What’s your favorite thing to watch on TV?

Daily | October 8th, 2008 by Danielle LaPorte

“Television: chewing gum for the eyes.” – Frank Lloyd Wright

Carrie says: 30 Rock, Mad Men and Charlie Rose. Any sports event with the best in the world from football to track and field to horse jumping!

Danielle says: Grey’s Anatomy and Charlie Rose. And, please don’t think less of me, but if I come across Gene Simmons Family Jewels reality show, I just can’t pull myself away.

So You Think You Can Dance (U.S.), Mad Men, American/Canadian Idol, Survivor, The Apprentice, Dexter, any of Sarah Richardson's design shows, Relocation-Relocation (British), The Office (U.S.), Lost. I seem to be attracted to quirkiness as well as anything that showcases 'the human condition' -hence, the competitions. I just find them compelling.. watching how people interact with each other and what motivates them, etc. Of course my next favourites will be anything my daughter produces and she has several irons in the fire.. partnering with the likes of 'A' list director, JJ Abrahms.

"How I Met Your Mother," "Project Runway," and "Mad Men" are all shows that I set aside time to watch, especially since I don't have a DVR. My roommate and I also got hooked on the trainwreck that was "The Two Coreys."

I rarely watch TV but have a weakness for Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. I don't believe for one second it gets done in a day but adore the makeover aspect of it.
I would love to watch a series on iconic dress designers especially Giorgio Armani well actually just a 2 hour doco on him would be cool.
big breaking new stories are amazing too. The big Tsunami came just after we finally got CNN and BBC and we were glued for days. The global village aspect of big news stories hold us fascinated.
If Carrie and Danielle get a TV show I would make TVNZ life hard until they gor it here

Global National News and Bones. Oh, and the Rick Mercer Report!

Unfortunately, North American shows are delayed anywhere from 2 months to 2 years before I can see them over here. And I have to watch my global news and Rick via the internet.

Why oh why don't the networks let us watch what we want, where we want, when we want?

The Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother. But I do prefer TV on DVD. Sitting through a full season on a weekend day is the best way to waste some time when my brain needs a break.

Lipstick on your Collar (My personal fave Euan Mc Gregor before he was famous).

Traci, that IS the best way to watch a television series, as my brother always reminds me. I watched the entire runs of HBO's "Sex & the City" and "Band of Brothers" and coincidentally, "Upstairs Downstairs", that way several years ago when I was pregnant and then up all night nursing an infant.

We don't actually have cable but that does not stop me from watching new episodes of "Lost" when it is airing. There's something addictive for me about the whole completion of the story line after 6 years thing and especially that unless you watch it regularly it's easy to miss what's going on. But mainly I love it for the adventure and drama and sci-fi and spiritual elements it brings.

I will watch pretty much anything that's on Bravo, but I'll admit a particular affinity for reality television like Project Runway, Top Design and especially Top Chef! Oh yes, and really well written shows (Buffy, Firefly, Gilmore Girls, Sports Night), but sadly I never seem to find them unless they're not commercially successful or they are already off the air. Then I get to watch them on dvd at my leisure. :-)

I don't watch tv - no,really - we haven't had reception for over 3 years. (My husband was addicted to it, so we took drastic measures.) Most of the time, I couldn't care less.

But in a case like this questions, I feel terribly culturally illiterate. I don't even recognize the names of most of the shows you guys mention, let alone what it's about or what's happening on it.

<sigh>

Discovery Channel. The Unit, NCIS, and House. I generally watch the shows that have some really dramatic interactions between the characters, but are totally fiction. I think reality shows take advantage of the failings in average people for their thrills, which I have trouble supporting. I absolutely detest shows which "play females as neurotic, self serving, or stupid." Lately, there seems to be too many of them.

We don't have cable either. So, if and when I get the hankering for TV, I go to the CTV website and stream Grey's Anatomy (although if Meredith keeps up her whining like she did during the season premiere, I'm done).

Oh, and we stream Grand Slam tennis tournaments.

The only show I watch on a regular basis is Heroes. My all-time favourite show was Babylon 5, a sci-fi show from the late '90s.

On the other hand, I currently work as an editor for movie and TV subtitles, so I occasionally catch bits and pieces of many shows, both good and horribly, horribly bad.

Two shows I love and hate - Coronation Street, the only soap I watch and House. Can't stand them, can't stay away from them. It's like being addicted to a man who's no good for you.

I love Grey's Anatomy, lots of stuff on PBS Detroit, CBC Sunday Morning with Carole MacNeil and Evon Solomon, French Food at Home, The Barefoot Contessa, Ricardo, Re-location, Re-location, House Hunters. Reruns of The Sopranos and Crossing Jordan while I eat my breakfast.

Jeez...I didn't realize just how much TV I do watch.

Friday Night Lights.

Watch it. I mean it. Rent the first season on DVD, and you will be blown away. It is one of the most perfect seasons of television of all time.

With that very important message out of the way - I truly love television. I think there is so much art being produced these days. I can pretty well only watch it on DVD, because I can't handle commercials. Favourite shows: FNL, The Office, 30 Rock, The West Wing, Six Feet Under, Dexter...

I love TV. Unapologetically.

When the TV is on, 99% of the time it will be set to a children's channel such as Disney, Noggin, Sprout or early morning PBS. My favorite show is "Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks". That Irish pig is always up to something!

The only time I regularly sit down to watch TV is Sunday night when I allow an indulgence in PBS' "Masterpiece Theatre" after my daughter has gone to bed. That's "Me Time" when I have a glass of wine and give myself a manicure. I loved The Complete Jane Austen series earlier this year. When we subscribed to HBO, "Real Time with Bill Maher" was a must watch. I have followed Sci Fi's "Battlestar Gallactica" as well, a surprisingly compelling drama, and have watched "Lost" here and there. Other than that, it is channel surfing when a free moment arises. I wish I could sit around and watch the History Channel and Food Network as I pleased!

I did have one very guilty pleasure earlier this year: Bravo's "Make Me a Supermodel" ... I stumbled across it and was absolutely fascinated with and charmed by some of the contestants. Bravo shows have the ability to hook you from a curious distance and reel you in.

Don't have a TV. I lived in Europe for three years, and just stopped watching - never recovered the habit. Sometimes I watch "The Daily Show" online. Otherwise I rent old movies to watch on my laptop. Like DebbieRodgers, I feel culturally illiterate in a conversation like this one or when I'm with friends or co-workers who are discussing a current show. BUT - I get a lot more time for reading! And if forced to choose between TV and a book, I choose the book...

My favorite thing to watch on TV is "John Edward - Cross Country" he is a medium. I usually record the show and watch it by myself because I just sob through the whole thing. A good sob.

I also really enjoy the reality stuff - Survivor, Amazing Race, Extreme Makeover - Home Edition. I am totally into design shows, too. My very very favorite was the BBC production called "Changing Rooms."

TV is my guiltiest pleasure! But let me prefacet this by saying I don't actually "watch" TV - I listen to it while I'm doing other things. I love all the reality shows on Bravo and Fox, Dramedies like Gray's Anatomy and Boston Legal, British imports, adventure stories like Lost, Heroes, and Prison Break, family sagas like Brothers & Sisters and Friday Night Lights and most especially The Sopranos, The Food Network and HGTV, even the daytime judge shows, The Today Show, and The View. My 80% SS word is sophisticated, but you sure couldn't tell that from the TV I watch. Thank Heaven for Tivo!

Mad Men is still my top US show, and like Carrie I'm also a big fan of 30 Rock. However, number one overall has to be Gavin and Stacey, a brilliantly funny and quirky British comedy.

Well - as others have mentioned, my hubby and I usually rent the entire season of a show when it comes out on disk, and end up staying up til the wee hours of the morning as we polish off a season in a few days - I adore TV this way (and should probably look into getting that recorder box thingy-ma-jig). Some of my favorites: Six Feet Under, Weeds, Mad Men, Grey's Anatomy, Dexter, Heroes, House and 24.

For regular 'real time' TV, I usually only manage to catch Jon Stewart and the Colbert Report (and have seen most of the Family Jewels shows too). Now, for the really embarrassing part - in the past few months, the only thing we manage to sit down and make a point of seeing is....The Hills. I can't explain why, and I'm not sure I really want to know. But there, it's out, I've said it...(blush).

I have to say I've never thought about streaming from the internet - that's an interesting idea. My wish list includes a PVR so I can watch the shows I like when it fits my schedule.

Doctor Who, BBC's Robin Hood series, Heroes, True Blood, Torchwood, and superhero cartoons(which I watch with my mom). Old good movies. New good movies. Overall, though, I don't watch much tv...I'm at least half a season behind on most of that first batch, and it's not terribly high on my to-do list.

I am always a sucker for re-runs of Friends & Seinfeld.
ANY good comedian is tops with me.
Love Greys Anatomy & the Amazing Race too.
I don't have extended cable, but when I can, I will watch Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, or What not to Wear.

I've found in the past year that I have very little time and even less patience for tv. I don't have cable tv and I won't adjust my schedule to catch a program. That said, there are two shows that I do enjoy - CSI (all of them except Miami - Yuk!), and Criminal Minds. If you see a theme here, you'd be right. I have a fascination with the workings of the criminal mind and, once upon a time I wanted to be criminal profiler, so these are both right up my dark alley.

I enjoy TV on Wednesday and Thursday nights. America's Next Top Model, Project Runway, Top Design. Grey's Anatomy on Thursday! And my husband an I occasionally enjoy Man vs. Wild, the History and Science channels. I would like to say that we never watch TV but after a long day I can't find anything wrong with zoning into good, easy entertainment. But a good book would over rule all of the above!

'Deadliest Catch' on Discovery Channel. I can't explain why the behind the scenes of Alaskan crab fishing is fascinating but it is! I highly recommend it.

yes, it's an unbelievable show. Reality TV at it's best. Those men (and the film crew!) are amazingly-crazy and tough.

I thought I was over Grey's but I'm hooked again, also love Private Practice and Lipstick Jungle when I remember! As for daytime, as I work from home I will usually check what Oprah and Martha are doing that day and watch them maybe once a week. I do enjoy watching the Great Canadian Food Show though sometimes when I eat my lunch as the host Carlo Roto is delicious! He's sexy and witty one of my pretend boyfriends!

p.s. Danielle, don't be ashamed of Gene (he lives up here now by the way) I got kinda hooked on the Rock of Love one with Brett Michaels last year! I guess it was the inner rocker in me.

What is it with the makeovers. They are so compelling. I have not seen the USA version of what not to wear but saw a book by Clinton ans Stacey (did I get those names right). They appealled to me straight away. I do not like the Brit version of what not to wear at all. Those to women are such vipers.
some friends of mine told me to watch Gok someone (he is Brit )and he seemed quicky and very gentle with the women. I think I saw a couple and then it finshed

I still mourn the end of 5 amazing shows: Six Feet Under, Deadwood, The Wire, Arrested Development and Freaks & Geeks. Now that we gobbled up all these DVDs in toto, we are begining to be hooked by The Office (but that Michael Scott is deplorable, and not in a ha-ha way) and 30 Rock. Looking forward to the return of Lost as well.

I am a self-admitted TV junkie! My favorites are (in no particular order): Battlestar Galactica, Lost, Weeds, Californication, a new show on HBO called TrueBlood (I just can't resist sci-fi/ fantasy shows- as long as they're well done- though the jury is still out on TrueBlood- so far it's pretty good and very sexy), Law and Order SVU, the Daily Show with John Stewart, Real Time with Bill Mahr, and (OMG! I'm such a grown-up now) 60 Minutes. I find that CNN has been ruling my life lately too, with all the political coverage. Oh, and we LOVED So You Think You Can Dance this past summer.

I cancelled my cable, in a budget-conscious moment. I've been missing the Red Sox, but have gone old school and listen to the games on the radio.

The one TV-related thing I can't live without, apparently, is the Daily Show. I watch it every morning online. So worth it.

I'm a huge Red Sox fan and actually prefer to listen to games on the radio (or internet now that I'm not living in Boston anymore). It reminds me of hot humid summer nights in my apartment when you didn't want to turn on any lights so I'd sit on my porch and listen to the game with the glow of Fenway Park in the distance.

There's something magical about the Red Sox on the radio, it's true. One of my favorite summertime memories is listening to the game while driving up to the coast of Maine, late some Friday evening, changing stations every hour or so to keep the signal strong....

Score another point for Charlie Rose.
I also love Bill Maher's HBO show.
And I am still mourning the fact that The Sopranos is no longer on. Nothing else comes close. Also really liked Rome.
Love the PBS series on Mario Batali in Spain. Also anything with Jamie Oliver.

I rarely watch anything live these days - it's DVR all the way. It actually means the difference between watching anything or nothing since my schedule is a bit erratic. I love Mad Men, Gossip Girl, Lost, Entourage and The Hills.

DEADWOOD on DVD. We are up to disc 3 in the last (3rd) season and not looking forward to seeing the last episode. Fabulous dialogue, wonderful acting and a reminder that some things really haven't changed all that much since 1876 when it comes to industry, development, politics and power.

Also love Mad Men and Dexter and all the dancing shows that make me want to dance.

I haven't got a TV, I like to read, write, horse ride and many other things, I wouldn't know what to do with a TV if I had one, except, perhaps, dusting it! I do however love some TV shows which I watch on DVD (on a computer screen if you want to know...). My favourite one is Red Dwarf from the BBC. It is super-funny, with not-so-subtle class digs in perfect British tradition. You can get to know more about it here: www.reddwarf.co.uk I also love The Jeffersons (also on DVD) which I particularly adored watching when I was a small child...!

I'm a sucker for America's Next Top Model...I love to watch the girls "become." I also love the creativity and whimsy put into the show. It's entertaining and a great study in discovering who you are, becoming who you are, and learning to shine & stand out in a crowd.

My favorite is Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations. TiVo is the best thing since sliced bread because it lets me watch Oprah, Weeds, Dexter, Project Runway, The Daily Show, Colbert Report, Absolutely Fabulous, Top Gear, the CSI franchise and lots of other stuff on my own terms, in my own time without the intrusion of commercials. I really watch too much television.

Drama: Supernatural...great story and eye-candy galore and I'm diggin' JJ Abrams new series, the Fringe. (I would probably agree on Lost and Heroes, but I haven't gotten around to renting the DVD's yet).

Comedy How I Met your Mother, Flight of the Conchords, The Daily Show

Reality: So you think you can Dance (Canadian version is looking good too!!)

Talk show: Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson, The Hour

...yes I watch waaay to much TV!

I don't have a TV right now, so i might watch other stuff if i were better exposed, but my sister and i pulled up at 3 or 4 hours worth of So You think You Can Dance routines on youtube not long ago, and now I am really mourning the fact that i can't easily watch the new Canadian version. Also, when i'm in a bummer mood, or just need a little r&r and inexplicable brain candy, I watch Sex and the City on my computer.
