Ghost Hunters and Ghost Hunters International (which has been less annoying lately than GH) are the only shows I regularly set the DVR to record.

Michio Kaku's currently running series on the Science Channel is another.

The rest of the stuff is just whatever is on Discovery, Science, Investigations Discovery (ID), National Geographic, or the History Channels that catches my attention - I've watched nearly every show on ID (thankfully there's new ones coming on).

Meteorite Men is another one that so far seems like it might be worth watching the series.


I have no attention span for tv series with drawn out plots and lots of drama. They're quite boring and a waste of time, actually. I'd rather watch documentaries on paint/bricks/concrete/etc.

I like that show too! Not sure why! Probably the suspense of them driving over frozen water with those huge trucks and hundreds of tons of cargo behind them, which is something I won't even walk on!!!

Amazing how much money they can make in one winter driving season though! That money would sure be tempting!

I also learned where the diamond mines are! I never knew that before.

Also in no particular order:

1) House
2) NCIS- the original one
3) Bones
4) Law & Order SVU
5) Dirty Jobs

An aside, the NCIS fans here seem to have a little somthin' going for Gibbs and I agree, he is a fine hunk of manliness, but my heart goes to McGee,
I also have a nonsexual crush on Abby.

3) Coronation Street
4) Holby City
5) House

I admit, I'm also huge fan of medical documentaries and there are too many for me to name

    NCIS (and I seem to catch the LA version as well)
    Burn Notice

My all time favorites are still Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the X-Files, though.

I do like Gibbs, but if it came down to "crushes", I actually like Jimmy Palmer, LOL. He's adorable.

Burn Notice (Sam! And I named a cat after Fiona)

NCIS (McGee, then Gibbs. The only character I actually don't care for that much is Tony.)

Fringe (I would probably watch anything with Joshua Jackson in it, but I really like this show)

Criminal Minds (Pretty much enjoy the whole cast, except maybe JJ)

Heroes (Robert Knepper was great in Prison Break. A good addition)

For some sick reason I also watch Chelsey Lately, The Soup & Iron Chef. It's kind of like driving past a car wreck, I find myself looking even when know I'd be better off if I didn't.
