I don't know why but I can't get into Big Bang Theory. Kaley Cuoco is hot too.

My Favs:
Monday -24, Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill
(Also watch: Chuck, Heroes, Medium, Secret Life of Amer. Teenager, Trust Me, Cities of the UW (History))
Tuesday -- Leverage, Privileged
(Also watch: Nip/Tuck, Mentalist, 90201, the Universe,How the Earth Was Made (History))
Wednesday -- Important Things w/ Demetri Martin,
(Also watch: Damages, Knight Rider, Criminal Minds, Lost, Life on Mars)
Thursday -- Office, Burn Notice
(Also watch -- Kath & Kim, 30 Rock, 11th Hour, Smallville, Supernatural)
Friday -- Battlestar Galactica, Psych, Monk
(Also watch -- Sarah Connor,Dollhouse,Numbers)
Saturday --Legend of the Seeker
Sunday -- none
(Also watch -- Rock of Love, Girls Next Door)

I do like Dexter, Weeds, etc. but I don't get HBO/Showtime and only buy the DVDs.

Looking at this list, I could probably cut down on a lot of them (Life on Mars, Knight Rider, Heroes, Medium, 90201, Supernatural (which I just started) and Criminal Minds (which I just started), but probably won't).

Re: What are your favorite current TV Shows?

1. Battlestar Galactica (it will be a sad day when it's no longer on the air)
2. Damages
3. Nip/Tuck
4. Wonderland (a shame that it's only eight episodes from years ago)
5. Dexter
6. Mad Men
7. Jeopardy

I also watch Lost simply because I've invested so much time watching it all these years that I want to see it to the end, but whether I'm currently enjoying it is up in the air. My word, the writing has been positively horrific since season three and has shown no signs of improvement. Plus, I'm greatly bothered by the fact that the showrunners want us to believe in all of this hocus-pocus when the actions of the human characters are even more unbelievable than the actual story being told.

Re: What are your favorite current TV Shows?

Don't Miss
Burn Notice
Psych

Watch Fairly Regularly
House. M.D.
Monk

Watch Periodically
[adult swim]
The Colbert Report
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart
The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson
The Late Show with David Letterman

During baseball season, I watch most of the Reds games that are televised. Since most of the shows I follow don't air new episodes during the season, those games are generally the only TV I watch during those months.

Re: What are your favorite current TV Shows?

Big Love (only can't-miss show currently airing...even though it's only periodic HBO)
Survivor
30 Rock
Desperate Housewives
The Unit
Fringe
Dollhouse
Primeval


Most everything else is either periodic (True Blood, Dexter) or we'll catch up on DVD (Lost, Prison Break, Big Bang Theory, Chuck, My Name is Earl).

Neither of us can stand The Office...and we've tried on several occasions. Bear in mind that we LOVED the original Ricky Gervais version). In our opinion, none of the NBC characters come close to the originals, and the writing is just painfully bad. My theory is that The Office is one of those "critically-acclaimed shows" that everyone pretends to like because they're supposed to. I know that it's one of the slowest-selling DVD sets we have...and we offer everything from highbrow (Masterpiece, etc.) to lowbrow (Weeds).
