What television shows do you watch? What interests you? Personally, the more action or "energy" a show has, the better!

So that would included:

-> CSI (and CSI Miami)
-> NYPD Blue (I'm still a New Yorker at heart)
-> ER
-> Who's Line is it anyway (a really FUNNY show)
-> JAG (yes, another testosterone drama)
-> The Weather Channel (I have no idea why I watch this...but I do!)

I must admit it I am a reality TV Junkie...lol

Andrew

Like what? The Survivor Series?

Tara

I'm not as into it this season as I have been in the past.

I got hooked on Joe Millionare....


And summer just won't be the same with out the show Big Brother.


But, even I have my standards, the Help I'm a celebrity show is awful...

Andrew
03-06-03, 03:30 PM
Yes....I couldnt bring myself to tune into that show, considering what I know about celebs in real life...lol

Andrew
03-07-03, 10:09 AM
Oh, I'm gonna add '24' to my list as well. Something about a clock ticking away seems to keep me drawn to this show...lol

Oh my God...24 is intriguing and yet so ridiculous. Just how many times can people get themselves into similar circumstances and question "why is this happening to me?" My husband has to watch it every Tuesday, and I must say, I was hoping last week that the bomb would have gone off...am I bad or what?

I watch very little TV...but when I do, I seem to prefer comedies:
Friends
That 70's Show
Scrubs
Will & Grace
or... How To Shows
Trading Spaces
Home Again

I get enough drama at home and work...I don't need to watch it.

I love

CSI and CSI Miami, but the regular CSI is much better.
Still an ER fan
The Practice (Glad they moved it to Monday night)
All the Law and Orders
20/20
Dateline
48 Hours

Sometimes:
Friends
Will and Grace

Reality TV is awful, but to each their own Whatever happened to the days of Little House on the Prairie and the Donny and Marie show?


and I dont' have cable since I spend most of my time on line.

and Big, don't fret, I use to be glued to the weather channel as well, especially during hurricane season. I talked to some other people that have TS, and they seem to have the fasination with the weather channel as well.

Andrew
04-09-03, 07:56 PM
oooooh...I forgot all about the upcoming hurrican season...man, I'm really gonna have a tough time NOT watching the weather channel...lol

Will & Grace. Anyone else here think Gracey a wee bit hyper and unfocused! She has great comedic timing, but those thoughts of hers........way out there!

I don't watch tv....I do watch the simpsons with my son (and actually enjoy it but don't tell him). I read to escape....read through all of Jonathan Kellerman and most of John Grisham in the past few months. Prior to that, I was so depressed I couldnt read.

I usually do both watching TV and being online. Gotta love that multi-tasking :p

The shows I watch are:

JAG
Judging Amy
The Guardian
ER
CSI don't really care for CSI Miami
Mircales when it's on
Married by America (sorta, not real engrossed in it..just kinda keeping tabs on who is going to get married)
Survivor
John Doe
Fast Lane
Crossing Jordan when the other isn't on
The Bachelor
My Wife and Kids
George Lopez
The District sometimes
The Agency
Boomtown unless there's a good movie on
Alias
Big Brother when it was on
I watched Get me outta here I'm a celebrity but mainly for the giggles. Gotta love seeing stars suffer :D

I only get 5 channels at this time too..had to turn satelite off to pay some medical bills.

I usually record shows if I haven't seen them if there is a conflict also.

But if the whole week is one big re-run then I either play video games or I'm online.

Um we have a problem.

Zero patience for "cliff hangers" -- you mean I have to wait until next week? Might as well be next year.

Huge movie fan.....

Stuff that keeps me from channel surfing:

Buffy The Vampire Slayer
^ this is the BEST SHOW EVARRR :D

Angel
Robot Wars
Battlebots
WWE wrestling
Red Dwarf
^ on second thought, this might be the BEST SHOW EVARRR...

Whose Line Is It Anyway?
^ I can play any of those games as good as they can... well I can't outsing Wayne Brady :D ...that man is phenomenal!

Good Eats (surprisingly entertaining)
Jackie Chan Adventures
The Planet's Funniest Animals
Royal Canadian Air Farce
Red Green
Dogs With Jobs
The Ultimate Ten (Discovery channel series)

assorted cartoons with my son
assorted food network shows with my wife

Also, lately I have been stationed overnight in an ER with a TV on the wall... overnight TV sucks... but when I am there I usually end up watching Xena: Warrior Princess and the X-Files, which I don't normally go out of my way to watch under normal circumstances.

:D Sir killalot's supposed to be invincible- but I've seen the tinyest bots get him to fall into the flame pit 2 or three times. WWC- Did you see the episode with the killer Granny bot with the chain saw that caught on fire? I saw a show on dis. once too for MIT students (I think) where they were supplied with gadgets (and strict limitations!) to make into bots that battled on a see-saw contraption that was really cool too!
