Whatcha watchin?

tracilicious · 03-16-2009, 12:50 AM

After years without much TV watching at all, I find I now have a whole lineup of show's that I really want to watch each week. Including the stuff that's on reruns right now, these are the shows I love:

Demetri Martin - this guy is funny!

True Blood

Weeds

U.S. of Tara - slow start, but it's gotten good

Flight of the Conchords

The Office

Scrubs

So, what are you guys watching? Am I missing anything fantastic?

Morrigoon · 03-16-2009, 12:53 AM

At the moment? The Comedy Central Roast of Larry the Cable Guy

LSPoorEeyorick · 03-16-2009, 07:08 AM

Good list, T, but you're missing 30 Rock!

Moonliner · 03-16-2009, 07:25 AM

30 Rock.

Been there done that, over it. Is anyone else as sick of Tracy Jordan as I am?

I agree that Demetri Martin is funny, I just haven't yet seen him be particularly funny on his new show.

I'm working through The Office, Quincy, Columbo, and Perry Mason via that magic of Netflix. For new TV The Amazing Race, Heroes, The Daily Show, The Soup and Craig Ferguson's pre-guest segments are the shows that I try to watch live or shortly after they air.

Giving Dollhouse a chance but am not particularly whelmed yet.

DVR picks up new episodes of various Law & Orders and I eventually watch them.

Morrigoon · 03-16-2009, 07:47 AM

We're starting to get caught up on House

Ghoulish Delight · 03-16-2009, 08:02 AM

Agreed on Demitri Martin. The show's really mediocre. Although the most recent episode, Safety, was the best yet, so I'm still giving it a chance to improve.

No, not sick of Tracy Morgan, and most definitely not sick of Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin.

Susan is really into it (mainly because it is Josh Whedon
vehicle), but I am kinda meh on it.

I have been loving Leverage (on TNT), but they currently aren't showing any episodes.

And I hope Sci Fi finally puts Eureka back on the air.

Alex · 03-16-2009, 09:40 AM

Yeah, my problem with Dollhouse is I'm still intrigued by the concept and the metastory they are revealing but the main story in each episode has been pretty bad in every episode. Since there's only about 5 minute of metastory development per episode that isnt' a good return on investment.

Oh, and I forgot the cable dramas:
Saving Grace (though I'm fading off on this one)
The Closer
Burn Notice

I've never seen more than a few snip-its of episodes before but I have been watching this seasons version of Celebrity Apprentice.

It's been interesting to see how F'd up these "celebrities" are at everyday tasks. Given that they have all done well in their respective fields, I was expecting them to be... Well I don't know what but certainly not the clueless twits I've seen so far.

So far the men's team has lost all the challenges. So I'm curious, does the show typically keep the teams as is down the the bitter end where in theory we could have a single guy VS the entire women's team or is there a survivor style merge/mix up at some point?
