Seinfeld would have been good if it were funny more than one out of 10 shows. I, frankly, thought it sucked. Different strokes, I guess.

Sports Night, now that was a funny show.

Tophat665 08-08-2003 02:32 PM

These days, the only things I go out of my way to watch are Samurai Jack, Dead Like Me, Iron Chef, and Gary the Rat, but I'll add football to that once the season gets rolling. But not on Monday. Madden blows goats. I have pictures.

Steveye 08-09-2003 07:55 AM

Sopranos

Delirious 08-09-2003 12:34 PM

I've been watching dead like me recently, and I thought it kinda sucked up until recently when they added that blonde chick from 24 to replace the noxzema girl. Another good Showtime series is Family Business --

RoadRage 08-10-2003 10:17 AM

Dead Like Me (Showtime)
Acme Hour (Cartoon Network)
Sportscenter (ESPN)

Cable TV? Only one real show I've been watching, The Wire on HBO. There isn't much else because everything else now is repeats.

hobo 08-10-2003 12:25 PM

Stargate SG-1 if you get the Sci Fi channel. It is the best sci-fi show ever. Like most sci-fi though, you need to watch it all from the beginning to actually know what's going on.

Family Guy on Cartoon Network (i think that's the channel) is hilarious.

Skip the reality TV stuff, its like 99.5% extreme crap.

drawerfixer 08-10-2003 08:37 PM

Monk
American Chopper
Monster Garage
Sportscenter
JAG reruns on USA
Real World
- It's a bad show, but I can't stop watching!

Spritebox 08-10-2003 08:38 PM

Family Guy

Rodney 11-01-2003 02:46 PM

Old thread, but what the hell...

Monster Garage -- they do amazing stuff to people's houses, and I like watching blue collar types bicker together. Discovery

Good Eats -- best food show on television. Funny and educational. Food Network

Stargate SG-1. I like science fiction anyway, but this is also almost a comedy at times. Like somebody said, you have to watch it from the beginning to understand it. But Sci-Fi shows the first five seasons in four-episode blocks each Monday evening, in order. So just wait until the beginning rolls around and start there.

Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. Like it a lot, but I think they need new gay guys. The current ones use the same schtick every week, and it's getting a little old. Bravo

The Dead Zone, when it's on. USA

Trading Spaces, but mainly for Frank Bielec. TLC.

Garry Schandling reruns on Bravo -- never saw them before.

I don't have pay cable, so I have to skip all those. Used to like Junkyard Wars, but the American version now officially sucks.

You must mean Monster House. :)
Monster Garage is great, as well. They take stock vehicles and transform them to make them perform tasks, like a doughnut maker, a lawnmower, a streetsweeper, and other more cool things.
The deal is, they still have to look stock.

H12 11-02-2003 03:45 PM

South Park
The Chappelle Show
Tough Crowd
Daily Show With Jon Stewart
Crank Yankers
Friday Night Stand-Up On Comedy Central
Family Guy
Monday Night RAW

King Of The Hill

Those are the only shows I look forward to, though I rarely get lucky enough to regularly tune in for many of those shows.

cjayemail 11-02-2003 07:36 PM

most of the shows that air from 10-11 on comedy central
I have lost all faith in other chanels, sometimes catching some spike tv goodness. The appeal of the average sitcom has faded for me, too much bullshit piled into most of them for my likings

Crazy/Beautiful 11-08-2003 01:05 PM

The Daily Show with John Stewart, Crank Yankers, on Comedy Central
Johnny Bravo, Adult Swim and Space Ghost Coast to Coast on Cartoon Network

Finchie 11-22-2003 12:59 PM

The Shield, the OC, and Friends are the only shows I watch on TV.

santafe5000 11-22-2003 05:56 PM

I dare not miss "Coupling" on BBC/America. This is the original that was copied to US network show. 100% better, in my opinion.

I LOVE The Shield. Michael Chiklis plays Vic Mackey flawlessly.

They are replaying the first two seasons every tuesday night at 10pm est. Check it out.

Season 3 begins sometime in early 2004, and I can't wait. :)

I can live without food and water, but I can't live without watching Sex and the City on HBO. I have every episode on tape, and have watched them all multiple times. Call me a SATC fanatic!

bltzkriegmcanon 12-19-2003 09:05 PM

if you get tech tv with your cable package, i don't think you should ever have to watch anything else. I mean

Robot Wars - gotta be the best, grungiest show to have a good laugh at
X Play - a good show for gaming, not much for t3h funny though
TechLive - good for news about stuff going on in the world of technology
The Screensavers - these guys are awesome, they're teaching the world not to be so fuckin stupid about computers and related items. I love it.

Lasereth 12-20-2003 07:25 AM

Robot Wars -- 3 2 1 ACTIVATE!!! Ok, sorry. I love the show!
Junkyard Wars -- Rigged, but still entertaining!
X-Play -- More entertaining that useful.
Real TV -- Need I say more? :)

-Lasereth

diergray 12-21-2003 09:38 AM

Sunday - Simpsons and Alias
Monday - Everybody Loves Raymond, Monster Garage, Monster House
Tuesday - 24, MI-5 (this is a much watch show!)
Wed - Smallville, West Wing, Enterprise, South Park
Thursday -> Saturday - Use Tivo to watch any of the above

A lot of people mentioned some good shows on Tech TV, I would also add Invent This to the the list.

Steffi 12-21-2003 09:18 PM

The OC and Friends are the only shows that I have to watch each week. Otherwise, lately I've been trying to watch 30 minute meals on the Food Network.

Alright if someone was holding a gun to my head asking me to choose between either The OC or American Idol I don't know what I'd do. Don't laugh! haha

Along with those, it's definately The Real World, Newlyweds (funny shit), American Chopper, Forensic Files (and the fact that I don't get CourtTV right now is killing me) and The Apprentice.

CinnamonGirl 01-26-2004 02:45 AM

Sigh...I miss cable TV. We get AFN here, and all the shows are a season behind.

When I'm visiting home, though, I'm all about VH1 (huge Behind the Music and I Love the 80s fan), Comedy Central (especially the stand-up), and the Discovery Channel.

I'll usually catch a few Buffy reruns as well, but fX cuts them all to hell to make room for more commercials. :|

Adult Swim
