I forgot Man Vs. Food. I like that show also.

Liked that show, but I feel like people are going out of their way to make challenges for him as opposed to him traveling to places where they have historic eating challenges. Still pretty entertaining though.

I do on call work for a research company that tests pilots of new TV programs for a major network and some cable networks. We recruit people to come in and watch the programs, then respond to a survey about the show they just watched. During a three to four week period, in April and May, we may test up to 20 pilots, so that the network can get their fall lineup set. So, if you've ever asked yourself, "How did this show ever get on the air?", this is how it's done.

I'm sorry, but I'm not at liberty to name the networks.

I started watching Psych because of the gif. I haven't stopped.

I also don't like missing the Big Bang Theory, but I always do.

Anyone who has Dish Network might get this...
I can't get enough of the Dish Earth channel...

Actually, I've been on a TruTV kick for a while...World's Dumbest, Most Shocking, Forensic Files...also Solved and 48 Hours on ID on the Investigation Discovery channel.

We have similar taste it seems. But I'm disillusioned with House and I never watched friends. However, the real point of this post is to point out that if we're talking about old shows we watch on some sort of method of watching shows that are no longer on the air, I watch Cosmos on Hulu.

The only show on regular TV these days I watch is House. However it's usially on Mondays so I never watch it because of Monday Night Football. So I catch reruns. 24 & Married With Children. They don't make sitcoms like they use too. Shows like Night Court, Cheers & Wings were all good.

I was disgusted when I saw a preview for a show called OUTSOURCED. When the U.S. is in the middle of a financial disaster the last thing we need to see is Hollywood make fun of it with a show about a guy who goes to India to work for a company that's decided to layoff it's entire American workforce.

Plus, they had that dang Chelsea Dagger song in the preview too.:L

I watch and DVR a lot right now. I actually think overall TV quality is better and smarter than it ever has been.

Mad Men
Rubicon, started slow but building now
Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia
Louie
The Office
Community - became my current favorite comedy the second half of its season
Dexter
Modern Family
Chuck - guilty pleasure stupid but fun
Tosh.0 - guilty pleasure

Hung - gave up part way through the season. I like Jane and whoever Tanya is but found the show boring.
Entourage - I'd have stopped watching this year if it wasn't ending next summer.
Weeds - giving it another episode or so but think its been bad for 2 seasons

Ive been watching 30 Rock on PS3 from Netflix, so far I like

I forgot Breaking Bad. Season 1 was OK and I wasn't really excited by the idea of season 2. I am glad I gave it another chance seasons 2 and 3 have been tremendous. Funny at times, shockingly violent at times, and surprisingly weird in a good way at times (fly in the lab, stolen ATM).

Lately I have gotten into a show called "Forensic Files" on TruTV. I also love the World's Dumbest, and watch it whenever it's on.

"Sliced"

Not so much for seeing the inside of stuff they cut in half, but for the kickass saws they use.
