I watch pretty much anything on TCM. Love me some old flicks.
I watch alot of PBS. American experience, Nova, Masterpiece.
I always have CNN on with no sound unless I see Breaking News.
I love Ovation channel in the Mornings, Miss Fisher, Artful Detective, and recently they have been showing Boston Legal.
I like several things on the BBC.
I like AXS. Dan Rathers interview show and concerts.
…Call The Midwife, EastEnders,… and Antiques Roadshow on PBS. I watch a lot of PBS, other stuff, too. A concert by Il Voio at fundraising tine? An oldies reunion? I am so there.
…The Walking Dead. Grey’s Anatomy. Once Upon a Time, currently in its death throes…
My default station is TCM old movies, LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM.
…Andromeda on Comet TV, I’m sorry, but everyone on the show is so gorgeous I can’t look away. Followed by Stargate: Universe where nothing happens, but Mr. Robert Carlyle, even looking like a homeless deranged bum living on the street, captures my fancy like no one has in untold years.
…I can’t wait for American Horror Story to come back on FX, but also the almost unknown little odd show, ‘Baskets’, starring Louie Anderson as Mom Baskets (he won an Emmy) and Zach Galifanikis. Odd, sad, hilarious, and enchanting.
I mostly actually have on tv one of the music channels on the upper stations: smooth jazz, sounds of the seasons, light classicm or the oldies channel.
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
iZombie
Supernatural I’d lost interest in this for awhile, but the Scoobienatural episode has renewed it.
Elementary. I had to see if this was still active. They’ve got some new episodes coming out later this month.
Santa Clarita Diet
Star Trek Discovery
The Orville
The Magicians
Westworld
The Good Place
The Big Bang Theory
The Good Doctor
Like I said, I have read almost all the books, so I already know most of the backstory and love the story in general.
That said, the show has been 5 stars all the way so far. I made it through 6 episodes into the wee hours until I had to close the lids and sleep…and even then I was still on the Rocinante.
Currently in its third season, Billions is on Showtime at 9pm on Sundays. I love this show. It’s a drama in which the antagonists are a hedge fund owner (played by Damian Lewis as a poor boy who got really, really rich) and the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York (played by Paul Giamatti as a guy who was born to wealth and went to the best schools but chose to take a relatively low-paying job as a government attorney). My description perhaps makes it sound really dry and dull but it’s not. It’s often hilarious and has complex plotting that requires close viewing.
If you decide to watch it, I recommend going back to the beginning and starting from there. I think each season only has ten or so episodes, so it wouldn’t take long to catch up.
BTW, several networks (HBO, Showtime, AMC, PBS, etc) broadcast their biggest shows on Sunday nights at 9pm. If you’re still watching live TV, it makes it a little hard to watch everything, but if you want to know what program a channel is most proud of, check out their schedule for that time.
I mostly watch reruns of old shows on basic cable, for instance Seinfeld, Big Bang Theory, and even, believe it or not, Perry Mason. Lately TBS has been running old seasons of Brooklyn 9-9, which is pretty damn funny.
The only current show I watch is Survivor. I think Bob’s Burgers is hilarious, but I always forget to tune in to see it.
Much to my surprise, I have found The Great British Baking Show to be fascinating, but my local PBS station runs it on Saturday afternoons, which is my least favorite time to sit and watch TV.
Oh, and I watch Conan, which I like a lot, especially his offbeat choices for guests. He had Dana Carvey on last night and I almost fell off the couch laughing.
I watch a lot of TV. A lot. My TiVo can record up to four different channels at the same time, and I make good use of that capability. I hardly ever watch any live TV these days. Of all the shows I watch, though, here are the ones that I tend to watch right away when they show up in my queue:
I should add, I’ve also been watching Final Space avidly. I think it’s wrapping up soon. It started out more silly-fun, but it’s gotten a lot darker lately. The main character is way over-dramatic and a hoot to watch. I believe it’s on TBS.
On your recommendation I tried it and I love it, though I was disappointed they killed Tim Stack immediately. He’s great as a corpse and even better alive.
The Orville
Brooklyn Nine-Nine (I avoided it for years because of Andy Samberg but am now completely caught up.)
Deception
Lucifer
Superstore
Angie Tribeca
Ash vs Evil Dead
The Walking Dead
Game of Thrones
Archer
Daredevil (I do find it a bit amusing how MCU Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan is portrayed as this gritty gang and ninja infested neighborhood where vigilantes like DD, Jessica Jones and The Punisher are the only think standing in the way of the Kingpin as a ruthless force of gentrification)
Brooklyn Nine-Nine (I’m a couple seasons behind though)
Ash vs Evil Dead
Black Mirror
P K Dicks Electric Dreams
With two small kids, I really don’t get to watch much TV though.
I read the Expanse series a few months ago, and I’m now reading them again. I liked them that much. So good.
I’ve tried to watch the show 4 times now and I just can’t do it. I haven’t even managed to make it through the first season. I know people love it, and I hope you enjoy it, but I didn’t like it at all.
I am still watching L&O: SVU, but anymore, it’s just to see how much of a trainwreck it can become. Kinda the same thing for Criminal Minds, although I always liked to watch that for the bad science. I don’t always watch every episode of that, though. I record it, but if I get more than three backed up, I start deleting.
Other than those two, the only thing I watch loyally is The Big Bang Theory. Lately I’ve been hanging around for Young Sheldon, though.
I like Baskets, but I keep missing it.
And I have a backlog of Modern Familys. That show has become unfunny to me.
Here’s a bunch. I watch way more than this that I am enjoying, but I wouldn’t class them as favourites, either because they’ve lost their shine or it’s too early to tell.
