Doctor Who/Torchwood/Heroes/Dexter prety much all I make time to watch now...oh, except Chinese TV serials, though some of those are just too predictable and slow for me... I like the ones with errant roving heroes and fighting on the rooftops, together with training sequences that last for more than twenty episodes and turn the main character into a kick-arse mofo to deal to the bad guys.

Dexter, Blood Ties, Supernatural, Criminal Minds and Numbers.

Old shows The West Wing and Fraiser.

I abandoned tv for a while, now ... Last thing I followed was House, which I don't know how's doing.

Before that, it used to be Crossing Jordan, if I'm not mistaken. Silly (very silly!), but possible to watch, and funny, in its way.

Before that ... Aw, there was that Battlestar Galactica, which I didn't get until the end either.

And, apart from Star Treks (of which I hated Deep Space 9 and endured Voyager ...),

before that it was Parker Lewis can't loose, back in the '90s. That one was VERY GOOD!, however they were getting worse and worse, toward the end.

(Before that I think it was Duck Tales! :) )

Favourite TV shows?

There doesn't seem to be a thread about television, so I'm creating one. I know television shows aren't purposeful or enlightening, but they're entertainment. They're also rather effective procrastination tools, which is nice.

What types of TV shows do you guys watch? Which shows are your favourites? I like Doctor Who, Supernatural, and anything created by Joss Whedon. House and Criminal Minds are also really good.

"Northern Exposure" -- it was the best TV show that I have ever seen. In fact, it's the only TV show that makes me feel like I'm a better person for having watched it. The only other show that could approach that level of complexity and delight was MASH.

Current show: I like "Heroes" -- it's nice, light entertainment.

Firefly, Survivorman, Burn Notice, among others. Most of the recent animated shows I watched (Justice League Unlimited, Teen Titans, Avatar: The Last Airbender) have gone off the air.

I adore "Northern Exposure"! I haven't gotten to see it in so long. Someday I WILL buy the whole series, I swear it!

Currently, I love "The Closer", "NCIS", "Criminal Minds", "30 Rock", "The Big Bang Theory", "How I Met Your Mother", "Burn Notice", "In Plain Sight." It probably sounds like all I do is watch T.V., but it only comes to about an hour a night. I find it very relaxing to be absorbed in a story after a stressful day at work (I'm a teacher).

:idea:"Jeopardy!" Very informative.

"Dr. Who" is an amazing TV show. PBS offers good educational shows, also.

"Charmed" is a pretty good TV show about 3 "white" witches-filmed in San Francisco,California.

I like CSI: NY because of the top-notch cast.

I hardly ever watch TV, but I like Jeopardy, too. When I guess correctly, it makes me feel smart...haha

I saw many TV series on DVD - House, Monty Python, 40 Something, and lots of mini-series, documentaries. I would like to see Twin Peaks and Northern Exposure again on DVD. I own a lot of shows on DVD from the 60's and 70's. I just love those those old sitcoms - they are scream to watch now. I adored The Twilight Zone - expensive to buy now on DVD's. The old Hitchcock TV Show episodes I have seen on DVD (some of them at least) - they were just great!

I'm a huge fan of NCIS :)

brilliant dialogue! Love the one-liners. I'm laughing through the whole show. oh, the stories are great too.

Lost, SYTYCD, Weeds, crappy reality tv shows, Northern Exposure, Twin Peaks, The Office.

I'm always looking for new series to watch, anyone got any good suggestions?

EDIT: Janine, wow you like Twin Peaks AND Northern Exposure, those are my two fav shows of all time. Good taste! Know of any shows nowadays that are as good as those? I got into Lost because the writers of Lost were primarily inspired by Twin Peaks. I think you'd like Lost, as it's like Twin Peaks but more science-fictiony. Also, all of the Twilight Zone is available now at cbs.com (best sci-fi show of all time)

I'm curious too, what is SYTYCD?

I'm a fan of Medium, which switched networks, now on CBS. And I love The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, both very funny. Dexter is very good too, but I can't watch the HBO version because it's more graphic.

^ One of the best parts about being in Canada is that we get to watch both the American and Canadian versions of the show.
However, Cat Deeley > Leah Miller.

I've never seen the Canadian version, but I've been led to understand the American version is a lot better anyway.

Mathor, I must admit that I have watched more Twin Peaks then Northern Exposure. I like Lynch's sense of quirpy drama. His movies are good/intriguing, as well. Years back, I saw Blue Velvet in the movies; don't recall much about it now. I also not long ago I saw Mulholland Drive. Manolia highly recommended it and I have seen it several times now and discussed it with her through PM's.

However, even though I didn't watch a lot of the actual show, I have been to the little town of Roslyn in Washington State (where they filmed the show); I actually saw them shooting an episode of Northern Exposure on a beautiful late summer day; I thought that was pretty exciting. I picked up some nice post cards, while visiting there and I also took some cool photos; wish I had taken more; unfortunately, they are not digital. I recall getting one of side of the cafe. That was the best of the lot. I should try to watch the episodes online now; are they online? I guess Youtube would have them, right? One of my best friends was a big fan of the show, so I know it was pretty cool. I just looked it up online. You can view some neat photos of the cafe on Flickr here:

http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=Rosl...e+Roslyn&w=all

Also, there is an article here where it tells how the residents of Roslyn were not all that pleased with them using their small mining town as the location of the TV series. See this link:

http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,316186,00.html

Twilight Zone was the best! I grew up with that show. My son loved it, too and he went on to adore the X-Files. I liked those, also; but nothing could beat the original Twilight Zone!

I love the Hitchcock Presents, now available on DVD sets. I remember that show well. I always looked forward to viewing it whichever night it aired. It is still so cool. Tonight I have to finish watching the Hitchcock movie Shadow of a Doubt; intriguing as always.

I love the show late at night with Craig Fergusen; I think he's a scream and he always has great guests; I also like Letterman; but mostly, I catch them both online, usually on Youtube. I enjoy earlier The Larry King Show on CNN; sometimes I catch it when he has a good guest.
