Just curious to see what people's taste in television is. As for me, I watch:

Heroes
V
How I Met Your Mother
Glee

I used to watch FlashForward before their mid-season break, but now that it's back, I just haven't gotten urge to watch it again. Same with Stargate: Universe. I much prefer the old SG-1.

The Big Bang Theory is one that I watch on DVD. We don't have cable tv, and we're in a very poor spot to get broadcast, so all the shows I watch are on the internet. Except BBT, which CBS won't put on their website.

Does "Wake Up With Al" count?

Knight Rider
Airwolf
Battlestar Galatica (original series)
Any of the 6 Trek series
How It's Made
Sci-Fi Science
MacGyver
Stargate SG-1
Warehouse 13

The list goes on and on

The only network shows I watch are

NCIS
CSI

I don't watch any of the spin-offs from those because they just don't have the "spark". And CSI's on probation now that Grissom is gone.

I also watch (when they aren't repeats):

Dirty Jobs (also on probation -- they're running out of gas)
Mythbusters
Batman: The Brave and the Bold
Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Stargate Universe
Dr. Who. (I've been hooked since the "revival".)

and pretty much anything new that's space or science oriented from Discovery, TLC, or NGC channels.

I'm also currently working my way through Voyager and DS9 on disc.

Ah. Speaking of Batman, do you happen to remember the original animated series that played in the 90's? That was a damn good show. Mark Hamill's Joker is a classic.

I've watched every TV incarnation of Batman (including Adam West -- yes, I am an Olde Pharte), and Batman: The Animated Series (later inexplicably renamed The Adventures of Batman & Robin) was absolutely the best Batman ever. (So far.)

Brave and the Bold is camp fun, very reminiscent of the 60's show, and of The Tick, oddly enough.


(Wups! Forgot Dr. Who. I've been hooked since the "revival".)

-Warehouse 13
-Colbert Report
-Futurama (and other cartoons)
-Haven't really watched Merlin, but it looks good

For me:

NCIS (and woe to the person or event that dares to interrupt me while I'm watching it.)
NCIS: LA (I can handle interruptions on this one, unless Kensi is on screen.)

And that's pretty much it for currently airing shows.

While at work (10PM-8AM), I will watch:

Good Eats (Alton Brown is the man!)
NCIS on Sleuth
Angel on TNT (2 hrs)
Charmed on TNT (takes me to quitting time.)

Other than those programs, I essentially have little interest in television.

I don't get all the hate about Stargate Universe. I'm liking it for the very reason that its NOT Stargate or Atlantis. I agree its been moving kinda slow, but thats not necessarily a bad thing.

Anyway:
Lost (its like heroin, sometimes its the ****, sometimes its just plain ****)
House (Still makes me laugh)
Fringe (Love/hate here, don't really know why)
Supernatural (Same as above)
Better of Ted (RIP, btw!)
Flashforward (Snore. Great concept, terrible in every other way)
Breaking Bad (awesome performances and damn good writing)
The Wire (Simply put, the greatest Tv show ever made)
South Park (Slowly but surely running out of steam)

Good job it's on PC as well then. check steam, has the game of the year for a decent price.

Bones and Fringe are the only things on TV right now i would recommend to any one else, least till lie to me come back.

SG:U is watchable, better than the other series but still not really that top notch.

V get's dumber by the episode.

edit: forgot to mention "The Pacific" more quality TV from the Band of Brothers team.

Most things Sci-Fi are what appeal to me, at this time I’m into Fringe and the V series, also the reruns of Star Gate Atlantis. Also I don’t mind Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles as it’s something a little different, and follows Fringe.

I downloaded the demo off Steam, it's a quality game. :) I especially like that they seem to have gotten all the original voice actors from the animated series to do the voices in the game. At least I recognized Batman, Joker, and Harley Quinn.
