TV shows you always watch?

[tremorviolet]

Inspired, obviously, by the "Movies you always watch" thread?

What TV shows do you always watch when you hit them channel surfing? Show that you've seen a million times yet you always find yourself sucked into watching yet again. Include shows that aren't currently running anywhere too. I'm expecting a lot of posters to say any Trek and Law&Order. :)

Mine:

Bonanza
Big Valley
Any Trek ;)
Stargate SG-1
Starsky&Hutch
Emergency (no one ever runs this anymore)
Third Rock from the Sun
Simpsons
Futurama
Buffy
Monty Python
Blackadder

[Ephemera]

Star Trek, but mostly DS9 and some TNG. I'll skip VGR and TOS.
Friends
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
King of the Hill (hell if I know why.. I hate the characters)

[Kythereia]

24
Law and Order and spinoffs
hi, Opal
CSI and spinoffs

[Kat]

The only show I consistantly watch when I happen across it is M*A*S*H. The weird thing is, my roomie has all the M*A*S*H DVDs and I could watch it without commercials or editing (Most of the episodes I had previously seen only in syndication, and really enjoyed the "new" scenes that were edited out to cram in extra commercials) whenever I want, but I still have to watch it when I find it. :)

[Typo Negative]

Law and Order. no spinoffs

American Justice

The Simpsons

The Daily Show

Real Time

[yola]

China Beach

Old Carol Burnett shows

Northern Exposure

Homicide, Life on the Streets

Unsolved Mysteries

Darma & Greg

I am now a Seinfeld fan now that its in re-runs. Never watched it before and now I know what all hullabaloo was all about. Funny!

[Odinoneeye]

There are several shows that used to go under this category, but I've seen the reruns so much, it's not important anymore.

M*A*S*H, The Simpsons, and Futurama are three I can think of.

The only show I would watch whenever it came on would be Red Dwarf, and that's mostly because I only get it sporatically.

[supervenusfreak]

Am a TV nut here. mostly sitcoms though.

Roseanne

The Nanny

Golden Girls

I Love Lucy

[Largo62]

L.A. Law
Home Improvement
Law And Order (and spinoffs). I've even gotten used to DeNofrio's twitching.
The West Wing

[Agrippina]

"Law & Order: SVU"
"The Simpsons"
"Seinfeld"
"Roseanne"
"The Golden Girls"

Used to watch "Futurama" and "Family Guy" all the time, but since I have the boxed sets on DVD, I don't really see the point.

[Indygrrl]

Roseanne
Friends
Seinfeld
Frasier
Law and Order SVU

Andromeda
MXC (even if I've seen that episode a dozen times)

[Greywolf73]

Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (Don't ask, I don't know why either)

Family Guy

I Love the 70s/80s/90s/ (I swear these shows are TV crack)

[Sean Factotum]

We're out of milk, so get that along with your vegetable of choice. And no spinach this time!

[Loach]

Band of Brothers
Bands Reunited
Overhaul

[tdn]

Dharma and Greg is probably the only one on my list.

OK, I Love the (decade) as well.

But i must say, I face a dilemma every evening. Seinfeld and Good Eats are on at the same time. What to watch?

[Lute Skywatcher]

The only show I consistantly watch when I happen across it is M*A*S*H. The weird thing is, my roomie has all the M*A*S*H DVDs and I could watch it without commercials or editing (Most of the episodes I had previously seen only in syndication, and really enjoyed the "new" scenes that were edited out to cram in extra commercials) whenever I want, but I still have to watch it when I find it. :)Check to see if you get the Hallmark Channel, I'm pretty sure the ones they have are uncut. Sometimes they'll run an episode that I haven't seen in a long time. Yeah, I'm a M*A*S*H junkie too. :)

[Tapioca Dextrin]

Mine:

Bonanza
Big Valley
Any Trek ;)
Stargate SG-1
Starsky&Hutch

I'll second the last five. I'll add the BBC news. I'm guess that makes me very sad.

[Ankarette]

Blackadder
Gilmore Girls
West Wing
Law and Order

Wish the list were much, much longer...

[Kid_A]

The Simpsons
King of the Hill
South Park
Family Guy

Now some non-cartoons:

[ussentinel]

Presently, I can think of only two "can't miss" shows: 24, and Smallville.

Of old shows,
Star Trek (there, I said it)
Kolchak: The Night Stalker
The Rockford Files
Hawaii Five-0
Wild, Wild West
The Twilight Zone
Bonanza (but only the first few minutes to see the plot and who is guest-starring)
Wonder Woman
Batman

... all when I can find them on.

[JohnT]

Angel
Stargate SG-1
Cops
The Fairly Oddparents

Mythbusters
Wings
Trauma: Life in the ER
Star Trek: The Next Generation (sometimes; but only this "flavor" of ST)


Ankarette, I wish my list were shorter. ;)

[dubs]

Dick Van Dyke

Twilight Zone

Star Trek TOS--have you noticed that with the newly digitally enhanced (or whatever they did to them) episodes that the quality is so clear now that you can see all the makeup details, like the eyeliner on Kirk, and the props, etc. Like on the episode where they picked up a virus from a station on a planet where everyone went nuts and turned the heat off and they all froze to death, the dead guy on the floor was so clearly a dummy. I had seen that ep a zillion times over the years and always thought it was some guy lying on the floor, but now it's soooooo obviously a dummy!

[DanBlather]

The Dick Van Dyke Show - I think this was the best show ever.

[Lobsang]

Frasier.
