long_time_lurker Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Jersey Shore? It's on RIGHT NOW Get crazy, get wild.... actually I have a hard time watching that show sometimes because that's all the people who are my neighbors. It's a guilty pleasure making fun of them though. Back on topic, and I can't believe no one mentioned this: Curb Your Enthusiasm!!
starmaker Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 A lot of what I watch are shows that I didn't see when they originally ran (because that was before I was born/old enough to appreciate the show/aware of the show/into the genre). Or shows that are more recent but that I didn't have the time to watch at first or decided that I'd rather watch on DVD. Lots of sci-fi and similar - B5, ST:DS9/TNG/TOS, Farscape, SG-1, SG:A, Firefly, Life on Mars (the British version). My husband and I recently got through Red vs. Blue: The Blood Gulch Chronicles, and we've been watching the silly X-Men cartoon from the early '90s. We are slowly working our way through the '60s spy parody Get Smart. As for modern shows that I watch as they are actually running, the main ones are Archer (<3 irreverent James Bond parodies), the Daily Show, the Colbert Report, and Futurama. Also, the Walking Dead, but it has been awhile since the season ended, and it's too intense for me to want to rewatch a bunch of episodes while waiting for the new season. I'd watch Sherlock regularly if there were more episodes...silly Brits with their short seasons.
bfat Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Most of my favorite shows are cancelled, or just off the air but I rewatch them over and over. The X-FilesBuffy (almost finished my 3rd time through the series)FireflyMacGyver (damn straight!)Veronica MarsGilmore GirlsDollhouseSix Feet Under I also watch "current" shows, though I don't actually watch them on TV because of no cable and hating commercials so much. But I try to keep up withSupernaturalBreaking BadDexterTrue BloodFox cartoons (Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, etc.) Jeez, I guess I watch a lot of TV... But I can always claim "film major" and "media studies concentration" as my excuse.
Agradatudent Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 I watch(ed): Dexter Mad Men Game of Thrones Lost Tudors Californication Hung Jersey Shore I want to watch Breaking bad, but it's a super long wait on netflix
jendoly Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 It's also pretty easy to watch Netflix on my iPad while working out, so that's also a good excuse for watching a ton of TV (;
Behavioral Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Only one(?) other person here watches Mad Men? :| Here are the shows I currently keep up with: Mad MenNo Reservations: Anthony BourdainGame of ThronesDexterAdventure Time (HIGHLY recommended)Anything on Food Network, Travel Channel, and History Channel Some shows I have the series on DVD:Boy Meets WorldI Love LucyBoston LegalFireflyWill and GraceFuturama
Muffin is Injured Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Gilmore Girls So glad someone mentioned Gilmore Girls, definitely my favorite TV show of all time! Shows currently on TV that I try to keep up with: House Glee How I Met Your Mother Community 30 Rock Parks and Recreation Futurama Project Runway (when it's on) The Office I also got addicted to Modern Family last quarter (a friend let me borrow the first season on DVD), but since I'm a season behind I think I'll save my catching up for next summer (or winter, since I'll be dealing with snow for the first time in my life and I'm sure I won't want to venture out much at first, haha). I watch The Daily Show and The Colbert Report most nights, too.
far_to_go Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 I watch Mad Men! So glad it's on Netflix now, since I don't own an actual TV. Other faves: - Family Guy - Law and Order SVU - Glee - The Office - House - Big Bang Theory I'm thinking about starting Dexter, based on strong recs from friends. However, I hate that it's not streaming on Netflix... getting the discs in the mail takes such a loooong time. Ha, I can't believe how impatient I am! Also, not exactly TV, but my roomies and I do make time for a weekly movie night. It's a great house tradition.
