I loved the musical episode of Buffy. Now that was brilliant!

Gemini Cricket · 11-05-2007, 06:13 PM

I've never seen the following shows:

CSI - any of them
Any of the new Law and Order spin offs.
Heroes
Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie and series.
The Wire
The Sheild
Smallville
24

Oooh, GC: 24 is really good. I've only caught like 2 episodes of it ever, but it's really good. You just have to catch on that the whole series is time based.

24 is fun, when I am at my parents' house using the treadmill it is perfect to watch.

My faves are still Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives. Pushing Daisies (a hot male lead plus Kristin Chenoweth PLUS Ellen "Suddenly Semour" Greene? So wonderful) is cute too (ABC done good these days!).

30 Rock is even funnier if you work for GE.

Weeds has some of the best writing on TV.

I thought the first season of Heroes was pretty well written. I'm not gonna talk about stuff that's gone off the air, but there's been good writing on some recently departed stuff (Alex mentioned some, and I particularly agree on the HBO shows)

I don't watch TV ... but I will rent series DVDs of highly praised series. I just finished Heroes, and I may try some Smallville (though, not having seen any, there's too many seasons to catch up on). I'm not sure if I'm gonna bother with the 3rd season of Lost - I hear it went seriously south.

Someone suggested I stream Pushing Daisies from abc.com, but it means I'd still have to keep up with episodic TV. I much prefer to simply wait, and watch an entire season over a few days on DVD.

So keep the recommendations coming folks.

What seasons of 24 should I skip??

Obviously the writer's strike won't affect a non-TV watcher like me ... but I'm also glad that some series will get more than a week or two on the air to develop a style and perhaps a following before they are unceremoniously yanked from the schedule. A product shortage could be just the thing to ironically result in some good television.

I'll second that - I adore that show. I also love "The Riches" with Minnie Driver and Eddie Izzard, although they are on hiatus right now and probably for a bit longer now.

Actually it got much better as season 3 went on and by the end I was a full fangirl once more - a great recovery over the suckitude towards the end of season 2.
