If you're in for high quality juvenile/absurdist humor:

Tim & Eric Awesome Show
Robot Chicken
Superjail
Xavier Renegade Angel

So, pretty much anything (non Anime) on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. Not for everyone, but we really love those shows.

I haven't watched Apprentice since the third season or so but they'll keep the teams roughly equal by moving people from one team to the the other.

Well, Project Runway doesn't have a time slot or station yet for Season 6, so the answer is nada.

We tend to watch a lot of Animal Planet, but we've also really gotten into 'House' this year. I love Hugh Laurie. We also watch TLC shows like 'Little People, Big World' and 'Jon And Kate Plus Eight'- the mom on that show drives me crazy, but the kids are (mostly) cute. One of the older girls is kind of evil, so it's fun when the camera busts her smacking her siblings, etc. I sometimes feel a little weird about watching people (especially kids) on reality TV, but I console myself with the idea that they are very well compensated for it. I do wonder how messed up those kids are going to be, growing up in front of an audience and all, but their parents seem pretty together so maybe they'll turn out okay.

Oh, and on the subject of reality and Project Runway, Top Chef, when it's on. Currently between seasons, but I'm sure Bravo's repeating the heck out of it as per usual. It's the only other reality competition show we watch other than Survivor.

I've got a bunch of shows archived on my Tivo that I'm just getting around to watching. I'm five episodes into Fringe. Is anyone else watching this? Does it ever get good? I think I'm going to bail...

I bailed on Fringe after three episodes. Other people seemed to like it even from the beginning but I don't have a real sense on whether it ever improved.

I think Fringe got better. But it did seem to take a while.

I'm working thru a bunch of old stuff. Mad Men, I loved the 1st season, meh on the 2nd, but I'll watch the now-airing 3rd when its available.

Watched Season 4 of Lost. Would love to catch up completely. Can I get Season 5 shows anywhere on the net?

Am currently catching up on the 1st two seaons of Dexter. Love it. Not a Showtime subscriber, so I'll have to eagerly await the current season coming out on DVD.

Also from Showtime, I was going to watch the 2nd season of The Tudors, but the first disc left me meh ... so I'm removing it from my queue.

I'm also catching up on Season 4 of Dr. Who, and that will bring me up to date on that really fun show.

Next up, Arrested Development ... and then I think I'm gonna be done with TV for a while.

I can't wait for the next season of Weeds to come out on DVD, and for True Blood to start up again! Love those shows. But I don't watch any current TV. I only play catch up on shows highly recommend by a number of people who's tastes I've come to trust.
