Favorite TV Shows

[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'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........

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!

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.

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.

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!
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!
