We need a TV thread!

Sadly... my week sorta revolves around them...  I have no life

Now that Shark Week is on Discovery you know I watching it .

I watch full TV series mostly through Netflix.  I've seen 3 episodes (I think) of Dr. Who and:

I use dice to pick which series I'm going to watch next.  If that doesn't seem interesting, I roll again.  Between my preference of watching whole series from the beginning and the low cost, I have a Roku player and Netflix.  I have cable up to August 11, but after that, I won't.  I don't like reality shows.  In fact, the more unrealistic, the better .  So far, my favorites have been Persons Unknown, Alphas, Revenge, and Harper's Island, and of those, Persons Unknown and Revenge are my favorites -- I'm really upset that Persons Unknown got canceled.  I thought about writing fan fiction to continue it, but I don't feel like I know what's going on well enough.  I also really liked Twin Peaks when it was on, although I hated the final episode.  I also didn't care much for the movie.

My co-worker is an avid tv series collector and there's not much he doesn't have. Thanks to him, I've seen Deadwood, Six Feet Under, Dexter, True Blood, Heroes, Alias, Firefly (all one season of it), The Wire, The Shield, Prison Break, and there are a few more I can't remember right offhand. He has so many DVDs of tv series that he doesn't even have cable tv since he moved....he focuses on one series, then when he finishes it, he'll just start another one. He has tons and tons of movies, too, so he's never at a loss for anything to watch. In fact, sometimes when I get bored, I'll ask him to bring me one or two movies and I'll taken them home and watch them.

He and I made a deal; if I would give Alias a try (I'm not a big Jennifer Garner fan at all), he would try Supernatural. And we both ended up watching our respective entire series. I still give him my Supernatural DVDs every time I get them from a finished season. I also give him my Vampire Diaries finished seasons.

I was a big Moonlight fan, too (Alex O'Laughlin), for its first and only season, but I didn't see it on regular tv. I was channel-surfing one night got to the Sci-Fi channel, saw an episode of Moonlight with Alex, said out loud, "Hello! What's this?" and got hooked. Ended up buying the DVDs.

I was always a big X-Files fan, too, and am going to start buying the DVDs to that (I've put them on my Christmas wish list, too, along with Star Trek TNG DVDs. Big Captain Picard fan, here.)

The only TV collection series I have is Roseanne. I would love to get Welcome Back Kotter.which I would probably have to order from Amazon. Love John Travolta

We got sick of having a zillion channels and nothing to watch. When Gary called the Home Shopping Network to complain about them calling Italian gold "the best gold" (GOLD IS GOLD), I said that is IT. :lol3: We got rid of dish in 2007, and there's no cable where we live as an option. We watch DVDs and yes, VHS tapes. :lol3: So I haven't heard of most of these shows. :anon:

We have a LOT of movies. The TV series we have on DVD are

Mary Tyler Moore
Seinfeld
Andy Griffith (through season 5)
Yes, Prime Minister
Absolutely Fabulous
Keeping Up Appearances
Monk
Green Acres
Adams Family
3rd Rock from the Sun
Mash (not sure how many seasons)
News Radio
Just Shoot Me (wish they'd make the rest of them available!)

Probably a weird list, but...

Not weird at all.. It's a great mix.

I can relate to those. 

 

[dejolane]

I watch Seinfeld  and  Andy Griffin all the time. Love those shows.

 

[Winchester]

That's a great mix, Laurie! I'd watch those shows, too!

I've always loved Keeping up Appearances. Hyacinth is a hoot! I always liked As Time Goes By, too.

I can't believe I forgot to list The Big Bang Theory among my favorites.

I love Keeping up Appearances! My husband could never get into it. That whole family is hilarious, Daisy and Onslow always made me laugh!

 

[colts2broncos]

The Big Bang Theory!  I want my very own Sheldon!!!!

 

[gemlady]

If not for MeTV I would rarely have the thing on. My afternoons are devoted to Emergency (gotta have my daily dose of Johnny Gage :heart3: ), Adam-12, and Dragnet. Evenings I am watching Bewitched, I Dream of Jeanie, Mary Tyler Moore, Rhoda, Dick Van Dyke Show, and Perry Mason.

On the major networks, my weekly viewings consist of PBS (Antiques Roadshow, Nature, Nova), America's Funniest Home Videos, Whose Line Is It Anyway, and syndicated episodes of Big Bang Theory. And when aired, Dancing With the Stars.
