Favorite Non-Animated TV Shows

[Useless]

Yay, another useless thread for people to post in.....

So basically, anyone that wants to post and discuss some non-animated shows, whether they are off or on the air, that they like, knock yourself out.

In my case, I like to watch Veronica Mars, House, Royal Canadian Air Farce, The Red Green Show, and occassional one of the CSI shows.

*can't think of a witty or good way to end this message, so just post away*

Cheap Seats.

Cheaps Seats is a show that parodies sports events, often the ones that you never hear about anyways. Shown at 10:00 PM weekdays on ESPN Classic.

It's an awesome show. Just...brilliance....D:

OoO An American who watches Air Farce, how intruiging...... XD

I actually don't watch it anymore, but when I did I found it pretty cool.

Actually, the only weekday show I watch these days is House. It's really cool, it's the only drama I have ever watched, and I love the wit and humor that is thrown in. Brilliant show really, tons of hidden jokes, really good drama, writing etc. I think it's directed by the guy who did the Xmen movies isn't it? Something like that..... Anyways...

I also REALLY liked the new Dr. Who series. I don't think it's avaliable in the US, but, in the UK it's a pop culture icon comparable to star trek. It was really well done, tons of variety in story, good CG effects... nice acting. I can't wait for the new season.

I also like Star Trek to some degree. To the point I really like watching it.... but, I wouldn't go to any convention or anything.....

There was also a show here in Canada called "2030 CE" it only lasted two seasons, but it had an really good concept, and an engaging plot. The acting was meh though, and the stories per episodes were a big rough.

Well, as my profile says, I live in Michigan. I'm located close enough to pick up the CBC in my broadcast area. Plus, it's nice to known they keep their episodes up on their site to watch.

I also saw parts of the recent season of Dr. Who. Despite getting into the middle, I found it interesting, especially in the episode where they parodied some popular reality gameshows (Anne Robinson-bot, that was kind of hilarious, if you ignored the whole "blasting-Weakest-Links-with-a-death-ray-that-was-actually -a-teleporter-beam" thing). Sadly, I haven't found time to watch it again.

Law and Order: Special Victims Unit

Antiques Road Show

Cold Case

I don't watch TV that much, but those are a few I could think of.

Well, I used to love watching CSI. But it sort of died for me when CSI Miami came along. Haven't watched it since. >>

And like Vasuki, I have grown an odd liking towards House. o_o; I mean, I really don't like shows like that, take ER for example, I hate that show. XD But after seeing only 2 or 3 episodes of House, I really liked it. It kept me interested the entire episodes through. XD And it has SARCASM. INSTANT WIN. *shot*

o_o;; I don't watch a lot of TV... um... do late night shows count? xD; Because I do love watching Conan O'Brien. XDD I like him more than Jay Leno, for sure.

And... that's all I got. >>

Honestly, I'll almost always be watching either the news, weather, or educational TV.....but.

Depending on my mood, I'll watch anything else......my current favorites are: House, NCIS, Supernatural, Desperate Housewives, and My Name Is Earl. I'll also watch NBC Late night if I'm awake (as long as it isn't that loser Daly, it's a toss-up between Conan and Leno). Other than network, The Daily Show With Jon Stewart is something I'll catch sometimes.

I'm actually a big fan of BBC shows. Most of which I watch are re-runs of 'Are You Being Served?' and 'As Time Goes By'.

[kfttjdb]

Ah yes, BBC. I forgot about that. I like Keeping Up Appearances.

[Throes]

Well, since I don't have cable, or sattelite, and only get the free channels so I have limited options. I usually watched shows like "The Office", "SNL", "CSI", for that dual show, double episode plot "CSI: Miami" and "CSI:NY", but that was mainly for those two episdoes, which I enjoyed, "Arrested Development", "Lost", "That 70's Show", "The Tonight Show", Letterman, "The Late Late Show" with Craig Ferguson, "The Drew Carey Show", Conan O'Brian, and "The Red Green Show", when I know it's on. Most of the shows on WB don't appeal to me that much, but if something good is on, I'll watch it, same goes for UPN.

As for when I actually have cable to watch, I usually turn on Comedy Central, "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart is good, but I usually just channel surf and look for somthing good to watch.

When PBS was broadcasting their HD feed in our area (our local PBS didn't renew the licence so the HD feed was cut), I watched a bunch of those shows, like "History Detectives", one of the best things about that was that there was usually no kids programming, and it actually intrigued me. I like learning, especially about stuff from recent history. I also like to know about stuff most common people wouldn't.

Shows that aren't on TV anymore, or that I can't watch. I used to watch "Mr. Bean" when I was little, "Red Dwarf" was a good one too. "Home Improvement" is also a show I like, however, it's on too early in the day, same goes with "Roseanne", I like that show.

Now, you're thinking, this is an awfully big list for someone who doesn't even have cable. Well, I think it is too. So sue me.

Firefly. It's all about Firefly.


I do watch Lost, Commander in Chief, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Charmed, Survivor, and Revolution, and Team Knight Rider will always have a special spot in my heart, but it's all about Firefly.

BTW, Lovely, Firefly has it's own forum on my board now.

[kfttjdb]

Dessa what's Revolution?

Yeah usually when I watch TV, it's the news. But like Throes, I don't have cable. And I know if I did I would probably watch more TV. I like Dateline and 48 Hours too. And occasionally I would watch some of the soap operas on Telemundo...

[Lovely]

Off the air: Firefly. And I really liked the show "Eyes" that was only out for like... 5 episodes. Stupid network didn't give that great show a chance ;_; .

Syndication: I don't mind catching an episode of Malcom in the Middle, Friends, and That 70's Show from time to time.

Current: Lost and Everybody Hates Chris (GREAT show . ) I try never to miss those two shows.

When I have time and can remember I also like to watch My Name is Earl and random episodes of Law and Order: SVU (though SVU's "DRAMATIC" endings can get a little annoying after a while .)

Aaaaaand, I like watching random cooking competitions and festivals on Food Network and the occasional episode of Pimp my Ride on MTV.


Y'know, this post may make it sound like I watch a lot of T.V, but I don't really ^^;. I tend to leave the t.v on when I'm on the internet at home too.

[TakinawaTonfa]

I'd have to go with The Daily Show. I'm sure theres more that I like but I can't think of 'em right now...

[Gus]

Hmm. I dun have cable, so my list'll prolly be pretty short... ^_^;;

Uhm. Lost, is badass. The CSI shows are always fun to watch, House is pretty good... Uhm, SNL has kinda fallen out of its former glory, but I'll still catch that sometimes... Seinfeld, is good... uhm, Scrubs, I loved that show, but it never seems to be on anymore... uh...

...huh. I'll prolly think of more as soon as I hit 'post', but that looks good for now. ^_^;;
