Following in Justin's footsteps, what are folks watching on the tube these days? (Alternatively, what are you renting via Netflix)

For me, the big three are:

Grey's Anatomy
Battlestar Galactica
Veronica Mars
Coupling (The British version): Its terrifying to realize that you'd fall for Jane

[mike777]

I do watch Battlestar G.
24 is on tonight, good season.
I also enjoy House, Bones, NCIS and Crossing Jordan(great music)
Any and all of the old Perry Mason shows and movies.

Just rented "It happened one night" 1934 from netflix, Mystery on the Nile(Imax) is next up.

Numbers (Its suprisingly good for a show about Math!)
Love Monkey

[Rain]

I have no tv service, and depend on BBO and netflix for home entertainment

So far, after months of netflix + amazon purchase

1) Frasier (rewatch every season many times, you never have to wait for frasier)

2) Simpsons

3) Lost

4) Extreme makeover, home edition.

5) Rewatch everything in this list again.

I really like Lost, but its worsened my fear of flying.

Only thing I have TIVO'd is 24; but I always watch it with my oldest daughter, so the TIVO is not necessary .

PGA Golf is always on during the weekends. You'd better not try to take the remote during any of the major tourneys.

When Carnivale was on HBO I was friggin addicted to it. Hoping another netowrk picks it up.

Latest rumor I heard was that showtime picked it up for 26 episodes next season :-)

I still watch Gilmore Girls, though I agree its slipping somewhat.
At the same time, it still has moments of inspiration.

One fo the episodes recently concluded with a 5 minute montage showing the high (and low) points from a single Gilmore family dinner. Terrifying stuff.

Lost
Alias
American Idol
Dancing with the Stars
Battlestar Galactica

Well, I guess I'll have to wait and see, as I'll be renting them after the seasons are over, anyway. Not only will Adam not watch them, but we don't even get Showtime.

I agree that the dinner scene in GG was FANTASTIC! Even Adam liked it, and he strongly dislikes GG. Giving Luke a daughter that's Rory v.2 is just so bad, though, and is painful!

[mike777]

For those of you old enough to remember Dr. Who is coming back same night and station as Battlestar very soon. Beware Daleks!

[Sigi_BC84]

As mentioned in the movie thread already:
The Office (original BBC version)
Six Feet Under (watching it on a regular basis off DVD with a few friends, we've just made it through 3rd season tonight; it's a great show I can really recommend, but watch it from the beginning, since the story and characters develop through the series).

I can only hope that this applies to the US version, which supposedly sucks. Get the original (from England) it's simply impossible not to like it.

I have not dared yet to watch the US version. The British version is so brilliant that I'll probably get quite angry while watching somebody else's miserable attempt to jump the bandwagon.

The "style of filming" and quite everything about that show is very different from the mainstream. If that's what Adam hates the show is probably just not the right thing for him. I suggest you watch it while he's playing golf (or whatever he enjoys doing ;-).

NB the show has become a huge mainstream success in Great Britain, so don't assume something totally off-beat being on the verge of the unwatchable here.

[Echognome]

The American version is quite similar to the original British version. The British version was better.

I personally like:

24
Simpsons
Sopranos

Having lived in the UK now for 4 years, I've learned to like:
Phoenix Nights
The Office
Father Ted
The Vicar of Dibley
Only Fools and Horses

[Winstonm]

I really am not fond of any of the current shows so I'll have to provide a list of my all time favorites (not reruns but the original series).

You Bet Your Life
Gunsmoke
Have Gun, Will Travel
Rawhide
Mission Impossible
