    I'm doing a second watch-through, and have started watching Warehouse 13 as well, which seems like a fun show thus far, but nothing to write home about yet. About halfway through first season and working my way from there.

    Have watched and enjoyed Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis. Loved Farscape. Robinhood, and Dharma and Greg.

    I dislike shows where they brandish a lot of crudeness for no apparent reason. I like subtly and discretion, and artful dialogue, humour and lots of puns. :P
    I love Eureka and I watch Warehouse 13, I watched all stargate sg1 recently and now I am writing a essay about it, I have Farscape on my 'to watch' list, what's the best part of it?

    I'd have to say that you've never seen anything like it, but the acting is absolutely wonderful, especially by the main character. (I'm not usually the one who's 'favourite' is the main character, but he's definitely on top in this show. Him and, my first fave, I think her name is X'an. She's blue. )

    And I mean, there are muppets. This is Jim Henson at his best.

    It's pretty funky at first, and you may find yourself saying, ''Well, this is ridiculous,''

    But in the end, it's all worth it. Lots of fun story plot twists, believable personalities, and you can tell that the writers and producers put a lot of heart into the show.

    There's also a movie after you're done watching all the seasons. They cancelled the show after a fun cliff hanger that made the fans make an uprising and demand a movie. And a movie was made. And the people rejoiced.

    Honestly, they could've left it at the cliffhanger in my opinion. It was funny. But apparently it satisfied everyone involved.

    Anyway, Farscape is classic.

    I am really really loving Portlandia. I never knew Fred Armissen(sc) was funny, because SNL sucks with Seth Meyers(sc) running the show. Man, Portlandia is the weirdest show on TV right now. Terrific!

    I also like the forensic docos, profiling killers and FBI files, that sort of thing - except those crazy psychic ones who visit unsolved murders and get a 'vibe' about what really happened...ugh!

    It means I don't know if I'm spelling their names correctly and I'm not going to bother to spell check. It was a bit of laziness on my part.

    I'm wholeheartedly with you and the laziness! I'm just living the same situation at this very moment, like I should be in bed instead of posting

    I only watch tv shows online and I mostly watch old ones like Sopranos, Oz, Entourage, Rescue Me. I like Seinfeld but I've seen them all from when I was younger. Breaking Bad is a good show but its depressing, super depressing. I don't like Mad Men. They need to make more good shows. The acting and writing of the Sopranos was as good as that of any film pretty much.
