What are you watching on TV, whats good?

I watch most of my entertainment on my laptop so I dont get to surf. Im curious what you all think is good and why.

Im currently watching Sons of Anarchy. While its pretty hokey and lost a lot of its flavor I like watching the characters develop and sub-plot stories be told.

I also just watched the second episode of The Walking Dead which is pretty well done. The graphic blood is, well, graphic but the story is intense so far.

Breaking Bad, cant wait till next season. Crank cooking chem teacher, LOL.

Boardwalk Empire. I love the ATF guy, or whatever we called em back then.

Waddya got? What am I missing?

I used to watch SOA quite a bit, but have lost interest past 2 seasons.

Alot of times I watch old shows like Sanford & Son or Green Acres. I get a kick out of Mr. Haney, always hustling scrap & junk.

I too watch most of my shows on the computer- when the TV laid an egg I never replaced it.

If you want some laughs, check this out...very funny

East bound and Down. and of course Always Sunny in Philly.

Boardwalk Empire is my current favorite.

Hah! LOL! I am watching nothing, despite working around the clock many day I had my Comcast turned off [[due to costs) so now I have only my DVDs as I don't have the special antenna/ or boxes on my TVs. Look forward to joining the world of cable TV once again ---:[[---

I miss the news channels though I get new other places...... [[sniffle-sniffle)

IMO GA had the funniest cast of any sitcom.
Great comedy writing on that show.

Community is the only scripted show I watch, it's pretty goofy. Other than that, sports and Hell's Kitchen right now. And Jeopardy, yeah, definitely Jeopardy.

I don't have cable but they post the episodes online a week later.

What's even funnier is when you find yourself playing the role of Oliver Wendell Douglas in real life. :eek:

It's disturbing how often that happens.

but when it happens in Detroit, the country came to the city folk.

Absolutely astonished nobody mentioned Glee. :confused:

Ive been watching The Office reruns on Netflix. I loved the one scene where Jim dresses up and acts like Dwight. "Identity Theft is a serious matter"

I dont understand how some ppl can watch the show Two and a Half Men anymore. How crapily contrived, although I do admit it was funny for a minute in the beginning. I like Charlie Sheen as a person and I kind of feel sorry for Ducky but the lines their given are just too rat a tat tat followed by a laugh track.

This thread isnt going anywhere, maybe we should complain about crappy tv. Would that be more fun? Although with all the reality TV Im not sure if Lowells server is powerful enough to handle the "load"

I understand opinions are subjective, different people like different things, but quite honestly, anybody who finds that show funny has to be a fucking moron.

I don't see how anyone can watch the office. it is the most singularly un-funny sitcom i've ever tried to watch. not a single character I would ever find sympathetic [[same is true of seinfeld, but at least THEY were funny!). Don't care much for two and a half either. actually, the whole sitcom universe seems to be dead.

There is nothing on TV that makes me make sure I watch it every week. The TV is my very last resort if there's absolutely nothing else to do and I feel like being entertained.

2.5 Men is painful to watch. Nothing redeeming in it at all. My brain cells shriek in agony if I take a peek at it for a minute. The funny thing is, Charlie Sheen doesn't even have to act on that show.

The Office took me one or two episodes to "get it" and is one of my favorites, although some episodes seem very formulaic [[similar to how Seinfeld got in the end).

The only other comedy that actually makes me laugh is 30 Rock. Not perfect, but better than 99% of the cookie cutter crap the networks belch out.

That show Weeds is really good.

Breaking Bad is definitely an excellent show. Another I LOVE that's been cancelled for a few years is The Wire. I can still watch re runs of that over and over and it never ceases to amaze me.

I've heard good things about Modern Family as well, but haven't had a chance to watch an episode.

Nothing really, other than the FOX animations on Sundays, South Park, Judge Judy and occasionally reruns of old sitcoms [[namely Laverne & Shirley and Golden Girls).

Great news is "The Game" returns January 11th on BET!!! :D

Futurama's take on Xmas

Django, thanks or the link. The Walking Dead is a great show. But why, oh why do people use or convert to Divx? It is always buffering. I can't stand it.

Game of Thrones. What a trip. Brings me back to my Dungeons an Dragons days.

Has to be the best show on right now. I just love the Imp, but all the characters are so interesting, and so many of them. Looking forward to reading the books. As I heard, the 4th and 5th book are still in the making.

GOAT. Theres a way to watch that link without using Divx. When the Divx screen pops up just X it and press hide and play [[I believe) I cant stand Divx, never been able to get it to work. Ive been able to get new episodes about 11pm on Sunday nights that were just shown earlier that night on HBO on thae same Project TV. http://www.free-tv-video-online.me/s...hows&sa=Search

I have Comcast and watch Pawn Stars on the History Channel, the 24/7 BBC News programs on Channel 387 [[better that all the American News programs; hardly any Obama, no Michelle and real news), Soccer on Channel 726 at night; some Country Western and Channel 7 News at 5.30a/Channel 2 at 10.00p to check who's been shot and what's been burned down. Nothing else.

Really enjoy Burn Notice my favorite. Also I try not to miss America's Most Wanted I'm waiting for the day I recognize somebody on it, hasn't happen yet thou.

CNBC American Greed to find out how to work every Ponzi scheme known to man. The money involved in some of those scheme's is unbelievable.

I'll watch Gangland every now and then.

Also, I love my sports and I have been getting into First Take on ESPN 2 lately
Stephen A and Skip Bayless keep me laughing.

And the other sports show is Inside The NBA. especially after the games are over around midnight or one am. That show is the most non PC show I've seen. With all the trash talk, and insults it reminds me of talking sports at the barbershop.

You've given me some good ideas firstandten on how I might extend my viewing. Thanks. I can see that some of these programs can be interesting; particularly if we are not on them. Does Obama figure in any of them yet?

No, but Obama, myself and a few million others share a favorite program "The Wire".

Coracle- I figure my favorite program staring Obama won't come until tues Nov 6 sometime close to midnight when gets on TV to thank the nation for giving him a second term.

I really enjoyed the House finale

What's good on TV? NOTHING! but rediculous talent shows that Howard Stern apologizes to a 10 year old rapper for buzzing him out. Stupid singer contents that rip-off Clay Aiken and mold Jennifer Hudson into a Weight Watcher spokeswoman and Ninja Warrior contests that causes stupid people to pass almost impossible obsticle courses. Sit-coms that have no moral points and values. TV wrestling that is fake! Mix Martial Arts games that looks like fake TV wrestling And more bad news!

1000 channels and there's nothing on to watch.

Its really something how times have changed. I remember watching channels 2,4,7 and 9 and the UHF stations. Those stations would play the National Anthem and shut down around midnight and all you could see were test patterns. There was nothing to watch so we either went to bed or did something else. Now years later TV is on 24-7 we have 1000's of channels catering to every broadcasting taste and as Danny said there's still nothing to watch.
