What Are Your Favourate TV Shows?

Morning all :cool:

In my office at home I havw my 2 lappie that I do all my work on and then my old desktop which is now set up as a media centre full of well all sorts of stuff anyway...............

When Im working or just sat here pretendng to work (shhhhhhhhh) I usually have somekind of TV show on in the background I get a little OCD about watching them sometimes lol.

Its Dexter at the mo just watched season 1,2 and 3 and started 4 this morning, before this it has been NCIS, all the CSI's and so on............

SO what do you watch?? I need something to obsess me when season 4 of Dexter is finished :)

Chris

Can't help you there Chris - I only watch the non-fiction stuff [Coast - Beautiful MInds - Invisible Worlds - Life on Earth - that sort of thing] and I have to make special effort to find the time for that.. God bless the BBC and its iPlayer...

Radio however is on all the rest of the time [iPlayer again]; R3's 'Through the Night' is a favorite when I am working, if thats not too far off-topic [classical music is far less distracting I find, and that program is 6 hours a day, every day - more than enough; jazz is good too]

Choices have gotten slimmer.
between the
so you want to be a ........(usually popstar, dancer etc.)
Dancing with the.... (stars, have beens, etc.)
Idols and Xfactor, and many many other progams like that.
And let us not forget the reality soaps, or policechases etc.
and the many many forensic programs, there is not so much left.

I do like, Supernatural and stuff like that, but even the
vampire series turned into mushy soaps like vampire diaries, true blood
started here, so I have to look into that.

Basically, I am more on discovery now, and science/history programs,
and I watch the occasional movie on the tube(if it isn`t the Xth rerun ;) )

And I have more time for this program ofcourse, drawing stuff, being creative.
So that is a good thing, and I go to the movie theatre more, also a good thing.

Agree with Steve, mainly documentaries, but I find that Radio 4 or Radio 7 in the background is good [broadcast on the telly so that's not OT;)]. Rarely book a date with my TV for a regular program but NCIS is one of the programs Chris - Soquili and myself have recently had cold water poured over our heads for mentioning Ziva ... so I won't! ;))

Cote De Pablo grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrooooooooooooooooooooowwwwww wwwwwwwwwwllllllllllllllllll


:)

I like a good mystery. But There are so few of them :( One gem though is Murdoch Mysteries, a Canadian show set in Toronto in the 1800's. I also like Vampire Diaries, my daughter got me hooked on it

Agree with ChrisBro - Cote - NCIS
When I watch TV it's usually NCIS, CSI (own all the seasons), House, Fringe and 24 along with Discovery/Learning/History Channels. Other times it's movies - ( collect DVD's )

"Fringe" or "The Big Bang Theory" - Depends on the mood.

However, Normally unless there's a good movie on, I prefer the computer ..

Not much of a TV watcher at all. In fact I only watch live Rugby Union these days. My favourite programs are/were The Sopranos, The West Wing and House. Even then I came to these series very late, and I prefer to watch them on DVD so that I can choose to see as much of them at a time as I want. I have completely given up on British Broadcasting now, the news is just propaganda and the presenters seem to think their audience are all 4 years old...with the exception of Gaby Logan and she has other attributes which may be apparent:smug: ...and she knows her rugby.

Wallander.

Only three shows I try not to miss:

Top Gear
Damages
Criminal Minds

Firstly, because it's real, sports, usually hockey, football (CFL & NFL) and baseball.
Second, I like CSI (all flavours), Medium, Dexter, The Mentalist, Ghost Whisperer, Criminal Minds, Num3ers, Law & Order (all versions)

Yes, I know, I would know Xara much better if I stayed away from the TV...however what really happens is my wife PVRs the shows, she watches them and sometimes, but not often, I watch them and then they disappear from the PVR....no real loss, there are reruns during the summer.

Really, except for sports, I could live without TV.

Lot's of good shows above.
Off the top of my head (including some already mentioned):

House
West Wing
Modern Family (most brilliant sitcom I've seen in ages)
The Closer
Rescue Me
Flash Forward
MASH
Friday Night Lights
Homicide, Life in the Streets (gotta love Munch)
The Prisoner (original, the remake sucked)
Sopranos
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip (short-lived but great)
Jericho
Northern Exposure
Numb3rs
Mad Men
The Fugitive (original series)
Band of Brothers
From the Earth to the Moon
Twighlight Zone

I'm not much of a TV watcher these days, but I like Charmed, and Mythbusters.
Charmed are all older episodes but I like it anyway.

mmmmmmmm Homicide Life In The Streets that looks like a good candidate :)

Sure I would get lots more work done if I just put some music on but I never get time to watch tv usually so sitting here for 12+ hours a day with it on in the background seems logical somehow ( too me anyhow lmao), just about to watch the last in season 4 of Dexter what a great show that is really liked this, season 5 back in September oh and just downloaded the latest Breaking Bad that aired in the States last night, so that is on my hit list for later today as well.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh its a hard life :)

LOST

thats it...

I rarely watch TV anymore.

I think there's alot of good shows on and so much to choose from. I like just about anything but I only watch a few shows regularly, though all the shows mentioned are great shows and I've seen them all a few times before.

I was in the Girl's Octect, the Glee club and A Capella choir so I love to watch American Idol...also:
24
I Shouldn't Be Alive
Fringe
CSI (on at the same time as Fringe so we watch it later on On Demand)
The Mentalist
