Boob tube favorites

[Chronuss]

When I had cable, I enjoyed Iron Chef, Emeril, Adult Swim (on Cartoon Network)

...a female that watches cartoons, and animé no less. why can't I find one of those...

goodies have already been mentioned, but I love watching Smallville, Nip/Tuck, The Shield :fanboy:, Rescue Me (two more episodes!!), and I'll watch almost anything on G4 (the geek channel, hehe).

Yep. :ultracool Some of my faves are: Cowboy BeBop (love the music as well as the characters & story), Inuyasha, Fullmetal Alchemist, Big O, Trigun, & Wolf's Rain. For non-animé, I like The Oblongs & Home Movies (in addition to the "regular" shows like Law & Order, Gray's Anatomy, The Ultimate Fighter, Everybody Loves Raymond & History Detectives).

Saturday nights are The Three Stooges on "Stooge-A-Palooza" on a local Chicago channel. Reruns of The Simpsons, Family Guy, The History Channel, occasionally TV Land. I miss, in my opinion, the best years of Nick At Nite when they showed classic shows like Dragnet (Joe Friday Rules!!) , The Patty Duke Show and The Monkess. Aside from The Amazing Race, I stay away from the so called reality shows.......Steve

 

[Raewyn]

you watch Bebop and Trigun...you're worthy.

 

[someguy]

More or less I watch Adult swim, History channel, occasionally the food network, and random stuff.

I dispise all those reality based TV shows. I've tried and can't find even one redeeming quality about them. All they seem to teach to the viewer is that who ever can lie, cheat and betray the best wins...not qualities I want my kids to pick up on.

Would you watch a reality show based on Martial Arts? Say day to day training in a Dojo? Doesn't matter what art just one that does that... or maybe one show with 15 min segs of various dojos of various arts..?? heh...


For me I've pretty much given up on commericalized television altogether. If pressed for something to do because of boredom then I'll flick on the History Channel, animal planet, TLC, or HGTV depending upon what's on..though the commericals are just as irritating and too frequent. if nothing catches my eye in five minutes of surfing through any of those... then click it off and either watch a DVD movie or read a good book.

... Or hang out here in MT and watch the topics change... hee hee

Yep. that's pretty much my take also. I'd rather stop by here and see what's up.
Occasionally, the history or science channel or some home improvement. that's about it. I always thought commericials made any show far too annoying to watch. Then with cable, you still get the commercials AND PAY FOR THE PRIVELEGE!. Nope. I refuse. Ridiculous. BTW. I work for a cable company.

 

[TimoS]

My favourites that I try to watch whenever they're shown on Finnish TV: Married with children, Third rock from the sun, Simpsons (early seasons), CSI (CSI Miami is also shown here, but it's not as good), Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel... I also enjoy Cold case, though I almost always forget to watch it. Then of course some good quality british sitcoms, such as Coupling

 

[Chronuss]

no ones said reruns of Whose Line Is It Anyway?

I absolutely love that show.

I was also a "Wonder Years" child. My cable company just added a channel called "American Life Network". Besides favorites like you mentioned, it has shows like: Man from UNCLE, Hawaiian Eye, Honeymooners, Combat.

Lost in Space...LOL....."DANGER, WILL ROBINSON!!! DANGER!! DANGER!!

Lost in Space...LOL....."DANGER, WILL ROBINSON!!! DANGER!! DANGER!!

Car 54 Where Are You?, The Fugitive, To Catch a Thief, Hogans Heroes, The Avengers, Marcus Welby M.D. and please don't tell me you didn't watch The Mickey Mouse Club....

I really enjoy a good funny cartoon. Family Guy is so hilarious, and its amazing how much they get away with on air. Another funny one is American Dad, the father is a CIA agent and the show has some great twists on political figures. Like Karl Rove, he made an appearance and was wearing some sort of black robes and pentogram necklases and other "evil" things, every time they said his name wolves would howl and someone would say "did it just get colder in here?" also i enjoy Smallville, its a superman story of before he went to metropolis, and he was learning his abilities and developing them as well as his do gooder adittude. gotta go later

I absolutely love that show.

Yes, I enjoyed it too--my favorite guests on that (the American version) were Ryan Stiles, Wayne Brady & Colin ? (the guy who is the "Snack Fairy" in the Nabisco commercials).

As for "Classic TV" some of my faves are: Car 54 where are you?, The Munsters, The Addams Family, The Beverly Hillbillies ("Jethrine" :rofl: ), That Girl, The Andy Griffith Show, Hogan's Heroes, The Odd Couple, Star Trek, The Twilight Zone, Get Smart, The Man from UNCLE, Mission Impossible, Emergency (had a crush on Randolph Mantooth :lol: ), Medical Center (also used to have a crush on Chad Everett), All in the Family, The Bob Newhart Show, Mary Tyler Moore, Rhoda, Good Times, The Jeffersons, Hawaii Five-O, Quincy, Kojak, Ellery Queen (with Jim Hutton), Hill Street Blues, Taxi & Cheers.

They just don't make them like that anymore...*sigh*

I couldn't agree more. "Unscripted" shows pretty much turned me off of TV. It's all the same BS and no creativity or variety anymore. Thank goodness for TV Land and TV shows on DVD......Steve

 

[Cryozombie]

& Colin ? (the guy who is the "Snack Fairy" in the Nabisco commercials).

Colin Mockery. (dunno if I spelled that right)

I recently started enjoying TV again... I hated it for a long time and only watched Cartoons and the occasional NYPD rerun... Now I am intent on Watching The Sheild, Rescue me, and Over There.

 

[Xequat]

I'm about 99% sure it's Mochrie, FYI.



My favorites are the serial shows where each episode builds on a previous one. I highly recommend 24, Alias, Buffy the Vampire Slayer (I know it sounds terrible if you haven't seen it, especially since the movie was pretty bad, but the show is great), and Angel. Can't go wrong with the Simpsons (esp season 4 and 5) and Family Guy is probably the funniest show I've seen. Everything I've suggested is out on DVD.
