    Thumbs up TV Shows Thread

    I don't know if there is one of these already, but too bad.

    Shows I watch:

    Battlestar Galactica
    Rome
    House
    Stargate Series
    Prison Break

    Those are the ones I watch every episode of. I just watched BSG S3EP20 and man it was amazing. EP 20 is worth watching the first 3 seasons for. Excellent show. Rome is also very excellent, I am about to watch S2EP10 here in a minute. House is good and Prison Break is excellent. Stargate is like part of my life now (10 years anyway), till they canceled SG-1, but what can you do. Prison Break amazes me with all the twists and turns they can put into the story. It's crazy. So what show do you all watch?

    I watch several shows.

    My Name is Earl - Brilliant show! Highly recommended!
    Prisonbreak - I'm finding Season 2 pretty boring
    Lost - I started watching Season 2 and now I just can't watch, no matter how tedious it can get.
    The Apprentice - Yes that show with Trump. It's alright...
    Survivor - When its on.

    How did you find the 20th episode of season 3? When four of the final five are revealed! I love it - cant wait for season 4, which is presumably going to be the last season.

    Prison break, and Rome at the moment. The latter is excellent, in almost every way.

    I don't have television, always buy my series. Currently very much enjoying Shogun, the music is a bit oldfashioned but the rest holds up pretty well. Also loved Rome, not as good as I-Claudius (imvho) but it is amazing how they make the city seem real and alive. Lost is also fun, but I hate the Dan Brownist way of building tension, never more then a tease. Watch it for that anna lucia chick mostly, looks so cute with a gun! Love miniseries, a movie is just too short to tell a good story.

    The only show I currently make a point of tuning in for every week is the second series of Life on Mars. Well, I watch Neighbours too.

    House is my favourite contemporary show, but they're not broadcasting the third series in the UK yet.

    Is that the one with the gay undertaker? If it is I think it stinks, no action, only over dramatized drama.

    The shows I watch regularly are:

    Battlestar Galactica
    House
    NCIS
    Numb3rs
    South Park

    I would watch Rome again (I watched the 1st season pretty relgiously), but I'm reluctant to shell out the extra cash just to add the HBO channels to my cable TV package. So for now, I settle for reading the recaps on Television Without Pity.

    Holy crap! I spent that entire episode going "WTF??!". I was tripping out the entire time. Great episode, though!

    Lost - been watching it since the beginning. Maybe it's why I have a higher tolerance with it than most. Because I've invested more time into it.

    Heroes - Likewise, although I like the pace better than Lost's. Although the month-long hiatuses are getting annoying.

    South Park - although not as much recently because it shares a timeslot with Lost.

    Survivor - Yes, I still watch it.

    Amazing Race - See above.

    I don't really watch many shows with regularity, a few are:

    Jeapordy- Not a huge Trebek, but the show's still usually interesting.

    Pardon the Interruption- I pay more attention than I should to sports.

    Family Guy- Often stupid, often ridiculous, occasionally offensive, nearly always funny.

    Futurama- See above.

    Samurai Champloo- Witty, quirky, good action, unfortunately the series ended quickly. Definitely an "interesting" twist on the time period.

    Oh yeah, forgot Amazing Race.

    The last season we got was the Family one. Gah! I almost stopped watching the show after that. It was just horrible.
