What TV shows are people watching?

Frankie Boyle

I am watching but unsure whether I am enjoying. Certainly the most risque show put out on British T.V for a long time but the humour treads a thin line between puerile and genius subversiveness.

Definitely offensive.

I like it. I'm also impressed with some of the music that's played during the show. Easily the best for an MTV show. And Elizabeth Lee is absolutely gorgeous.

I loved the idea of Dead Like Me, and it could have been a bit better, but ultimately there was too much friction between the writers and the network, and it collapsed after two seasons. I refuse to watch the movie.

After a 24 hour marathon (which I only watched about 5 hours worth) I have come to the conclusion that Bruce Campbell/Same Axe is the ****.

Anybody else watching this? I hadn't seen it until last night but have watched all six (i think) episodes that have aired so far now. Fans of Arrested Developement will be happy to see David Cross and Will Arnett back on screen together and fans of The Inbetweeners will recognise Blake Harrison. Add Spike Jonze and even a guest appearance from snooker player Steve Davis and you have one of the more unpredictable casts I have ever seen. I guess thats what happens when you have an American (Cross) and English (Shaun Pye) writing team and set the show in London.

The Simpsons
Law & Order: SVU (SVU's the only one that keeps me interested tbh)
House
Mythbusters

really, anything on Discovery, FX, or USA

The history channel raises my eyebrow a lot. Never have been much on citcoms. I did for some reason always like Everbody Loves Raymond when it was on. For the most part I leave it on NFL network or ESPN. Whenever im not watching actual games. The occasional good movie when one comes on a movie channel. Miss the old days when MTV use to show unplugged sets of different artists.

Started watching it with my GF a couple of days ago, watched about 5 in a row. It's great, so far. Good Story being set up, and lots of eye candy

Man I love V mainly for the fact that Supergirl from Smallville is in it but Anna is pretty smoking also.

I'm waiting impatiently for The Cape to get started up this Sunday.

i watched all of last season and the new one just stared so far so good....i'm glad they are sticking with the absolute cheese of the original series....nothing better than cute lizard women beating the shit out of people....and the fact that they brought back the original queen bitch to play Anna's mother....

i also just started watching

so far it's hilarious....watching some crazy lady pour half a large bottle of pepper-corns into basically half assed scramble eggs and she called it quiche
