TV character. She is my muse.

"Little Mosque" is a Canadian production. Not sure if it's available in the US (its on CBC if you get that on cable) ..
By the way, I love Dorothy too.

Duuuude, have you seen any of the cult following there is about that show on the web? A girl I work with is obssessed with Bea Arthur...
there is a game too...which GG are you most like?... I know all this by association only...really...
OK, I'M NOT REALLY TALKING ABOUT THIS ...... I KNOW TOO MUCH SOMETIMES......

LOL...No I will have to check out this web stuff. I really dig the show but I am not that much of a GG freak. HAHA.
I'm probably most like Dorothy. I am caring,love my family, sometimes have a hard luck with things but I try to have a good attitude about things plus I can be a wicked smartass at times.

Yea- I watch a bit of the Red Green Show- I like the dvd "We Cant Help It- Were Men" for men who forget about their aniversary- it was hilarious!
-
Didn't know there WERE dvd's out. Did you find that in a store or ona website, Ryan?
-
friends - I know it's been over for a while but I'll always love that show :)
Scrubs - Zach Braff is a genius
My Name is Earl
Spongebob Squarepants lol
Kath and Kim (crazy Australian show)
Monty Python (ya can't beat 'em!)
and I enjoy crime documentaries. hmm, maybe not 'enjoy' them, but they absolutely fascinate me! ;)
I'll also watch pretty much anything that I used to watch as a kid, for purposes of nostalgia!
-
friends - I know it's been over for a while but I'll always love that show :)
When they were good they were GOOD! For some reason season 4 & 5 were the best! I think in season 5 they had the episode when Ross's girlfriend (the new Marsha Brady) shaved her head completely bald at the beach house...very funny! O0
-
Simpsons is #1.
I miss my X-files, but Supernatural's a close runner up in my book. And somehow I got hooked on smallville.(maybe because of sly anti-hero Lex Luthor)
I like shows that I can miss a few episodes and not be totally lost. I watched through the first two seasons of Prison break religiously, missed 3 nights, after that gave up on following it.
-
Re:Prison Break, The same thing with me. These new TV dramas are WAAAY to in depth and the continuing storyline makes it hard to enjoy it and follow it if you miss a few episodes.
-
24 - non stop excitement and Jack kicks ass
Lost - weird stuff but I like
The Sopranos - Simply amazing
Father Ted - don't know if you guys know this one but it is hilarious (a comedy about Irish Priests)
Battlestar Galactica - yes call me a nerd but it is actually very entertaining (the new version that is)
X-Files - cult classic
Family Guy - freakin amazin
Smallville - hot chicks and of course Superman
Cheers - one of the best American comedys EVER B@^

I like law and order versions, mythbusters and sports, plus late night TV shows that are off the air now.
