I'm biting the bullet. It's going to be a reality filled summer for me. I've never watched "so you think you can dance?" "hells kitchen" or "last coming standing." I'll most sure watch the two new Simon Cowell shows too....Since I don't have HBO, no Deadwood for me..

I dont usually watch alot of tv anymore. Maybe 1-2 shows a week and sports. Im gonna take this slow summer season to try out some of these shows that people seem to love. Think ill give Lost and 24 a shot. I suggest catching up on anything that you missed this season.

Cartoons and paid religious programming (censoring the word "hell" helped me help you).

If you're not already a HOUSE fan, you can catch up on the past season which is being re-run two episodes at a time on Tuesday nights (Fox channel).

Definitely. If you haven't seen the first two seasons you should. There are lengthy reviews of both on this very site. But I'd say watch season 3 anyway. I'm sure it'll be great.

Nice catch. I'm there.

I'll also be sampling It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia when Fox re-airs some of the first season episodes and they start showing season 2 on FX.

ETA: For anybody looking for this and not finding it, it's actually called Dog Bites Man.

I will be watching Deadwood starting June 11. I will probably join netflix to see movies that I missed in the theater and did not want to buy.

Another vote here for Rescue Me. Best show on tv that hardly anyone knows about.

I just wanted to comment on the fact that you felt a need to censor the word "hell."

If someone has yet to discover the brilliance of Rescue Me, I won't waste my time recommending it to them.


The same goes for Deadwood, but that doesn't start this week.
