Right now I'm watching....
Chuck: I was going to watch prison break then Heroes but with both being on at 9 I decided to just watch this show till then and I actually love it. I've seen only 3 episodes but it's only the second season, but the show is really easy to get into so yeah. I wouldn't mark it down as anything amazing but it is amusing and keeps me entertained which is all I ask for in a show.
Heroes: Well I bought the first season on dvd and then watched the second season live and now am watching the third season. The third season is ok but clearly the show is declining. Hopefully it'll get back on track soon.
Prison Break: I've yet to see an episode this season but this use to be one of my main shows so maybe I'll wait till the dvd comes out or maybe watch them online idk.
House: I saw the first season when no one watched it and then stopped and then it became a huge hit lol. With nothing being on tv on tuesday's I've decided to get back into it and even though I was a good 4 seasons behind It's one of those shows like Chuck that you can just get into.
Kitchen Nightmares: I really am not a fan of reality tv shows with big brother being the only one I watch and that's only because there is nothing on during the summer. However, started watching this and found it very amusing for some reason. Chef Ramsey is the man.
The Office: Still find this one of the funniest shows on TV right now along with…
30 Rock: I love watching these shows back to back…
Dexter: Was talking to somar and woo in chat and somar said this is the best show on tv right now. Well that’s not really saying much but I caught the first episode and really enjoyed it.
Waiting for the start of………..
24: Can’t wait for the 2hr bridge movie tomorrow and then in January 24 will start up again. It’s been 2 years since I’ve seen this show, I cannot wait.
Lost: Season 4 was so good, bring on season 5…

I watch a lot of the same shows Flyers does. Prison Break: The first season had such a creative way of storytelling that it's hard for the other seasons to live up to it, but it's still a lot of fun to watch...even if it stretches the imagination sometimes. House: I only got into this show last season, and since have watched the first season and just about every rerun that has been on TV since (USA Network seems to run a marathon every week). It's brilliantly written and the fact that one of the writers is a real doctor and the cases House gets are based on real cases he has heard about/been involved with makes it that much better...as if House's snide remarks weren't enough. Chuck: I've been watching sporadically from the first season. I didn't catch all the episodes in order, due to it going head-to-head with Prison Break last season, but now I watch it weekly. It's a fun show to watch. It's kind of like a summer action flick. Comedy with a little action. Heroes: I'd rather not talk about it.  The Office: Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica. Lost: Still waiting for Joop the Ageless Orangutan to have a line of dialogue. Fringe: If you like Lost and Heroes (and well...The X-Files), then you'll probably enjoy this too. Another JJ Abrams creation, it follows an FBI agent who enlists the help of an institutionalized scientist and his son to investigate a "pattern" of paranormal cases. It's well written and with the "short commercial interruption," it really keeps you watching. Also, Walter Bishop is the man. His random musings and forgetfulness keep me laughing. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: I don't know. I've probably plugged this enough in my time here. But seriously...hilarious. My favorite show. Their way of working from a cold opening to the episode title screen gets me every time. Psych: One of my favorite shows right now. It's about the (very attentive) son of a former police sergeant who claims to be a psychich to work cases for the police department. If you're not into incredibly over-the-top goofy humor, you probably wouldn't like this show. The Big Bang Theory: It airs opposite Chuck, but I watch as much as I can. Sheldon's overly elaborate arguments make the show. Hmm, that's about it for the regular shows I watch. Seems like an awful lot but no Wednesday shows. I guess I watch the Ultimate Fighter...that's a Wednesday show (and coincidentally the only reality show I watch). |

Dexter: Was talking to somar and woo in chat and somar said this is the best show on tv right now. Well that’s not really saying much but I caught the first episode and really enjoyed it. What they said ^^ It's the best written show on TV since The Sopranos, and has one of the best story arcs I can remember. It's funny, ironic, compelling, disturbing and highly enjoyable in equal measure. Don't believe us? Just keep watching for the next six months! I currently watch a whole heap of shows including most of yours - Prison Break, Lost, Heroes, 24, etc... But I also have begun enjoying a bunch of newbies such as: Breaking Bad - a very downbeat/upbeat Cohen-esque show about a chemistry teacher with terminal cancer who becomes a crystal meth manufacturer to finance his family's future after he is gone. Underbelly - a show set in Melbourne which comes across as hybrid of The Sopranos (them again...) and Brotherhood (another great show I watch, starring Jason Isaacs). Ice Road Truckers - Believe the hype, this reality show is every bit as entertaining as they say. These guys are fucking nutters who drive 100 ton lorries across frozen lakes and even the Arctic Ocean! Stargate Atlantis - the spinoff from SG1 which is far better than SG1. It's generic sci-fi for the dumb trekkies like me but I find it extremely engrossing. Battlestar Galactica - the polar opposite of Stargate Atlantis, this is cerebral sci-fi which pulls no punches and is more hard edged than you would imagine. Very intelligent and superbly written. American Chopper - well, it's a tradition now, innit? Hammer House Of Horror - ITV3 are rerunning this ancient series from 1980, and I remember seeing them on their first run, but it was that long ago that it's like seeing them for the first time again. Star Wars:The Clone Wars - I rather enjoy this animated show, and strangely I'm the only person I know who watches it. I can see it getting better and better as the season(s) continues. I hear George has over 100 episodes planned. I also am enjoying Fringe. As Woo said, it's almost a carbon copy of X Files, but if you're a fan like me you'll love it. Very conspiracy-driven and mysterious. And that bald man - I see him everywhere for split seconds: exiting an elevator, exiting an airport, it's almost like an interactive Where's Wally game trying to spot him each week. And I'd love some of this soup. It's divine! |

I dont watch a great deal of TV, but Im currently watching Heroes. I agree that the subsequent series havent been a patch on season 1, but I still think that 3 is a marked improvement on 2. For a start it has lots of topless Sylar... yum!
Im waiting for the start of Nip Tuck in the new year, the writers strike really messed up the last season and it feels like Ive waited an age for this series to start.

Heroes: Wtf happened to this show. The first season was 99% perfect. The other 1% being the very end and the non-confrontation between Peter & Sylar. Then season 2 was (imo) terrible and season 3 hasn't been able to get back to the hey days of Season 1 either and the series never can now imo.
Prison Break: Season 1 was possibly the single greatest season of any show I have ever scene. I think I loved Season 2 even more- if ONLY they ended the damn show just then! There was no need for Season 3 at all! I was enjoying 3 until those damn writers fucked everything up.
Dexter: Season 1- good. Season 2- amaaaaaaazing! I have only seen the first two episodes at the moment, but they were both good.
Desperate Housewives: Season 1 was very good, 2 not quite as brilliant as the first one, Season 3 was probably the best of the lot while 4 about the same quality was 2. I dunno what way Season 5 will go.
Fringe: From good old JJ Abrams (sp?) who gave us Lost (yay!), Alias (OMG yay!!) and Mission Impossible III (yeah....not so much). I dunno what to make of this yet. Also knowing how American TV works this'll probably end up cancelled in season 2 making the whole time I spent watching it a complete waste.
Pushing Daisies: Perfect in every way.
I also watched a bit of Dirty Sexy Money during Season 1 and it was a very enjoyable show, I have a bit of catching up to do.
Waiting for...
24: Season 1 was amazing. Season 2 is the best ever, but providing you ignore every Kim Bauer scene. Season 3 had it's ups and downs while Season 4, though not bad, is easily the most forgettable of them all. 5 is as excellent as the first two years while 6 is one of the worst Seasons I have ever seen on any show. Maybe the worst.
Lost: Loved 1, loved 2, most of 3 was bad, but it redeemed itself massively in the end and season 4 was terrific too.

For a start it has lots of topless Sylar... yum! lol, see now I got you with Cloud and thought he had come out just then. I agree with you, not about the topless Sylar thing, but that it's better than season two. |

I saw bits and pieces of Scrubs a couple of weeks ago, looks pretty funny maybe I'll watch it when it starts up again.
January is a big month for shows starting up again. Both Lost and 24 begin in January...
