Favorite TV shows

I was looking through the posts to add on to my netflix queue (else I'd have to cancel, since there're no shows I couldn't think of any shows to watch, offhand!)

 

I realised BBFers seem to like 24, Alias, Simpsons, Gilmore Girls, Battlestar, Lost.

 

I was pleasantly surprised nobody mentioned Friends. But nobody else likes Frasier? I'm crushed! Frasier's the best! In fact, read the transcripts here.

Wow. Frasier's only flaw is that nobody there plays bridge!

A new favorite show: Ugly Betty

 

It's so campy yet sentimental and real. If you want to watch the latest episode, I believe that it's being show on abc.com. If you can't watch on your computer, a synopsis is at www.televisionwithoutpity.com which is a great website in general to read about/discuss tv.

Oh yes, Heroes! That is a really good new show, too. There's finally something on Mondays that I'm interested in seeing.

 

And some returning shows that are coming on strong: Battlestar Galactica and Veronica Mars.

Heros is pretty good, and the new season of Battlesttar, The Office, and Veronica Mars seem up to form. I'm also watching a very silly show called "How I met Your Mother". The, of course, there's my Cartoon Network staples:

 

The Venture Brothers

Sealab 2021

Naruto

The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy

 

I like Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, however, it looks like it might be headed for an ignoble end.

Well..., I don't turn on the TV except to watch movies. I tried watching Seinfield and Friends a couple of times, but soon lost interest.

 

I did like a few series that I watched on DVD though:

 

The Kingdom I & II (aka Riget -- Danish mini-series)

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (BBC -- the one w/ Jeremy Brett)

Twin Peaks

The Singing Detective (BBC)

The Prisoner

The Soporanos

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Hee, that's one show I'd say "good riddance" to. I sometimes end up seeing the first five minutes or so, and it really annoys me. It's one of those shows that I can't stand to watch, and would have to leave the room when it's on. Luckily there are very few of those shows. :P

I only watch my shows on DVD, but I've discovered a couple of great additions to my previous favourites.

 

BBC's yes minister and yes prime minister (why only 2 seasons? arghhh!!!!)

 

Agatha Cristie's Poirot, starring David suchet's

 

Love them!

Thanks for the reminder -- I was trying to recall the names and love both of them too. I especially like the title theme music of Poirot.

 

David Suchet's Poirot and Jeremy Brett's Holmes must be one of finest characterizations of fictional characters on the small screen...

I agree strongly the David Suchet's Poirot is wonderful. I think there are some books on him too. :P

 

Is hero really worth a look?

studio 60 seems ok but do they have to take themselves so seriously? :)

BG is pretty good again tonight and the new year of Dr. Who is a hoot.

Ugly Betty is growing on me, I am not sure why but I did like the movie. :)

I like NCIS and its sense of humor.

 

I am enjoying watching the old Secret agent shows (Danger Man in the UK) see him before the Prisoner and I love watching the old Avengers on DVD.
