olp1fan Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 What are Your favourite tv shows? I can't put anything above The Wire, has anyone seen The Wire? t'was incredible and yet no emmys ... what is up with that?! The Shield is also an incredible show as well as Breaking Bad love those shows equally Dexter is always entertaining and so were all 8 seasons of 24 Damages is a thriller! Six Feet Under was a journey which had the best closing scene of any show Prison Break, Smallville were very entertaing Am currently on the third season of Lost! Will always love Everwood Seen every season of Survivor! Everybody Loves Raymond is my favourite sitcom Big Bang Theory and Corner Gas amuse me as does Malcom In The Middle The OC had its moments as did One Tree Hill Lois & Clark The New Adventures Of Superman is entertaining as hell! Anyways, I own most of those series .. its good tv for the winter eh? Which shows do you all enjoy and do you have anything to add about the shows I listed? Yes, I watch a lot of tv ...but in my defense it is good TV won't catch me watching crap like Maury or Degrassi Quote
Topaz Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 My TV watching consist of soaps, watching news shows, Question Period, reality shows as Big Brother, survivor, housewives of New Jersey, NewYork, LA. Dancing with the stars. I've checked out the Home shopping network to see what the new products are and I also watch the movie channel on the weekends. Quote
Boges Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 Terra Nova is a really good new show. Boardwalk Empires, Game of Thrones, True Blood and Curb your Enthusiasm are all great HBO shows. Walking Dead starts up again this weekend. Looking forward to that. I'm still a fan of CSI: Vegas. Big Bang Series is one of the funniest shows on TV. Quote
Shakeyhands Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 Walking Dead starts up again this weekend. Looking forward to that. THANKS!!! I would have missed it. Owe you one. Quote "They muddy the water, to make it seem deep." - Friedrich Nietzsche
Shwa Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 Hockey Night in Canada (or hockey games in general. CFL, CIS, CFB, NFL, boxing. Toronto Rock when I can get the games.) CityTV News including BT, although I do admit to watching morning CP24 for Lindsey Deluce and Melissa Grelo. The CBC Documentary Channel, sometimes The Nature of Things. Murdoch Mysteries. SNL, The Office, Corner Gas re-runs when I can. Most PBS documentary shows, but especially Nova, The History Detectives, everything by Ken Burns and the odd British archaeological show. Antiques Roadshow, all versions. Terra Nova looks good as does Falling Skies on Showcase. I used to watch Discovery, NG Channel and History Channel regularly, but lately they have sucked so I don't bother with them much. Quote

Boges Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 terra nova? really... 3 episodes in and it's already boring it held promise because of it's setting but it's just another weekly soap. nothing new to see here...a format combination of desperate housewives and any cheap cop show... What was wrong with the first episode? The last two have been situational with problems to solve, they solve it, they move on. Typical TV stuff. I'm sure the storyline with dood's son doing hyroglifics and the war with the "Sixers" should produce good drama in the coming episodes. I would like them to explore the ramifications of living on a pre-historic earth a bit more however. They are playing to a broad family crowd with the whole nuclear family dynamic. Quote
Boges Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 Anyone catch an episode of 2 Broke Girls yet? Throw-away sitcome with some funny lines. No where near as clever as Big Bang Theory. Entertaining enough to check out Kat Denning's chest. http://abazon.blogspot.com/2011/09/kat-dennings.html Quote
wyly Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 What was wrong with the first episode?the only good episode, it's gone downhill fast from there...The last two have been situational with problems to solve, they solve it, they move on. Typical TV stuff. I'm sure the storyline with dood's son doing hyroglifics and the war with the "Sixers" should produce good drama in the coming episodes. shades of "lost" and "prison break"...I would like them to explore the ramifications of living on a pre-historic earth a bit more however. yes that's where the show held promise, different from other programs but that's apparently being ignored, it needs more jurassic park and less desperate housewives...They are playing to a broad family crowd with the whole nuclear family dynamic.a la "swiss family robinson"...I'll be surprised if it last one season, two tops if it continues on this track, nothing new to see here....my 11 year old can't even sit through it, when a dinosaur show doesn't hold the interest of an 11yr old you know it's got problems..

Boges Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 The previous two episodes could have been shoehorned into any part of the season, they weren't really critical to character development. We'll have to see, I won't stop watching yet. Quote
olp1fan Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Posted October 12, 2011 I wanted to try Terra Nova but apparently its not getting enough viewers so they will shorten the season to 12 episodes or something I read Plus its Hockey season and WWE Raw is on Mondays lol Quote
olp1fan Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Posted October 12, 2011 Will def. watch Game of Thrones and Boardwalk Empire when the series are done! Quote
The_Squid Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 If you haven't seen Community, check it out. Very funny and off-the-wall comedy. Quote

Then again you clearly don't have HBO either. Quote

wyly Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) I forgot another couple programs I like "being human"...I prefer the english version, mrs wyly likes the made in montreal version... and "misfits"... my older kids like "skins" the british version...

It needs a little more horny housewife dinosaur vampires. Kind of like this. Gawd. The internet has practically everything. Quote
Guest Derek L Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Let’s see………The only new TV show that’s caught my eye has been Prime Suspect……..reminds me of the old episodes of Law & Order………Love Big Bang Theory & 30 Rock (My wife calls me Jack Donaghy)……Breaking Bad……looking forward to season two of the Walking Dead and waiting for Hell on Wheels……..NFL football & NHL….For news/current events, O’Reily Factor, Hannity, Fox News Sunday, the National and if I’m home during the day, Power & Politics…….For Documentaries, Newsworld & PBS…..I’ll echo the thoughts on History…….When their Sunday night movie is The Mummy every weekend, and their marathons feature American pickers….Swamp People & Ice Road Truckers, in my view they’ve lost focus…..Through in A&E and Discovery both taking a turn for the worse……….For Movies, AMC, TCM and the various Showcase channels…….Oh and both Top Gears Quote
capricorn Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 I dislike TV comedy shows like Two and a Half Men. I get my laughs right here on MLW and watching Solomon on P and P. My fave dramas are NCIS LA, Law and Order New York, Bluebloods and The Good Wife. Catch a lot of old flicks I've never seen on TCM and chick flicks on the Women's Network. I listen to talk radio. Mostly conservative talk radio, like that old geezer Lowell Green on CFRA. On SunNews TV, I tune in to David Akin and Brian Lilley. Every day I wake up and see the ceiling is merciful. Then I repeat everything all over again. There's a kind of bliss that can only be found in a routine. Quote "We always want the best man to win an election. Unfortunately, he never runs." Will Rogers

Moonlight Graham Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 TV isn't that good these days. My fav shows now are probably Pawn Stars, Auction Hunters, and Deadliest Warrior. I watch a lot of news. Also like watching The Ultimate Fighter UFC reality show. I used to love Lost, but that's gone & it really started to suck after Season 3 anyways. I watched the 1st episode of Game of Thrones but it kinda sucked even though I like that genre.

capricorn Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 I've seen one episode and it's looking good to me. Speaking of Prime Suspect, I was hooked on the British show by the same title starring Helen Mirren. That's a classic in my books. Quote "We always want the best man to win an election.

Guest Derek L Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Oh, and I’m certain that I’ll watch the DALLAS reboot……ummm….because of my wife Quote
