What's the biggest "watercooler show" at your work/school?
 

After all the talk around me at work this week, it got me thinking of the watercooler question (and the scene from this week's Office had a little to do with it too ;) ). This isn't "what's your favorite show" or "what show do you talk about the most", it's: "what TV program gets the most collective discussion around your workplace or classroom?"

Just to make it an unofficial survey: also include whether it's an office, school, or whatever it might be.


In my case, I work in an office and the show is one I don't even watch: American Idol.

It was Lost but since the long break and this weeks repeat, it's turned into The Office.

Lost, but I don't watch it.

Idol or Scrubs

Where I work it's <i>The West Wing</i>. Several people watch <i>Desparate Housewives</i> too. I work in an office, FWIW.

At my office, we have a TV playing constantly. The biggies are American Idol and any of the L&O's.

I'm a law enforcement dispatcher, and Tuesday nights as many of the cops as possible wander in to watch AI.

Amazing Race.

Lost

American Idol and Lost

Amazing Race and The Apprentice (and The Bachelor for the womenfolk)

24 and Lost

American Idol - which I don't watch, so I have a pretty quiet time at the water cooler.

24 (filler since just typing 24 is too short of a message)

I don't notice anyone at work talking about TV

Idol & Lost

Amazing Race and Apprentice

in the lab i am currently working in, it is definitely Lost and The Amazing Race.

Lost and Desparate housewives...gets the 'watercooler' chat from my co-workers.

I guess American Idol, but there are only like two or three people there who watch it. Usually, it seems that those I work with hardly like to watch the same shows. Smallville was the only show the most number of us ever watched, but most of my fellow viewers have quit or are seeking success elsewhere.

American Idol, Lost, The Amazing Race and 24.

Madigan Men

I work for a really small company but we always talk about the Amazing Race which replaced Survivor around the "watercooler".

One co-worker and myself are always talking 24 and Amazing Race. The finance department talks about the Apprentice.

Most of my coworkers don't watch the same shows that I watch. The usual discussion revolves around the Amazing Race or Survivor, while I'd rather talk about Lost or Carnivale or Deadwood or Arrested Development.

Maybe this is why nobody there likes me very much. ;)

The Amazing Race and thanks to my constant pressure to get everyone to watch, Veronica Mars.
