Peep Show

whatever Tim And Eric are doing at a given time

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. Suddenly realizing that, despite my love of the format, I'm barely watching any current one-hour serialized dramas.

breaking bad
louie

game of thrones
it's always sunny in philadelphia

I pulled waaaaaaay back on my Homeland praise after that finale. I'll probably still watch it when it comes back.

Top ten running or on hiatus, in no order, would probably be It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Breaking Bad, Venture Brothers, Louie, Justified, Game of Thrones, Workaholics, Mad Men, Archer, Modern Family

smash

huh, thought it'd be more than 5

i'll make a list at some point today but would like to remind everyone that Metalocalpyse is back

Billy On The Street is a goofy man-on-the-street pop culture quiz parody on Fuse, really stupid show but also pretty consistently one of the funniest things i've watched lately

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

hmmm...maybe throw in Hoarders and South Park and Colbert and that's about it. And I suppose I still watch some of the Sunday animated shows on Fox occasionally, but strictly out of habit.

Parks & Rec is the only show I watch

The Big Bang Theory (after previously resisting it, ive grown to like it now, well its on all the time anyway)
Game Of Thrones
Mad Men
Breaking Bad
Match Of The Day
South Park
The Savage Eye (irish satirical show)
Community (watched the first 2 seasons)
Nip/Tuck (is this still going? ill watch it if its on)
Portlandia (i like what ive seen but its not on tv over here)

oh yeah Eastbound and Down as well

and Peep Show

Oh, you know what on hiatus show I totally forgot about? Boss. I dug that way more than I expected to.

finally started watching eagleheart. so funny!

Right? It's kinda sad that I don't hear more people talking about it. Chris Elliott has a show again! And it's really funny!

I think the only shows I really like that are on right now are Workaholics and Portlandia. Shows that I've sort of forgotten about, but which I'm sure are as good now as they were when I used to watch them: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Top Chef.

Hoarders

oh and storage wars

Oh Chris Elliot has a new show? Huh!

After watching previews for The Virgin Diaries last night I am pretty excited about that too. Seriously. Skippy and his "wing mom".

http://tlc.howstuffworks.com/tv/virgin-diaries/videos/skippy-and-wing-mom.htm

SYTCD
Deadman Wonderland
Eagleheart
Childrens Hospital
Eric Andre Show
Adventure Time
Family Guy
American Dad
NTSF:SD::SUV:::
Young Justice

... okay looking at that list, I am a fucking absurd person; how are you going to be almost 40 and have almost all of your favorite shows being on Cartoon Network

Sounds sensible to me!

it's really the only reasonable way to go
dan, if you like adventure time, i find regular show to be a much smarter version of same with more, like, teenage motivations

what are you going to like instead, mad men? zzzzzzz

oh Regular Show is great too, it's in my top 20 (along with Green Lantern, Ben 10, ATHF, Black Dynamite, Boondocks, etc etc basically this summer I've only watched Cartoon Network/Adult Swim, SYTYCD and tennis)

looking forward to this fall with new episodes of the critical darling NBC sitcoms and the Wed night ABC juggernaut

also it's sort of terrible but I really like Grimm? and looking forward to Mob Doctor and all of its Rapaporticy

I second Pillbox's list from upthread, except to subin Community for basically anything else.

New Additions: Eagleheart,Comedy Bang Bang, Small Town Security, reruns of Hard Knocks on NFL network
I may start Sunday Best again.

nooooooo these 2 shows are some of the worst things on television

i wouldn't ride or die for bang bang, but it's fun and i love reggie
explain your beef w/STSecurity

hate reality tv, hate reality tv that prods and pokes at people who are weird, if im going to watch that shit i might as well just roll with my big fat gypsy wedding or w/e

Love that one too.

bobs burgers
happy endings
louie
mad mans
sytycd
proyecto runway
himym
Friday night dinners
snl
parks and rec

xp to jjj: i entered the show with that philosophy, figured i'd watch it once and then turn off.
i have an abiding hate for "har har look at the freak tv" and i assumed it would be reno 911 THE REALITY SHOW
that show started oddly, twisted a bit and then suddenly got very very inclusive. there's no poking of fun by the end of the first episode and most of the standard reality tropes are quickly subverted. there's a no-judgment, hanging with the crew feel that makes it seem almost like a straight up scripted drama. the characters are likable, human and basically kind at heart and so is the direction.
if you didn't get all the way through the first episode, you should try it.

and i say this as someone who finds even fucking TOP CHEF inhumane

like the big reveal at the end of episode one seemed pretty wrongheaded and creepy considering the obv setup for the whole show was "look at these bumpkin morons" so instead of being an interesting insight it felt a lot more like they were using the transgendered officer as a "whoa check out the freak" signpost which i found stomach turning.

hate reality tv that prods and pokes at people who are weird

This is the only kind I like tbh. People fascinate me. idk. Not all shows like that are making fun of the people though some totally are, yes. I know it's mostly shitty tv but I'd rather watch that than all the "funny" sitcoms people love round here. *cough* community *cough*

I've never seen the show you're talking about though. I'm just realizing that the things I do watch (Hoarders, Gypsy Wedding etc.) fall into that category.

Oh I like Girls and Louie too. Those are good.

xp we got different things from that reveal. having grown up in the bible belt, i didn't think they seemed like bumpkin morons, they felt like very familiar types to me.

also the gentleness of that reveal, the obvious courage it took for diesel to do it and the weird mix of frustration, love, derision and pride that the chief took in forcing it forward was kind of amazing

the second ep explores a kind of fluid and nearly abstract sexuality among the characters without guilt or jealousy in a way that i've never seen on television. there's no freakshow elements far as i can see, a lot of exhibitionism but everyone appears to me to be accepting and grateful for the opportunity. the direction is treading lightly and doesn't rubberneck at obvious points; i also like the cartoon backstory bits.

What channel is this show on?

AMC
NOT ON DISH
i dunno, i think it's got the potential to be special tv.
