Favorite TV Shows

[Pam]

Well I know I am veering a little off topic here, but I thought since we had a "Favorite Movies" thread and a "Least Favorite Movie" thread maybe we'd like to have a go at TV programs.

My present favorites include Everybody Loves Raymond and Becker (which unfortunately has been moved to Sunday night and does not follow Raymond anymore).

Some past favorites are Seinfeld, ER (back in the days of George Clooney **swoon** although I am old enough probably to be his mother!) LOL! Also, Golden Girls, All in the Family, The Jeffersons.

And I also don't know how I could have forgotten The Simpsons, King Of The Hill and The Osbournes - all hilarious!

Ali G
:D My sister showed me a few Ali G videos when I was visiting her in England - I still laugh sometimes thinking about the one where he visited Wales and was talking to some coal miners - he told one of them "that's a crap job, mate!" when the man explained what he does. That phrase pops into my head a lot when I'm at work;) ......

He he he - It's an Antique Show - yep another one!
People get their antiques valued and if they want - the articles go into an auction - and whatever is realised they keep. Some of the things go way above the valuation - others of course don't even make the reserve!

Friends
ER
and
Nascar

Now, I make sure that I watch Friends and Nascar, maybe catch a few others here and there, and try to watch a few things on Animal Planet such as Planet's Funniest Animals. I love that show, the animals get me laughing to hard and I absolutely love to laugh!

I don't think Mark and I would have any problems getting along...he stayed home to watch NASCAR and likes the Dukes!

I didn't think of cartoons. I like the Simpsons and King of the Hill... and in college we never missed South Park :)

I agree with Amy, and I occasionally watch Nascar also!! ;) I don't think we would have problems!!;)
Dog lover, nascar lover, and duke lover, hmmmm he needs to start posting!!! lol!! He could be angus'daddy!!
lol
Back in Jan I went bowling with friends, (it was kinda setup :rolleyes: ) and when we left the restaraunt we were pretending to be the Dukes. And then when we left the bowling alley, there was a truck like Uncle Jessie's!! We were dying laughing!!
Sometimes on the USA or TNN network they play reruns of the Dukes, but they took them off for awhile, I was bummed!! Oh and tvland played the ATEAM!! Loved that one too!!

What a great show!!! And a family favorite when it was on in primetime. But I've enjoyed it on Nick at Nite from time to time, as well!!! :)

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

I work at night so I miss all the prime time shows... but it doesn't matter my ALL TIME favorite shows are Planets Funniest Animals and Funniest Home Vidoes.
I used to be a HUGE wresteling fan.... before it got all trashy.... when GOLDBERG WAS THE MAN!!!!!!!

[wolf_Q]

Originally posted by anna_66

LOL ok I admit it, I watch Survivor. I found it more interesting last time because of the Utah girl (Oh my Heck!) ha ha. I just don't consider it in my "favorites" catagory, lol. Actually, the reason I started watching CSI was because it came after Survivor.

I also LOVE just about anything on Animal Planet. Unfortunately, I don't have cable. :( So I go to my friends house and I can watch that channel for hours straight...it drives her nuts and she turns the T.V. off on me! I also like to watch MTV and VH1 over there, but it seems they play 90% sucky music videos most of the time.

I like the shows like 20/20, Dateline, 60 minutes, etc. I find them fascinating. :D I watch most of the shows on Fox also--such as Malcom in the Middle, Seinfeld, Futurama (I think my friend Cassie and I are the only people who still watch that show), etc. I like other sitcoms such as Friends, Frasier, Just Shoot Me, Third Rock from the Sun, etc.

But THE SIMPSONS is still the best show!! :D

Actually, he has a screen name (he wanted to vote in the funny dog pic contest) not angus'daddy~just Angus! And he's never posted, if he wants to add anything, he makes me post it:rolleyes: Needless to say, he can't type very well!
If you all have that much in common, you & Amy should come down sometime & we could all go out!

[shais_mom]

OH ANNA! That would be a riot!!!


I forgot to say about the DUKES:
I have one of the plastic General Lee's that I have had since I was a kid and my oldest nephew was playing with it a couple years ago and he was starting to talk and I picked it up and he said "MY CAR" and I said "NO my car" he said "No my car" and I said "listen here, This has been MY CAR since before you were even an apple in your mom and dad's eye, THAT IS MY CAR!" ahh trying to reason with a 2 year old!!!
:D

I love the ARS.

I am kinda partial to Pawn Stars and Am. Pickers....

I root against the pickers and pawners.

--------------

Earlier I saw a guy with a baseball jersey that belonged to Don Drysdale.

He played ball for the Dodgers and was issued an old DD shirt.

In the old days, the equipment was recycled by giving it to the minor league players to use.


The shirt was from 1966 and, check this out....

It was worth 20 to 30 THOUSAND DOLLARS!

that was too cool!

[Suki Wingy]

[Randi]

What fun... an old thread from 2002 popped up. :D

Since then, I have enjoyed watching "Friends" - "Manor of the Glenn" - "Top Gear" and The Graham Norton Show . Oh, and "To the Manor born" was quite good, but that is old.

[Suki Wingy]

I'd like to add Red Dwarf and The Friday/Sunday Night Project.

[smokey the elder]

There's nothing new on this season that I can get into, now that LOST is over. *sniff* However, there's always The Universe, which is back. Into the Wormhole, with Morgan Freeman narrating, was on over the summer. That show has some really far-out, cutting edge cosmology and pics that look GREAT in HD!:)

[Roxyluvsme13]

There's nothing new on this season that I can get into, now that LOST is over. *sniff*
I'm glad to see someone else is as highly upset as me that LOST is over :p. I haven't finished all of season six yet though, I'm kind of procrastinating watching it cause then it will be officially over.

[cassiesmom]

Did anyone see "Undercover Boss" yesterday? It was Todd Ricketts, from the family that now owns the Chicago Cubs. I liked the part at the very end where he got to work the scoreboard (Wrigley and Fenway Park have the only hand-turned scoreboards in baseball) and put up the white W flag. I haven't been to a Cubs game in a long time because everything about it is so expensive- parking, tickets, something to drink at the game. It was fun to see Chicago on TV. I really liked the NASCAR one- both the boss and the different jobs he did -- and the lady from Great Wolf Lodge.

Here's the Cubs W flag-- they fly it when the team wins

And The Amazing Race ... was in Saint Petersburg, Russia and I've been there! I had goose bumps when I saw some of the places they went. I was disappointed for the team that got eliminated, but they did miss part of instructions.

And The Amazing Race ... was in Saint Petersburg, Russia and I've been there! I had goose bumps when I saw some of the places they went. I was disappointed for the team that got eliminated, but they did miss part of instructions.

Did anyone see "The Amazing Race" last night? The teams were in Bangladesh. I need to study my geography! I had to look on a map of the world to remember where Bangladesh is! (It's in Asia, shares a border with India.) When I saw it I thought of George Harrison's Concert for Bangladesh. They were in the capital city of Dhaka, which is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. The pit stop was at a 17th century fortress. That is a place in the world I'll never visit, but I'm glad I got to see it on this show. I was disappointed for the team that was eliminated.

[Karen]

I like geography, and remember so many incidences of floods and natural disasters in Bangladesh, that I knew the woman who basically said "Yay! Bangladesh!" had no idea what she was in for. I was okay that the eliminated team got the boot, and thought he handled it pretty graciously. After all, they probably wouldn't have been last had he not stopped to get a burger at the airport, and missed the chance for an earlier flight that two other teams subsequently found.

[cassiesmom]

The teams were in South Korea on last night's show and they all commented about being aware of the difficult political situation between South and North Korea. My dad served in the Korean WAr.

[RICHARD]

Has anyone seen "Boardwalk Empire"? What do you think so far? We're already hopelessly hooked on it.

Have not seen it, but will name a pet "Nucky" when it comes time.


DO NOT WASTE your time with the New Top Gear/USA.
-------------------

About the Amazing Race?

I am not a real "geography wiz" but kinda know where stuff is at. I find the "Yay, Bangladesh" comment to be funny and sad. I think the idea of winning the money supercedes the thought of picking up an atlas and reading it?

Timbuktu and Cucamonga are real places!;)


The one thing that bugs me happened last night in with the cabdriver that got ticked at the one couple.

THey are racing, but does that really mean you have to promote the idea of the "Ugly American" across the globe?

-------------------

I still like Survivor.

I would kill to go 'camping' in the places that show has been.

An Idiot Abroad.


http://science.discovery.com/tv/an-idiot-abroad/


Brit comedian Ricky Gervais sends his producer Karl Pilkington abroad tho see the world. KP get his travel plans at the last minute via cell phone.

One of the cleverest 'reality shows' ever.

One complaint?

No closed captioning, sometimes that brit accent throws me off.

Yes. we both really enjoy this show. Recorded it tonight - Westminster was on. Will watch when Douglas gets home from work tomorrow.

So I've noticed I quit watching "Two and a Half Men".. I don't know, it's just not so.. funny anymore. Such a pity about Charlie Sheen, though. If he really wants to help himself to get better, he will.

Otherwise, "Bones" and "The Mentalist" - getting really good into halfway season, now..

I'm bumping up this old thread because I noticed something with "Undercover Boss" the past couple of weeks. The lady who heads up Cinnabon also worked for Hooters corporate, so they showed her meeting with the CEO of Hooters (who was also an undercover boss) for some advice and tips. Then last night was a second trip for the head of a group of time-share resorts. I like that they are expanding it in these little ways.

My favorite programs right now are:

Revenge
Blue Bloods
Hawaii Five-0
Shark Tank (got hooked on that recently)
The Voice
Criminal Minds
Mob Doctor (it may get cancelled but I'm enjoying it right now)

I'm not one for watching much on the regular network channels with the exception of the morning shows like GMA and Rachel Ray, and shows like Dateline or 20/20. I prefer Animal Planet, History Channel, Discovery, etc, and the shows that they carry. I'm hooked on Deadliest Catch, and tho it can be disgusting, I find "Hoarding-Buried Alive" to be riveting at times. I guess I'm just blown away with some of the conditions that people actually create for themselves and live in - a real eye-opener. YUK!!! And please-please-please whatever channel you are - send Honey Boo-Boo and her entire family packing. What a waste of good air time. Disgusting........:mad:

[Karen]

We DVR and watch all sorts of stuff, Elementary, science shows, the Gold mining shows, Project Runway ...

I have never seen any of Honey Boo Boo's show, but another that is a mystery in its appeal to me is Dance Moms - I tried to watch it a couple times and just found Abby mean, and nothing particularly redeemable about any of it. It just made me think every single one of the kids is gonna need therapy later in life after dealing with all that abuse! (Disguised as 'commitment to dance' and really commitment to winning at any cost.)

[pomtzu]

Any show that exploits children needs to be off the air. Toddlers and Tiaras is THE WORST!!!!! IMO - these parents are just pimping their kids and asking for trouble. Look at what happened to Jon Benet Ramsey! And these shows about pregnant teens just glorifies teen pregnancy in the eyes of some of the kids that watch. Some of the lessons that these shows send??!! - what the networks do for bucks and ratings! Outrageous.

[caseysmom]

The only shows I go out of my way to watch are modern family and the neightbors other than that I watch the cooking channels

[momcat]

There are a few favorites here. I'm into Survivor, The Good Wife, and both Law & Order and Law & Order SVU. Since I work with the Family Court through my job, I watch Judge Judy mostly for comiic relief plus that's Groucho's favorite show. He curls up next to me watching intently and at times he'll meow his opinion. I do miss Harry's Law with Kathy Bates.

Mike and I are both hopelessly hooked on Boardwalk Empire, we plan our Sundays around it.

I agree Honey Boo Boo is a waste of time, so is The Medium. Don't know why that station puts so much junk on TV.

Because it's all about their ratings, and there are millions of people out there that just love to watch this kind of garbage!

[Randi]

I enjoy watching documentaries, some cooking shows and a program called Deadline, which is mostly about politics - and of course, a good film.

Have to add "The Daily Show" - I see that when I remember it's on. It's on in the daytime, where I normally don't watch TV.

[cassiesmom]

I'm enjoying "Too Cute" on Animal Planet very much! Today I saw three wrinkly, adorable Shar Pei puppies- Raisin, Pancake and Peaches. Raisin was black and his sisters were tan. They were so little and sweet! I didn't know that the Shar Pei has a blue tongue, so I learned something from "Too Cute"!

Now that I don't have Tuesday evening rehearsals anymore I am watching "NCIS" regularly. Great cast and fun guest stars- Joe Spano, and Robert Wagner as DiNozzo's father.

[cassiesmom]

I did a search on "The Amazing Race" and found this thread from 2002 that had recently been bumped! Thanks, Richard!

Anyway... favorite TV shows (besides "The Amazing Race") --
Undercover Boss -- season premiere tonight!
The Good Wife
The Mentalist (Simon Baker ... *drool*)
Criminal Minds
Anything with "Law and Order" in the title, but especially SVU
The Big Bang Theory

Favorite past TV shows...
M*A*S*H
WKRP in Cincinnati
Cheers

Undercover Boss is NOT one of my favs anymore after last night's episode featuring Doug Guller, the CEO of "Bikinis", a Texas-based chain of restaurants along the lines of Hooters and Tilted Kilt. He fired one employee on national television - and offered another breast augmentation if she could improve her performance for six months. The whole thing was creepy.

Yikes, sounds awful! What a way to get young women to think their only valuable asset is their cup size! Yuck!

Updated faves and not so faves:

New faves:
NASCAR
Any cosmology show (The Universe; Stripping the Cosmos, etc.
All paranormal investigation shows are off the list since some Ghosthunters past cast members debunked some of the finds. Very disappointing. Take a dodgy field and make it even worse.
The Big Bang Theory: I went to school with those folks!:D
Once Upon a Time
Grimm
Constantine

Continuing:

Doctor Who!
Green Bay Packers
Jeopardy! (but am disappointed at the quality of the play lately. Alex is getting really snarky, too.)

[Vette]

Nothing really new to add. still watching Star Trek Voyager
Firefly(flipping off Fox for cancelling it still)
Frasier

animes
Steins; Gate
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion
Speed Grapher(warning: the first 3episodes have ew scenes. just saying)

Been interesting watching the Ultimate Survival Alaska show, it is not a false, "someone gets voted off" type of survival, but actually the challenges of trekking across Alaska wilderness, with various goal and rewards set up, but navigating wild creeks, ice floes, glaciers, etc. There's still the team and human dynamics and interactions, but the stakes are much more real!
