These are just random ones I can think of, If you know any better ones, please post.

Right now it's Lost. I watched an episode of Heroes last night; it was ok, but it flicks between different characters' stories too much. It started to get annoying before the end of the episode, so I don't think I'll be watching much more of it.

Out of all the shows there, Family Guy and the Simpsons are the only ones I don't intensely hate.


EDIT: And Monty Python.

Of the ones you have listed, probably Scrubs. Of all shows? Lost. I'm a bit obsessed with it actually.

Top Gear. Or anything by David Attenborough.

No South Park? YOU MUST DIE!

Not so sure on the purpose of the poll, but whatever.

My favorites are as follows.

Mythbusters
Dirty Jobs
Aqua Teen Hunger Force
Star Trek (All)
CSI
National Geographic Explorer

Yeah, I'm a frickin' nerd. Whatcha gonna do about it? :p

I wouldn't go as far as saying I'm obsessed...but it really is the best thing on tv at the moment. Even though I'm in the UK and I don't have Sky. So I download each episode the day after it's shown in the US. But I'm not obsessed.

Top Gear.
*beats self*

Totally forgot about that. Best show on terrestrial tv right now. Watching James May attempt to start up a tractor was the funniest thing on tv since...erm...him and Hammond launched a Robin Reliant on the back of a rocket. :D

select the category you fav comes in and just Note that it is a different one. I just chose random TV shows so I am sorry if they are not everyones favourites mine out of those are:

Scrubs
Family guy
Heroes
Monty Python

and I hate

American Idol

From the listed it's going to be Heroes

Others include Avatar: the Last Airbender, Bleach, Blood Ties, Lost, Naruto, Smallville, Supernatural, The Dresden Files

:D That was fantastic. It was really disappointing that it didn't work.

I also love the aqua-cars, and the time they got stoned in Alabama was genuinely nerve-racking.

What are you talking about? That explosion was awesome! I swear that's what they were hoping for.

Yeah, the aqua-cars were great. Clarkson capsizing his literally metres from the finish line - :D

Most of those shows suck.

Election night coverage.

Any election.

That's my fave.

Red Dwarf
Blackadder
Bottom
The Young Ones

no ones mentioned stewart/colbert???

Weather Channel > All


:p

Heroes
American Idol (I do Know of Pop Idol, is this the US rip off?)
Chapelles show
Family guy

I know nothing of these television shows.....


I like watching good stuff, but it is harder and harder to find these days. I like some documentaries, some comedies (esp. Brit com) and some stuff like Top Gear and Trial and Retribution (I love a good murder)

I'm a huge fan of CSI, other criminal investigation shows, and murder mysteries.

But I watch so much TV that it's a little hard to pinpoint my highlights of the week. http://www.studip.uni-goettingen.de/pictures/smile/eek4.gif

Apart from that, documentaries of all kind are my favorite when it comes to "serious" TV shows. Be it history or science or nature, or whatever else there might be. :D

Battlestar Galactica.

top gear is probably my favourite although i voted for monty python and i watched the simpsons all the time before sky decided to get greedy(er) and pulled their channels.

Battlestar Galactica.

and Stargate, about the only things I ever watch on Television anymore.

Used to be a big star trek fan but the last one (Enterprise) was damn Lame.

Top Gear is easily the best thing on TV.

Pretty much all shows on TV suck right now except for House. Even Family Guy is completely uninspired.

The problem with House is that every episode is pretty much the same.

And Hugh Laurie's accent.

And Hugh Laurie's accent.

It's formulatic, yes, but it makes for some good guesses.

And frankly, I can hardly picture the same man who plays grumpy, arrogant, assholish House speaking with a British accent.

On the cartoon side, Futurama by far, then The Griffins, The Simpsons and Inuyasha.

Series: Sliders and ST Voyager (no Red Dwarf here, what the smeg).

Most random poll choices ever.

I love Invader Zim, but it's not on anymore, or at least there aren't any new episodes.

So, I guess my favorite show that's on right now is Lost. I like 30 Rock, too.

on the poll, Scrubs. but other than that i love 24 and Frasier the most atm :)

Mythbusters.

The problem with House is that every episode is pretty much the same.

And Hugh Laurie's accent.

the first season his accent was rubbish but i think the second and third he's got it fairly well. i'm crap at recognising accents though so i'm hardly one to judge.

Mythbusters.

oh yeah, and that!

Doctor Who, Top Gear, BSG, Dark Season (although it hasn't been on TV for like 10 years+ and they only ever made 6 episodes, but I just bought it on DVD and watched them through. It's still as great as I remember!), Red Dwarf, Futurama, Family Guy.
Actully, a whole lot. I like TV!:D

Mythbusters.

that and Top Gear

ooo, i forgot arrested development. never saw it on tv but it is great.

Arrested Development, the Office (british version), Sex and the City, Millenium.

Veronica Mars, Monk, Psych, and the Closer > all other crime shows.

Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, The Daily Show, Law and Order, and...uh...
X-Play. :p

Someone else watches X-Play? :eek:

I can't help it. Must...watch...snarky...tv... :eek:

I watch it for the reviews. I can't stand the hosts, especially Morgan Webb.

Of the one's you mentioned, family guy. Overall though its 24. Thats an awesome show. On the other end of the spectrum, pop idol/American idol and any other show like it are teh epic fail.

Transformers.

I love Invader Zim, but it's not on anymore, or at least there aren't any new episodes.
Invader Zim is a really good show.

But for my money, the best show on TV right now is The Wire. Fantastic actors, superb scripting and the only police show which doesn't resort to simple good vs. evil morality.

It's ostensibly about a special task force of the Baltimore police force, an amalgamation of personel from the Narcotics and Homicide divisions, set up to tackle high-ranking members of Baltimore's drug underworld. But unlike any other cop show, this case doesn't end at the close of the first episode. It's a pocedural show, written by an ex-Baltmore cop., so we see the real grind of work the police do; all the beuracrac, internal politics and general BS that everyone, from the bobby on the beat, up to the head of the police dept., have to deal with.

Moreover, we also see the other side of the equation; the wheeling and dealing of the drug trade, from the junkies on the street, up to the politicians getting campaign money from dubious sources. There are no true goodies and baddies, just as in life, and the show stars old and current Baltimore police and those involved with the drug trade.

For the love of all that is good and holy, if you haven't seen The Wire, please do so. Any fan of sterling TV drama (Sopranos, Deadwood, etc.) will love the show.

Enough gushing?

Agreed. Her voice really gets on my nerves, although Adam looks almost exactly like my brother-in-law, which is creepy in and of itself.

Everything about her gets on my nerves -- the voice, the "I'm hot" (and she's not even close) attitude, all of it. Adam mostly irritates me because he's round-shouldered (I'm petty like that :p ). FFS, posture! Stand up straight, man!

Black Books.

Black Books.

good call, how did i forget that? and i was only watching it the other day.

Everybody forgets it. Its just as good as most British sitcoms, but is seemingly always forgotten.

Really? I've always thought it was an extremely popular show. More popular than Graham Linehan's recent effort, The IT Crowd, which IMO is one damn funny show.

Though anything with Chris Morris will probably make me laugh.

Lost is certainly good. And House. And Battlestar Galactica. And I am awaiting for The Shield to start again, Vic Mackey getting revenge for Lemonhead's killing is going to be sweet!

Oooh, forgot about The Shield!!

My dad's favorite expression: "I'm gonna go Vic Mackey on your ass."

Scrubs is great, but after only three episodes I'm hooked on "The Riches".

Don't get me started on how much I hate Scrubs, but The Riches is awesome. I hafta say, if it weren't for Jericho, I'd be calling The Riches the best new show this season.

The Simpsons is the best thing that has happend to TV ever. It's smart and funny. To bad it seems to be loosing it's touch in the later years but overall, the Simpsons is the best show ever. Family Guy is funny to but it doesn't come close to the simpsons.

Seinfeld hands down

Right now I am loving the Man vs Wild reruns. It will be nice when Survivorman returns too.

I am also looking forward to The Shield too. Its the only episodic show I have ever got into.

Enough gushing?Other than that teacher dude, I can't figure out why anybody would care about any of the characters.
I've only seen 2 or 3 episodes, but still, you'd think with such a huge cast more than one character would be likable.

Kath & Kim. Extras is good too.

Alright! People on NS obviously have taste! :)

Not all of us, it seems...

Seinfeld hands down

:p

CSI Miami definately.

Dads Army , Last of the Summer Wine, Question Time and Keeping up Apperances ohh and NCIS

Not all of us, it seems...

Okay, some people on NS have taste. :p

The Simpsons

hugh lauries accent is spot on. i had no clue that it wasnt his natural accent until someone told me he's british

and now that i have heard his real accent i find him incredibly sexy. lol.

battlestar galactica

heros

If you watch him in Blackadder, it'll probably change your mind. ;)

"Mr. Blackthickyadderthickynotmeantforcrapbutlertoffeeweed!" (or something like that).

Er
Out of the list it would be Scrubs.

I love the Simpsons and Family Guy though..

House, Stargate, Arrested development, Simpsons, Family Guy, Daily Show, Colbert Repor, hmmm... what else?
Doctor Who, the office... Think that's about it.

Incidentally, this:
American Idol (or reality shows) 0 0%
Chapelles show (or stand up comedy) 0 0%
Is what I like to see :D
