I watch sports (football,baseball,basketball and MMA) other then that I watch Family guy, South park and house. If it doesnt fit into those I probably dont watch it as I would prefer to read a book over most of what is on TV.
Still mourning the loss of the Sopranos HBO series
Oh yeah, forgot to say in my original post. I thought Sopranos was OK (started strong and got weaker each season) but I thought The Wire and Deadwood (in that order) were the best dramatic series I've ever seen.
My main draws are Discovery, History and Cartoon Network. I can be seen tuning in to Fox once a week to watch House and I'll stray over to NBC to watch Medium. Oh and like Stoogee, I watch MMA, mainly UFC since I don't get the channel that airs WEC, but I'll watch any fight unless it is ridiculous.
Enjoy discovery and history chanels,football-baseball-most boxing although you don't see many good fights anymore on reg tv, financial channels ,comic channels (are they the same?) Showtimes The Brotherhood
Your tv tastes and mine are the same, Luko. The Wire and Deadwood were the best. In fact, just earlier this evening I bought the complete Deadwood dvds. (Already had The Wire.) And now I watch pretty much the same channels you do, with PBS thrown in. I've seen a lot of House in syndication lately. It's good.
the only series that I have got into watching recently were Dexter and Californication...both on showtime...both great shows for wholly different reasons. One undeniably funny and sickly perverted, and the other dramatic and sinisterly twisted. The nice part is that showtime had the great idea of showing them back to back on Sunday evenings. I'm sad to see that both series are over for the year, but I can guess that at least one, if not both will be back for more!
I hate reality TV as well. I've been watching a lot of Hero's, and Nip/Tuck. I'm also a huge Family Guy and Chappelle's Show fan. As far as "reality" TV, I really like Top Chef that's about it. I'm a fan of Invader Zim, Rocco's Modern Life, Ren and Stimpy, South Park, Drawn Together, The Simpsons. etc...
I have netflix and they let you stream movies and tv shows. I spent about a month watching the first 3 seasons of Heroes. I'm eagerly awaiting season 4 in February. I'm also a fan of Boston Legal, House, and HBO's Entourage.
Glad to hear someone with Urbi's well cultivated tastes loves The Wire and Deadwood, too. I liked Band of Brothers a lot, but it was very good, not great. These two are the best written shows I've ever seen. My wife loves Dexter, but I couldn't get into it. I feel the same way about Simpsons, like it, just not enough to make a point of watching it. I never got Family Guy or South Park, especially the latter.
After reading this thread, I started watching Band of Brothers for the upteenth time. It continues to bring a tear to my eye and a feeling of loss to my heart. There isn't anything I've ever seen on film that conveys the comraderie and love that an Army unit experiences in combat. It inspires me to call the guys I used to know and makes me wish I'd never gotten out.
