Hmm, what other shows are there that I really enjoy.

As I said earlier, 24 is the show I'm currently watching which I'm enjoying though it's not as intense as it was in the previous seasons.

Other shows I've really enjoyed are;

My Name is Earl. I just love that show, it's silly but not overly silly. It's just a nice warm hearted show, though the last season was a bit of a disappointment.

30 Rock. I just love that show. It's silly but it's just a fun show which is really light.

Californication: Just an awesome show. But the greatest thing about it is it's just so well written, and it's not fluffy.

Dexter: I can't believe that I left that show until only this year for me to get into it, but it's such a good show. Smart, well written, the characters are well developed, and as the seasons progessed you can see the development in the characters and how they progressively change. It has to be one of the best shows in recent years.

Eureka: I just tried it for the sake of it, and I eneded up really enjoying it. I'm not really a sci-fi type of person, but this show held my attention. A little fluffy, but a great little show regardless.

Weeds: A show that I did not expect to enjoy, but I really do. I'm not entirely sure why, but the fact that it's about a white mother dealing drugs in well respected community made it that much more interesting.

I'm not a big fan of Dexter. My wife loves it. I think it's okay, but I think they've been too willynilly with the way they treat Dexter's character. They don't really play him off as someone who really doesn't feel emotions very well. They seem to give and take his emotions whenever it feels like a good idea.

I think the writing is pretty so-so too. Their story lines each season have been extraordinarily predictable. I've predicted the general ending of each storyline about halfway through, and I can't say I've ever "called" it in pretty much any other show.

I think what Dexter is left with is a really great concept that's only executed in a so-so way. It's a better than average show due to the lack of other shows running in the same concept, but it could be much better with a bit stronger writing. I guess actually more strictly going by a realistic personality type for him would probably make the show worse as it'd make Dexter harder to like as a character, but I know a few people who are basically devoid of normal emotion due to different problems and they don't really do a good job of portraying the mind of such a person.

Eastbound & Down -> Season 2 on it's way!
Sopranos
The Wire
South Park
Almost any NBA game past and present
Cheaters


But as of now I'm more of a talk show listener - Opie & Anthony, Jason Ellis and some Howard Stern.

Grey's Anatomy, 24 (although I DVR it and save it for when I'm in the mood), House, Without a Trace, Cold Case, The Amazing Race, Monk, Psych, and The Closer are the shows I like enough to record. I'll watch any of the Law & Orders if I happen to catch them. I also like the cake decorating shows, Ace of Cakes and Food Network Challenge.

For old shows, I'm into MASH and Who's Line is it Anyway right now. I go in spurts - I was doing Everybody Loves Raymond, but then it got to the point where it felt like I'd seen them all recently so I had to go to something new. I have the DVDs for Lois & Clark, Buck Rogers, Moonlighting, and V, and I tend to pull those out over watching most other reruns.

You guys should check out southland on NBC on Thursdays at 10, I saw the premier and I though it was good enough for me to watch some more.

Entourage and Lost are my favorites. Sitcom wise I love Seinfeld.

Entourage is the perfect guy show in my opinion. Lost is so incredibly addicting. After the first 4 or 5 episodes I was hooked.

Seinfeld was never for me, with that show either people love it or hate it.

Yes I watch both. 90210 cannot compare to the greatness of One Tree Hill.

I just saw the latest episode of Heroes, didn't have time to watch it yesterday, and wow, that was perhaps the worst episode of the entire series.

Of the 4 pods of episodes they've had (with this being pod 4), the first was probably the best (despite the terrible, terrible ending). The second was a god awful trainwreck. The third was okay, and the fourth has been maybe my second favorite so far.

Though the most recent episode was the worst one ever.

The third season of Prison break was so disappointing. But I mean after the first season, what could they have possibly done. I think they should have never escaped to begin with, and just been captured and taken to another jail or something.

The third season was just horrible.

My download of mad men finally finished, so I may check it out sometime soon, but right now I have so much backed up on the DVR I'm not sure how quickly I'll get to it.

Seinfeld is awesome. I was having a crappy day yesterday and they showed a "highlight reel" of all of Seinfelds funniest moments and at the end of the show I was literally on the floor crying with laughter.

Also, I love Two and a Half Men.
