Hello out there in SW,
Just turned to On Demand and saw Ab Fab on BBCA... cannot even think about trivial things with their silliness and did not realize the young girl is now on Larkrise to Candelford.
I tend to like mysteries and Brit Comedies ;)
Annnnnnnnnnnnd you?
Cheers,
P.

The news...which of late has become more ridiculous and horrific all at the same time. So nowadays, I would say it is more of a "show" than objective reports of the goings on. Even the weather is embellished and any event is exaggerated to sell commercials.

Other than that, anything with Hugh Jackman in it.  ;D

Hello Iraisin,

Oh I adore Hugh Jackman he is so handsome, funny and talented!
I agree the news and teh weather are so embellished I'd rather watch things that are well-written ;))

Cheers,
Peony

I watch lots of forensic, detective, history, documentary shows ID channel shows because I find life so interesting.  We like listening to books here a lot (my hubby lost his sight at 50, but that's another story).  He has a flash drive reader that they supply for free and access to thousands of books. They also can mail them to you.  All of this is postage free and supplied by Cleveland Library for the Blind!  Its been a lifesaver for him. I can download them from the computer for him onto a flash drive.  They only play in the player.  He is such a softy he loves listening to stories from the 1800's.  He was never a reader before and now it is hard to get him away from them if he is listening to one with headphones that I am not interested in or have already read! Too funny!

I swear I live in a bubble, when I check the news it is all so depressing I just shut it off. We have had no cable, dish, etc for 2 years and do not miss it.  We watch shows we choose and when we choose from a computer/internet hooked up to our flatscreen tv.  There is so much hype on tv anymore, and things that just are absurd!

Endorphins are the best medicine...laugh when you can!

As I am from Germany I am certainly not up to date on overseas TV shows. But I love "Married with children", though it?s very old of course. Also I like COPS!  :P

I watch two episodes of M*A*S*H every weekday ---- it comes on (and they're in order!) from 7 to 8 p.m. during the week, and I look forward to it every day, even though I've seen every episode so often that I can practically lip sync every word.

I also love "The Middle" and "Modern Family" (which, as you know, stars the husband from Married... With Children").

I loved Ab Fab!! I didn't know it was back on again.
I like "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia." And "King of Queens" which I never saw when it was in the prime-time lineup.
Also, "Big Bang Theory" has grown on me, Big Time!

My biggest guilty pleasure is watching "World's Dumbest." It's gratifying to know that someone  out there is dumber than I am. It Just Is.

I watch a ton of reality shows.... but, not the news. The news is too real.

Anyone watch Big Brother or Survivor?

My favorite reality show is "My Cat from heck".  It's on Animal Planet at 8:00pm (EST). Yesterday they had back to back episodes from 10:00am and ending at 9:00pm. I did not know until the late afternoon but I had my tv on until it ended.

It's about a man named Jackson Galaxy who is a cat behaviorist (aka cat doctor). He worked in animal shelters for a long time. He carries guitar case filled with cat treats, toys, etc. when he visits peoples homes in CA and further. He diagnoses what the problems are and gives families "homework" to improve the situation.

You may check out his show on the Animal Planet webpage. I have a couple of other shows I like but this is my top one at the moment.

P.S. I'm not at all guilty ;D and its a pleasure to watch his show.

Hi All,

I'm watching Hogan's Heroes right now.  It's been so long since I've seen them, it's like their new again.  Get Smart is another oldie I try to catch.

Hubby and I love Big Bang, I think it's our favorite.  Also watch According to Jim, The New Adventures of Old Christine, and How I Met Your Mother.

Really enjoy the USA Channel:  Suits, Covert Affairs, Royal Pains, White Collar, NCIS and NCIS LA.

Chomping at the bit for season premiers of Revenge, The Killing and Justified.  Oh that Timothy Olyphant:  Mm...Mm...Mmm!!
