I have a few main shows which I keep switching my main focus on, the top three are Lost on ABC, Nip/Tuck on FX, and The Shield on FX. I of course still make certain to watch Family Guy and Futurama on Adult Swim on Cartoon Network but those don't really count in this thread.
Right now the most important show for me is LOST.... i absolutely can't wait for every Wednesday to finally come!
I also completely agree with the original post about the irritating adds and broken up story, I often find myself getting bored as add after add comes on, eventuall I'll change the channel and find something that catches my interest then when I realize my show is back on I have missed over half of it!

Lost is the prime example of a show that you have to watch on DVD to enjoy it. You definately cannot watch out of sequence. Same with Farscape, another of my favorites, but to a lesser extent. My brother got the old Batman animated series and Batman Beyond too, but I've only watched a few of those episodes. Those and CSI (original, I'll settle for Miami, not NY) are at the top of my "watch this" list.

Actually, the only shows I watch that are on TV now are CSI, Law & Order, Simpsons (infinately better than Family Guy, forever), Seinfeld, Late Night w/ Conan O'Brien, and Frasier. If I had cable, then I'd also add Myth Busters, the Shield (I saw the 1st season box set), The Daily Show, History Channel in general, and Star Trek TNG if that's even on anymore.

No! Well, OK I watched just one episode, but it was so superficial. A woman pretended that her husband beat her once so her brother actually stalked and killed him in cold blood. It was such an unrealistic motive.

I like Grissom anyway.

This evening TV4 begins to show the next segment of LOST. What annoys me is that they divide the seasons into two parts all the time. It would be better to show them all in one go. Now me and mum as time passes have forgotten what happened in the previous episodes, except for the shooting of Shannon.

Favourites: Lost; Prison Break.

Runners up (will not miss an episode): House, Desperate Housewives, CSI (original, not NY and certainly not Miami), Nip Tuck, and Smallville (embarrassed to admit).

I love CSI (Las Vegas, not New York, Miami, or the ill-conceived NCIS).

I love Futurama, and am excited that Fox is bringing it back. I'd like to rent the earlier seasons and watch them some time.

I also enjoy The Gilmore Girls a great deal, but I'm afraid our relationship is on the rocks. I have so much hate for the Luke's long lost daughter storyline.

I watch TV just a little too much. I watch CSI and Futurama whenever I can. I often watch The Simpsons (though I'm disappointed in the relative recent quality) and Family Guy (even though I think these episodes have gone down a bit in quality too).

They're bring that back!? Awesome, I loved that show! I've seen every episode and have been watching the reruns on the Cartoon Network. I think Dr. Zoidberg is hilarious. Hermes always cracks me up to. I've been thinking about getting a bearded dragon and naming him Nibler.

The show I watch now that I really don't like to miss is "My name is Earl". That show is so funny and i love the consept of karma and going back to write all his wrongs. Jason Lee is hilarious! I've seen all the movies he's been in and he makes me laugh in all of them. One word: Mallrats. His brother Randy is awesome. The big dumb guy with a heart of gold. It's cool he follows his brother in his quest to make his life better.

Conan is the best late night talk show host EVER. No offence to Mr. Carson but Conan just makes me smile. He makes me laugh so hard sometimes that it hurts and I have to change the channel to get a break.

I just can't get into Monk for some reason. I really like Tony Shaloub( I know i spelled that wrong, sorry). He was awesome on Wings. Another show I miss and havn't seen reruns for ages.

One show I can't wait to come back to USA is The 4400. I was glad when they decided to make it a series and not just end with the mini-series thing. That show keeps you guessing. Like, how is this person suppose to change the world for the better when all they do is kill people? I can't wait for it to start again.

You don't like Monk??
I'd have to say that Monk and Myth Busters are my favorite TV series. Both very cool.

Are Thain and Meriadoc the one & same members? I've been puzzling on that for a few days now... Hmmm...

The Sopranos finally starts its new season, MARCH 12, YOU GUYS!!!

Hey, also there's this new show starting in a few days on HBO about polygamy, called Big Love I think. A Mormon guy with three competing wives and seven kids; one big happy family. This oughta be interesting.

Agreed. He only needs to stare at the camera, and I burst out laughing.

The Simpsons is my favourite. I don't really watch tv that much, but there's some series I like. LOST is one of them. It just started again after a major break this wednesday, and I'm eager to see how it goes.
A new series here in Norway, is one called Supernatural, which is quite cool, though it's kind of dumb as well. Good entertainment.

Oh hell yeah! At first I wanted to name it "Mullahs in America" (hopes to god I dont get flamed) I was laughing SO damn hard during the trailer they had for it.

Personally, even though I dont like TV, I do like Myth busters!

I've seen every episode thus far. It's a different mini-story each episode, and it tries to maintain an arc, but IMO it moves too slowly. You'd like this if you liked Buffy and/or Angel. The production qualities are much better.
