yea House! it's a great show and i'm not into that type of show either. maybe it's dr. house and how irreverant he is. and smart. and cute in his own way. i've never liked anyone telling me what to do so the fact that he is able to get away with doing that strikes a cord.
gilmore girls is another 'do not miss'.

People keep talking about House. I have never heard of it before.
What's the plot?

Yes, House, too. My list of five is up to nine, I think.Lar

house is about a doctor (dr house) who works with three (ok two for the time being) interns? or whatever they are. he (and his team) solve medical illnesses that 'no one else' can solve. so someone comes into the hospital/clinic with a problem and they work thru options for what it could be...usually almost knocking off the patient while trying different medications.
it's hard to put into words the rather irreverant attitude that dr house has. let me know if you watch it and what you think.

Home movies is hilarious, I love it but I never look on the TV schedule and never know when it's on. When's it on?

Hyacinth Bucket? Keeping Up Appearances. I've seen almost every episode at least three times. British comedy is lovely, and so is British drama.

Can't believe I'd forgotten our Hyacinth. Sadly hasn't been on down under in years. I've often wondered what an "indoor outdoor BBQ with finger food" would be like.

Plus it stars Hugh Laurie, British actor (anyone remember Jeeves and Wooster?) who does an AMAZING American accent. The guy is incredible. He says when he gets tired he starts to sound like a Frenchman.
And it's a great show.

My husband loves that show (along with OC choppers!).. UGH.
I stay away from those shows. LOL. I just let him tell me which myths are myths and which myths are real the next morning.
He gets pretty excited over that show.
Anyone here want to confess to watching MTV's Punk'd??***becuase I sure don't ever watch it, especially the last episode with Nicole Ritchie.. Nope.. never**

just watched the second installment last nite. Interesting premise, which i'm not sure how much one can talk about here. It's basically a mystery? a nun searches for jesus with the assumption that he is living amoung us. Perhaps a take-off on The Da Vinci Code?

One of my favourites, when I do watch TV and I'm lucky enough to catch him, is the Dave Nye the Science Guy. And the nice thing about that is the kids can watch it too. At certain times, I love shows about nature, the ocean, the climate, people in different cultures (those are fascinating, oh yes), history, biography, it always depends on other factors. I really would have to say I was lying when I have a favourite. I really don't.

oohh, I like Mythbusters, too! I enjoy watching their antics (although I cringe at their "safety awareness" sometimes....)

But I will say it looks pretty odd on my shelf of purchased DVD's next to one of my other favorites - Sex and the City.
;P

I find it to be theologically sound (by my understanding of theology) to a degree that I don't even find in church.
I've started to cry at the end of them, which is a good sign I think. I lost my ability to cry at TV for soooo long.
Maybe next I'll regain my joy in music.
But it does look funny next to Sex and the City. So I make sure they're always side to side. Naughty and sickly sweet. They're all parts of me, illustrated by my DVD cabinet. Right there besides Quantum Leap (which reminds me I can be sexual), Hogan's Heroes (ditto), The Monkees (Davy was dreamy, Micky is dreamy lol), Charmed (which makes me stir uneasily remembering my mother and Ouji boards), Monk, Nero Wolfe, Seinfeld, Everybody Loves Raymond (my family except that I'm Ray and my husband is Debra), Barney Miller (release the seasons with Dietrich you fools), Bob Newhart, MASH, and of course the original Star Trek (which has shaped my ideals of management and leadership). My husband's got Fawlty Towers, Blackadder, Thin Blue Line, and some shows I don't really care overmuch for. My son keeps the Spongebob Squarepants and Rugrats tapes. But I took over his Thomas the Tank Engine when he outgrew them. I'd have X Files too, even though I don't understand them, except I can't afford them. I do have "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" my all time favorite episode on a less expensive VHS tape. And would that they would release The Wonder Years, Get Smart, The Associates, and Jim Hutton's Ellery Queen in their entirety. Oh and the Luke and Laura early adventures. (blush)
We even named our son after three characters with the same first name. But I can't tell you which three. :(
Ok. I admit it. I'm a TV junkie. Not a passive viewer by any means. TV makes me think. It's a participatory experience for me. But I confess I don't understand today's TV with its emphasis on reality shows. I feel sort of icky, like a voyeur when I chance across those programs. But I'm sure there's a reason for their popularity that I just can't see.

>> Quantum Leap (which reminds me I can be sexual),
Ah, have I perhaps discovered a kindred spirit who fancies the many lovely attributes of Scott Bakula?
Mmmm... (Gosh, it's been ages...did I spell his name right?)
I don't dare take a guess on the possible reminder of being sexual in Hogan's Heroes...so many men...hmmm...do tell!
But, I'll have you know, I am singing the theme song in my head over and over and can't stop! Thanks for the memory!
I adored Touched BAA. (oh dear, my acronym makes it look like a barnyard tale) Never watched an episode where I didn't at least choke up, if not cry. Feels good to cry over TV shows mostly, I think. Kind of a catharsis and it doesn't linger on once it's over, like some IRL stuff, or stupid, upsetting T.-stuff does.

Oh my yes. Those crinkly eyes. Sam Beckett's integrity. And that nice firm... well, I'm sure you remember. He's never been quite as attractive to me in any other role, I fear.
Bob Crane was my first truly sexualized crush. I got to kiss him IRL you know. Sigh... I'm a real sucker for crinkly eyes. Good thing my husband has them.
And yes, it does feel good to cry at a TV show. Many years went by when I wasn't able to cry when all the Whos down in Whoville joined hands to start singing. Now that is close to a crime, not to cry at that. :)
