I follow Chuck. It's fun, funny and women are beautiful.

Stargate(s), pick one and run with it. Though I think the upcoming Stargate Universe could be a huge bust.


I like Chuck. This season it conflicted with the Sarah Chronicles, so I'll be watching for reruns.

And don't count SGU out just yet. Lots of great shows sounded bad on paper.

I'm having the same problem with Big Bang Theory and House.

I got two more:

Flight of the Conchords
Code Monkey

Code Monkey is such a last millenium term.  Software Simian has much better cachet.

Yeah but they actually say on the site that they're going for a younger audience. For some reason I see "Hannah Montana in Space" as the working title. God I hope I'm wrong.

Breaking Bad is an excellent AMC series.  No idea when season two will start, though.

Also look for Leverage. It's on TNT. Robin Hood-esque team of con men and thieves get one back for the little guy.

I was going to mention Leverage a while ago but forgot, apparently.

I think it's only three shows in and they are on STC.

Apparently not wise enough.

Californication - Sex and the City for men, you'll also get to learn lots of terms about sexual acts that you'll have to google and then feel wrong for looking up.  :w:

Arrested Development - Terribly funny. Great characters and it has a good flow to it.

Pushing Daisies - A drama/comedy, called a dramady (I wish I was making that up!). It is great fun though, raising the dead, awkward romances and when the season ends, it shall become a comic book.

Prison Break - Season one, I wouldn't venture to far down the season two road, except for episode one, but the initial idea was superb.

Lost - Great until you actually get bored wondering about everything. Somehow my other half still watches it.

Ugly Betty - Oh, it's chewing gum for the mind :)

My dog's favourite show is Gunsmoke.  Every time I have it on, he lies down, wags his tail and stares attentively at the television screen.  I'm more of a Bonanza man myself.

Heroes. I think they kinda messed up the story a bit in the third season, but I'm guessing they're about to fix it all come the 4th season.

I've spent all day watching series 1 and 2 of Primeval.  Good stuff.

Thanks to Hulu, I'm now addicted to Highlander: The Series.  Nothing breathtaking, but it's a damned good timewaster.

Let me just add here that I'm half way through watching the entire first season of House, M.D. and am enjoying every episode. I have another eight episodes to go, and then it's on to season two, which I have all ready to go thanks in part to Mr. Internet.

Last Friday's CSI:Atlantis was EXCELLENT.

Best use of the Wraith ever.

Best use of Shepherd ever.

Best Atlantis episode ever.

Every time I hear of 30 Rock I think 3rd Rock From the Sun which they started playing again recently. I love that show!
