hahahahaha

think i might give sons of anarchy a go, although it looks like it might be too... serious

How do you people have enough time to watch ten different shows on a regular basis?

A lot of these shows don't run at the same time. Also DVR/d0wnl0@ding means you can watch at your convenience.

SOA isn't all that serious...just damn good. and season 2 has henry rollins.

How is SOA this year? I thought the season 2 finale was really stupid, has it recovered?

yeah SOA definitely has plenty of moments of levity, oddball characters, goofiness, etc, in addition to the tons of violence and misery and shock value and drama. i think that season 3's been pretty good so far, although it feels kind of mellow compared to season 2 (which i devoured on DVD in the space of like a week so that i'd be caught up to watch a new episodes and was kind of overwhelming but awesome).

i'm pretty much an unemployed stay-at-home parent. but yeah pretty much any show that I can watch at my leisure OnDemand, i do, and only make a point to watch a couple of must-see shows while they're actually on.

agreed, first few episodes of season 3 left me bored and wanting some ass kicking. although season premieres ending...whoa.

How do you people have enough time to watch ten different shows on a regular basis?

I just have a really long Netflix list, and don't mind at all being a year behind the rest of the world when it comes to the shows I like. Rarely watch more than an episode or two of anything a night, and only watch maybe four nights a week, on average. (Only shows I actually watch while they're on are Meet The Press and Face The Nation on Sunday mornings, which I probably should've honorable-mentioned, at least. Never think of them on threads like this, since they've never been in my Netflix queue.)

amazing race
breaking bad
community
cougar town
family guy
friday night lights
how it's made
it's always sunny
NOVA
supernatural

Seriously, Regular Show on Cartoon Network is top ten for me now.

i presume the bluejay and the raccoon are recovering addicts and the park is a halfway house

Realise I left Psychoville off my list.

the only ones i truly go out of my way to watch are FRINGE (it really has gotten so much better this season) and Doctor Who. should say House too, but i am losing interest.

I've never ever watched House. I suppose I should try it one day, people seem to like it.

I've grown to be a big fan of House, but I'm starting to wonder where this season will lead. I mean, once they crossed the line of House and Cuddy getting together... I worried that a lot of the driving tension outside of the weekly medical mysteries would wear off, but they've done a fairly good job so far this season. Also ready for more Thirteen.

Stuff I watch that isn't quite top ten: South Park, How I Met Your Mother, SNL, Switched At Birth, Eagleheart. Haven't seen enough episodes of the new HBO comedies to say one way or another.

Mad Men
Breaking Bad
Hockey Night In Canada
NHL on TSN
HIMYM
