What shows are keeping you glued to the tube right now? What type of shows do you like in general? Is there a new TV show coming up that you're really anticipating? There's of course a lot of local differences (do they show "Der Alte" in the US?). Discuss.

Hmmm. I've largely come to the conclusion that most TV is rubbish - of my top 10 shows, 6 of them've been axed (that's the British word for "cancelled" for the uninitiated!). I do tend to keep track of South Park and Peep Show where possible though, and recently watched through Heroes, which was worth my time. Think the next thing on my hitlist to watch is the American version of The Office - I've heard it's worthwhile, so thought I'd take a look.

Most TV shows are bad as Phil said.
But I have watched that I can't wait to come back is Pushing Daisies, Burn Notice, and The IT Crowd.
Other then those I'm content with my IPTV shows and podcasts.

Since I have no direct TV access at the moment I'm only keeping up with a couple "new shows" because of restrictions. My list right now is Skins (because the second season is looking better than the first and once I start watching something I like to know what happens), Aqua Teen Hunger Force (because my friend is an addict) and Family Guy (because, well, it rocks). Other than that I'm making my way through the odd anime series my friends recommend me (makes for good study breaks) and not a lot else.

I'm looking forward to being able to catch up on stuff I've missed these last few months. I'm a sucker for the biggies: Since I've missed the newest seasons of Lost, Desperate Housewives and Ugly Betty (and of course all of Heroes) I'm looking to catch up with them in the summer somehow, but for now I'm actually contented just to sit back and ignore most of the TV world. Phil is mostly right on the statement that most TV sucks, but it still manages to reel me in when I least expect it.

Anyone into Dexter?

I don't watch much TV (actually hate almost all 1hr drama-esque shows, only watch certain comedy shows) but Dexter has me hooked. I love how he finally got back at his psycho ex girlfriend.

he's me sick demented evil twisted hero.

The only shows that are still on for me to watch at the moment are Lost, South Park and Jericho. Everything else is on hiatus or dead!

South Park has seen better seasons but I will remain loyal as it has that ability to surprise you.

I hate the fact that the producers are just waiting to pull the plug on Jericho. It makes me so mad!

Lost will always be around....forever.

I'm not big into anything that's on TV right now... Kinda sad but I seem to be interested less and less but what's out there. On DVD, I did just recently get through all of "Weeds", which was so both funny and touching.

I have some friends who are trying to get me into "Rome" but I'm not much of a history buff so I dropped off after the first couple of episodes.

Voxy, you have similar tastes as me, and I too hate most of what's on TV, so you owe yourself a favor and snag 'Dexter' episodes off the net. Start at season 2, episode 8 or 9 and go from there. great show, i think you'd enjoy it.

One way to know its good is its based on a series of novels, not on some lame re-hashed scripts.

Imagine taking CSI, The Office, and a Snuff film, and putting it in a blender.

More than one person now has suggested Dexter. I think I might have to make the effort to check it out. Though I prefer to start from the beginning (I'm quirky like that). No matter how bad, I hate to start right in the middle of something.

at least its just start of 3rd season, so its easy to catch up. (i plan on watching season 1 as well - only seen *most* of season 2, but nothing from season 1)

not like trying to get caught up to the Sopranos :)

Well the only show I actually make a point to watch is Lost. Although, honestly, I am getting kind of tired of it right now.

I used to be a right old tele addict but now i only watch Lost, The Riches and Southpark. There are some on a break like Prison Break, House, Heroes, Stargate Atlantis and Pushing Dasie's.

Iv started watching Dexter on and off, i like it as it seems quirky, but i haven't had time to watch it properly.

Pushing Daisies and House, sometimes Heroes. All of them are currently airing where I live.

I also really like British comedy so I try to watch as much of it as I possibly can (DVDs and YouTube are my friends, and we have BBC Prime). \o/

I've seen a couple episodes of Pushing Daisies but never had a chance to watch the whole thing. Kind of a shame because I thought those episodes were really cute.

Mostly I watch TV randomly and it's mostly on as background noise as I surf the Internet. I'd usually put on to something like The Price is Right or The People's Court, sometimes The Tyra Banks Show, but mostly I watch them shows when I'm sick in bed. Other times I'll watch them random reality shows on MTV. Sure it's all really bad stuff but I make many poor choices in life. Lately I've been getting into Torchwood and I fear for the future...

But for stuff that I actually think is good...
Project Runway, and when there's no Project Runway I end up watching Top Chef, not as good as Project Runway but good enough.
Antiques Roadshow. Good gosh is that show not addicting. I keep going to garage sales with the hope that one day I can find something valuable, so far all junk...
House is always fun.
Oh and the other day I watched John Adams on HBO and thought it was pretty epic.

My favorite TV shows Balls of Steel (just makes me laugh all the time the pranks are great on it and the show is just really worth checking out if you have not seen it), Robot Chicken, Shameless, Skins (i really enjoy the show because it is like real life and the acting in the show is spot on), Eastenders, Coronation Street, Spaced (i really got into that show it is one that is worth seeing and it's one i can watch over and over with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost they really make it worth watching.)

Right now I'm really enjoying Pushing Daisies, Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, CSI: New York and Bones. I've also just started watching Chuck which is interesting thus far.
