Title: What TV Shows do you watch ?
Post by: Acrossmultiverse on July 03, 2011, 07:45:04 PM
I'm looking for a new TV Show to watch, I liked Dexter, The Office, How I Met Your Mother, Lost. And other cool (well, more or less) stuff. What are your favourite TV Shows ? What do you recommend ?

Criminal Minds
Lie to Me
Bones
In Plain Sight

NatGeoChannel
The entire set of Science Channels
All of the History Channels
Occasionally A&E and TLC when I'm really bored.

Otherwise I read... unless I'm writing. Which still counts since I have to read over what I'm writing in order to write it.

I love Law and Order.  Especially Special Victims Unit.

I also wanted to catch up on Parenthood, but they don't have it on Nutflix.


For comedy, I recommend Arrested Development and Strangers with Candy.  I believe each had three seasons before cancellation.

Love Word World.  Havana isn't that into it. 

She loves Sid though.  I find Gerald and Maye annoying because it's obvious that they are adults trying to do kid voices.  You're not supposed to think about it.

That's the big problem I have with Sid too.  Adults playing kids just doesn't work.  Ian didn't get into Word World until a few months ago, so in a couple years Havana should like it.

If you're looking for stuff on DVD (or Netflix or whatever), I recommend Alias and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

These days I watch Doctor Who and Torchwood. I also like Glee, Vampire Diaries, HIMYM, True Blood and a whole bunch of other shows.

Aside from pretty much what everyone else said, TOP GEAR.

What can be better than watching British guys driving cars really fast and trying to do crazy things with said cars?

The Gillian Anderson show.  She had a male co-host and they occasionally featured aliens, more so as the show progressed.  I was surprised to hear Canadians call it the X-Files.  That doesn't make a lot of sense, but then again when do Canadians ever make sense?  *shakes head* Milk in bags...

Supernatural is a pretty good TV show! and I like The Big Bang Theory, just because of how much I'm apparently like Sheldon

Well, I think Sheldon would have taken to heart the TOS of this site and posted an introductory thread in the New Kids section, so in that regard you are not apparently like Sheldon.

I suggest you go and sodomise yourself with a double ended dildo.

You might want to... rephrase that.

Dang! I misread that as "I suggest you go and ban my sorry little ass".

Sorry.

I used to watch very little TV... and then I started dating my fiance, who is a TV connoisseur. Needless to say I'm now forced to watch all sorts of television. Unfortunately, he tends to have the taste of a middle aged housewife leaving me to suffer through shows such as Grey's Anatomy, House or Cougar Town (okay, I actually like this show but would never admit to him).

Shows I -actually- enjoy:

Bobs Burgers
Doctor Who
Archer
Workaholics
Castle
Adventure Time
Regular Show
American Dad
Big Bang Theory
Walking Dead
Being Human
Futurama
The Guild
Battlestar Galactica
Firefly
How I Met Your Mother
Top Gear
The Inbetweeners
Breaking Bad
Weeds

"...he tends to have the taste of a middle aged housewife leaving me to suffer through shows such as ... Cougar Town."

Is your fiance Abed?

And what does he think of Cougarton Abbey and Professor SpaceTime?

Strange that there's no mention of Mad Men on here--it's one of my favorites, but finished for now until they are done filming the next season, which probably won't be till the spring at least. Also Weeds, Game of Thrones (finished till next summer I think) and in the past, the Sopranos.

I'm not a huge TV show watcher, so I don't end up watching many. My wife is the real nut.

It's a great show, Im glad I gave it a chance. I love Nathan Fillion and I'm glad he's finally got a show that's doing decently. You also watch Weeds as well? What do you think of the current, and past couple seasons? When it first started it was great, but I hate to say IMO it's gotten to the point of ridiculous and crossed over into unbelievable. I almost stopped watching because of that.... but strangely enough, that's also what's keeping me coming back.
