Title: Good stuff on TV?
Post by: El Misfit on May 25, 2012, 06:17:39 PM
doing a complete 180 from this: [http://www.badmovies.org/forum/index.php/topic,137637.0.html (http://www.badmovies.org/forum/index.php/topic,137637.0.html)
Got any ideas?
Mine:
Top Gear (U.K.)..... Yeah, this is the only good currently running TV show that I like. :lookingup:
But ya know what, I say that there were good stuff on TV, like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casshern_Sins (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casshern_Sins), or this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigun (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigun)
So, what do you know that is good on TV, and no News crap.

I'll second Big Bang Theory. Honestly I'm having an hard time thinking of anything else that isn't reruns of some kind. I like those TV documentary type series like "I Shouldn't Be Alive", "Most Evil", "Crime Stories" ,etc.

Some Current Pleasures, Guilty and Not:

Whitechapel (A suspected serial killer possesing the last know print of LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT? I'm there!)

30 Rock (Just started watching this year. Fey, Baldwin, Morgan, and Krakowski are hilarious)

American Horror Story (Sad to see 99% of the terrific cast dead in the season finale, but that doesn't mean they won't be back...)

Sherlock (Mark Gatiss' modern revision of the Holmes legend is much, much better than I expected. But then again, it's Mark Gatiss.)

Life's Too Short\An Idiot Abroad\The Ricky Gervais Show (Never a huge fan of Gervais' The Office, but these admittedly mean-spirited shows make me laugh - usually at the foilbles of poor Karl Pinkerton and Warwick Davis)

Tanked (Two Los Vegas goofballs and their wacky family build some truly stunning aquariums)

Grimm (so sue me!)

Once Upon a Time (so sue me again!)


South Beach Tow (sue me on this one - and Bernice will toss you in the dumpster, PUNK!)

Community. I absolutely love this show.

Fringe. But it will be on its last season when it starts again.

NCIS
Big Bang Theory
Blue Bloods
CSI New York

I used to like "How I Met Your Mother" but it seems to have sort of drifted away from its original plot and become "The Barney Show".

Considering that Alcatraz has been canceled...

I'll second Big Bang Theory and Fringe.

Pretty much the only show I love right now is Community. Its so amazing yet never really gets good ratings. Likely because its on at the same time as the Big Bang theory (A show I sorta detest).

Community did a really well-done (and hilarious!) spoof of Law and Order a few weeks ago.

Don't watch much tv, personally, but there's a couple I like:
Big Bang Theory
South Park
Franklin and Bash
WWE Raw

Bout it, right there.

Occasionally I watch Kitchen Nightmares with Chef Gordon Ramsey.

I love old 60's sit-coms.

The only current shows I watch regularly are Supernatural and South Park.

How about Jerzey Shore?

HAHAHA! JUST kidding around, please don't flame me LOL. I don't watch that crap. :twirl:

Nah, for real though. The best stuff on TV is reruns of old 60's 70's and 80's shows.

I rarely watch television, but when i do I watch either Judge Mathis or Judge Judy.

It's pretty much just COMMUNITY, BREAKING BAD and SEINFELD reruns for me, although SOUTH PARK and BIG BANG THEORY have their moments.

I do enjoy watching both old and new gameshows on GSN and have a few guilty pleasure reality shows (AMERICA'S GOT TALENT, STORAGE WARS, the Gordon Ramsey stuff) but I couldn't objectively call that "good."

Things I enjoy that are still running:

- Fringe
- Warehouse 13
- Falling Skies (post-alien-invasion survival drama)
- True Blood
- Nikita
- Ancient Aliens +1!!!  I love that show!
- Alphas

Things I enjoy that were dropped or ended in recent years:

- Smallville
- Dollhouse
- Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
- Blood Ties (vampire and PI series based on Tanya Huff's books)
- Moonlight (yet another vampire PI series, but well written and directed)
- The Dresden Files (based on Jim Butcher's books about a magician PI)
- Point Pleasant (Marti 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' Noxon show about the daughter of Satan)

Shows I still watch from years past:

- The X-Files (currently enjoying season 3 again)
- The Professionals (original UK series)
- The Tomorrow People (70's kids scifi show about psychic children)
- Dr Who (particularly 3rd, 4th and 5th Dr's)
- Blake's 7 (requires no notes!)
- The Equalizer (Edward Woodward vigilante show by Coleman Luck)
- The Burning Zone (90's Coleman Luck show combining X-Files and Outbreak)
- Time Trax (Dale Midkiff show similar to Timecop in concept)
- Fortune Hunter (Mark Frankel adventure series)
- Kindred: The Embraced (last Mark Frankel show before he passed away)
- The Sentinel (Richard Burgi crime series about a detective with super enhanced senses)
- VR5 (early 90's Lori Singer show about virtual reality)

As you can see, my tastes have stayed pretty much the same over the years!
