Fess up....it's good for the soul.

I won't miss:
CHUCK...no new eps were done after the writers' strike but it was wonderful, funny and loaded with action. If you haven't seen it, catch it when and if there are re-runs. It was renewed.

UGLY BETTY and I don't apologize. Very entertaining and well written with plenty twists and turns.

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES and GREY"S ANATOMY. What can I say, they are still interesting for me.

BSG. Always liked it but find it confusing this season, so I am hoping for a fantastic final episode.

REAPER. It's good and getting better. The characters grow on you...even the devil.

BOSTON LEGAL. Amazing series. It just gets better and quirkier. Some of the FINEST political jabs EVER and David Kelly manages to get these zingers in because it is considered 'entertainment'. My jaw has literally dropped in my lap with some of the legal/political arguments they slip into the trial sequences.

I may watch:

LOST - Loved it and then literally started to hate it the 3rd season. I watch now just to scream at the tv. I don't think the writers knew what they were writing and didn't care. Always new scenes or flashbacks and nothing made any sense. At least this season seems to be better and maybe things are coming together....to something. Argh.

HOUSE - If it's on and I'm home, then I am pleased to watch. Still a good series. I really don't know if I would want a doctor like him. We'd end up in a fist fight.

MEDIUM - I view once in a while. Tends to get on my nerves.

CSI- The one I like the best is the Las Vegas one but I never see it. I usually see the Miami one and the dialogue and stiff acting grates. I rarely catch the NYC one.

I like MONK still and PSYCH but I never remember when they are on.

MOONLIGHT - It's on Friday nights and it's about a vamp. Yawn.... but I will watch.

PUSHING DAISIES - Quirky fun. I simply adore the supporting actors on this show.

BONES - I really liked this show but not so much anymore. Maybe I'll watch the summer re-runs.

I must say that I might rent the dvd's for FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS. Never saw an episode but it is supposed to be good. Anybody watch it?

Some days its not even worth chewing through the restraints.

NORA WROTE:That's because there's no good TV in Canada ;)

I wasn't going to say it, but... ;)

Half the problem is that the networks up here buy US TV shows... so sometimes they are on at odd times, rarely are they one the channels you'd expect, and I can't tell you how often I've seen parts of the shows get pre-empted. :evil:

You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me!

The Office, Scrubs and Smallville. That's about it right now, because I watch them online. I don't have cable or a dish. Yes, that's right.....nothing. I have the internet and netflix....that's about it. My girlfriend's philosophy....but that's a different story altogether. :roll:

Okay I could but it would be a downer.

Matt-oh, do please explain. :lol:

Ramones-does it irk you as much as it does me that Wire in the Blood's "season" is so short? I know they originally showed the eps in 12 one-hour blocks, but then we still only get 6 different stories per season. :cry: I want more, more, more, dammit!

I love lamp.

Battlestar Galactica: I have all 4 seasons (up to what has aired) downloaded onto my PC. I've watched the pre-series movies and the first few eps of S1. I like it, just can't always find time to watch it.

I think that's everything, but knowing me, I probably forgot something.

No talking of last nights ep! My power went out halfway through the ep, so I'm going to go see if the CW site has it so I can watch it, then we'll talk!

Okay, so it's not up on the site yet, which means I'll be checking back everyday until it's up or until I get my PC back so I can download it. Whichever occurs first, is when I'll be watching the ep. Hopefully the site happens first 'cause I won't be getting my PC back 'til Sunday at the earliest.

Yes it chaps my flabby white ass.... I want more and it is such a great show. I wish they made more quality like that.

I will preface this with I only have one or two that I still watch via TV, the rest have now become miracles of the internet (or I'd be so far behind I should archive my computer & go back to the stone age).

Try not to miss/actually have an active interest in
NCIS
Bones
Dexter
Pushing Daisies

I'm sure there are more but the football of states is on (called State of Origin & it's rugby league code fyi) & it's annoying the hell out of me (the boys are all watching & I'm in the next room *sigh* :roll: ).

Am politely enduring & don't mind it too much
Dr Who
Torchwood
Tin Man (okay, that was a mini series but ce la vie)
Robin Hood (sorry Ramones, I'm yet to watch it...it's way down the list)
IT Crowd

Know I've got to endure for the sake of sanity (ie others in the house ie teens and/or males)
Lost
Any of the Terry Pratchett series being made

Eagerly awaiting
Dollhouse ;)

I think it's funny for us we get such a mix of US & UK shows always entertaining to cross the series. The US ones tend to get a huge hiatus mid season run. The UK ones are done as a) short TV movies or b)full seasons & linked by genre.

I also believe all British deaths now must occur in Midsomer..............

I can't think of anything else. :mrgreen:
