I watch no shows on TV, I do however follow several TV shows. Currently 1 season into Lois and Clark. Much superior to Smallville, I feel, but I'm sticking with that as well. Dexter, Stargate Universe, Dollhouse, South Park.. finished Battlestar Galactica recently.. I used to love Lost, Heroes, and 24, but somehow lost track, and never found the motivation to start catching up again. Might check out Automan soon. Used to watch it as a kid, thought it was uber cool.

I was blown away by the pilot of V. I had no particular expectations, but I think it's the third-best pilot I've ever seen. (The first two are the pilots from Firefly and Alias.) It had me hooked in the first ten seconds, and by the end of the episode I was interested in every single one of the regular characters.

I hear that ABC's already fired and replaced one of the guys responsible for this pilot. Also, they're only airing four episodes now, and then taking a break, and then airing the other nine. All this just goes to prove that they're bonkers. More evidence can be found in Flashforward, which I'm enjoying very much. (Okay, last week's episode was very bad. But usually it's fun.) The pilot was uninteresting, they brought in the guy behind Eli Stone to take over, he made it fun immediately in the next episode (which he wrote), he sustained that level of entertainment for the next few episodes, and then they fired him. Bonkers.

Flashforward is excellent

I Sure miss Pushing Daisies.

Dead Set.

One of the last remaining refuges from the zombie horde (28 days/L4D kind) is the set of Big Brother (UK).

This just started down here and its kind of humorous for a couple of reasons. The premise for one, the fact that it's being broadcast free to air on a semi government funded television station in a country who's classification/regulatory body saw fit to ban Left for Dead 2 for half as graphic content, for another.

In the first episode we see graphic depictions of body parts being ripped out by teeth, internal organs being feasted on post frenzy, a pair of scissors through the ear, zombies dragging themselves about with gnawed off limbs, and culminating in a zombie's head being pulverised, blow by blow with a giant, red, metal fire extinguisher.

That was awesome - it was written by Charlie Brooker of 'Screenwipe' and 'Nathan Barley' fame.
Check out his other stuff.

I'm looking forward to the last season of LOST, and the DVD release of the last season of WEEDS.

Personally, I've grown to hate TV and don't watch that much of it. There isn't very much on nowadays that appeals to me and there's sooooo much crap on in the UK (imo).

The shows I do like, however, I just buy on DVD and they are:

Fawlty Towers
The League of Gentlemen
Porridge
Open All Hours
Some Mothers Do Ave Em
The Simpsons
Family Guy
Black Adder
French and Saunders (their older stuff)
Only Fools and Horses
Whose Line Is It Anyway? (UK version)

[Fantasysci5]

I'm hoping to rewatch some "Avatar" today...no, not the movie, the cartoon series. At first, I didn'tlike it because it seemed too kiddish, with stupid "fart" kind of jokes*, but then I grew into it, and it evolved, and I fell in love with it. Not an obsession, but I do like it. Zuko's awesome!

*Okay, so there's no fart jokes, but they're the type of jokes that kids laugh at and adults grown at.

Yeah I'm with you on this; I've not really watched television since uni where we lived without it for 3 years. I do wander in on something occasionally that my folks are watching but even then it's usually fluff. I watch loads of films and try to watch tv shows where I can but actual live TV is a bit of rotting corpse now.

[UPtimist]

Pretty much the only good TV shows nowadays are comedies. I've been thinking about this and almost everything I watch on TV aside from movies is just that. Only non-comedy show still airing that I can bother to watch that I remember is Lost, and I'm not sure I could bother more than the last season anymore.

[Crunchy in milk]

We're in the silly season now. Some silly seasons they throw on shows from US Cable channels to see if anything sticks but we've had none of that this year (apart from the awful 'White Collar').

I've had to make do watching Weeds (series 3 & 4) and The Wire (series 2). I'm seriously considering getting The Wire on disc. Its hard to come away satisfied with just weekly doses of it.

[Denaron]

Well, since the fifth season of Dexter has finished and the sixth of Lost doesn't has started. I've decided to watch Six Feet Under, and it's brilliant! An awesome TV serie at all, a friend of mine recommended it to me and now I recommend it to you guys!

My favourite TV series at the moment is Fringe although the second series seems a bit sporadic. Also I find Peep Show (UK) hilarious when it's on.

[MoriartyL]

I was really loving Fringe in its first season but I think the frequency of really bad episodes is getting higher. It also drives me crazy how they keep making it look like it's going somewhere, just to pull back and say "Ha ha, we weren't serious about that. You think we'd threaten the precious status quo?". At this point I'm not sure if it's ever going to go anywhere.

By the way, did you notice how the sister and her daughter dropped out of the show this year? (Well, there was one appearance for the girl, but the point stands.) I suspect it's because they moved production to Vancouver and those actresses didn't want to move. It's kind of a shame.

Peep Show rules.

Yeah it's like each episode is one strange event after another which they never seem to get any closure on. It would be okay if they linked together but they never really do. Yeah I noticed the sister in the first episode but that's about it.

The last three 'telemovies' of Inspector Montalbano that where produced back in november 2008 have finally been subtitled into english and are airing on SBS down here. Its so nice to see Salvo and the gang again but most of all beautiful southern italy.
