A bit quiet on the forums - and I can't bear it! :laughing5:
So, here's the question; what tv programmes do you actually sit down to watch each week? Well, not necessarily 'sit down', but the the ones you clear a time for, make sure you're home for, or if you're going out you set the programme to be recorded?
My list is very small - Dancing with the Stars.
Yep, that's it. We might have the tv on at other times but we never do anything to make sure we get it on in time to see other programmes.
I am a tv failure!
Its funny because I just answered this not to long ago on another forum. But the shows I watch now are very small:
Avatar: the Last Airbender :love5: :love5: :love5:
You don't TOUCH me when Avatar is on. Or you might loose a limb or an eye.
Flight 29 Down
Thats it for shows I watch to keep up with But I did post on the other forum a list of the shows I used to watch on tv or still watch on DVD (cause the show ended or isn't on anymore):
CHARMED!!!!! :love5: :love5: :love5: :love5: :love5: :love5:
All time favorite show. Tied for coolness with Atla. I have season 4 on DVD and watch the reruns on TNT. Can't get me away from the tv when Charmed is on.
Invader Zim
Dragon Booster
W.I.T.C.H.
Extreme Makeover Home Edition
Mythbusters
Friends
Dungeons & Dragons
The Simpsons
Family Guy
That 70's Show
Will and Grace
Kim Possible (I was SO glad when they made a new season. They couldn't just end it with Kim and Ron hooking up they HAD to go past it. But thats how Disney works, 85 episodes, a movie then its over.)
Various Animes including:
Card Captor Sakura
Oran Host Club
Mai Hime
Digimon (especially season 2. Best one EVER!)
Yes I'm a wierd kid.
Most of the time that I'm home, I have the TV on in the background while I'm working on my laptop. Shows that I typically watch (in no particular order):
House
24
Bones
American Idol
Lost
Survivor
Grey's Anatomy
CSI
And on weekends, I usually have whatever trash VH-1 is showing in the background.
Quote from: "Jane"My list is very small - Dancing with the Stars.

LOL - YOU are a tv failure!? My TV isn't even hooked up! I don't even get peasant vision... but I'm okay with that. :) TV used to be one of my biggest time-wasters. I had, like, 3 shows I would actually watch and then I'd just spend the rest of the day channel surfing and complaining in my head that nothing was on. Now I have lots of time to waste on things like the internet, writing, movies, cleaning my bathroom (which I am taking a break from right now) and being social.
... come to think of it, I don't think that I'd have TIME for tv anymore!
I have all the seasons on DVD that they've produced for Charmed - the first 7! Season 8 is coming soon and Im owning that one too. I watch them repeatedly ! I love CHarmed :)
MASH and Star Trek all my all time favorite shows. I own all 11 seasons of MASH on DVD and all 3 seasons of the original Star Trek on VHS.
I also watch Mork and Mindy and Sliders (I know they don't go together) on DVD. Sliders is a REALLY good show. I wish they'd made more than 5 seasons.
Highlander (OH yum Adrian Paul!) Also on DVD.
I watch Bewitched on ON Demand hehe.
Hmmm I guess I don't really make time for ANY TV Shows that are on currently. I don't have time to watch alot of TV. I like movies, and will watch a movie, but as far as shows... not so much. Cartoons.. I like Card Captor too. I like Pokemon. I also like Law and Order: SVU and will sit and watch that one.
I actually do like Monk and House for current shows and will occasionally plan to watch them, like maybe tonight!
I personally like Family Guy and The Simpsons. I'll watch just about any anime, but Sailor Moon is still my all time favorite. I haunt the ebay ads trying to buy all the episodes on video. LOL
I suppose when it comes down to it, I'd rather be reading then watching TV. I have a hard time remembering when shows are going to be on. LOL I'm a bit of a ditz about that. :geek:
LOST
Frasier
The X-Files
House
American Idol
And if I happen to catch any of my old favorite cartoons or shows from childhood on TV, I'll watch them. :) Some examples:
Hey Arnold!
The Wonder Years
Boy Meets World
Garfield
Looney Toons
Pinky and the Brain
Anamaniacs
The Pink Panther
My Little Pony
All That (the original cast)
Beast Wars
Pokemon
Land of the Lost
Clarissa Explains It All.
I watched a lot more TV back then....
Well, I don't get much up to date TV here, so I"m actually catching up on a lot of stuff...
Right now I'm working my way through:
West Wing
American Chopper
Good Eats (yes, a cooking show but its awesome!)
Ghost Busters

Some of my favorite series of all time include:
MASH
X-files
Friends
Whose Line Is It Anyway
Twilight Zone
Haunted History
In Search of History
Connections
Firefly
Trading Spaces :)
Mostly, when I'm back in the states, I watch pretty much anything on the Discover Channel or History Channel, sometimes TLC and the National Geographic channel. I am a documentary person.
How could I forget The Twilight Zone! And I love What Not To Wear on TLC, and Paula Dean's show, Good Eats and Unwrapped on the Food Network. Good stuff.
I love my DVR as I wouldn't get to watch anything otherwise with my busy schedule.
My current list is:(in order of day that show is on)
7th Heaven -- they ended it again. I prefered last year's series finale.
Heroes
Gilmore Girls -- I'm going to miss this show.
House
Jericho
One Tree Hill
ER - I just started watching it again.
Ghost Whisperer
I like to watch some seasons of Survivor and Amazing Race.
I don't get TNT anymore so I don't get to see anything other than what I have. *g* I have the first season on DVD and the Series finale is protected on my DVR. I want the rest of the seasons so much, but don't have the money for them yet.
Greys Anatomy - won't miss if I can help it.
Desperate Housewives (I fit the bill LOL )
I IQ (apparently our version of TiVo) the following:
Friends
Bad Girls
Charmed
Will & Grace
Monk
Goodnight Sweetheart
Who Do You Think You Are?
Midsomer Murders
The L Word
How Not To Decorate (Gotta love Colin & Justin!)
What Not To Wear (Gotta love Trinny & Susannah!)
How to Look Good Naked
Changing Rooms
The Nanny
Any disaster movies that come on the box.
(Of course not all of these are on at present, but when they are I try and tape them.)
I MUST watch Lost and Heroes. And I'm looking forward to the new season of Doctor Who, whenever Scifi decides to show it.
When I channel surf, I usually watch documentaries and sometimes movies. In the morning before work, I was watching Avatar, but they changed times. :angry7: Anyone who watches the show and knows me would probably be able to guess my favorite character a mile away. ;)
Okay..... Shows I have to watch (whenever they are on, or on DVD)
Any Dream Will Do (searching for a Joseph for the West End, has the lovely John Barrowman in)
Casualty (show that inspired ER)
ER
Lost
Battlestar Galactica
Doctor Who (also has John Barrowman)
Torchwood (also has John Barrowman - sensing a pattern here ;) )
Robin Hood
The Apprentice (UK Version, Donald Trump is a wimp compared to Sir Alan Sugar)
Desperate Housewives
Big Love
Strictly Come Dancing (US version is called Dancing with the Stars, but has the some of the same judges)
At least they aren't all American ;)

haha!! a fellow MASH Trekkie... they're the best. I liked Next Generation but not too many of the other ones. Enterprise was alright :)
