PostSubject: TV Shows?   Tue Oct 02, 2007 4:20 pm

What shows are everyone into? I myself have shows for every day of the week...except Wednesday. Odd. Anyway:

Sunday: Dexter/Family Guy: 9 pm
Monday: Chuck: 8 pm, Heroes: 9 pm
Tuesday: Bones: 8 pm, House: 9 pm, Law and Order: SVU: 10 pm
Wednesday: Pushing Daisies: 8 pm
Thursday: The Office/CSI: 9 pm, Law and Order: CI/Burn Notice: 10 pm
Friday: Monk: 9 pm, Psych: 10 pm
Saturday: Mad TV/Saturday Night Live: 11 pm

Obviously some shows take preference over others (Dexter over Family Guy, The Office over CSI) so I'll usually watch what I miss online. I'm so glad all the major networks have finally jumped on the bandwagon and started streaming full episodes! Less work for me Very Happy

~Saki

ETA: Dropped 'Journeyman' a while back because it started to suck, and it has apparently been cancelled. Added Pushing Daisies cuz it ROCKS, dropped Doctor Who because I'll be watching it online from now on...

Your Fri. is just so right, the best 3 hrs of TV. cheers
If you need something for Wed. try Criminal Minds, Mandy Patikin leave the show this week but the eps have been great and hopefully continue. Idea
I don't know mine by days as much since we recently got a DVR but here's a few others:Mythbusters(obviously), Mindfreak,CSI(original),CSI NY(sometimes),Torchwood(if your BBCA equipped),Hotel Babylon(ditto),Ace of Cakes,Good Eats,Dinner Impossible.
And being a NHL Center Ice subscriber all programs may be superceded by Canucks,Wild,Pittsburgh games. :!:

Calixar,

I watched Last of the Summer Wine when it was on a local PBS station here. I miss Cleggy, but those were great episodes when he 'left'.

A show I recommend is Monarch of the Glen. I was only able to watch the last three seasons that included the one with Tom Baker and Donald McDonald. Worth a DVD prchase in my mind.

Got that right!!! But SADNESS! No new Monk/Psych until January. At least Monk does a Christmas special now, I wonder if Psych will follow suit?

I actually already finished up Torchwood (I watched it online), so I won't say anything to spoil ya. Wink And ACE OF CAKES!!! That show is amazing. I always get soooo hungry watching it.

Actually, I won't watch anything else tonight, 'cuz the Sox are on. GO RED SOX!!! cheers

I'd second that choice, of course I'm hoping you're right on this one...Patinkin was the reason I started to watch this show from the beginning. The characters have really kept me involved since, especially the Doctor Reid one. Not sure if it will be the same. Certainly didn't like the way they reworked last season's pulled episode of "Doubt" as this season's opener.

Saki, I'd also throw out NBC's Bionic Woman remake. I can remember watching the original series, which was one of my mother's favorites. I watched the premier for the new one and it certainly isn't my mother's Bionic Woman. This one is a LOT better. If you missed check online for it, the opening kind has a little feel of the 1st Resident Evil movie with the whole secret project gone wrong theme.

Saki-sorry I'm originally from cleveland so GO INDIANS! They just spanked the yanks for game one!

did you know that Monk originally aired it's pilot on ABC and they didn't pick it up? big mistake huge!

-the only bionic woman ep that I recall is the one with bigfoot and it guest starred the six million dollar man cause back then that was a lot of money not a pro-athletes yearly salary. or it might have been one of his episodes not sure. Saw the 1st ep of new BW it seemed alright not bad watching the replays on sci-fi.

Hey, you guys know how the equation goes: Red Sox fan = Yankees hater, so GO INDIANS!!!

Also: I found a show for Wednesday! It's called Pushing Daisies, and OH MY GOD IT IS LIKE TIM BURTON MADE IT FOR TV. cheers Also, cheers to ABC for not only streaming their online episodes, but streaming them in high-quality Flash!!! You don't see THAT on any of the other networks' sites. *smirk*

I keep thinking that Reaper is the reincarnation of Dead Like Me but the creator of that show actually did Pushing Daisies which I havent seen.

And I remember when MTV had The Young Ones. The series that also had a lot of Doctor Who jokes and guest stars.

On the Reaper, Dead Like Me, Pushing Daisies line.... I liked Mulberry. I wish they'd had a chance to conclude it.

Stephen Collins starred in it and one of the guys from Baa Baa BLack Sheep also. They had Roddy McDowell too. I loved watching it, but I was a kid and it was done after Indiana Jones hit the theaters.

I remember Tales of the Gold Monkey, but never got to see enough of it. Seems there was something my mother wanted to see at the same time and we only had one TV back then.

Maybe she wanted to watch "Manimal"('80's cat people show.) Very Happy

A brief look back on TV- Shocked
Yeah we all had one TV and you actually had to go up to it and turn a round protrubence called a dial to switch the channel it was crazy! affraid I remember my parents had and ingenious device of the times called a whistler, when you squeezed the whistler it upset the dogs and the pitch would actually turn the Tv off from the bed. Sleep Later as time moved on our family purchased a wired device that attached to the dial, basically a forward and backward motor that would move the dial for you. scratch

Cleveland had doctor who on WVIZ late nights on Sat, which turned out to be bingo or some parents night out so Ihad the TV all to myself!
