What's your favorite show? Mine is Wolf's Rain. I'm upset that not only was it only 30 episodes long(even though the final episodes left no questions unanswered) but I can only watch it on dvd because the tv assholes felt that another episode of Family Guy a night at a time when few are awake anyway was a wiser investment than slightly widening their audiences.

Thats because Family Guy is a good show.'

Unlike anything on Cartoon Network in the "Anime" category.

Now I just need my friend to finish watching Series 4 so I can steal it from him. Hurry up, dammit!

Blackadder, Father Ted, Law and Order: SVU (the original just hasn't been the same since Jerry Orbach died), Venture Brothers, Futurama, Paranoia Agent, and Kim Possible.
Yes, most of that is animated, and, yes, I watch a show who's target audience is preteen girls and their middle-aged mothers; I make up for it by watching joyless, black & white foriegn films about the pointlessness of human existence.

it's threds like these that make me almost miss cable.

however, being without cable there just isn't much on........of the current shows, I watch

Gilmore Girls, House, Smallville and Grey's Anatomy.

House and GG are going to be on at the same time when the season starts so it's going to take some creativity to get both of them recorded, but I can handle it.

Smallville has been crap for a few seasons, but my husband still likes it, and I make him watch Grey's Anatomy so it's only fair that I sit through Smallville with him.

I think GG replays every tuesday before the newest epi?

I can't believe no one's mentioned the Colbert Report yet. When I grow up, I want to marry Stephen Colbert and have g4y butt-s3cks with him.

as it sits I am going to DVR gilmore and try to hook up my PC to DVR house, but the problem is my DVR on my computer won't play on my DVD player like my other DVR unless I lock the disc, so I am going to be stuck in the office watching house, unless I can rig my computer to hook up to my TV which I have done before but it was when it was in the same room, I am going to have cables running all over my house to make this work, unless............My laptop is networked to my PC and I can hook it up to my TV and................I am so smart

*sings*

I don't know about actual shows, but I stick mostly to Discovery, the Science Channel, the Documentary Channel, sometimes the History Channel (aka the Hitler Channel), etc.

No one has mentioned The Daily Show yet either...
