Well my two favorite shows aren't making new episodes anymore so I won't count them (According to Jim/24).

My favorite show currently on the air has to be Terra Nova with Big Bang Theory a very close second. Fact is while I enjoy the half hour of Big Bang Theory more immediately Terra Nova keeps you wanting to come back each week. It offers a deeper plot and is based on a much more interesting concept.

My favorite show this season would have been Play Boy Club, I loved the show after the premier a good conspiracy series about covering up a murder. It had more plot twists in the first three episodes than many series have in a whole season. Great character development attached you to the characters their goals and ambitions.

But it would appear the rest of North America did not see Play Boy Club in the same light considering its extremely low numbers. I'm guessing the name and the fact it was on a prime time network lead to the downfall. I recently saw it suggested the program should have been on HBO or ShowTime with more provocative adult content. While I don't think the adult content would have improved the plot it would have added more realism to the series and it wouldn't have faced the horrible publicity and public back lash it did being on a network seen as family oriented.

Oh well,

Dexter, its just a great show. Its popular for a reason.

I also like Breaking Bad, Mad Men and White Collar.

My current favorite TV program is easily Top Gear UK. I've recently become a car enthusiast and it's great that this show not only shows off the newest and coolest cars, but they also have very funny and entertaining segments that keep it from being a complete bore.

Well, I watch A LOT of TV, so off the top of my head the things I'm watching now in no particular order are--

  • House - kind of meh, I only watch it now because there's nothing else on
  • Psych - love it
  • Hoarders - kind of meh
  • Ringer - It's alright, I watch it because I love Sarah Michelle Gellar
  • New Girl - Incredible new show!
  • How I Met Your Mother - love it
  • The Office - Last season was bad but this season has gotten a lot better
  • Community - love it
  • Glee - Kind of meh, has had its ups and downs.  I'm glad they're done with West Side Story, I hate that show.
  • Doctor Who - Love it, though I'm not a huge fan of the last season.  The second half was good but the first half wasn't, also, Matt Smith isn't nearly as memorable as David Tennant
  • Top Chef - Woohoo, Texas season!
  • The Next Iron Chef - Watch it for the lulz
  • Chopped - fun show, I always make bets on who will leave when
  • An American Horror Story - It's interesting and definately picked up speed teh past few episodes
  • Grimm - I'm on the fence for this one.  The first episode wasn't that great but the second one was pretty good.
  • Terra Nova - I'm about ready to give up on this show
  • The Walking Dead - Still love it
  • Once Upon a Time - It started off as a show I would pass one but it's been getting better each episode
  • Revenge - I really like this show
  • Desperate Housewives - Don't like this show, only watch it because the first two season weren't bad and there's nothing else on on sundays
  • Tosh.0 - Simple mindless fun, episodes are pretty hit or miss
  • Conan - The Wife really likes it, it's getting old to me
  • The Soup - fun show even if I don't get overly into the tabloid stuff
  • Up All Night - Fun new show, I like the actors

Of all the new shows, New Girl is probably my favorite.

Firefly.

But lately I have been watching Sons of anarchy and Spartacus.
Game of thrones was interesting one also.

I am really enjoying house this season! Much better than last season, when I barely paid attention or watched.

Hoarders is like you said getting to be meh.

I am enjoying Mr. California this season on The Office.

I freaking Love Community!!!

I just finally watched an episode of Dr. Who. Really, Really good! It was the one where he had to decide which reality was a dream.

Chopped and other cooking competition shows are nice fillers when you are struggling to find something to watch!

American horror story! Not a jump out of your seat scary, but more of a cringing, what the hell type of scary. Hooked! And its tonight!!!

I am enjoying Grimm. I was surprised that the Employee of the month boss was in the first episode. I will continue watching.

Terra Nova. I do not know what to say about this. I keep tuning in to try and care, but I just do not. Even this last episode was not interesting enough to watch.

The Walking Dead. Find the girl dead or alive already!

The first 20 minutes of once upon a time did not interest me so I have not watched since.

Everyone has been talking about REvenge, So I want to try it out ONDemand in the next few days.

Conan/ The soup are still funny. I do think Conan is losing his touch. what happened to the Zaniness? He lost all his good props to NBC who will never use them!

Used to really enjoy Desperate House wives but it has been a long while since I have watched it.

Gold Rush Alaska: Will those idiots every find any gold!!! Every episode they hint at it, but it never happens.

STorage wars:  I have grown tired of that show. They never tell you what they actually make on the units, and the units are always boring. The good storage shows are Storage hunters and that one on Spike that I have just went blank on with Ton Jones!

Cake Boss when nothing else is on

Seinfeld when nothing else is on.

Ax Men is one of my favorites!

Burn Notice is still good.

 

I am done. Lol

 


That episode of Doctor Who is probably one of my favorite episodes.  If you have Netflix all of the recent ones are on it.  Skipping the Ecclestein season (1) isn't probably a big deal but I'd watch it just to get to know Rose, a few enemies, and realize how pointless Mickey is.
