Hello Thread of my Life.... I don't do TV half way, never a casual viewer, i always watch every episode and love on it.

So what does everyone watch other than the better than the rest THE GOOD WIFE?


My current list includes.. (in a kinda day of the day of the week order)
Mad Men, United States of Tara, Hung, The Big C, Breaking Bad, Desperate Housewives, Brothers & Sisters, Dexter, One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl, Big Bang Theory, Chuck, 90210, Pretty Little Liars, House, Secret Life, Body of Proof, Parenthood, Raising Hope, No Ordinary Family, Modern Family, Cougar Town, Parks & Recreation, 30 Rock, Community, Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, some reality like survivor & amazing race, SNL..... & i still watch a bunch of old shows like ER, Star Treks, BSG, Once & Again .... and quite a few UK shows that aren't even worth mentioning haha.

Yeah... lets just say i keep busy? I can't say i'm obsessed with every single one but i do love them all for a specific reason & really enjoy watching.


Always wanting to add shows (crazy i know?!) so let me know what you think i might love based on that list?
Going to watch all The West Wing (yeah how have i not watched it yet??!!) and The Closer this summer
And I think i might catch up with Bones if people are impressed with how this season ends... seems like my kind of show?

I'm also going to start watching TWW soon, but the last 3 seasons are still missing.

Besides TGW I watch Desperate Housewives and Body of Proof, plus I'll catch up on this The Office season during summer, I watched all other seasons last summer for the first time.

From past shows I'm watching China Beach now, also for the first time.

I must say that I haven't found a show that captivates me as much as TGW.
Maybe you can give me some suggestions for the loooong summer ahead

And I thought I was watching too much TV!

I watch every week Mike&Molly, Glee, Parenthood, Private Practice and Fringe. Moreover, I watch Grey's Anatomy, Damages, Castle, but usually I watch an entire season all together. I'm currently watching Boardwalk Empire and the last season of The West Wing. Plus other random shows if some guest stars catch my attention.

Ah how good is it to watch a season(s) all in one go?
i LOVE doing that, just watching ALL day... and it always makes them enjoyable coz you really just remember all the good stuff, and feels so satisfying to not have to wait after cliffhangers & such. Get so involved

I do watch Glee too (think i'm an episode behind tho) but it annoys me as much as i enjoy it haha.

Defo can't wait for TWW, seems many TGW fans loved it so that high praise. I've just always never been bothered before because its more male orientated and i don't normally go for those shows. But i have faith in the genius of the Sorkin

Can't say i can get anything to compete with it but what kinda show are you looking for and i could find one that would be enjoyable in the summer
Comedy/drama/male/female/cable/family/medical/sci fi/detective???

It is. Specially with complicated shows like Damages. You can't get enough.

Same here about Glee. I'd like to kill half of the characters (specially Rachel), but it's so silly that's it's good for the soul and the brain after a stressing day.

oooo well then i would say try Dexter, as long as you can cope with lots of blood, its amazing crime drama mixed with a bit of dark murder mystery and not all about work, got lots of personal development too! 5 seasons (12 episodes each) have aired so far with a theme running through each.

ESPECIALLY RACHEL YES. I enjoy the positivity, some of the singing and the brilliant guest stars keep me watching...
I loved Nip/Tuck so i just get very confused about Ryan Murphy going and making this after that amazing twisted dark show, but i guess that shows his talent to go completely opposite!

I've watched some episodes of that, but that wasn't really my cup of tea.

All right, I'll call 12 of those shows and raise you with....

Arrested Development
Archer
Better Off Ted
Black Books
Bones
Bromwell High
CSI
CSI: New York
Damages** <--- Dancing to the titles of this is a mandatory requirement in my house.
Face Off
Freaks & Geeks
Fringe
Glee
Green Wing
How I Met Your Mother
Kingdom Hospital
Law & Order
Law & Order: SVU
Lost
Metalocalypse
NCIS
Nurse Jackie
Portlandia
Prison Break
Southland
Suburban Shootout
The IT Crowd
The Shield
The Vicar of Dibley
True Blood
Ugly Betty
Wallace & Gromit
...and last but not least...
Weeds

I promise I wasn't turning this into a competition; we just have a very extensive DVD collection!

Edit: So, I took out the shows I haven't watched at least once in the past year.... but still it's a worryingly long list to look at! At least the only MUST SEE show for me is The Good Wife. I could probably live with only watching 3-4 out of the 50 (!) but luckily I don't have to make that decision.
