Television Shows we Watch

I have in the past, but its not high on my list. I enjoy it, its more of a "when nothing else is on" show for me.

I'm in love with Glee! Oh my goodness, that show is good. I'm very glad the musical theatre kids ran my school.

A Wonderful Obsession · Old Reg

Haven't actually seen it.

My tv experience comes mostly from Hulu. I adore 30 Rock, Psych, and Monk.

I LOVE GLEE. I wish our show choir was that cool.

Let's see, I also watch the office (american and british version), skins when I'm in the UK.

I'm kind of a sucker for reality tv. I like so you think you can dance and Canadian Idol

Starlene · Veteran Member

I watch nothing. Seriously. I might stare at something for a while if mum is watching tv and I wander into the living room, but there's no tv show I'd make sure to see every week. I used to watch Project Runaway, but now it's on during my art class, so I can't watch it anymore - I never watch anything I've recorded, so I won't bother trying that...

A Wonderful Obsession · Old Reg

If you ever find yourself really bored, you might want to check out Hulu.

So 'White Collar' premiered last night on USA. I love it! And 'Monk' is in it's final season.

"That's the army. We don't ask and don't care." XD
"I think it's cute." "I think it's adorable." "I'm sending you back to prison."
"It only took you a month and a half to escape from the supermax."

Mariphaba · Madame Maribel

AWO, we can't get Hulu in Canada. Or anywhere outside the USA i think...

A Wonderful Obsession · Old Reg

Really?

I checked and you are right. That stinks.

Mariphaba · Madame Maribel

yeah, I don't really understand. I guess it has to do with copyright laws or something but it just seems silly.

Elphabatobe · Veteran Member

Its the advertising revenue. I don't know why, but I remember something about that when it came out. Depending on the show, in Canada you can watch on CTV or Global, which umbrella pretty much any other channel on TV here.

Elphabatobe · Veteran Member

Oh and I meant the CTV and Global websites. Reading that over, I realized I missed that.

I loved Canadian TV when I was young in Washington. Red Green is fun.

Elphabatobe · Veteran Member

I miss the good Canadian sketch comedy. No ones does it better in my opinion. SCTV, Kids in the Hall, Air Farce, Red Green. All so unique in their subject matter, but all well done.

A Wonderful Obsession · Old Reg

Possibly the British do it better, but they are closely related. Canada was the good child who obeyed his parent and did his schoolwork. America was the bad child who ignored his parent and smoked in the bathroom. There's a black sheep in every family.

Mariphaba · Madame Maribel

Hahaha i'm loving that analogy.
I haven't been in Canada long enough to really appreciate Canadian TV yet. But I think the brits are the ones that do really have it down. I miss all my BBC shows.

A Wonderful Obsession · Old Reg

The BBC would like to apologize for the constant repetition in this show... the BBC would like to apologize for the constant repetition in this show...

Monty Python is still the absolute best in comedy.

Elphabatobe · Veteran Member

Oh I totally forgot about Monty Python. Yeah, never mind, I agree!

Anyone an NCIS fan. I'm kinda loving how it became so popular all of a sudden. I've been watching it since the beginning and I got my friends hooked on it in high school. Its so good.

A Wonderful Obsession · Old Reg

Nah. I never got hooked. The writing never sucked me in. It seems like the case is just incidentally happening while everyone chats rather than the opposite of that. And it also confused me that they have music playing during dialogue.

I'm a Law and Order fan. Not CI mind you, because I think it has less talented actors and the layout isn't Law and Order. But the original with Sam Waterston and Jerry Orbach, perfect.

Elphabatobe · Veteran Member

I pretty much just watch it for the characters. They're just different then other characters on tv.

I like Law and Order. SVU is my favorite, but the original is pretty good. CI is just terrible though. I find it disjointed and awkward.

A Wonderful Obsession · Old Reg

Amen to that.

I'm really fond of Psych for characters.

Elphabatobe · Veteran Member

I've only seen a couple episodes of psych, but it seems like good, well written show. Its hard though, because its on USA(?) it usually get played my a main network in the summer, when I'm not home.

Critter · Old Reg

All the shows I consider my favourite both old and new.

- Buffy the Vampire Slayer
- Firefly
- Skins
- Scrubs

- The IT Crowd
- Alias
- Arrested Development
- The Simpsons (Season 1-10)
- Futurama
- South Park
- Tru Calling
- Naruto
- Pokemon
- Many MANY other anime series.

A Wonderful Obsession · Old Reg

Firefly was awesome!

Unfortunately they lost the feel and killed off everyone in that darn movie. That sunk any hopes of resurrecting the series.

Critter · Old Reg

They only killed one character didn't they? And the already knew the series would not be continued when they made the film. So in that way the film was to just finalise a lot of things.
