Favourite TV Shows

[Alysheba]

I never liked the Simpsons. I liked his comic strip, but the Simpsons has never made me laugh.

A lot of my friends love "The Simpsons". Me, I never did. Don't know quite why. It's weird being the only one in a group that doesn't like them.

How could I have forgotten Joan of Arcadia? I love that show and I'm not happy that it was cancelled.

And just a word about Emergency: I never did like that show, but since my parents always watched it, I saw it a lot of the time. The only time I was glad was the the episode where someone asked DeSoto which high school he graduated from. I laughed my butt off when he said "Norwalk High", since that's the school I graduated from.

I did always like M*A*S*H. But that's my pattern, I guess...I generally only like sit-coms that make me cry as much as they make me laugh. Liked the later episodes better than the earlier ones, once they got rid of Trapper John, who I never liked, and then Ferret Face (can't remember the character's name right now).

I don't have any current favourite TV shows - just the odd documentary on Discovery or NGS and whatever cartoon is on at the moment.

Black adder
Enterprise
Black Books
Never Mind the Buzzcocks

But most definitely kicking all other contenders in the ass would have to be,

Red Dwarf!!!!!

Ferret Face is Frank Burns
I watched Emergency and Adam 12 because that's what mom watched.
I can't believe I didn't add Fawlty Towers and Black Adder and Red Dwarf either...

The OC (i know, totally lame, but i love it! not as good as 90210 though)
Bev Hills 90210 (was my fave when i was young!)

oh boy. I'll call 000

 

[jenna]

lol i know! but lame shows are good too. like lame movies can be just as good or even better than the good ones!

 

[Calis]

so where is Baywatch, Big Brother, and The Nanny on your list?

 

[jenna]

Baywatch is boring. i'll admit to watching Big Brother, but mostly because i have a huge crush on Dean and often it's the only thing on late night, especially at the moment with the bloody tennis and cricket grrr (getting foxtel switched on again in like 4 days, so won't be a problem much longer). The Nanny is one of those shows i'll watch if it's on like Seinfeld etc.
OMG i totally forgot to add Oprah and Dr Phil!!!

 

[Calis]

you scare me.

FYI Cricket and Tennis is on Foxtel at the moment as well.

Big Brother sucks.

 

[GOLLUM]

Big Brother sucks.

Interesting choice of words...

 

[Calis]

lol, true.

If i expressed my true feelings I would be banned big time.

 

[Culhwch]

Is any one else amazed it comes back year after year? Who's watching it? Who could possibly find it interesting? I wish Channel Nine had picked it up at the start, it'd have been given the chop after two nights. But Ten will show anything, I suppose....

 

[Calis]

I think ratings are dropping.

It seems that the reality crase has dropped off as well as those DIY shows, backyard blitz etc.
Get rid of Idol and its easy street.

 

[Brittney]

"Smallville"
"Everwood"
"ER"
"King of the Hill"
"Full House"
"Sister; Sister"
"Once & Again"

 

[jenna]
