What are your interesting/favorite tv shows, Present and past?
Watched Californication, all four seasons in one month. Caught up with SG:U in the second season. I like Mythbusters. Southland is decent, the cop show in the LAPD. Robot Chicken is good for some laughs. "coupling" from the UK was pretty funny.
What's a favorite of yours that others might not know of?
POLITICS, WAR, ECONOMY, CONTROVERSY! and other heated discussions and debates in the PWEC sub-forum at the bottom of this forum main page. See you there!

I liked Wings and Northern Exposure. Taxi was pretty good. Barney Miller.
Those were some off the top of my head.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

I really need to watch "Californication". I've heard it's excellent and that David Duchovny really showed that he could leave his X-Files past behind him and do a role that is very different from that of Fox Mulder. As for present shows, the only one I'm watching is Fringe but I'm behind since I'm currently watching the dvd's for season 2 and season 3 is almost over. However, I do plan on watching season 4 live. As for past shows, I'll just give you my all-time top 10 list. 1. Battlestar Galactica (new one of course) 2. Babylon 5 3. X-Files 4. Star Trek: TOS 5. Rome 6. Firefly 7. Monty Python's Flying Circus 8. Mystery Science Theater 3000 9. Caprica 10. Twin Peaks

My favorites, past and present, are:
'Allo 'Allo! Band of Brothers Battlestar Galactica (the new one) The Big Bang Theory Californication Rome Spooks Stargate SG-1 Star Trek DS9
And there are so many others I've seen over the years but these I can watch time and again.

I love Family Guy/American Dad. The Cleveland Show sucks a**. It's all I watch apart from a few History shows and Mythbusters.

Sanctuary, SG Atlantis, SG-1, SG Universe. I keep a bunch of those on my DVR in case I want to watch TV and nothing like Mythbusters is on.
Have you seen the Arrow? WWW

Current shows I like are Justified, No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain, and most of what is on Nat Geo, Smithsonian, Science and the History channels. FX did not renew what I though was a decent boxing show in Lights Out but it dealt with the main character starting to show signs of brain damage due to too many hits...how far can you go with that? It was very good while it lasted out it's one season. FX also has a show called Archer which is illustrated and is definitely good adult humor. I watch a lot of shows at On Demand on Optimum cable. Reruns of Sopranos, Deadwood, Entourage on HBO and past episodes of Dexter, Californication, Weeds and a few others on Showtime plus a ton of movies. The On Demand stuff is the best ten bucks extra per month I ever spent on cable. I forgot to pay homage to my man Al Bundy in Married With Children which being an early riser I catch a double dose of at 6 AM...in my opinion one of the funniest shows ever made...loved by everyone but shoe salesman

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

In terms of shows that are still current, Justified, Top Gear and Modern Family.
