TV show advice

[Scooter]

Despite my resolution to not get into the reality TV shows, I am totally addicted to The Biggest Loser. I just started watching it this season. I also LOVE Kitchen Nightmares with that chef from Hell's Kitchen. What a character that guy is!! I want to try his restaurant in NY and see how good the food is.

And I cannot wait for American Idol to start again in January.

I have been watching Californication too...this last episode ticked me off. He gets carjacked and doesn't take the manuscript? He doesn't make a copy for himself, but his ex-lover's fiancee's daughter has one? And in the coming attractions passes it off as her own?

Moron. I can see myself giving up on this show, despite the gratuitious sex.

BTW - the 16 year old girl...is the little girl from The Nanny, all grown up. (she's really 22)

The Girls Next Door is the apex of TV shows

I agree entirely, the show is a little unrealistic. Also, the girl from the Nanny is very hot.

Friends was hilarious.

Until they turned Chandler into a pussy.

Is How I Met your Mother as good as people say? I might try to watch some old eps when I get the time if so.

It's really funny. The whole cast works well together. Plus last year I was planning a wedding so a lot of it was almost written for us.

Vicki...please do me a favor and watch 30 Rock. By far, the funniest show on TV now.

Rent/buy seasons 1-3 of Lost. Don't worry, you'll watch them each in a week.

Dirty Jobs is fun to pass the time, and after the new year we can look forward to Deadliest Catch...IMO the only reality show worth a damn.

[Slavenka]

The Wire is probably the greatest TV show ever.

I like Office and 30 Rock, also Dexter and Weeds. Project Runway starts soon. And of course I love New York!! Also I've heard good things about It's Always Sunny and Ugly Betty, but I haven't seen either. And I started Lost but stopped when friends told me the show fell off. I also know a few die-hard Heroes fans, so I watched a couple episodes. Can't really comment on it yet. Good premise, but typical network tv so far.

Well I watch the Yankees games/the YES network, ESPN (sometimes) and 24. I've seen The Office too. Other than that I don't watch any tv. And suggestions on good tv shows to watch for the next 5 or 6 months?

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS! One of the best shows on tv, easily. I'm really liking Private Practice too, it's a spin off of Grey's Anatomy. Good so far.

Let's Go Rangers!!!

Its morphin time!

Friends was hilarious.

Friends was awesome. My favorite show ever.

Dexter on Showtime just started and it is a great show. Nip/Tuck is starting their new season on October 30.

ahh, funny you ask this Vick...

We are members at Blockbuster so we get so many movies a month free..so we were recently looking for a new tv show to watch and catch up on a few seasons like we did with Lost--- it's great -- no commercials and four episodes or so on each CD...

We decide to get Rescue Me...it's extremely well written -- characters will make you hate them one minute and love them the next -- they humanize them even in their darkest moments, much like the Sopranos...

We're now up to the middle of Season 2 and there are some dark episodes for sure but not too bad..last night, I got home from a REALLY stressful day at work, dealt with some really bad family stuff that's going on (why i missed the last yankee game of the year) and had just come from getting an MRI on my thumb -- where I spent an HOUR in that thing -- only to watch an episode of Rescue me as an escape from this stress...well, it was a TRAGIC episode and I never saw it coming...ugh...

I was balling my eyes out...the b/f doesn't really understand why i cry or get down when it's just a show with characters.

Anyway, after this way too long story -- I'd recommend you stay away from Rescue Me unless you want a heavy drama -- then I highly recommend it.

Rescue Me is great and I think I know which episode you are talking about. I still love it even with the heavy drama.

Yeah, forgot about Friday Night Lights. I like that show too.

I also just started watching the new show called Cane with Jimmy Smits. Very sexy and good acting too. I like it so far.

Tues: Bones and House
Wed: Kitchen Nightmares and Criminal Minds

There is also this new show on called Jouryman. I've seen it a couple of times and it's pretty good too!

What is Kitchen Nightmares about? I've never heard of that one before.

Have you ever seen the show Hells Kitchen? It's the same guy Gordon Ramsey and he goes into (at lest so far) these restaurants in New York and they are really nasty! He usually goes in and fixes whats it all up and turns the place around.
It really makes you think twice about were you go out to eat!

Get HBO, Entourage is a good program and I hear that the Wire is also really impressive.

entourage = favorite show

all i watch is entourage, sopranos, and sports.

forgot about this show - thanks for reminding me - it starts tomorrow - wahoo!!
must remember to DVR the series...

the wire is the best show on tv since the classic simpsons years (seasons 3-8). Oz is also great. And what is great here is that you so many seasons to catch up on.

The office,
my name is earl keeps my attention
nova on pbs
frontline also on pbs


sorry but I loathe entourage.

Rescue Me is one of my favorite shows. It can be heavy at times, but not all the time. In fact, it's the way they deal with heavy stuff in a funny way (except for the episode you're talking about) that makes it so great.

Nip/Tuck is also great. I recommend renting the first few seasons. The first was the best IMO.

Now I watch Gray's Anatomy, Private Practice, House, Bones, Survivor, Kid Nation, Ghost Whisperer, Las Vegas, Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters.

[TinoFan84]

If I had to narrow it down to just a few (yes, I watch entirely too much TV) I'd recommend Bones, NCIS, The Unit, Friday Night Lights.

[NewEraYanks2527]

Read more. I wish I had the discipline to do that.

It started last week. I saw it. If you missed the first show you can watch it online.

I also like Desperate Housewives, forgot about that one.

I am looking forward to Nip/Tuck with their move to Beverly Hills this year, should be funny.

oh crap ... i will definitely watch it online today - thanks for the reminder!!

You know what, the past couple of evenings I have been bored btw the 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm timeframe. That was when I usually watched YES Pregame leading into the first couple of innings of the Game. Plus its dark out now and that s*cks. I usually don't get a chance to watch regular TV until about the 9 to 11 timeframe. Here are some of my favorites, but I don't consider anything anymore a can't miss (since Sopranos). If I am awake and home I watch, if not no taping no stressing, its only TV.

CSI-Miami
Grey's Anatomy
Nip/Tuck (can't wait for the season to start)
Rescue Me (had no idea that was the season finale a couple of weeks ago)
ER
Private Practice (watchable but not 100 % crazy about yet)
Desperate Housewives
Brothers & Sisters.

I do tape General Hospital and have been trying to catch up with it on the weekend via SoapNet. Now with no Yanks, I will probably have more time to stay on top of it.
