I find myself watching "House" quite a lot. It is one of the few shows that does not insult my intelligence.

Really? your doctors go to your house and scrape for mold, do they?

I am finding myself more and more on hulu plus, rewatching the xfiles, watching 30 rock for the first time. I hate to admit I am liking the new version of Hawaii 50.

I love "The Middle," "Modern Family," "The Office" to name a few - probably because I can relate to many of the characters... plus I'm in love with Patricia Heaton (my possible future wife - that is unless Dana Delaney says "yes" first)

ADDENDUM: Forgot to include Dexter!

Dexter, Arrested Development (DVDs). Modern Family is good, too.

I can't think of anything currently running that I watch. My favorite of all time has to be Rome.

"Rome" was amazing

I've found myself addicted to the following programs recently:

Auction Hunters
Storage Wars
Pawn Stars
American Pickers
American Restoration

I'm a sucker for antiques. I spend my time at thrift stores and garage sales, and when I'm home I'm watching people buy them on TV.

in general (pardon the expression) ... can you still find deals at thrift stores and antique shops? it seems to me that once thrifting became "vogue" that thrift stores turned "vintage" and the prices went up 500%. i don't even bother now. i just head to the clearance rack at REI and the occasional sale at Kohl's for clothes. i might need to buy some furniture soon but i might just go the lame cracker route and buy Ikea. i just really like masterfully shaped laminate board and quadrangles

I like "House", but I'm not just into doctor shows these days. But I sure don't hate on House-lovers. Hugh is as good as it gets, lol.

Call me traditional, but I just can't get into a show about a serial killer. The Sopranos were about as close as I could get, and that was tough. Yet there are people whom I respect who live and die by the show, so I might give it a go.

I love Swamp People. Willie is one tough dude and is my favorite. (the missing tooth adds to his character)

My cable provider featured HBO for free last weekend, and it was running Boardwalk Empire episodes back to back. I normally revile folks who binge on TV for hours, but I couldn't help it. Steve Buscemi is AWESOME, as I'm sure that many of you know. I adore the music and the women's fashions of the 1920s. Even if you didn't care for the acting (which is wonderful), there is so much period eye candy.

Also, I got caught up on Treme, which I would recommend to anyone. Once again, great music!

I'm still a sucker for St. Elsewhere, which is probably my favorite broadcast show of all time. William Daniels was the master at playing supercilious,arrogant jerks.

It's actually "somewhat" innocent enough - depending on one's perspective

It's the "real deal" - TV networks as well as movie studios always send out their products to TV/movie reviewers... some reviewers copy the DVD's and leak them to the public

There are attempts to digitally encrypt the digital media to try and track down the reviewers who leak the stuff, but there are always ways around it.

I don't get cable so I download all my shows, hence, no commercials. Does Dexter have commercials even though it's on Showtime?

See attached mp3 for my slightly modified version of the eery Dexter theme music...

What a great show that was. I still remember the snow globe in the final episode.

With all the reality crap on TV today, it's hard to remember there was once a time when the networks produced quality stuff and stuck with it.

Christopher Lee and Britt Ekland in her prime made it a great film.

My favorite show is probably still "All in the Family". I was just a kid when AITF first aired, but have grown to appreciate it over the years. It had plenty of dud episodes, and laugh tracks can get annoying, but I always liked the way silence was used to let the weight of a scene carry for awhile. It helped that Carroll O'Connor could change expressions from foolish to indignant to confused in a manner of seconds. Favorite episodes include "Two's a Crowd", "Archie's Bitter Pill (part 1)", and "The Stivics Go West".

Because of it's initial low ratings, St Elsewhere was supposed to be cancelled in the spring of '83, but somehow got a reprieve and ended up being on until 1988. In today's TV climate..it doesn't get that second chance-probably gets axed after 13 weeks.
