grey's anatomy addict right here.

and most extreme slimination challenge on spike tv. take a crazy japanese game show (they're all crazy, but yeah) and mix it with silly voice overs and you have yourself one of the funniest things ever. even japanese people like the new version better than the original show.

JLM · « **Reply #2 on:** 28 Apr 2006, 15:27 »

Japanese people like it better? Reference? Not t hat I doubt you, I just think it's an interesting phenomenon if it's true. (a couple of japanese people you happen to know don't count).

For me:

The Boondocks
The Daily Show
The Colbert Report
The Venture Bros.
Smallville
Frontline
House

Are all pretty much the only programs I watch regularly (though I will admit to getting sucked into Project Runway. And also that the person I wanted to win in that show did).

Who's Line Is It Anyway?

I also like:
Family Guy
Futurama
Robot Chicken
Aqua Teen Hunger Force
Southpark

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #4 on:** 28 Apr 2006, 15:37 »

um hello? yo momma
</sarcasm>

futurama reruns!
samurai champloo reruns
trigun reruns
the colbert report is almost always funny

i dunno i dont watch that much tv so i'm prolly missing all kinds of new shows but i'm never home when 'normal' tv is on (and if i am, i'm busy).

Peet · « **Reply #5 on:** 29 Apr 2006, 02:09 »

House.

Honestly, what a program.

Trollstormur · « **Reply #6 on:** 29 Apr 2006, 02:49 »

The L Word. I have every episode on my PC right now, but I've watched them all. Waiting for new season currently.

other than that, House is so fucking amazing that when I watch it, my nipples are hard the whole show. (even during commercials)

darkhorizons · « **Reply #7 on:** 29 Apr 2006, 08:25 »

Scruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuubs.

I had never seen the show until march break. My friend and I went on a trip. She had a portable dvd player and over the course of the trip I watched the first four seasons. Now I'm hooked. I can't stop.

jariku · « **Reply #8 on:** 29 Apr 2006, 08:41 »

As I don't own a television, the only TV shows I'm following now (via the intuhr webs) are Lost and Prison Break.

Both are silly at times, but they offer short doses of entertainment when I need one.

MatticusPrime · « **Reply #9 on:** 29 Apr 2006, 10:30 »

My favorites have been mentioned but what the heck. Note that I don't watch a lot of tv. In no particular order:

Good Eats (yes, Alton Brown is the fucking man)
The Daily Show
The Colbert Report
The Venture Bros.

thehoopiestfrood · « **Reply #10 on:** 29 Apr 2006, 14:41 »

Green Wing probably.

Though I could list a lot more.

Tinjessla · « **Reply #11 on:** 29 Apr 2006, 16:18 »

Oh man.

I got into Green Wing when i was back home for Easter but now i'm back at uni, in my 'broken TV' flat, missing its delights. And i left at an exciting bit too (Mac's ex coming back onto the scene). Oh, such Green Wing addict frustration i suffer!

Although, on topic, i'd say Dr Who, My Name Is Earl and Never Mind The Buzzcocks re-runs are my favourite current TV shows. Which i'm missing. Along with Green Wing. Did i mention i was missing that? :p

ashley · « **Reply #13 on:** 29 Apr 2006, 18:38 »

The L Word
Entourage
Weeds
Family Guy

but mostly The L Word.

beat mouse · « **Reply #14 on:** 29 Apr 2006, 18:50 »

Desperate Housewives and Lost. ER if i actually remember to watch it.

Ghostwriter · « **Reply #15 on:** 29 Apr 2006, 19:27 »

Man, I can't really stand much TV. I barely watch it at all. Among the stuff that I appreciate and sometimes watch: good anime on Adult Swim, The Daily Show, and The Mythbusters.

I also love Firefly to pieces, but I guess that doesn't count anymore.

lordjim · « **Reply #16 on:** 01 May 2006, 05:41 »

Mythbusters
The Office (US version)
Family Guy
The War at Home

I <3 basic cable.

nancygirl · « **Reply #17 on:** 01 May 2006, 06:04 »

House, Family Guy, Medium and Rage are probably the only shows I watch regularly. Iron Chef is quite awesome when I remember to watch it. My school schedule means I miss most prime time stuff but I doubt I'm missing out on much.

Phrozen · « **Reply #18 on:** 01 May 2006, 09:50 »

Excluding anime...

My Name is Earl
Mythbusters
Everybody Hates Chris

We don't have cable at my apartment so we just download all the TV shows we want to see.

neomang5 · « **Reply #19 on:** 01 May 2006, 13:41 »

My Name is Earl, House, Mythbusters, South park.

Damn already all covered.

Tons of Fresh Price reruns, but thats because it's ALWAYS ON.

House is such an amazing show. Seriously, and I'm glad that so many people love it. Gives me hope that it will stick around for a bit.

"Oh, you know nuns. Take out their IUD and they bounce right back."

chupones · « **Reply #20 on:** 01 May 2006, 13:44 »

Mythbusters
Daily Show
Colbert Report
Scrubs
Battlestar Galactica
and most of the Adult Swim programming.

darkhorizons · « **Reply #21 on:** 01 May 2006, 14:05 »

BLEEEEEACH.

They need to come out with a new episode soon, or I am going to die.

qtownstegy · « **Reply #22 on:** 01 May 2006, 14:32 »

All have been mentioned (maybe this is to suggest to companies that they're aren't enough good shows out there, or maybe that QC readers watch the same channels at times)

Mythbusters
Daily Show
Colbert Report
Family Guy
Futurama

one that is different, but now canceled
Mystery Science Theater 3000

Ozymandias · « **Reply #23 on:** 01 May 2006, 16:43 »

LOST

(Lost)

Gryff · « **Reply #24 on:** 01 May 2006, 16:43 »

The L Word
Sealab 2021
Aqua Teen Hunger Force
Curb Your Enthusiam

That's about it, although I sometimes catch Grey's Anatomy.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #25 on:** 01 May 2006, 17:16 »

Dr. Who. West Wing.

Hustler · « **Reply #26 on:** 01 May 2006, 19:50 »

My Name is Earl would probably get my vote.

Kai · « **Reply #27 on:** 01 May 2006, 19:54 »

Sealab. That's about all on TV I even watch anymore.

Hat · « **Reply #28 on:** 01 May 2006, 23:23 »

Hizzy and Scrubs. Everything else I watch is on DVD or the inter-nets.

Man, I do not have high hopes for Hizzy. It is a Fox show, it is awesome, and it stars Hugh Laurie. We might as well dig a grave right now, except that season 2 is nearly finished here and that is just creepy.

Jareth · « **Reply #29 on:** 01 May 2006, 23:40 »

Grey's Anatomy. It's one of the few things I actually get to watch as I work most nights aside from Sunday. I could tape the other shows such as Lost and House, but I don't have the time to watch the tapes. Oh, and hockey. I'll always make time for the hockey playoffs.

I Am Not Amused · « **Reply #30 on:** 02 May 2006, 00:38 »

About the only show I watch religiously is Hustle on AMC. It's complete genius.

tomselleck69 · « **Reply #36 on:** 03 May 2006, 00:28 »

foster's home for imaginary friends is the only show that does not bore me to tears.

Joseph · « **Reply #37 on:** 06 May 2006, 22:23 »

The Sopranoes. Very much the best show on TV these days. Really, I don't watch much current TV though, mainly just Seinfeld.

IronOxide · « **Reply #38 on:** 07 May 2006, 05:56 »

Scrubs
Mythbusters
Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends

In that order.

Praeserpium Machinarum · « **Reply #39 on:** 07 May 2006, 07:11 »

There is no such thing as good TV shows on Danish television, and since that is all I have I watch a minimal amount of TV.
I watched 24(not the version in the USA, but the previous one) even though it is mostly harmless, "Well I'll be damned, first they try to cause a meltdown on all our nuclear powerplants and now they have stolen a nuclear warhead? what a novel idea!"
They just started showing Commander in Chief which I think will be decent fun, the premise is interesting anyway.
But we usually get all the stupid serials like Tru Calling, Desperate Housewives, aussie soap operas and a no doubt horrid series called Medium.

Do any of you know Threshold because they are going to air this soon?

lovejunky · « **Reply #40 on:** 07 May 2006, 08:47 »

http://www.hbo.com/thewire/

Best god-damn show on television without a shadow of a doubt. If you liked Homicide: Life on the Street back in the day, you'll like the Wire. Warning, though: to get the most out of it you'll want to watch it right from the first episode of the first season, otherwise it might be hard to figure out what's going on with some of the characters. I can't wait 'til Season 3 starts screening in Australia.

Hat · « **Reply #48 on:** 09 May 2006, 00:03 »

Actually, I keep forgetting now only is Deadwood a current show, but that its still quite young, and showing more and more potential with each season.

So I definatly gotta go Deadwood.

Inlander · « **Reply #49 on:** 09 May 2006, 18:38 »

Also, I forgot to mention that the Wire has "Way Down in the Hole" by Tom Waits as the theme tune (original version in season 2, cover by the Blind Boys of Alabama in season 1).
