Am I the only male...

[Riggswolfe]

The Daily Show. Yeah. I forgot that in my list of shows I enjoy. Also Stargate. My problem is, that I might enjoy some shows but I rarely actually watch them. I'm usually on my computer or watching DvDs or premium channels on cable.

[Abagadro]

If you get MTV2 they show full episodes (with vids) of Beavis & Butthead fairtly regularly.

[Krakrok]

I don't find South Park particularly funny (if at all). Of coarse I don't care for the Simpsons either so go figure. Or Seinfeld. Or Friends. Or any sitcom for that matter.

Rarely will I watch anything fictional that is set in current times (between say ~1990 and 2005).

[Rasix]

I bet you're a hit at parties. [Ed McMahon] Hiyo! [/EdMcMahon]

[Gong]

I can't believe no-one has mentioned Space Ghost Coast-to-Coast. Though not every episode is hilarious, there is some really amazing stuff in there. A good deal of it requires an appreciation for abstract and/or esoteric humor, but I think it's definitely one of the funniest TV cartoons ever.

[Disco Stu]

Probably the funniest show on TV right now. Unfortunatly I'm not sure any stations in the states play it uncensored. BBC 1 might but I'm not positive.

[ahoythematey]

For me, most recently it's been Monk, Malcolm in the Middle, and Arrested Developement for teh funnaes, as well as some previously mentioned stuff like Aqua Teen.

Yeah, it is funny. I don't think it's the funniest, but I've only caught a few episodes. BBC America airs it.

Ali G, I think, is the funniest thing around right now. Kinda dwindling though..A lot of people (potential interviewees) are catching on to the act. Didn't he move out of the UK because of that very reason?

Besides that, I watch more TV at other people's houses than my own. Which isn't much either. Heh, I'm like, just discovering Futurama.

[Shannow]

Arrested Development is pretty damn funny and MoM has always been.

[Aslan]

You know, the only TV shows I've really watched since ST:TNG went off the air are:

MacGyver
Friends
Buffy TVS

I'm not sure what that says about me.

I'm sure.  :P

[Abagadro]

Last night's episode was pretty good. The PETA stuff was a bit weird/lame (not the fact of making fun of those idiots, just the way they did it), but voting being between a Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich was pretty classic, especially after the recent controversy they had about saying people shoulnd't vote.

[Rasix]

I really like South Park, always have.  There's really a soft spot in my heart for dick & fart jokes combined with social commentary.  Sure, the show isn't as good as it once was  but you get about 3 gems per season out of them with a couple of plain duds thrown in.   The first five episodes this last season were pretty damn good, which were followed up by the less than stellar Goobacks and Mr. Jefferson (EP 5 was OK, funny yet weak).

This last episode was pretty decent. The PETA stuff was kind of weak though.  It really steemed out of place and threw of the pacing of the entire episode.  

Firefly was canceled because it was too slow and you know what, they were right. They were right about Harsh Realm too. Stop pimping a show that never made it through the first development arc (and couldn't in 9 episodes).

Yah, the time slot of death, showing the episodes out of order, and interuptions mid season due to sporting events didn't help either. They just didn't give that show a fucking chance.  They did that too with Wonderfalls which pissed me off too.   I think the slow developing interpersonal relationships would have been a good thing if the show had been allowed to go more than 13 EPs.  No use having your big payoffs early.  

Fox just does that shit too.  Everytime I hear of a good show coming to Fox I just cringe because the damn thing is doomed.  Arrested Development has survived but that's one of the few original shows that has made it on the channel.  Why they picked up crap like "Tru Calling" I'll never know.  That show just plain sucks.

On a similar vein, I'm watching downloaded episodes of Farscape (sorry, not going to pay $100 for their dvds, ROBBERY) at the moment. It's pretty decent about 15 episodes into the first season.  The writing and the humor is pretty suspect at times along with the protagonist being probably the most poorly written and acted.  Still, good show, look forward to seeing how all of the story lines progress.

Don't watch a whole lot on TV nowadays. My lineup is pretty much limited to:

Lost
South Park
Football/Tennis
CSI (the original)
Aqua Teens
Deadwood, Sopranos, Entorage (this show kinda sucks though), Six Feet Under

I think I might watch 24 this year to see if the show can get even worse.  Season 3 was one of the worst things that has ever graced public television. It's just getting hard to find stuff for me to watch, I'ved burned out on Law and Order and it's derivatives and I won't watch the beautiful people CSI spinoffs.  

It hasn't helped that a lot of my staples got cancelled or ended their runs in recent years.  But honestly, I like having less stuff on TV that I enjoy watching.  It makes putting off buying a TIVO that much easier.

[Abagadro]

Deadwood, Sopranos, Entorage (this show kinda sucks though), Six Feet Under

If you aren't watching The Wire, you are really missing out. It is an incredibly dense show and hard to get into, but it is one of the coolest out there. Go find season 1 & 2 on DVD and then try to catch up on it this season. If you were a fan of Homocide: Life on the Streets, you will like this show even better.

[WayAbvPar]

I enjoy South Park when I see it, but I don't go out of my way to watch it too often. Thanks to the wonders of TiVo, my TV watching is pretty easy to list (these are staples on my Season Pass list)-

Jeopardy
Win Ben Stein's Money (too funny)
Lost
Rescue Me
Scrubs
Joey (empty, but mildly amusing)
Coupling (have first 3 seasons on DVD)
The Office
The Daily Show
Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn
Various Poker shows (WSOP, CPS, WPT, PSI, etc)
Joan of Arcadia (my wife got me into this one)
Inside the NFL

Sports I tend to watch live, rather than DVR'ed- NFL mostly at this part of the year. I also watch a lot of History Channel, Discovery Channel, National Geographic Channel, etc either by catching them live, watching them On Demand (which rules), or happening to catch an upcoming show and setting the TiVo.

[DarkDryad]

Gee WAP some of those shows put you into the woman catagory yerself :P

Heh- that is what happens when TV time and quality time with my wife collide. Our schedules are so screwed up that we usually end up watching TV in bed from 10 PM to midnight together after she gets home from work. The good news is I have time to either watch the shows she doesn't like or spend time on my PC or Xbox while she is working =)

[Aslan]

Heh, after carefully reviewing my girlfriend's movie choices, I have subsequently informed her that Law 1 is that we always have two working tv's and two dvd players at all times.  Sweet November my candy ass.

[Bunk]

Hmm.. current tv watchings:

Lost
Survivor
CSI
Law & Order
Jeopardy
South Park
Family Guy
Hockey
Football
Poker




WWE

[Rasix]

Hmm.. current tv watchings:

WWE

Hah, I used to watch.  Then I realized I just watched to bitch about it.  It got bad, really bad. Too many out of shape, old hasbeens and shitty writing dominating the product.  

Ohh well, it made for good Monday nights in college.

[Signe]

What is wwe?  I googled it and all I got was wrestling.

[Rasix]

Used to be WWF.  You know, Andre The Giant, Hulk Hogan, and other large sweaty men punching, grabbing, and tossing each other.

[Arnold]

Me - I mostly watch Adult Swim.  Venture Brothers is pretty damn good, but they've also got Futurama, Family Guy, Harvey Birdman Attorney At Law, and Aqua-Team Hunger Force.  There's a few good Cartoon Network shows  as well, such as MegasXLR.

Yeah, Venture Brother's is great.  "The Trial of The Monarch" had me laughing out loud for almost the entire episode.  Oh and the one before that, where Dr. Venture played D&D with Baron Underbheit  and their buddies in college, was hilarious too.

[Demetra]

For your MST3k fix, pick-up some of the DVDs out now.  I grabbed the "Mannos/ Santa Claus Conquers Mars" set.  Oh dear god I'd forgotten how very very bad those movies were.

Are the seasons with Joel out on DVD?  My memories of those being the best might be flavored by the fact that they stopped showing them in the reruns.

Some of them with Joel are out; I know 'Mitchell' and 'Pod People' are available (or were the last time I looked). I was always more of a Joel fan myself.

I'll second the seconding of Venture Brothers.  I'm not a big TV person, but if I miss a Venture Bros. episode I'll be like "Well, damn"  I personally liked the episode where they had Race Bannon and the Fantastic Four parody.

They're not doing "seasons" for various reasons. The guy who did Tom's voice was on the local radio a month or so back and explained that they'd lost some release forms for some of the movies, or the release form didn't carry-over to DVD and the producers refused to sign after seeing the treatment their films got.  

Joel was definatly much better than Mike.  Mike tried too damn hard, IMO.  The Mannos/ Santa DVD is all Joel, and apparently two of the most requested episodes since the movies were so horrible.

 Mannos, for example, has a 10-minute-long sequence (that might be exaggerating it, but I'll check.) at the beginning showing nothing but landscape passing by to signify the car traveling along.  Nothing happens but some really bad 60s e-z listening music playing in the background while it fades to different trees/ fields passing by.  This starts the running gag of Tom talking like an e-z listening DJ, "You're listening to "Mannos, the Hands of Fate." every minute or so.

I had the Saturday morning Comedy Central MST3K's TiVo'd for a while, but it was incredibly frustrating.  They had maybe 6 episodes that they looped over and over again (Something about a devilfish, something about giant worms, something about some denomic kid), and maybe one new one every few months.  Very sad.

If you ever get a chance, watch the Italian barbarian movies.  Particularly one called 'Island of the ' something or other.  Brutally funny.

[toma levine]

MST3K fans: you can get most of the episodes not released on DVD/VHS here (if you don't mind using edonkey to get them):

DAP Central

Yes, they are legal. As they say, keep circulating the tapes.

[SirBruce]

Star Trek: Enterprise
Boston Legal
The West Wing
ER
Monday Night Football
Justice League Unlimited
Teen Titans
South Park
Uncommon Knowledge (PBS)

Same here.  I literally watch no TV at home, except that show.  I keep the TV around for movies on pay channels.  My roommate turned me on to the Venture Bros and I've been watching ever since.  I'll sneak in some Sealab too every so often, because it's funny at times.

They were sued by the World Wildlife Fund for using their initials.  And lost.

So much for the theory that money = automatic win in court.
