As in, you watch them every time they're on and you're home. Personally, I watch a lot of "Mythbusters" (new episode tonight!). I also watch "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?" when I want to feel better about myself.

So, what's on your TVs, NSG?

Mythbusters, Stargate Atlantis, Heroes.

Mythbusters, Stargate Atlantis, Heroes.

You I like. You have very good taste. :cool:

You have very good taste. :cool:
You guys have seen Heroes, yeah? :p

I prefer shows with actual plots and character, rather than poorly written X-Men rip-offs.

Give me an episode or three of The Wire any day.

Obsessively only goes to The Simpsons

Obsessively only goes to The Simpsons

yeh, i miss having Sky One, used to love their back to back Simpsons episodes.

i don't have a tv anymore but there are several shows where if i download one episode i then get hooked and have to download the rest in quick order. latest was Black Books, before that Arrested Development, before that Firefly, before that probably Family Guy.

...before that Arrested Development...
Fuck yeah!

I watched all three seasons in about four days last summer. :p

Mythbusters, Top Gear, Collectors (not seen outside Australia)

I wish I was watching arrested development obsesively...

At the moment I am watching Law and Order, Monk and scrubs. Sadly I have already seen all of the Seinfelds.

None.

I like to catch Man vs Wild and Survivorman every once and a while.

battlestar galactica.
That too.

I'm currently re-watching season 3 as we speak.

American Gladiators
Isn't that presented by Hulk Hogan?

That looks hilarious.

American Gladiators

lost and battlestar galactica.

Isn't that presented by Hulk Hogan?

That looks hilarious.

Yes, and it is. They managed to keep most of, if not all of, the 80's camp from the original.

I haven't watched a TV show obsessively since, hell, Full Metal Alchemist was on Adult Swim almost 4 years ago. We don't have cable, so about the only thing worth watching are game shows, which is so very sad.

LOST, The Sopranos, Shameless, Mighty Boosh

Family Guy, Futurama, Robot Chicken.
Basically anything that comes on Adult Swim. ;)
Although I heard they moved Futurama from AS to Comedy Central :(.

Ninja Warrior...... fantastically epic contest.

Not a lot, mainly news and sometimes if a good movie is on or an interesting documentary.

None, I don't really watch tv a lot when I'm at home, only the occasional programme or film that interests me. I visit some websites obsessively, though.

Law and Order, The Office, The Mighty Boosh, Coupling

Obsessively only goes to The Simpsons

Another Simpsonite. I think I have learned more from years of watching that show than everything I was taught in school.
I also enjoy Jeopardy, although it's not something I generally sit down to watch.

Mythbusters, CSI, Robot Chicken, Simpsons, Corner Gas

Mythbusters, King of the Hill, Simpsons, And The Sarah Connor Cronicles.

South Park
The Daily Show
The Colbert Report
Late Night with Conan O'Brian


I used to religiously watch The Simpsons, but now since mostly they show crappy newer episodes, whenever I want to watch them I go for my Season DVD collection

I don't bother trying to catch shows on tv...I just download them or stream them. As for obsessive...right now I'm on a House kick. He's exactly the kind of asshole I love.

Although I heard they moved Futurama from AS to Comedy Central :(.

True. That happened at the beginning of the month.

Project Runway! OMG! it's on right now!

*crushes on Christian*

also grey's anatomy...more last season than this, actually season before last...........

Family Guy, Futurama, Robot Chicken.
Basically anything that comes on Adult Swim. ;)
Although I heard they moved Futurama from AS to Comedy Central :(.

Adult Swim! I like pretty much everything ever shown on Adult Swim. I used to watch the History Channel all the time, too. They managed to make a documentary on bricks interesting.

That's right. Bricks.

:headbang::D

I don’t bother trying to catch shows on tv...I just download them or stream them.
And the best thing is you watch far less dross.

As for obsessive...right now I’m on a House kick. He’s exactly the kind of asshole I love.
I’ve never quite got House.

Perhaps because I’ve always seen Hugh Laurie in a rather different light (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkYwItNWsQg&feature=related)...

CSI (the original)

It is the only show I make sure to watch..when I have the opportunity to not be at work at the same time.

None. I don't watch television.

None. I don't watch television.

Do you have a television?

House.

Do you have a television?

Yes. But I never use it.

Yes. But I never use it.

Never as in never? Do you watch films? Go to the theatre?

Apart from soccer I don't watch that much TV, simply because there aren't a lot of shows I like. I watched Screenwipe when it was on, I watch the Daily Show, I watched Studio 60 and Flight of the Conchords. Oh, and Extras. Further back, I loved the West Wing and would watch that religously.

Family guy, the daily show, 24 and tell me you love me(when it was on)

Never as in never?

Yes.

Do you watch films?

Not with my television.

Go to the theatre?

Yes. I'm not totally culturally isolated. :)

House, Boston Legal, and Lost are probably the ones I watch most obsessively. I also make definite efforts to catch Heroes, Pushing Daisies, Grey's Anatomy, and Desperate Housewives when I can. (Of those, Pushing Daisies is the only one I think of as a truly good show...but the other three are addictive in their own interesting/soaptastic/campy ways. :p )

I would watch the Daily Show and the Colbert Report obsessively if I had cable or a halfway decent internet connection, but sadly, I have neither.

As in, you watch them every time they're on and you're home. Personally, I watch a lot of "Mythbusters" (new episode tonight!). I also watch "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?" when I want to feel better about myself.

So, what's on your TVs, NSG?

Law & Order. It's almost like Crime and Punishment, but not long as hell.

Also, the Daily Show and the Colbert Report.

none of them. i haven't turned the damd thing on at any preset time for i don't know how many years now. last time i did and left it on for more then five minuets was when we had a big storm moving through and the had some pretty pictures of the show coming down on top of the hill.

(and that was only because i had the computer unplugged to prevent the risk of storm related power surge damage)

("the hill" = donner summit, elevation 7010feet)

about once every six months i turn it on to see if any of the new commercials are fun to watch. five minuets is long enough to determine this for the next six months.

.../\...

Not with my television.


So I assume you watch them on other mediums? I find it interesting why certain people prefer to watch films rather than TV shows. I have to watch a lot of films and picking through the listings isn't fun, there's an awful lot of dross released every week. I know TV shows aren't exactly brimming with quality but at least you don't sit there thinking "I paid $10 for this shit".

I don't bother trying to catch shows on tv...I just download them or stream them. As for obsessive...right now I'm on a House kick. He's exactly the kind of asshole I love.I was at work thinking about that episode where the Vicadin finally got to him and he had to stick a tube up himself, and chuckled somewhat loudly amid the din.
*bows*

Can't say i'm "obsessive" *although certain people will adamantly argue against me on that*, but there's ones i will occasionally go out of my way for.
The/A Daily Show / (The) Colbert Report
House
Mythbusters
Prison Break
Lost
Drawn Together
American Dad / Simpsons

This isn't including, of course, the ones that have gone bye-bye.
