TV shows you love



Recommended Posts

So what TV shows are the faves around here? My personal favorite was Firefly but it was cancelled way too early. Right now I love Big Bang Theory, Battlestar Galactica, Medium, Life and Pushing Daisies. Oh yeah, and the guilty pleasure - America's Next Top Model. Several others but those are the ones coming to mind now.

I don't get a lot of time to watch tv - too busy being a chauffer (I think I spelled that wrong, sorry). I do try to catch America's Next Top Model when I can. My other favorite is Dirty Jobs, I could sit and watch Mike Rowe all day:drool:. I still like I Love Lucy, I grew up watching those shows and my kids love them to. I think I have videos (yes videos, not dvds) of most of the episodes.

I like MASH reruns, Jon and Kate plus 8, Big Medicine, Law and Order Special Victims, and Strong Medicine. There is not much new that I like so I spend most of my TV time on re-run channels.

My all time favourite is Boston Legal. Very cleverly written and so darned whitty.

Next would be Survivor. Love the mind games. We have survivor nights with our friends.

Next would be Top Gear (the UK version). I am in love with Richard Hammond.....no more to be said there.

Anything medical. Anything with operations, bringing people back from the brink of death, anything with blood and guts in it. Can't get enough of operations etc. My day job is obviously not exciting enough.

We don't have pay tv at home, so we are restricted to 4 free to air channels here in Victoria (Australia!).

My favs are Law & Order: SVU, almost anything on Discovery Health Channel, A&E, National Geographic, or the History Channel. I also like South Park and Girlfriends. I don't watch a lot of TV, but I absolutely MUST watch The Big Give. I hope they do another one after this one is over!

I guess I'm a reality tv junkie. It has to be quality, not just any ol' reality show. I watch American Idol, The Amazing Race, Survivor, Celebrity Fit club to name a few. Also, Lost, 24, October Road (love that one, hope it gets a 3rd season.), The First 48.

I don't watch much lately, since life is too busy, but those are the shows I really enjoy.

The Biggest Loser, Survivor, Jon & Kate+8, Big Bang Theory, 2 1/2 Men.....but sadly I don't seem to get to watch any of them consistently!

I'm going to sound like all I do is watch TV, but that's not true. I TiVO everything and skip through commercials and boring bits. (like biggest loser last night, I FFd through all the recaps, I already know all that stuff lol).

ANYWAY, Survivor, Idol, Biggest Loser are my 3 reality shows. Then I watch CSI: LV and Miami, LOST, Eli Stone (loooove that one!), 24.

I think that's it?

I'm a big fan of Battlestar Galactica, too. I adore Doctor Who. I'm also a CSI Miami nut, and to a lesser extent a nut for CSI in Vegas. We're also big fans of Mythbusters in my house - probably the only "reality"-ish show we do watch with any regularity. We watch a LOT of British TV, especially older series like Blackadder and Allo Allo! I am currently still recovering from not having a new episode of 24 to watch this season (twitch, twitch... Jack Bauer, where are you??)

TV and I rarely interact with one notable must-not-miss/do-not-interrupt-while-I'm-watching shows, and that is '24'. I'm with you IMA Snowbird, I am going through withdrawal! Other than that, when I have been forced to watch TV, it is oldies-but-better than what's on now shows such as MASH. NO reality shows.

When I heard people discussing the Biggest Loser at work, I thought they were referring to a show about horrid dating experiences!

I'm pretty much a reality TV junkie too. But I love Grey's Anatomy, Big Love (on HBO) and most of the news magazines (Dateline, 20/20, 48 Hours Mystery) I also watch Animal Planet alot because I'm an animal lover!!

I loved Firefly! I was a fan of Buffy, too, by the same writers.

Now, I love reality shows. Skank of Love, er, Rock of Love, Biggest Loser, Next Top Chef, etc.

LOVE Joss Whedon! He's coming out with a new show pretty soon too. It's called Dollhouse, and stars Eliza Dushku (Faith from Buffy and Tru from Tru Calling). I can't wait. Whedon is a great creator, writer, director.

Least I have BSG to tide me over. Love that show so much.

I'm shocked not to see my fav so far. The Office. It's the funniest show ever and has ruined me for anything else.

It's the only thing I watch except a few reality TV guilty pleasures - American Idol and Top Chef.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
