    Just finshed watching The Wire, which was awesome. Currently watching The Shield which I'm finding very enjoyable.

    Must get around to watching 24 and The Sopranos at some point as I've heard good reviews.

    I can't believe people have chosen CSI Miami over Vegas! I looove CSI Vegas.
    && Gossip Girl & Without A Trace, & the hubbys got me into The Unit lately. Anyone else seen that?

    Grey's Anatomy is an excellent series, and last night's episode (I Saw What I Saw) really blew me away.

    If you dismiss this series as a "chick show", you're missing out.

    "We're.....we're crumping."
    "No you're not. HIT IT!" :D

    Yes, but CSI Vegas doesn't have...... (SUNGLASSES) Horatio Caine.

    Just finished watching that! This episode really blew me away, too. All the conflicting points of view, plus all the tension between Mercy West and Seattle Grace doctors...... :p This show is so dramatic you can't help but love it. Private Practice is good, too.

    I don't watch too much TV, I'd match rather be playing video games when I'm in front of the TV. Most of the shows I watch these days are on Youtube or BlipTV
    But on regular networks the shows that win me over are,

    South Park, the new season is pure gold, Trey Parker is freaking brilliant!

    Futurama, a really creative and funny show. The new movies they are cranking out are comedy masterpieces!

    The first few seasons of 24 were pretty intense, now they've made their own original ideas into cliches. 24: Redemption was awesome, but the latest season seems even worse than the last one!

    Easily Dexter....

    I don't watch any shows seeing as I don't have a television and most don't engage me, but Dexter is definitely brilliant. I watch every new episode weekly online, plus I have all of the season dvd's to watch on my lil' portable dvd player.

    Hey, didn't I make a thread just like this aeons ago? haha The torch has been passed. New shows for me this season are Flashforward (which is intriguing) and House, which I cannot believe I never got into.

    This week's episode of Dexter is a perfect example of why it's my favourite show. The sequence of scenes at the Mitchell house is the best I've seen this year, maybe ever on a television show. It's been a long time since the show's been so disturbing. The last five minutes were pretty amazing as well.

    My mom has recently gotten me into Criminal Minds and Medium, and they are both so incredibly addictive. Thanks mom! :D

    I used to enjoy "Miami" a great deal, until I started noticing that it had its own set of cliches that seemed to permeate the show. The other renditions have that, to be sure, but I do not see them as the "lynch pin" of the show as they seem to be in "Miami".

    I find CSI entertaining, but I thought Miami was god awful. I watched several episodes and I pointed out so many discrepancies I couldn't take it seriously.

    I'm rather curious to know if 24 can back after spewing out crap for 3 seasons in a row. I though 24: Redemption was gold, how did they screw up the rest of the season after such a brilliant prologue? 24 went from shocking and unpredictable to a signature cliche fest. The plots themselves got more believable, but how did Jack become so cliche? He doesn't even seem desperate anymore, he just stabbing people nonchalantly for the smallest bits of info. I used to be such a big fan.

    Yeah CSI Miami is appalling, sorry Gigi. I enjoy House, and the new season (especially the two hour opener) is incredible.

    I don't really watch TV that much, but when I do I enjoy: Twin Peaks, QI, Scrubs, Friends, Family Guy, (though I suspect this is only because of Brian, who my friends always say I am like) Flight of the Concords, Peep Show, Black Books, Mock the Week and Have I Got News for You.

    I used to like Room 101 too.

    Well, I guess you people....... (SUNGLASSES) don't know good television.


    (YYYYYEEEEEAAAAHHH!!)


    Haha, I'm just kidding. I couldn't resist. :D

    Lately I have become interested in Mercy on NBC. I am a sucker for NBC shows. That's my network!! :D

    Mercy is really good. And it's back tonight with a new epi

    But Horatio and his shades? If he thinks he's profound <removes his own shades, and looks into the camera> he has yet to see the light.

    My favorite shows:
    Grey's Anatomy
    Bones
    NCIS
    NCIS: Los Angeles
    Criminal Minds
    Eureka
    Warehouse 13
    Supernatural

    I honestly watch reruns and dvd seasons as much as live tv. The old shows are still my favs!
