ASIDE from the obvious what (other) "TV" shows do you watch?

I don't religiously watch any one show, but I do sporadically watch Train 48 and Y&R.

I used to watch Coronation Street until it got so ridiculously far behind the UK schedule, now I just read the daily updates at itv.co.uk.

I'm often tuned onto the National Geographic channel, Discovery, TLC or Space.

OMG! I forgot South Park!

I also forgot Wonderfalls. It got cancelled before the end of it's first season last year, but it's playing on ONE, and the DVD's available as of Feb 1 2005.

Star Trek: Enterprise - it's been cancelled though

The Sopranos
American Chopper *
Monster Garage *
Daily Planet *
Myth Busters *

* All on the Discovery Channel, my favourite

Enterprise is the only show I watch religiously. The others I watch whenever I can.

No, under any circumstances, "reality" TV.

Yeah, yeah - yr headed in the right direction, bro. I guess I watch about 2 hours per day average - mostly late night shite. Only thing I MUST see is Six Feet Under . . really hooked on the Fisher family! Hey and not to forget - anything remotely connected with TPB

! Cheers!

Monster Garage
Myth Busters
American Chopper
Daily Planet
Daily Show
Jay Lenno
Antiques Roadshow
Sopranos
Survivor

Weather Channel
CSI
Without a Trace
CBC Newsworld

CBC (Radio) ( not TV ,but probably the most consistent in my life) ,I grew up far from TV signals ,roads ,and electricity ,so CBC radio was our only daily link to the "outside world" ,and that has stuck with me all these years later. The sound of "As it Happens" at 6:30 still brings back a flood of memories"

I love BBC, Ben. The best comedies and mysteries. Have you ever seen "Touching Evil" which stars Robson Green? Robson Green ... mmmm. Heh.

I love docs too. The Fifth Estate, Rough Cuts and The Passionate Eye .. my faves.

Cheers,

In no particular order:
Simpsons, Law & Order (any of them), Survivor, Amazing Race, Futurama, Kim & Kath, Six Feet Under, M*A*S*H, Cosby Show, Drew Carey Show, Holmes on Homes
That's all I can think of for now.
Bigben, I loved House of Frightenstein!! I hear or read somewhere that all the original copies of the shows have been destroyed and they will never officially be released on DVD, which totally sucks!
Does anyone remember the animated version of Hercules? His centaur sidekick Newton, the magic ring that gave Hercules his powers, the evil Mask and Wilemene (sp?).

Yeah, you're right, Benji, it's a great show. I greatly look forward to watching the whacky Fisher brood and company every Sunday night. Here's some of my other favs:

-Law and Order SVU (huge Meloni fan, am I)
-CSI (the original, not any of that Miami or New York shit)
-Oz (bring it back in syndication-PLEEEEEEEEEZE!)
-All in the Family (ya gotta love Archie-the lovable bigot)
-Taxi (Danny Devito was so brilliant in this show)
-Desperate Housewives (my future wife, Eva Longoria)
-Dog the Bounty Hunter (he's an interesting character; scary wife)
-Growing Up Gotti (her boys are hilarious...and spoiled rotten)
-Tonight Show With Jay Leno (always preferred him to Letterman)
-Everybody Loves Raymond (hilarious; Patricia Heaton's a hottie)

Certainly a diverse list of favourite, eh? Lates.

"You're in big trouble now, boy!"-Lahey, to Julian, just after the ATM machine shot off police dye.

The Simpsons
This Hour Has 22 Minutes (not near as good as it used to be)
Monday Report (part of the reason 22 is not as good)
Corner Gas
Degrassi the Next Generation
NYPD Blue (last season,

I watched it from day 1)
The Apprentice and Survivor
Six Feet Under (I gave up on it for awhile but am getting back into it)
Weeknights between 11:30 and 12 I switch back and forth between Letterman and ZED on CBC Sometimes I look at Leno just to see how lame his monologues are.

I used to watch Hockey but not this season

Yeah....on my friends Niagara Falls Web Site she had this show mentioned as a topic when it was first announced last March 2004.

I read the description of the show and it was about a souvenier shop lady and the figurines talked to her leading her into the past for adventures. It was on FOX. I didn't really make an effort to check it out. Sounded like a "Bewitched " lost episode.

I would like a show that just showed Niagara Falls. Like the Yule Log at X-mas time!!!!
