Anything with Law and Order in it's title, or NCIS or CIS (except NY).

But I really love that Project Runway show, too. Gosh, those designers are so dramatic! I wouldn't trust them in my house with a sharp pair of scissors!

Oh! I forgot to mention the Britcoms! I love the Vicar of Dibbley! Have you ever seen Black Books? One of my favorites.

I seem to always miss them on the TV so I usually rent the whole seasons on Netflix.

#1---NCIS (my favorite show of ALL TIME!!! NCIS LA is OK but no Gibbs
)

#2---Criminal Minds

#3---L&O SVU (though I like all the L&O shows, SVU is my favorite....drives me crazy that it's on at the same time as Criminal Minds; I always have to DVR one of them. Re-runs of the original are great, too.....I'm a big fan of Jack. Jack/Claire was a terrific pairing)

#4---House

#5---Psyche

I also watch WAY too much TV, those are just my favorites. The ones I HAVE to watch or DVR. Others I'll watch but if I catch a re-run no biggie:
Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, Cold Case, The Closer, Raising the Bar (this and The Closer come close to being on the top 5....tied for #6 maybe), CSI (any of them....preference being older episodes of the original CSI with Grissom), White Collar, Survivor, The Big Bang Theory (is this the only comedy I like? LOL).

How awesome is The Big Bang Theory?!!!!

SO far it is the top listed show of this thread and it is my favorite right now!
I haven't watched a bad one yet, and the writing is genius! My theory is that this is the big bang

I love The Vicar of Dibley!! They don't show it anymore on BBCA or my PBS but when they did I never missed it! I recently watched the final episodes/Christmas special on BBCA (
Richard Armitage )
Black Books was one I really liked too, though they don't show that one any more either. And I loved My Hero, so funny! My Family and Coupling in the earlier seasons were great. 'Allo 'Allo is running on PBS right now and I really like that one but my fav is probably As Time Goes by, it's such a nice story.
I'm also watching Demons on BBCA, which is supposed to be a drama but it's so cheesy that it makes me laugh

I loved the show Being Human. It was On Demand for a little bit and I watched all the episodes they showed here in the US. I hope they show more if there are any. A ghost, a vampire and a werewolf share a flat.

Cold Case is superb. It's so emotional. I like anything with emotions like The Biggest Loser, or sports playoffs. Oh, I recently watched The Mentalist for the first time. I think it's something I can quickly grow to like definitely.

1) Criminal Minds - Have watched this on and off since it started, but have really been into it this season and have discoved reruns on A&E.
2) Grey's Anatomy - not greatly impressed with the show lately, but seem to still tune in every Thursday.
3) Medium
4) Flashpoint - not sure where this has been lately, but I love the show and love that it is Canadian
5) FlashForward - really got into this before Christmas...it's on hiatus right now, we'll see if I am still as hooked when it returns.

6) Tie for CSI (original), SVU, and House - I don't really feel the need to watch the new shows every week but frequently watch the reruns when I'm looking for something to watch.

My all time favourites will always be Friends and Gilmore Girls.

TV shows currently being made... (star trek would be top of the list otherwise)

Criminal Minds (Dr Reid and I think Penelope is the coolest chik ever)
Heroes
Smallville (I loved Lex, but green arrow isn't bad)
Chopped
NCIS (I just love Abby, She's sooo funny, she's a cool chik IMO)

If Criminal Minds is on and I haven't seen the episode, no other tv show matters.
I just love Dr. Reid Spencer... He is one of my most fave characters on tv. Matthew Gray Gubbler does such a great job playing a socially awkward super genius. I love how he always gets cut off spilling out facts that I find interesting, but just waste their time...Details!!
I so love him... Too bad he isn't a REAL man!!
(Spock is always #1)

Only five? Oh, dear....

In no particular order:

1. Project Runway
2. House Hunters
3. Wheel of Fortune
4. Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura
5. The Amazing Race

For those of you Jeopardy fans, my cousin was on and the show will be airing February 15th. I'm so excited!
I like Jeopardy, too, I just didn't have room on my list. I'll post a thread when it's closer to time for the show.
