    Same here, I'm just not really into the hospital shows.

    Scrubs <- Don't know much about hospital lingo but this is hilarious
    The Daily Show <- Great funny pun on politics
    Colbert Report <- Hahah completely random
    Dirty Jobs <- Great host and really Dirty Jobs
    Deadliest Catch <- Just wow
    Robot Chicken <- Very funny show by Seth Green and some other guy
    Samurai Champloo <- Great action packed anime with good humor. Greaterkhaan, why did it end?

    I can only imagine that they ran out of ideas, I would think it's too good of a show to lose funding. Too bad, its a pity they couldn't go longer. Oh, and I think that Robot Chicken is more random than Colbert, that whole show is just random clips of dolls, action figures, and puppets.

    No way! That sucks. It was awesome, I still like watching the re-runs anyways, they are pretty funny. And you are right about Robot Chicken. Colbert had a random-like episode tonight I and I couldn't help mentioning it either. BTW, does Robot Chicken have another season or did I miss it already?

    I think there are new episodes on Sundays iirc. Samurai Champloo was good,but it was rather short watching the reruns is fun though. The anime that I miss is Cowboy Bebop haven't seen it on in a while.

    Nothing. All my shows are off the air.

    They even took PBS off cable here and I can't watch my cooking shows on Saturday afternoons anymore. No more Julia Child and Jacques Pepin. Total bummer.org.

    All I watch now is the news. Lots and lots of it.

    I don't watch that much TV, I'll watch decent cartoons or comedy/satire when they're on but not religiously.

    The only two shows I've been actively following have already been discussed in this thread, both aired their season finales on Sunday: Rome and Battlestar Galactica.

    The second series of Rome was great overall but I found the last episode a little disappointing even though it did some clever things (I was hoping for more action...) I also hoped they'd skip on even a couple of years to show the "official" birth of the Roman Empire (when Octavian becomes Augustus) but anyway. It was a good series even with it's historical liberties, anyone know if there are any more planned? (it would surprise me as in comparison to the period depicted, very little epic drama occurs for the next 30 odd-years)

    The Battlestar finale was pretty insane. The first part was strange enough, but the second was really something. I was disappointed initially that they didn't deal with some of the plot threads I thought had been set up, but after watching it again I really liked it. The scenes with the music were actually pretty disturbing, though I did give a momentary when I realised what song it actually was. Sadly it hasn't been rating so hot so it looks like the next season will be the last, I hope it'll bring the story to a satisfying conclusion.

    Yeah, my brain was reeling the better part of the season finale -- I kept saying "Woah!!" and "WTF??!" to myself. I have to admit, however, I loved how the episode messed with both the minds of both characters and the audience.

    It is a pity that the ratings have dropped so much, though. I'm puzzled by it, as I think the show has only gotten better with time. I'm much more enthralled with the show now than when I first started watching it, when I was watching it only reluctantly (and then only at my then-roommate's behest, as he insisted I would like it).
