I'm with you totally on NCIS. I can't get enough of that show. Also Law and Order-Criminal Intent, and all of the CSI offshoots.

Yeah, Law And Order is still a good show.

I used to watch the original Law and Order and CSI but the deluge of cop/lawyer shows on Australian TV turned me off.

I still watch Lost though I am getting increasingly bored with it. I think I only watch it because my wife does.

Supernatural still has me, though I can see it going the same way that the X-Files went and becoming a convoluted mess that is frustrating to watch.

The two shows that I hate to miss are House and Top Gear. I'm pre-disposed to liking Top Gear as it's the only well made show about cars that I have seen. I'm still mildly surprised that I like House so much because I generally despise medical dramas.

I try to avoid reality TV as much as possible but my wife likes The Biggest Loser and Dancing with the Stars so I have to suffer through it from time-to-time.

Dragon's Den, M*A*S*H and Ralio are fab. Those three are my faves, in that order.

Our house is a reality TV free zone.

and my new comic fave;
Third Rock

Are they making new episodes? Here they are running 2nd reruns of the old ones.

My fave; Mythbusters. Yes, I'm a geek and I think Kari Byron (the one on the right) is HOT:

Mythbusters is good. I like Weaponology too (on Military Channel). I'll watch just about anything on the History Channel too.

man, I knew I would be called on that one. I made a typo, it should be "Thirty Rock", it just stated this year - but yes, Third Rock from the Sun is one of my all time favories. It's not on reruns that I know of but it's a classic.

And yes Eki, I've know you're a geek, Oily told me so and also yes, you have god taste, that skeleton looks goooood. :p :

. . . . . and Kari Byron looks good too. ;)

Gaah, the two shows i actually wait for, House and the Wire have gone or are going on a break.
That leaves OZ reruns, Deadwood and yes, Kari from Mythbusters. :) (never thought about saying that about a Kari :uhoh: )

I'm also out of Seinfed episodes, i used to watch one episode per day, but they haven't been published past season 7.

I'll watch NCIS, but it's really a poor man's JAG.

Me too, but I noticed that even the History Channel has begun airing reruns of CSI. Cripes that show is now aired on about a half-dozen channels. I mean, c'mon. There's only so much CSI that I can take :mark:

Third Rock was on here tonight and I actually made an effort to see it, so count me in on that one.

Avidly watch
Midsommer Murders (don't judge me, it's good stuff)
Columbo (never get bored of him)
The Simpsons
My Name is Earl.

Sometimes watch
Friends.
Game shows like Countdown, Weakest Link, etc.

Lost all interest in ....
NCIS (second series now showing and it's gone right down hill)
CSI (how many plot mistakes? :eek: )
Lost.

Don't watch any reality shows or soaps at all.

Never got the chance to see, but would like to ....
Boston Legal.
Most of The West Wing.

Miss
NYPD Blue :(

I'll have to check and see if they air "Dragon's Den" in this part of the world.

I just hope it actually has dragons, I like dragons. :)

Hazell B
1st March 2007, 23:57
They're almost dragons ;)

It's on BBC2 here, so maybe on one of the internet replay things they offer? A vague idea of it's content will be on the BBC website.

Yeah, Law And Order is still a good show.


Law and Order - Criminal Intent has an atmosphere and style all of its own, and Vincent D'Onofrio is a compelling performer.

There is an All-Star edition of Amazing Race ?? :eek:

Yep, it's happening right now.
I will watch the final shows - that is, if Boston Rob and his wife from Survivor fame are still in it.


so sue me! :mad:

* as a matter of fact, watching Survivor and the best parts of Amazing Race are shows that my wife and I actually watch together - the rest of our TV faves we each watch at our own opportunity -*Thanks to that amazing digital TV recording box.
(and our working schedules)

I used to love it, but stopped watching when Archie died.

If you want sad Emmerdale facts, how about this....
When filming at the old site, the cast used to use the Red Lion in Wetherby for pool matches at lunchtime then film in the afternoon half sozzled :p :
I used to go riding with Frazer Hines as he lived near me.
Cy Chadwick and the guy who played Archie (sorry, I forget his name) had motorcycles and we went to the White Horse at Thirsk with them once after meeting at a milk bar. They were both damned fast but didn't mind waiting for my slower machine :D
My childhood next door neighbour used to play a vet in the show. Her husband was it's producer from the start.
