What are your favorite TV shows?

I used to watch a lot more TV than I do now. I stopped watching it mostly because it's gone to complete shit.

However, my two favorite shows are Homicide: Life on the Street and Law and Order (the original).

TV sucks. Watch the Science channel, you might learn something.

24 fucking owns. Lost is good, too. Everything else is sports or the occasional History or Discovery channel special.

Mythbusters are cool, too.

I wish I hadn't missed the 24 bus, but I'm all caught up now on Lost. I mostly watched the entire first season after the second season started, ordering from netflix, and the local movie stores all in a week...24 episodes with some friends of ours. It was ridiculous. We had an alliance, and we organized our netflix movies to all come in (four accounts) so we could always have the next disc.

then, the second season had already started but we work wednesday nights...so we had to wait until internet was connected again so we could buy them on itunes. It's an obsession, I swear to god, I dreamt of it all night last night. (we watched the first three of the second season back to back until 1am!)

I watched tonight's episode, and have no idea what's happened between the fourth season and last night's show... but it's okay, because I will watch them when Scott gets here!

that's pretty much the only show I watch that I'm into. When I'm flipping, I love "The Soup" (best silly show ever) and I like Jon Stewart...and Stephen Colbert too but only "the word"...the rest is too much. anyway, I don't "have" to watch any of these. Just Lost.

I like the Mind Freak show, but I only ever catch it on by accident. I'd like to watch that regularly.

I don't follow many shows, but I've started to follow 24 this season. I'd like to check the other seasons out now. Something else I've started watching is Boston Legal. Shatner is pretty damn funny on the show.

OK, yes, the Daily Show and, to a lesser extent, the Colbert Report are definitely worth watching. Them I do watch. Other than that, it's sport or discovery/history/science/etc.

Lost. Every Wednesday, I'm there.
CSI Las Vegas. I only watch them on Spike. I never remember what day or time the new ones are on.
I'm really ashamed of the next one. I'm debating on if I should even admit to this...It's my guilty pleasure.

You couldn't be more wrong.

I watch a lot of TV.

Lost
Scrubs
Office (the British one is million times better but bleh)
Earl
Everyone Hates Chris
Arrested Development
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Sopranos
MythBusters
Daily Show (if I'm up)
Survivor (I know it sucks, but watcha gonna do)

With an occasional House, West Wing and CSI (regular only)if I'm bored.

I also watch an unhealthy amount of NBA games. About 150 games a season, at 2h30min a game, that's probably more time than I played EQ.

true. I swear they find some of the dumbest people in the US to drop on a deserted isle.

I guess the new season Survivor Stupid Isle or whatever it is is comign out. looks like they are splitting up into 4 groups older men, older women, younger women, younger men. Now that the young girls cant flaunt tits to get them to the next point in the game I guess they will have to actually fucking do something.

I wish they would split them up on IQ or on racial background. Would be interesting who did the most around thier camp in that aspect. As long as conditions in all four camps were primarily the same.
