    My all time favorite is Whose Line Is It Anyway. I haven't seen it on actual TV in quite a while, though... Thanks, Youtube. :rolleyes:

    Same here. Lost season 5 looks downright awesome. Have you seen the trailers they released? Man, it just reminds me how much I miss that show. And Dollhouse looks interesting, although Fox is placing it on Friday nights, which isn't really a good choice. The graveyard, I think they call that time.

    Yeah, I might have missed a trailer or two, but pretty sure I've seen them all...season 4 was a return to form, and season 5 will only build on that with the elimination of flashbacks and focus on the present. We're so close, there's no way any of us lost fans have an excuse to quit now. Gonna watch the last 2 eps. of season 4 before, tho, to refresh myself. it's been far too long.

    oh and about Dollhouse...in an interview recently Joss said something like, Fox is being run by different people than it was back in the days when Firefly was on, and they are more willing to let a show gather viewers slowly than to just snuff it out like they did with Firefly. I don't trust fox a bit though...heard they're trying to take Watchmen out of theaters now. Sorry, unrelated.

    EDIT: Recently started watching Flight of the Conchords as well...it is brilliant, especially their interactions with their manager. Much funnier if you're also an amateur musician, though.

    I agree. Fox can make some really bad decisions. Unfortunately, several of my shows come on that channel.
    And I'll just have to say that Lost is probably the most incredible show I have ever watched. The depth it has, and the sheer likeability of the characters, it's just so original and pulling and.... Ah, I can't wait for January 21.

    I'm still irritated at the way Fox terminated Alien Nation. Not that they cancelled it, that happens all the time. But the abruptness of it ticked me off. It was very poorly handled.

    Hey, cool someone else who likes Corner Gas. Sienfeld claimed to be a show about nothing. Corner Gas really is a show about nothing. They once had an episode about the new security camera, which turne dout to be a menace and they tore it down in the end anyway.

    I'm unemployed and out of school right now, so I have way too much time on my hands and keep the TV on for background noise even when I'm not watching it. But anyway, the shows that I actually pay attention to:

    Smallville
    House (he is awesome)
    Star Trek DS9
    Two and a Half Men
    Little Mosque on the Prarrie
    Mythbusters (Adam is a perfect example of ADD turned into something good)

    I have loads of shows that I watch - I don't go out much during the week so I sit and watch TV instead ... yea, healthy. Some of my favourites atm are:

    Emmerdale 'cos I'm like 100
    Waterloo Road - a new series has started and I'm syked
    House 'cos Hugh Larie is like, the sex
    Scrubs - enough said
    And I was watching Desperate Housewives until the series finished.

    Now I'm waiting for the new series of Grey's Anatomy to start as Sky have bought it and I only have freeview :(

    Was Dennie the one that died, aye? Cos that made me bawl my eyes out, I felt so sorry for her. I'm only on the series after that, my mate who has Sky says the one after the next one is starting soon, if that makes any sence.

    She didn't turn up at the place where they were, Dexter killed his brother, Deb doesn't know dexter is a killer, rita thinks dexter is a drug addict.
    On the whole though, I'm glad they deviated from the books (with that third book catastrophe, Jeff Lindsay spit on top of his fanbase). The lila arc and character are the best additions to the show. I highly recommend you watch those episodes you missed... They're pretty good. The only thing I wish is that the killer from the second book would make an appearance.

    And the third season is really good too, just finished watching it.

    Pretty short list. I don't have much time to watch TV these days. :(

    NCIS - so freaking unrealistic, but that's what I love about it
    Scrubs
    Las Vegas - when I can catch in the mornings while I'm getting ready for work. Again, totally unrealistic, but still really funny.

    The Vicar of Dibley was hilarious, but then WTTW stopped running it and put that awful Mr. Bean show on in its place. Terrible!
