Married with Children (still)
Farscape
The Shield
The Sopranos
Good Eats
And that’s about all the TV I watch regularly.
In order of greatness:
-
Farscape- greatest show in the history of television. The series finale is next week, Friday at 8:00! Watch it to see why it was so great!
-
Buffy- fun and intelligent show.
-
Angel- dark and intelligent show.
-
Simpsons Reruns- even though it has gone down hill over the past 6 years, the first 8 or so are great.
-
24/Alias- Fun, but brainless shows.
Currently running:
24
The Shield
CSI
Miracles
John Doe
The Dead Zone
I’m glad to see so many mentions of Scrubs. It’s the best thing when you need to be cheered up. An episode a day keeps the doctor away. Metaphorically speaking, of course.
Plus, I have to second, third and fourth Buffy. What will we do once it’s cancelled? What will we discuss? sniff
Will the occasional Angel help? I don’t think so…
I also enjoy Gilmore Girls. A little fun, a little drama, great cast.
Reruns:
Hogan’s Heroes
Wild Wild West
Lost in Space
Star Trek
Mission Impossible
New Stuff:
Whatever looks good on Discovery, History Channel, TLC, PBS and every once in awhile I sneak a peek at garbage TV like Joe Millionaire. I almost gagged but I did watch some of it.
I try to avoid making TV a priority. If it’s a choice 'tween hanging out with real people and watching TV, I always pick real life. Also, (since I live alone), watching TV is a solitary thing. I’d never go home to someone and watch TV or have someone over, turning on the idiot box (apart from major sports events).
Most things on TV suck. And I’d rather watch a rerun of any of these shows, than seeing most of the newer things:
Early Friends, Spin City, Frasier. The Wonder years, Moonlightning, early X-files, TNG, Seinfeld (which started going down, the moment his star end end stand-up act was no longer included) and of course Simpsons.
Of shows currently running here (or now in the US), I’ll watch:
Angel
Buffy
Oz,
C.S.I. (both shows)
Sopranos
West Wing
Six Feet Under
(I got hooked early on 24, but dropped it).
However, I never have the TV on, if not actively watching. If I want to watch a show, I turn it on, and when show is done, I turn it off. One hour of television or 50 pages in a book. I’ll pick the book anytime.

I have enjoyed Scrubs from the beginning. I still enjoy That 70s Show. Still watch Friends, but it is showing its age. After that, I don’t really enjoy TV anymore

ER
Friends

A show I really like but I haven’t seen in ages because I don’t know when it’s on:
Gilmore Girls
American Dreams. Great cast, great writing, great music.

Boomtown - if you’re not watching this, you should be!

American Dreams
Six Feet Under
Law & Order / Law & Order SVU (tied)
ER (it’s picked back up this season)
Comedy:
Scrubs - consistently funny
Monk - brilliantly witty

I work nights so I only get the opportunity to watch primetime television twice a week. Therefore my list will be short:
ALIAS (Sunday @ 9)
Miracles (Monday @ 10)
And though I don’t get to watch it live I would also recommend Farscape. A truly good show whose reach exceeded it’s grasp, the reason it was so good and the reason it couldn’t get new viewers.
Friends
Scrubs
Simpsons
Malcolm in the Middle
Reruns:
All of the above hold up well rerun wise
Roseanne
Hmm… I just realized that’s all I watch really.
Doh! Forgot Will and Grace!
