General Discussion About Television Shows
« on: March 26, 2012, 07:55:20 PM »
I've kind of become a television junkie lately because I work my brain so hard during the day, that by the time I get home I'm numb and just need to daze into the television and let the stresses of the day flow out of me.

Television works. So what shows are your favorites? Care to discuss them?

I'm a big fan of The Good Wife, Missing, NCIS, Body of Proof, New Girl, Unforgettable, Happy Endings, Person of Interest, The Mentalist, Blue Bloods, The Firm, Desperate Housewives, Cougartown, and GCB.

GCB is seriously a favorite, but I'm not an uptight religious person who's unwilling to laugh and take jabs at the hypocrisy of some Christians. It's cute and wrong on so many levels and I'm entertained by it.

I hate to admit it but I only pretty much watch reality shows, I can't think of 1 network show I watch regularly.

One storyline that has me intrigued these days is the relationship between Ted Danson's character and Elizabeth Shue's character in CSI. Do any of you watch it? Many people think they've had an affair, but I don't. I think they are father and daughter. Anyone?

all those shows you listed the only ones I' ve watched are Person of Interest & Unforgettable. Unforgettable got the axe and won't be back for a 2nd season.

I Like Spartacus , Mad Men , Once Upon A Time , The Vampire Diaries, Alcatraz, Justified.

Shows I'm waiting on the return are Dexter , True Blood , Boardwalk Empire and Game Of Thrones.

No Cable TV , All those show available for free download on the interwebs.

I left out many shows I actually watch due to not wanting to embarrass myself, but I love Dexter and True Blood too. I have Vampire Diaries recording on my DVR every week because my son loved it, but I've continued to watch. It's admittedly started annoying me now though. I have gotten to the point that I either want Elena to die or be turned because her character annoys the heck out of me and is forever the victim. Ugh!

I'm sad to hear about Unforgettable. I've enjoyed it a lot. I suppose we will be left hanging then regarding who killed her sister, huh? That stinks. Person of Interest surprises me. I love how diverse the storylines are. And it always entertains. Love it!

Elena is rather self righteous but everyone has her back for various reasons such as Family, friends,  Estranged for now boyfriend is a vampire and the originals will protect her for now because she is the Doppelganger.

I really like the new Keifer Sutherland/Tim Kring show on Fox ('Touched').  The only other show I make an effort to catch live is The Big Bang Theory and Motorweek.

I also forgot to mention Covert Affairs. I like that Piper Peobo girl. She's adorable and the storylines are quick and fun.

There was a pineapple in an episode over the weekend.  It was on Lassiter's desk in the police station.

I like Domenick Lombardozzi (Ray) from back when he was Herc on The Wire -- he was also on Entourage for a few episodes.

The latest I saw for Hell on Wheels is that the Season 2 premiere date hasn't been determined yet . . .

All My "television" is via the internet. I'm boycotting Cable TV, I figure I'm saving at least $50/month. Watch all programs on my little 32" flat panel TV/monitor.
