Oooo, Mythbusters. I think we can all agree to that.

And, of course, Daily Show and Colbert Report. I want to have both of those men's babies.

Is anyone else watching Heroes? I really like the comic book style in the paintings and the font. The show brings up a lot of issues of difficult choices people may have to make if this were to happen. Although I really don't like that, "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World" crap. Compared to all the other people who've died, why should her death matter so much more? Oh, right, because she's a pretty, popular blond white girl.

Grrr... I don't really watch much tv anymore. I always try to make time for Mythbusters, because I have such a crush on everyone on that show. Even Tory, and cocky pretty boys like him drive me crazy. I prefer cocky men

Uhm....Alton Brown is , as is Tony Bourdain. Oooh, he's such an arrogant bastard. It's so fuckable. Wow, I'm kinda getting into IFD territory....

Fox cancels great things, such as Firefly, which I adore beyond comprehension. Much more then I ever liked Buffy. Didn't they cancel Arrested Development, too? The bf and I loved that show. He took our box sets when he moved, grrr... I've been watching Ugly Betty at work (they generally frown on streaming media, but give us unlimited access to ABC. Cool!), and I have to say, I totally hated on the show the first time I heard about it, but now I'm a believer. America Ferrera is adorable, and the guy that plays Marc keeps me laughing. Very talented, that one.

Invader Zim, which, like AD, has since been relocated to Seattle. Grrrx2 (the jackass set The Doom Song as my ringtone, because he seems to think I'm a lot like GIR).

Dead like Me because Mandy Potemkin and Callum Blue are also love.

When it was on, I followed Babylon 5 religiously.

The Fairly OddParents. I fucking love this show, and nothing anyone can say or do would change my mind (On the same thought process, I really wish they'd get Rocko's Modern Life, and The Angry Beavers out onto DVD.

Project Runway, because I watched it from the very first episode, and I'll watch it until they end it (even though it's already started to suck a bit).


I've really wanted to watch Heroes, but I never seem to be home when it's on. That really pisses me off, 'cause it was the one show I was really looking forward to this year. Oh well -I know plenty of people planning on buying the box set, so I'll borrow it from one of them sooner or later.

Venture Brothers
House
Sometimes Mythbusters

I just realised how little television I watch o.o And I'm not even an anti-teevee person.

I like the history channel pretty good too.

IT FITS. It does! Believe me, it fits in the face of everything I value because wow Akio = William Shatner breaks my heart.

But come on. Akio and Touga sitting on a balcony verbally waving their cocks about while they smoke cigars and drink? Seriously. Touga running all around the office having sex with anything that moves (but secretly he wants something more )? Akio uh...having sex with midgets. They were starting an incest thing there, I dunno the status of it since I've missed the last couple shows. But still...he has Alzheimer's! It's an interesting connection to draw given Akio's so fond of raping everyone else's memory.

The wrestling over Shirley thing...wow. (I would totally, TOTALLY have sex with her.)

Gushing (literally ) over the awesomeness that is Tony Bourdain is perfectly fine in any forum I moderate. I honestly adore that man.

Edit: I FORGOT THE SHIRLEY SEX DOLL. OH GOD

Hmm, I don't watch a hell of a lot of TV, but I ALWAYS watch NCIS. I'm not crazy about crime shows, usually, but the cast is just terrific in that.

I also watch The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. I will admit to a fan-crush on Colbert. ;

Mm, I still will watch whatever is on Nickelodeon. I love that channel Well, ok, correction - I'll watch the cartoons on it, the live-action shows make me realize how far out of the target age group I've gotten - their main characters always just seem so whiny and bratty nowadays (ok, ok... I do watch Ned's Declassified, but that's all for live-action Nick crap!).

I used to watch Teen Titans until they cancelled it!

And when Psych comes back on I'll be watching that every Friday at 10

My "quality journalism" trifecta:

The Daily Show
The Colbert Report
Countdown w/ Keith Olbermann

That's about all I can watch news-wise these days.  I need my news with a dash of the silly, satirical and biting, or else I will give in to despair that much quicker.  And it doesn't hurt that all the hosts are very easy on the eyes.  What can I say?  I like older men.

Other distractions:

Doctor Who
Mmm, David Tennant...  I still haven't warmed up to Billie Piper, though (*spoiler* and won't really have to, come next season */spoiler*).

House
What little I've seen of it, anyway.  Mom's a nurse, so she can provide running translation if the med-babble gets to be too much.  Snark = sexy.

Law and Order: SVU
Watching Stabler slowly go nuts was fun for a while.  And if my dad were still alive, I can imagine him being a lot like Richard Belzer.

Good Eats
I was a raging Alton Brown fangirl for about a year, and even got to meet him, but I haven't been watching lately.  Tony Bourdain is also a welcome presence in my TV box, but I don't think my cable carries the channel his show is on. 

Deadwood
Yay Netflix.

Mystery Science Theater 3000
The inspiration for that fun Utena fanfic series and a damn funny show in its own right.

Firefly
(Coincidentally, also the name of the Mesh song I'm listening to right now.)  Why did you have to cancel this, Fox?! 

The Office
I'm not playing the US vs. UK game on this one, but I will say I'm more familiar with the US version and that I'm biased toward Steve Carell because I'm a Daily Show fangirl.

UGH.  Rose is SUCH a fucking Mary Sue.  You have no idea how glad I am they (spoiler) ditched her on some godforsaken planet (/spoiler).

I just watched Death to Smoochy the other night. Even with the dorkiest haircut known to man, Jon Stewert is freaking adorable. Gio, you win at life. Again. That's like what, five billion now?

I myself have a disturbing weakness for British sitcoms for some twisted monkey reason.

Some of my most favourite shows are:

The Brittas Empire
I just love this nutty show about a man who wants to bring on World Peace through the use of leisure centres, but when the guy (played by Chris Barrie, the guy who played Rimmer in Red Dwarf) is an annoying, anal-retentive twerp named Gordon Brittas, peace is the last thing that ever happens.

The guy has this supernatural ability to rub people the wrong way and somehow callamity follows from poison gas leaks to mafia hits and even attacks from Roman Legions.  The supporting cast is pretty weird as well.  All in all, One hell of a show.

Blackadder 2, 3 and 4
Edmund Blackadder, Percy and of cause the cunning Baldrick.  We all know what this show is about and that the first Blackadder was a f-ing twat but the shows afterwards kick bootay.

Drop the Dead Donkey
Even if it was dated (it featured 90s news events which I can hardly remember too well as I was pretty young at the time) this show cracked me up regularly when they show it on SBS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_the_Dead_Donkey

I have been wanting to see this for ages!  I quite like Britcoms myself, my favorites being either Are You Being Served? or Father Ted. I didn't list them, though, as I don't really watch them on TV, so I didn't think to. I'm pretty sure Father Ted is off the air here (BBC America), although AYBS? still runs on PBS.

There'll be another feature length of Poirot with David Suchet (who is also sex.)

Thats another guilty secret I have, I like those period piece murder mysteries and what few short stories I have read starring Poirot, David Suchet fits the character way more than Sir Peter Ustinov ever did. (No offense to any Ustinov fans)
