What TV are you watching at the moment?

I am still kind of a newbie to the whole watching television thing which TiVo (and growing misanthropy) has facilitated, but here is my current playlist just for shows which are currently playing, not counting stuff which is not currently playing episodes I have not seen or movies and other one time stuff.

True Blood
Mad Men
Entourage
Dexter
Simpsons
Heroes
Life and Times of Tim
Primeval
SNL
Ace of Cakes
CSI (although that may go soon)

South Park keeps teetering on the edge of falling out of the list, but then they will do a new episode where they've got their mojo on.

Family Guy fell out of my to-watch list quite some time ago, when they went from hilarious to tedious.

Just watched the beginning of Six Feet Under on On Demand.

House, Heroes, Simpsons, 6 o'clock news, and 2 guilty pleasures which I can't believe i'm going to admit to but....Survivor and the new Beverly Hills 90210 :o there I said it.

Doctor Who via YouTube. Apart from that, nothing.

hmmm

How is Dirty Sexy Money and what is it about? It had some nice billboards in LA, although apparently not nice enough to make me remember to try it out or to totally get what the topic is.

I watched a couple episodes of that earlier in the year. Hadn't seen a new one in a while. One was on the Mexican mafia and one was on early Chicago I think.

its a prety good show i think. theyve done episodes on biker gangs like the hells angels and the mongols too. it kinda makes me want to start a criminal oragization to see if i can wind up on the show:1orglaugh

Dirty sexy moneys alright sofar, ............there's this lawyer(played by guy in six feet under)who's father was personal lawyer for an old wealth family and got killed in a private plane crash, now the son is getting sucked into the family. Well there's a lots of other little storylines going on but that's the basic premis

it's actualy worth checking out

dvr list includes:

I love lucy
Ghost Hunters
Paranormal state
What not to wear
Planet earth
scooby doo
tom and jerry
family guy
american dad
futurama

Muse and I gave up owning a television a number of years
ago, solely relying on the internet for entertainment value
through direct download, streaming content and torrents,
just can't beat the commercial-free high def content for
the price of net access.

But what's in our playlist currently is:

Dexter (need I say more, season 3 is killer.. pun intended)
The Shield (Vic is the cop I would have been)
City Homicide (Aussie police drama)
Jurassic Fight Club (battle dinosaurs are kick ass)
Monster Quest (dipshits looking for man killing beasts)
Coming of Age (funny UK show about coming of age)
Two and a Half Men
How I Met Your Mother (the only two CBS shows we like, so far)
The Mentalist (only two episodes, but enjoyable so far)
Psych (a friend of mine turned us onto it and its pretty funny)
The Office (still has sharp witted writing, hopefully it'll stay that way)
Ugly Betty (always entertaining)


Then the usual slew of Fox Sunday night fare...
Simpsons
Family Guy
American Dad
King of the Hill

Comedy Central shows...
South Park
Lewis Black's Root of All Evil
The Sarah Silverman Program
The Gong Show with Dave.Attell

and other assorted shows...
ANTM
Project Runway
Make Me A Supermodel (US and AU versions)
Dirty Jobs
the various flavours of Law and Order
The Ultimate Fighter and anything UFC/WEC related
Penn and Teller's Bullshit!
Nip/Tuck
My Life on the D List
Scare Tactics
Top Chef
anything with Gordon Ramsay (Hell's Kitchen - US & UK,
Kitchen Nightmare's - US and The F-Word - UK)

Add in a fuckton of documentaries from History Channel,
Discovery Channels (Science and Travel), BBC, ITV and
other foreign offerings.

All in all, about a terabyte of programs on a local drive
with about 500 DVDs burnt for archival purposes. Even
with the lengthy list, we still really don't spend that much
time watching 'TV'... we catch what we can when we can
and burn off full seasons to watch later.

You don't even want to know about movies... :1orglaugh
Let's just say about 3300 theatrical releases and
about 7000 adult titles... not counting what has been
burnt to DVD already.

gotta say the discovery channel cause everything else is just lacking in originality,ya see the story arcs a mile away,or i'm
just getting old.

History Channel.

My Saturday Mornings are all Food Network...

I also have an unhealthy love of HGTV.

true blood
dexter
Primeval
Skins
Ramsey kitchen nightmares
topgear
robot chicken

Like clock work? Ummmm:

Heroes (although I'm really starting to get bored with it)
How I Met Your Mother- Neil Patrick Harris is hilarious!
My Name is Earl
The Office
SNL- Sometimes it's hilarious...Sometimes it just sucks- It's hit or miss
The Simpsons
Family Guy
Venture Bros.
Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares (Fox and U.K.)
Reaper (Although the new season doesn't start until January) ) :-- I love this show but nobody watches it so it'll probably get cancelled.
Lost (New season in January)
30 Rock (Hilarious)
South Park
Everybody Hates Chris
Scare Tactics

As far as just flipping the remote at anytime...I like watching alot of the criminal shit on Discovery and stuff like "The World's Wildest Videos" on the Tru channel.

Currently I am watching

DIY network
HGTV
Food Network
Boomerang
Adult swim

I know those are channels or sub channels.. but there are way too many shows to list.

Wow, I haven't had cable in years. Like Jonny said, why the hell would I pay close to $100/mo. to watch re-runs of Friends on every channel at every hour of the day?
I do miss alot of the good shows though like My Name Is Earl and The Daily Show and Fashion Television of course.

The Wire (HBO via Netflix... working my way through the 6 seasons)

Sons of Anarchy (FX via Hulu... for the entertainment value of mainstream folks and writers ideas of an MC)

Gangland (History Channel via Netflix) worked anti-gang task force via government for a while and its a pretty good show. season 2 has some 81 and Mongol stuff in it

oh and porn on the world/wide/net

Prison Break
Heroes
The Office
Stargate Atlantis (I know)
The Simpsons
American Dad
Family Guy
Terminator series
CSI's (makes you paranoid)
Criminal Minds (makes you even more paranoind)
Naruto
Bleach
and last but not least Southpark.

I love reaper...did you ever see Dead Like Me? You should check it out if not, it was on HBO I think, same Idea but the best series ever, more morbid and way funnier !! I think they are written by the same person.

Only really watching "True Blood" on a regular basis, but I am definitely digging it.

No, I never saw it. I can't afford HBO. I can only afford the H. I'll check it out though. I'm sure I can get copies of the show somewhere. Thanks.

Same here.

i'm re watching Sharpe again.

the stupid election..i'm not into politics but Eric came home with beer and flipped the chanel to it. I'm only into it because John McCain is trying to make himself seem like a victim but only to look like a cry baby. It's pretty fucken entertaining-- he's how old yet acting like the total opposite. Very fucken entertianing..and I hate politics. ::bring a book::

you mean like major sharpe in the napolean wars? that series is really good

indeed. just indulged myself with a boxed set.

a boxed set of Hornblower now is on the next list of indulgences

Heroes
Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles
Sons of Anarchy

What TV are you watching at the moment?
Sci Fi Channel
http://www.scifi.com/


- caught up on Battlestar Galactica for the frack of it

- getting into Sanctuary as both Stargate series go into movie productions only

- getting a kick out of Destination Truth and Ghost Hunters

- waiting for Doctor Who to return (I need my David Tennant / Catherine Tate fix)

- missing Lexx, Farscape, and Xena


Please keep in mind this is all stored on dv-r for me to watch later (when I have free time) but I have to admit I can easily become an addict to the Boomerang Channel (because they have all the saturday morning classics from my generation which puts the rest of you lot to shame - grin).

Heroes really got bad, I think. Everybody now seems to have superpowers and somehow they just seem to be obtaining more as I speak. I soooo love Season 1. I really wish they'd go back to a simple storyline like that instead of jumping all over the fuckin' place. Every good guy is now a bad guy. Every bad guy is now good.....Seems to me after the 1st season they didn't know which area to move next so instead they're just moving all over the fuckin' place.

I think I'll buy the series. I do love Reaper so if you think Dead Like Me is better I'll spring for it. Why not? It seems like every dollar spent is now a plus for the economy:1orglaugh

Well, Ajax Knucklebones, you'll be pleased to know that actress Katee Sackhoff will guest star on Nip/Tuck as Dr. Theodora 'Teddy' Lowe (and yes I am going to miss all of her fracking good scenes, but I finally got my FRACK black t-shirt and mug from the SciFi online shop - grin) and then she will go to work in a new "untitled" Dick Wolf Production as an LAPD Detective who is punished for clashes with authority and sent to work on John and Jane Doe cases (developed back in 2006, Sackhoff’s casting moves the show to a guaranteed pilot).

For me, I'd fancy pushing Dr. Gaius Baltar (James Callis) out of the way so that I can spend time with both Number Six (Tricia Helfer) and D'Anna Biers a.k.a. Number Three (Lucy Lawless) but that would involve Cylon Sex (a topic which could turn into a thread all its own - grin).

p.s.

Amanda Tapping is looking good on SANCTUARY (which is also a unique t.v. series for having sets that are practically all CGI) but I'll stop there before this turns into "who would be in your own personal harem" (lol) !

http://www.scifi.com/sanctuary/image...tapping/02.jpg

I lost interest in HEROES (maybe some shows work better with a definite begin date / end date)

Adding Shirley Manson to the cast of TERMINATOR: SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES was nice (will it be enough to compensate for the poor scripts?)

I'm just getting into SONS OF ANARCHY (Ron Pearlman and Katey Segal are awsome in this series)
