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.

Aren't you forgetting something......

Oh. I see. Never mind.

tracilicious · 03-16-2009, 04:49 PM

How could I forget to list Heroes? I love it, and I think it's picked up a bit lately. And Jon. I will always heart Jon.

One that nobody else mentioned that I like is The Big Bang Theory. Little stereotypical in the characters but the 'cute dumb blond neighbor' role has fleshed out a lot more than I'd have expected, and each of the 4 geeks does have some 'redeeming human traits' (some more than others, though!)

katiesue · 03-16-2009, 06:02 PM

I love Big Bang, and How I Met Your Mother, and Rules of Engagement. Oh and cause I love crap teen drama - One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl.

Leverage
Burn Notice
In Plain Sight
Bones
Doctor Who
Heroes
Lost
Chuck
Primeval
General Hospital
Torchwood
The Catherine Tate Show
Ghost Hunters
Myth Busters
Chimp Eden

I've DVRd, but not watched, Trust Me. I'm also thinking about giving Ashes to Ashes (the sequel to the original Life on Mars,on BBC) and Castles a try.

I tried Fringe but the lead actress's voice annoyed the hell out of me.

Oh yeah, Mythbusters, we do still watch that when it's new. It's just not as good as it used to be - way too scripted and full of lame jokes. What a shame.
