I couldn't get into Legend of the Seeker since I have read all 11(!) Sword of Truth novels on which it is based. Too many plot discontinuities!

Faves: Lost; Dr. Who; Torchwood; Caprica; any Green Bay Packers game ; Jeopardy!; Warehouse 13; Flash Forward, V; Ghost Hunters and GHI.

(You could say I like fantasy, science fiction and paranormal stuff....oh, and my Green Bay Packers!

Wow, this is an old thread Richard...way before Staci, Amy & I really knew each other (who knew we'd be such great friends!)

Supernatural
Medium
Heroes
Fringe
Ghost Whisperer
Smallville

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.

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.)

On the Road with Austin & Santino
Modern Family
