NUMB3RS: A fairly light, yet still interesting crime drama with a decent dose of humor. Had to give it up, though, as it conflicted with Battlestar Galactica. (I also just don't have enough hours in a week to watch that much TV!)

Probably one of the only tv shows i watch semi-regularly (i keep forgetting rather than getting bored) I think its the maths that keeps me intrested as im on a maths type course myself so i can somewhat relate (slightly get my head around his usual mathmatical speech) without the maths i would probably lose interest...

I also wanted to ask about this battlestar galactica, i see it praised so often i have been thinking of getting it, i imagine its some future setting with a few different races/factions in space ? if its somewhat along the lines of the star treks when they were involved in large scale space warfare i may consider getting it...

House, Scrubs, NCIS sometimes, and all the Law & Order reruns on TNT and USA, I watch Bones as well. Don't watch much TV just these couple of shows.

It is simply one of the greatest sci-fi shows ever.

There isn't really many races/factions. Here is a brief background summary:

Some miniseries spoilers here

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Basically, humans live on 12 planets. 40 years ago, they had a war with sentient robots they built called Cylons. A truce was established and the Cylons dissappeared. Now, as Battlestar Galactica is being decommisionned, the Cylons manage to take down the human defence systems and launch massive attacks on all human population centers. Battlestar Galactica and its civilian fleet is all that remains of the human race and the fleet attempts to find the lost 13th tribe that is supposed to live on Earth.

I'm rewatching Rome seasons I and II on my computer. It's a shame they didn't make a 3. It could have been quite good.

I thought there were more Lost fans on this forum. Did you all give it up?

[LittleGrizzly]

I could never say i really got into it, im sure i watched at least 5 episodes and hardly anything happened!

I like to think of myself as someone who can cope with a slow paced show but it was just too slow for my liking...

Thanks Tevash ill have a look into it...

Are there two different stargate series' or is grizzly just easily confuddled ? if there are two different ones whats the difference and which ones better ?

[TevashSzat]

There are two.

Stargate SG1 is the first and just finished with 11 seasons I think.

Stargate Atlantis is a spin-off and will begin to air its 5th season in the middle of July.

I think the quality of the two are pretty comparable, but SG Atlantis, imo, is better simply because Rodney is so awesome

I've been watching S1-2 of Weeds on Blu-Ray. Pretty good show, can't wait for the 3rd season to come out on DVD.

I've also been waiting for the 3nd Season of Dead Like Me although quite frankly I find the main character a little too lackluster and annoyingly unwilling to perform her reaping responsibilities. Although the secondary characters make up for the main characters faults.
