Re: TV shows - which do you watch ?
No love in the thread for Arrested Development eh?
I guess it's not even on the air anymore though, that could be why.
3rd Rock from the Sun - I see the odd re-run from time to time.
Hockey Night in Canada
Prison Break, when it was still playing.
LOST
That's about it.

Re: TV shows - which do you watch ?
sg1 is epic. basically 7/8 seasons where all episodes were 10/10. and all characters ruled.... tho it shouldve wrapped up as perfect before they put in the orai crap , however the orai crap does have a certain message to it thats good... but the episodes sucked, repetitive plots that went nowhere... and they Turned Vala which was an awesome character into umberable blhablhablha...
atlantis first season was very very good... and they had a couple of awesome characters such as Mackay which pretty much was reason alone to watch the show.. and that wraith commander was also very good character.
but rest of cast pretty much didnt deliver but its biggest failt were decaying plots.
Universe so far.. its a damm soap opera with one okish character thats slowly developing... and robert carlyle char that is awesome and hopefully will kill everyone on that damm ship coz they all suck lol, srsly some are not jus bad characters but bad actors and plot , they decentralized cast so they could kill ppl off , and the whole :
"im in the otherside of the universe but before that i went into iraq and left a pregnant girl from highschool thats now a striper thing" is a complete fail.

Two and a Half Men
White Collar (another underrated show).

Re: TV shows - which do you watch ?
Right now I honestly can't find anything worth watching...
All time (if you are looking to get stuff on DVD):
1. The Wire is head and shoulders above any other series I have seen. Ever.
2. Six Feet Under (needs two or three episodes before before it clicks...)
3. Northern Exposure
4. Mad Men
5. Faulty Towers
(6. Deadwood - but I can't really recommend it because it was cancelled after three seasons before finishing the story arc
)

Re: TV shows - which do you watch ?
Only complete set I have is Babylon 5. Other than that I have a few ST episodes from when they were sold individually.
What I'm watching now is Lost, Caprica and Spartacus: blood and sand. Oh and waiting for Sons of Anarchy to return.
Frasier is great! Worth the set I bet. They play reruns on local so I watch it now and then still.Oaks;699198 said:

Re: TV shows - which do you watch ?
FE - one of my mates is a fan of the wire (has the dvd boxset too I think) but I'm afraid it is not my thing at all. He raves on about it though so might have to give it another try as I only watched 1 episode of it. From what I could remember a single episode was just too long for my taste and the whole police business (?) didn't interest me. With the exception of fawlty towers I don't even know any of the other shows you put in your list.
He also has the West Wing (? - some kind of white house drama) which is strangely appealing due to the excellent acting of mr. sheen sr. as the president and the rest of the actors in it.

Re: TV shows - which do you watch ?
The Wire really begins to dazzle after you have watched the first few episodes and realise that the Cops & Robbers bit is almost secondary to the ruthless dissection of different aspects of modern (American?) society with all its hype and hypocrisy. While following one continuous story line, each season puts a brutal spotlight on a different facet (the education system, journalism and the press, local politics etc).
The characterization is excellent, the acting is top notch and the dialogues are just... real as hell (it took me a couple of episodes to actually get my head round the Baltimore accent...). Really - give it another go. It's well worth it.
*Edit* - God, I just realized how much that sounds like it came straight out of the Radio Times...
Six Feet Under is clever, clever black human drama (the protagonists are a family of Undertakers).
Mad Men is also drama/critical satire. It actually refers to Madison Av. and is set in the world of 1960's advertising.
Deadwood is Shakespeare in the form of a Western. Set in the Gold Rush and following the building (in the middle of nowhere) of a township from nothing - Ian McShane was born for the part of small-time Godfather...
I can't believe you missed Northern Exposure... Classic comedy in small doses. Story of an impoverished New York Jewish Doctor who makes a deal with a tiny Alaska town to go and practice there after graduation if they pay for his studies.
I didn't mention any other classic British series (The Thick of It/In the Loop, Yes Minister, Deadheads, The Young Ones, Black Adder, I Claudius, all the BBC series from classic literature, etc) since I guessed you probably knew them already...
