Current Television Obsession? Anyone?

I'm not much of a television-er. I try to stick with the wonderful internetz, but sometimes I deem television a worthy activity for my eyes. For such an occasion, I must decide on what is or is not appropriate entertainment. Recently I've taken to the enjoyment of the following:

The Mentalist (I love to watch Simon Baker mess with people. Amazing television.)

American Idol (A rarity. I like hearing people sing. It's a strange passion of mine.)

Glee (I saw the Pilot episode. It was amazing. I honestly can suggest this series as potential viewing material. When it starts airing. In September. Yes. Glee on Fox)

Heroes (However, this is a series I will only watch in marathon form. So, basically, I require the DVD box set. This is actually pretty typical of me.)

Finally, Family Guy (Though, I usually just have it on. I'm not always listening or even looking. Too busy to even pay attention to Peter Griffin. Oh how I hath fallen greatly.)

Or something.

Give it a go. Got any favorite televisioning? Yes? No? Come on, feed my thirst for random, frivolous knowledge.

I've not been watching much TV lately, but I'm very fond of Who's Line Is It Anyway (US), CSI (All) and Extreme Fishing. (Yes, I know what you're thinking. )

Other than that it's older series on DVD, or Youtube, like Band of Brothers, Mighty Max, Inspector Gadget, Family Guy, Wacky Races, etc, etc.

AH! Who's Line Is It Anyway. I remember it fondly. I watched it a lot back in the day, but not much lately. I could just never really stand the singing bits. They didn't suck, but they weren't...good. Not to me, anyway. And...well, CSI's a great show, but I like not having nightmares. Thanks.

Great older series! I was always a Looney Toons man, myself. Er...kid...

Looney Toons, Tom and Jerry (Before Tom's 'Grinch' stage), Astro Boy, Wacky Races, those were the days of decent animation. Sure, it was cheesey, but it had effort put into it and none of these modern, computer animated piles of steaming dog eggs could ever compete.


Another show I just remembered... Dexter! <3

I saw a commercial for some game a few days back and Dexter was all growed up in it. That had to have been one of the strangest, most amazingly super duper awesome sights my mind has ever comprehended or not comprehended.

I was/am dumbfounded.

Are we talking about the same Dexter here? Because, I'm talking about the series featuring a serial killer blood spatter analyst. xD

HAHA! Wow. No, definitely not the same Dexter. But I have been meaning to watch that show. It looks terribly fascinating. Shame I never keep up with televisioning. Shame.

It's really quite good. Lee (Rosencavalier <3) introduced me to it and I love it to bits. He has the first season on DVD, but we've yet to buy the others. It's black humor, but it's right up my alley. Lol.

Oh god, yes. Dexter for sure! A truely excellent show that is. I'm fond of any documentaries myself.

I only watch: Pretty Cure, Transformers Animated, Wolverine and the X-men, House, some game shows and random stuffs. I miss the older shows.

Dexter Season 4 is getting very good. Watched episode #4 the other night and was on the edge of my seat.

DOCTOR WHO!!!!

Heeeh, it is amazing. I loves my Tennant. I want more of hiiiiim. I cannot wait for Matt Smith either even though I will miss Tennant. The Christmas special looks sooo creepy and depressing. Darn ood!!

I like House MD, but other then that I'm not a TV person. I do enjoy the old sitcom Friends. It is a favorite of mine. It still shows re runs on channels but I have them all on DVD so yeah.

omg!!! i love Supernatural!!! misha collins is just adoreably! i als love dexter... its hard to get through the third season... breaks off a bit, but still love it. the books are way better though. they go it a crazier direction in it. for on, biney doesn't... well i don't want o ruin it for the yet to watch people. besides those i normally don't watch too much... oh yeah bones too but i've barely seen season five... can't wait till it comes out on dvd. oh so many great shows. and i agree also with bbs, house md is an awesome show.

I'm looking forward to season 5 of Dexter. #4 was pretty good.

I've been hooked on Mystery Science Theater! Great show.

DOCTOR WHO!!!!
