Favorite "CAN'T MISS" shows?

GeorgeTH · 2005-03-05, 02:20 AM

This post must make all the TV executives happy - almost all the big shows are mentioned

Mt favorites:
1. Sopranos (have all DVDs)
2. 6 Feet under (have 1-3 on DVD)
3. Coupling (a very clever English show!)
4. The Elefant (german crime similar to Cold Case, shown here on SBS with subtitles)
5. the 'original' Law & Order, not so much SVU, and never "criminal intent" - can't stand the lead!
6. sometimes Without a Trace
and don't forget the Simpson if it's not a repeat of a repeat - always good for a laugh!

Can't remember the last time there was an Australian "not-to-be-missed" show on television... Personally I can go 2-3 weeks w/o turning the thing on (except international news), but my 'better half' is a bit of an addict!

I forgot, the one show that I caught every episode of every single series was Buffy The Vampire Slayer, and I think I also managed it with Dark Angel (the Jessica Alba series not the Buffy spin off), and all but the last season of Xena. But in these cases I watched them because I love watching women kicking shit out of someone, so these were more porn that TV shows for me. Plus there is the fact that Alyson Hanagan and Jessica Alba are two of the few women under 30 that I find attractive (although I don't think Alyson Hanagan is under 30 anymore).

I've really tried to cut back on the TV, but the can't miss shows are:

House
Enterprise
West Wing
Survivor
CSI (Vegas)
Battlestar Gallactica

My guilt shows (the ones I just can't stay away from, and that my wife won't watch {maybe that's why I do it .. LOL} ) are

Joan Of Arcadia
The Gilmore Girls

I waste too much time watching TV, but it's been a long cold winter
