Any of you watch any TV Shows?
I don't get television channels myself, but I rent a few shows.
I really loved The (British version) Office. Had a fun time with that. Haven't had any interest in seeing the American version.
I watched X-Files up until the movie. Got a little tired of it after that, but I'm about to start up again.
I'm almost done with season 3 of LOST. I'm a huge LOST fan. I know the show has it's (many) flaws, but when it shines, it really shines. And I'm a sucker for a mystery.
Of course there's all the shows I watched as a kid, but the only one that still holds a real place in my heart is Gargoyles.

Oh, if you still love lost, the season fimnale will not disappoint you, and the new series has been interesting (up to episode 9) I don't watch normal TV, but...obtain...(and then buy the DVDs later) a few shows. I love Battlestar Galactica, although since it is ending the season the first few shows have felt...odd. Like I'm being foreced to watch the longest movie of all time in botesized chunks  I adore House, still weatcyh Scrubs (though it's not as good as it was), love My name is Earl, and...darn, there is other stuff, but I can't think. Doctor Who is the only british show I will religeously watch. I really am jaded to investing in any new shows, since I never know if they will be cancelled |

Series 2 of Heroes starts on BBC2 tonight. I might watch it as it goes along, or I might record the entire run then binge on it later.

Im with Wuuf in that I...aquire....US tv shows to watch. Current faves include Heroes, Lost, Earl, Reaper, Scrubs, Smallville. Really enjoyed the recent Terminiator series too and Bionic Woman, shame that isnt getting picked up for another series. Dr. Who is a must in our house, as well as Peep Show and The IT Crowd when its on.

Well, I don't watch much regular TV, but I do watch Torchwood, Doctor Who, Graham Norton, The Apprentice and Heroes. If I go around to my parents' house, I often watch things like Poirot, Diagnosis Murder and Murder, She Wrote.

I forgot to add, I'm a HUGE fan of MASH and watch several episodes of that a day. I've got a good portion of the show memorized.
I also love Columbo, but I don't own very much of it. Not like MASH, which Shannie's parents bought me.
I also watched a little Firefly, want to see more.

Firefly rules and was pulled from the airwaves much much too soon |

I've only seen a few episodes of Firefly, but they were great.

So at least two people would have gotten the ;it was the best day ever' reference in the healing contest then!

Firefly - for all the reasons mentioned above (and because it is simply badass). I have the first season on DvD and of course the movie, Serenity.
Family Guy - Hilarious show, good unwinder at the end of the day.
Scrubs - Honest, one of the best shows I have seen in a long time. Great for comedic relief but there is more to it. In each episode there is always at least one life lesson. I love it.

Only series that I'm watching almost religiously is Desperate Housewives. Otherwise, The Simpsons is the only other series that I'm trying to watch.
Does hockey count as TV series?

Does hockey count as TV series? Yes! ;D Well, it certainly does the way I watch it, 'cause we only get it once a week, so there's a whole week's worth of drama to be packed into each 2½ hour episode! Of more traditional series.... I recently got Series 1 of the X-Files on DVD, 'cause I remember the first two or three series being excellent. After that it all got far too wrapped up in its own conspiracies and became massively tedious. Early on though, it was really good. I watched the first two series of Due South on DVD last year, again prompted by fond memories, and wasn't disappointed - what a fantastic show! It's not out-and-out comedy, but, boy, do I ever sit through most of each episode with a massive, stupid grin plastered over my face! Haven't braved the later series when they changed Ray yet though. I've not really got into any of the recent smash hit TV series. 'Lost' lost me after ten minutes. I enjoyed three episodes of Desperate Housewives, but couldn't be bothered with the thought of another 19 or something. I stuck with Heroes for seven or eight episodes despite getting bored after about three, but it takes itself soooooooo seriously and nearly all the characters are so miserable and irritating. Oddly, I'm not watching Dr. Who so far this year, I think 'cause most of last year's series disappointed me so much. I never would've thought that I wouldn't watch Dr. Who - shocking! However, there have definitely been good things! Life on Mars was the most awesomest television I've seen in ages! I kept missing parts of Ashes to Ashes because of work, but it seemed very-good-also-though-not-quite-as-good. Supernatural, having looked like trashy teen horror fare when I first came across it, turned out to be seriously classy TV. And while it's perfectly capable of being serious, it also - unlike Heroes - knows how to be really fun as well! And nicely gruesome! And what I'm enjoying most right now is Dexter. Pretty twisted stuff, and occasionally not the easiest of watches - though it is frequently very funny - but it's brilliant! The central serial-killer-who-works-for-police-forensics idea could've come across as pretty smug and got tedious quickly, but not a bit of it! It keeps on twisting and turning, and making you squirm for all sorts of totally different reasons - excellent! @ Zipp: I haven't seen M.A.S.H. in a very long time, but I remember it being pure genius! |

I don't think it is worth it for 1 show. It would be more worth my while to just buy the season on DvD.
