No, but I have started watching Grey's Anatomy on ABC which I have throughly enjoyed so far.

[Lazymeatball]

pretty much the only non syndicated show I watch is House, other than that I just watch baseball and 10 episodes a week of CSI reruns. I'll have to check out this Grey's Anatomy.

[private joker]

1. The Shield
2. Arrested Development
3. Wonder Showzen
4. Scrubs
5. Six Feet Under
6. Rescue Me
7. Curb Your Enthusiasm
8. Gilmore Girls
9. The Simpsons
10. Nip/Tuck

Honorable Mention because the pilot hasn't even aired yet but it rules: "3LBS."

[Chris Daddy Cool]

alias and nip/tuck are the only two shows i watch regularly nowadays.

soon to be best: FAMILY GUY

i also watch a simpsons and south park episode here and there, just dont' have that much time to watch tv.

[purnell]

You guys actually watch that much TV?

[/ QUOTE ]

Not anymore. Read your New York Times -- television writing, direction, and acting has entered an age (thanks to budgets, advertising, and production values -- not to mention SAG and AFTRA perks) where it can compete both artistically and intellectually with the motion picture industry. Episode 5 of THE SHIELD this season is as good as any movie that has been released in six months.

Anyway, these are the types of comments made by people who don't watch much TV. Figures. Good to know you're well educated on the matter. /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[DougOzzzz]

In no order: Deadwood, Sopranos, Carnivale, Six Feet Under, Curb Your Enthusiasm

see a trend?

As for non-HBO stuff, only series I watch are 24, The Shield, and The Simpsons. All 3 of those though seem to be going into decline mode.

[Nick-Zack]

Where the hell is Alias?

[Uethym]

The fact that the thread has gone this far without a mention of Lost is criminal.

[pc in NM]

1.Deadwood
2.The Wire
3.The Sproanos
4.Huff
5.Law and Order
6.Curb Your Enthusiasm
7.Six Feet Under

[slickpoppa]

Starting today, Family Guy

[RicktheRuler]

I don't watch very much TV, but Deadwood and Carnivale are both good shows. I really hope you aren't really watching all of those shows.

[tbach24]

1. 24



2. Family Guy




3. South Park




4. The rest of Adult Swim





















5-10. Anything else

[a500lbgorilla]

24 is number 1. I don't even see how this can be debated.

[this guy]

In no particular order:

24
Six Feet Under
The Shield
Scrubs
Arrested Development
Six Feet Under
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Veronica Mars
Nip/Tuck
Lost

[awval999]

House is the best show on.

[Roan]

I think the Daily Show belongs in the top ten for sure. It's remarkably funny/intelligent/topical, and the fact that they do 4 shows/week is amazing.

[prizminferno]

The OC
Grey's Anatomy
Scrubs

[Skipbidder]

I'm in no position to debate, since I'm not watching those shows. I'm watching House and HUFF (no current episodes right now). HUFF may be done for me. The end of the first season was not so good.

[touchfaith]

#1 - 24 (Ok, it's no Season 1, but it's still the best thing on)

#2 - House

#3 - Amazing Race (Rohhhb n Ambahh can act with the best of them)

#4 - The News (Any news...Do they really believe they are giving a non-bias opinion? Pure acting at it's finest)


Any CSI and/or Law &amp; Order spin-off listing warrants immediate dis-qualification for poor taste.

[Slade]

1. Family Guy
2. Arrested Development
3. 24

[edtost]

24, house, lost

[WEASEL45]

Third Watch
Scrubs
Law &amp; Order
Lost
Charmed
Crossing Jordan
Smallville
The Office
Alias
Law &amp; Order SVU

[banditbdl]

Daily Show is still good, but its almost become a parody of itself at times.

I guess when I say I like the daily show, what I mean is that I like Jon Stewart. I think that the beginning of the show is always great, I could do without the taped segments with the weird reporter pieces, they're mostly just typical dick and fart jokes.

I think Stewart is great at pointing out the hypocrisy in gov't and the media.

Your list blows... House is not on it.

Las Vegas is not on it.

[admo415]

House is my favorite show

[KingMarc]

1. 24 &lt;---best show ever
2. Third Watch
3. The Shield
4. CSI Miami (and the rest of CSI)
5. Law and Order SVU (and the rest of L&amp;O)
6. House
7. ER
8. Without A Trace
9. Simpsons
10. Family Guy

I'm a drama junkie.

[Non_Comformist]

OK Curb Your Ethusiam should have been the list, I completely forgot about it.

I would have included six feet under but I believe there are no longer new episodes being made.

Maybe I'm the only one, but I find Malcolm in the Middle to be especially hilarious. It would be in my top 10 for sure.

[a500lbgorilla]

I've never seen lost, when's it on?

[cab4656]

House is awesome. It's probably the first network show that I refuse to miss an episode of in a while.

I liked Lost, but I haven't been keeping up with it. I need to catch some reruns or something. It's a good show.

[ QUOTE ]
Desperate Housewives

[/ QUOTE ]

I didn't say it. But I watch this show. Thank goodness the internet is anonymous, because I do have a penis.

Grey's Anatomy is my frontrunner for rookie of the year. I'm not completely sure if this show doesn't have the same problem as the one immediately above, but I like it.

I might like to get into these shows, but something (started watching too late, etc.) is stopping me:

24
Arrested Development
The OC

[Klepton]

seeing as it's 20 episodes into the season, you will be extremely confused if you watch it now... i recommend downloading the episodes or waiting until the DVD comes out in like august

but anyway, wednesday at 8

[BWebb]

What the hell, no Chappelle Show??? New eposides start May 31st, bitches!!! West Wing, 24 and Arrested Development are the only 3 I regularly watch. For none acted shows, I'd say the Contender and I'm also getting into Intervention.

[MasterShakes]

In no particular order:

Family Guy
South Park
The Amazing Race
Survivor
Six Feet Under
Nip/Tuck
The Shield
Aqua Teen Hunger Force
The Sopranos
Home Movies

There is no way The Simpsons is still one of the ten best shows on TV. It has been terrible throughout most of this season.

I haven't watched Deadwood, Carnivale, House, Desperate Housewives, or Lost, and after reading this thread, I get the feeling that I'm missing out.

I officially quit watching Smallville this season. There isn't a show that I've watched that's fallen off like it has.

I gave up on Lost after (I think) the first episode when it showed a jet engine from the destroyed plane running at full throttle on the beach. You can't get much more retarded than that.

[Klepton]

my house is in the airforce and this also is his reason for not watching the show...

1) it's been about 2 minutes since the crash, the engine was slowing down

2) using this as an excuse to not watch an amazing and addiction drama is really lame

[Non_Comformist]

Again shows must be acted to qualify.

1.Curb Your Enthusiam
2.Deadwood
3.The Sheild
4.Battle Star Galatica
5.The West Wing
6.South Park
6.Six Feet Under
7.Chapelle Show
8.Carnivale*
9.Desperate Housewives
10.Entourage

Honarable Mention
Simpsons
Nip/Tuck
Law and Order
Scrubs
24
Justice League Unlimited

Shows I need to check out ASAP
The Wire
Arrested Developement
Lost
House

My DVR will set accordingly

Dear TV Haters; Suck It

I watched three episodes before I figured out it's the same every week: Someone is dying. House has a theory. He "knows" what is wrong with them. If he's wrong, they die. The hospital administrator takes him off the case again. His assistant run around like rats in a maze until they prove he's right. The patient is saved. The end.

[jakethebake]

Did anyone watch American Dad? Did that suck or what? /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Why does CSI get increasingly worse with each new show? Caruso is terrible in Miami. And the New York show just sucks. With the exception of Sinise, no one can act on that show. They sould like they're reading cue cards.

Watching TV shows for the women in it is entertaining....for about two episodes until you realize the show is really stupid.

Unless you are really repressed....or married.

married
actually, I skip tv if the tides are right and the fishing's good.

[Bulldog]

Off the top of my head, shows I try to catch on a semi-regular basis...

The Simpsons
Malcolm in the Middle
Arrested Development
MXC
Las Vegas
West Wing
Law &amp; Order (original)
Law &amp; Order: Criminal Intent
American Dreams
Family Guy
WPT
Stump the Schwab

[Rduke55]

24's been dragging a little recently. I still love it but the soap opera [censored] is too much. In the office it's all "I'm your boss." "No I'm your boss." "Did you sleep with him when we were still married?" etc. while Jack is effin' STABBING HIMSELF to improve his cover.

1. The Shield
1. (Tie) Deadwood
3. 24
4-10 Adult Swim, except for Tom Goes to the Mayor

[Rduke55]

I haven't seen House either but it does seem to have that plotline every week.
House butting heads with the hospital brass and the family of the patient. His wackiness might work or might kill the patient. "Tune in to see if House has finally gone too far!"

[Rduke55]

Robot Chicken is fantastic.

Any idea if Alton plans on making any more? I used to Tivo all his shows til I realized I was recording the same 10-15 episodes. He's awesome at explaining the ins and outs of cooking.

[Nottom]

New ones still pop up every now and then, I would expect a new season to show up sometime in the next few months.

Also, there are a whole lot more than 15-20 Episodes. Food.com shows 8 seasons of about 15 episodes each. The most recent ones are form earler this year I think.

i dont watch tv that much -- but i like the food network

most of the cooking shows i dislike -- just because the host is an idiot --- good eats is probably my favorite of all the cooking shows, i think mainly because he explains things more -- instead of just mixing a buch of premeasured ingedients together and tossing it in the pan


cheers

[beerbandit]

i want to pick that show where the cameras are in the house with all the chicks but had forgotten what it is called

[Shajen]

Good to know. I stopped tivoing them because it was literally the same episodes. Guess I've seen a lot more than I thought.

Thanks for the scoop.

*bump* because I found torrents for all 8 seasons, and figure someone might want them.

edit - these are torrents for "Good Eats" - a cooking show.
