ewurgler Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 ...to discuss and make recommendations, as I'm sure we are all watching much more than usual in this anxious time. My favorites: 30 Rock How I Met Your Mother Lost Top Chef Others I enjoy but not playing new eps right now: Mad Men, Dexter, Project Runway.
anythingtwice Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Friday Night Lights. I already watched season 3 (downloaded it) since it aired on DirectTV, but it's on NBC now on Fridays. Such an amazing show. Don't be turned off by the football, it's not just about that. So awesome.
t_ruth Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 I'm big on those HBO and Showtime shows: Dexter, L Word, Big Love, Weeds, Entourage
drpsych Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Ooo! How I Met Your Mother and Top Chef!! I also have to add The Office, sooo good. 30 Rock, I haven't had a chance to start watching yet, but hopefully I will at some point. As a random, I also love America's Best Dance Crew. Man, I wish I could dance.
dragynally Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Burn Notice The Closer Leverage Law and Order- any of them Bones Robot Chicken Family Guy Futurama And that's the short list :mrgreen:
ridgey Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Long off the air, but The West Wing is by far the best television series ever. Less classy, I find trashy soaps to be ideal for this period of waiting - having already justified "working" from home rather than going in, skipping the gym, not changing out of my pjs, it isn't such a big step to allow myself to watch The Bold and The Beautiful, or the like. The Catherine Tate Show is hilarious, but I don't know if that screens in America.
Louiselab Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 The LIFETIME MOVIE. When someone's husband is cheating and then his new girlfriend plots the death of his wife when he refuses to leave her... it all makes grad applications look so petty and undramatic. til the commercial.
cardnav Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 I'm a television whore...not going to lie, but the short list: House Bones Heroes Top Model Anything on Bravo (esp. Project Runway, Top Chef, Flipping Out, and Real Housewives in all forms)
sais Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 The greatest television show ever made: "The Wire" It's the only show that can distract me from my applications... it's THAT good!
missashley Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Chuck! i love chuck! he's so dreamy. also you can watch online. the new flight of the conchords was really funny too
Tritonetelephone Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Glad I won't be the only grad student who still owns a TV. The Office Lost (haven't seen the new ones yet - no spoilers, please!!!) Strangers with Candy (long off the air, but will always be a favorite) Daily Show & Colbert Report Flight of the Conchords (haven't seen the new ones yet either)
ewurgler Posted January 30, 2009 Author Posted January 30, 2009 The greatest television show ever made: "The Wire" It's the only show that can distract me from my applications... it's THAT good! OMG! I can't believe I forgot the wire on my list. Definitely my favorite drama. Does it make anyone else feel guilty about their choice of careers? Is it "ethical" for me to get a PhD when so many kids have the shittiest education ever! Season 4 made me feel so terrible.
gadhelyn Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Reruns of Stargate SG1 Heroes Fringe Lost Battlestar Galactica House Hunters My House is Worth What? Mythbusters Just to name a few :-D
Luckige Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Sopranos: hours concurs. During the last few months I've been watching "the Wire". Right now I'm at S04, and it is probably the best so far (they really screwed up on s02, don't you think?). On regular basis: Lost, House, Top Chef, 24, The Office (but I like the UK version better). Oh, and Curb your Enthusiasm. Larry is a god.
ndufour Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Don't watch nor do I own a television. I do watch TV shows from time to time though (always online). I've been known to watch: Futurama LOST Family Guy The Simpsons Mad Men Weeds King of the Hill The Daily Show The Sopranos The IT Crowd (there may only be 18 episodes over 3 seasons, and it may be British, but by god it's amazing, please check it out)
katanianQ Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 The BEST TV show ever has to be Peep Show (for those not in the UK- its not what you think!) Two guys in their late twenties- one is a neurotic socially awkward wreck and the other is a 'musician' who spends all his time mooching and getting high. you hear all of their inner thoughts which are ..hilarious.. The two guys in it, mitchell and webb, met at cambridge and did the whole footlights thing there.
MAN Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Here's my list: 30 Rock The Office Earl Burn Notice Psych Chuck (comes back on Monday!!!) Tony Bourdain: No Reservations HIMYM (How I met your mom) Scrubs (surprisingly not terrible since the network switch) The Simpsons Others not on right now: Mythbusters Prototype This (anyone else watch this? It's amazing what they do in only a few weeks) Last Comic Standing
jesso21 Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 I, too, am a crazy tv whore. Here's a list of some shows I like: Flight of the Conchords (I love Bret and his sugar lumps) Big Love HIMYM American Idol House LOST United States of Tara Grey's Anatomy The Office 30 Rock Psych The Real World (a bit ashamed of this one) Celebrity Sober House Reruns of Beverly Hills, 90210 Ruby BBCA's You Are What You Eat
stella Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 The Office, The Daily Show, and Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia get the lion's share of the credit for keeping me sane.
misterpat Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Always Sunny in Philadelphia Flight of the Conchords The Office Entourage Californication South Park No Reservations w/ Anthony Bourdain Man vs. Food (Kind of stupid)
dagger Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Man vs. Food (Kind of stupid) Its that "I cant turn away from a horrific car accident" sort of fascination. Whenever I watch I get the feeling he doesn't even accomplish half of his eating challenges.
misterpat Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Its that "I cant turn away from a horrific car accident" sort of fascination. Whenever I watch I get the feeling he doesn't even accomplish half of his eating challenges. I think the only one I've seen him fail was when the tried to eat the 8 breakfast burritos or whatever they were. I can't believe someone actually did that before.
Louiselab Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Oh, and Curb your Enthusiasm. Larry is a god. Larry is a god... They need to bring him back. soon.
purplepepper Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Desperate Housewives Gray's Anatomy Lost but I just watched for the first time the last Bruce Lee film Enter the Dragon made in the early 70s. highly recommended! Story is so simple, action is fantastic 70s movie action stuff. Love it when people die after getting hit over the head. (as opposed to the bloody gunshot blah of today) And when people still gave a thumbs up.
Tritonetelephone Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 Has no one mentioned Firefly yet? How could I have left Firefly off my list! Fox's biggest mistake ever: canceling that show.
