what are your favourite shows on tv?

[MarthaB]

:) Hi as you all know by now I live in australia, and I watch lots of american shows, and I have my fav Aussie ones too of course, but what do you like to watch?? I am going to mention some of mine, but please no giggling, because I am aware that we may be behind in some of the shows.
okay here we go, from the soapies I like ''the young and the restless'', and the bold and the beautiful'','' days'' is too weird for me, the storylines are way over the top.
Grey's anatomy, judging Amy, judge Judy( hate to be in her courtroom, it's like she is suffering from permanent pmt, but I do think she is very smart, I just don't like to be yelled at like she does.
The ghost whisperer, wifeswap usa, Medium,Gilmore girls,One tree hill, Veronica Mars, Dr Phil, Oprah, ncis, Desperate housewives, Law and order svu, there is more but cannot think of any at this stage, I also loved Frasier, and everybody loves raymond, but those shows are finished now, and we just see repeats.
So what do you like??
Martha

What a fun thing to do and to take our minds of the daily life

Young & Restless, General Hospital (I LOVE JASON), Desperate Housewives (hubby luvs this show also), Wife Swap, Meet your new Mommy, Nip & Tuck (love so much), Rescue Me, Bachalor, Survior, Yes Dear, Las Vegas, Dr. Phil, Judge Judy, The View and Regis and Kelly (Only really watch the first 20 minutes of the show)

Okay I know I am 34 and slightly embarassed but I also like Orange County (On MTV), Real World and the Gaulent (Like real road and road rules battles it out)

Hubby does not get the remote alot I get it mostly thank god he lets me do it.

[MarthaB]

Hi Patricia, I forgot to mention Las Vegas, I love that show too, I really like James Caan, I think at his age he is still a very sexy man.
I used to watch General hospital, but they took that off years ago, sad because I really liked it.
martha

[patricia1]

Yeah he does look very nice for an older man. But I like Josh Dumal also. I used to watch him on All my Children when he played Leo. General Hospital is good. I had got to where I was not watching it, but I got back into full force. Even my youngest son likes they show. He like the shoot up scenes. I hate that they took it off down there.

[ICNDonna]

I must be totally nuts, but I like to watch Judge Judy. I really go nuts trying to watch shows with commercials so I tend to watch public broadcasting or the movie channels.

Donna

[Sarojini]

My fave show is "House, MD." It's on Tuesdays here at 9pm; don't know if you get that one in Australia. It's about a team of doctors who try and figure out weird medical cases -- kind of a cross between ER and NCIS. The main character, Dr. Greg House, is this antisocial kind of weirdo, but he's kinda sexy because he reminds me of someone in my past who I found very sexy ;) PLUS, it has Robert Sean Leonard in it -- he was in the movie "Dead Poets Society" when he was 19, as Neill, the guy who ended up committing suicide, and he's been in others, like the movie version of John Grisham's "The Painted House." I think he's sooooooo hot *blush* *giggle* LOL... :)

[creatingkarma]

I don't watch much tv at all. A lot of news, but other than that "House" is the only show I watch on a regular basis. I love it too, Jen!

[charmedx3]

Ok I will throw my favorites in there also: I like medium, house md and ghost whisperer but i always seem to forget :mad:
I Always watch CSI las Vegas,ER And Charmed. My son and I have been watching Charmed for about 3 yrs now. when he was 3 & 4 he said say "Mama lets watch the witches". He would also try to freeze things and then blow them up with his hands! It worked pretty well w/bad dreams :)

[kadi]

Law & Order: any of the 3
Starting Over
What not to wear

[ICNDonna]

Kadi, I also like What not to wear --- sometimes I think my entire wardrobe falls within the "not"!

Donna

[dg2901]

Seinfeld reruns (gotta love that Kramer!), NCIS (Mark Harmon is a looker), Martha Stewart's show, The Apprentice-Martha Stewart, Live with Regis and Kelly, and Good Morning America (Diane Sawyer is a hottie)..haha

[MarthaB]

Jen, I cannot believe I forgot to mention ''House'' It's one of my favorite shows, and I think he is sexy too.
My daughter never misses an episode, she is hooked on House, she told me that he is English, not American, I don't know if that's true, but if it is, he sure does a good job with the American accent.
Diana, so you got the hots for Diane Sawyer, mmm interesting,LOL
We also get the american ''today show'' ( we got an Australian today show'') and we also get Good morning America, this morning they were discussing this new book just released, and the word ''redneck'' came up, what exactly is that???
martha

[Rosalie]

I used to watch the soaps Y & R and Days religiously. I would tape it if I wasn't home but I don't anymore. Got out of the habit when I was working and couls never have the time to catch up.

My favourites now are definately "house" Couldn't you just eat him! I remember seeing him in an English series "Black Adder" with Rohan Atkinson (Mr Bean) very very funny.
And Jesse Spencer(an Aussie) isn't too bad on the old optics either.
Hate to miss, ER, Survivor - Go Steph!, Ghost Whisperer which has only just started here and Medium. Loved Frasier
Aussie shows - Kath and Kim ,Who Wants to be a Millionaire? and The Glass House.

[dg2901]

Redneck is referred to a person (usually white southerners) who has a conservative and often bigoted attitude. Whilte its technically not a nice term its well tolerated and not taken to heart by most people.
Oh, and yeah, I do have the hots for Diane Sawyer..hahaha..there arent too many people pushing 60 who look that good!..hahahaha...and for the record-I'm not gay..hahahahahaha, "not that theres anything wrong with that".

[MarthaB]

:) No Diana, I didn't think you were gay, I knew you were kidding, and no there is nothing wrong with it if you were, live and let live I reckon, I don't look at people as to what they are, but who they are. thanks for explaining the redneck thing Diana.
Rosalie so ''house'' is english, my daughter was right then, Kath and Kim are on my list too, look at moi, look at moi, haha, I've got a dvd of them, it was a giveaway with the courier mail, the Kath and Kim code, it's so funny, did you see the episode with Kylie Minoque in it, she plays kim's daughter.
I also like Mr.Bean, got a whole tape full of him., Blue Heelers is another favorite, so is Home and away, and now we got Headlands starting to get hooked on that. Oh I must get a life :biglaugh:
martha

[Rosalie]

You've got a life! It one thats full of good entertainment!
I get tired of those misery guts who sling off at people who enjoy a telly show. David insists on only watching ABC, to much of a snob to watch commercial telly!
Just as well we have two televisions!

[MarthaB]

:) yeah, I agree I enjoy watching the telly, look forward to my favourite shows,I only watch the abc on fridays, they have some good shows on then, We got 3 tv's one in our bedroom, one in the loungeroom, and tim's got one in his room, it used to be 4 when my daughter still lived at home, ridiculous hey?

[HoneyGirl]

:) My favorites are Judge Judy, Judging Amy, Gilmore Girls and - I can't believe I'm saying this - Dog the Bounty Hunter. I also like movies. Our cable just added the IC Network (no pun intended !). It is the International Cinema Network. They show a lot of foreign films and small films that never make it to the big screen.

I am a big movie watcher too. We have lots of DVD's, so if there isn't anything good on tv, I just pick a movie and curl up with my cats.

[tigger_gal]

Law and order.. all of them
the nanny
cold case files
fronsic files
judging amy

those are my favotites, but I watch about anything.. lol

[SandyRN]

Trading Spaces, While you Were Out, and any other home decorating program. I love Dr. Phil, don't have time to watch Oprah, but I sure would if I could cuz I LOVE her......I love wifeswap and trading spouses, think it's sooooo funny......"24" is one of my all time favorite shows.......oh, and the #1, all time, favorite is ER......and prolley always will be. :) Great thread!

[mary124]

I like to sit and watch Cold Case Files, Medium, ER Greys Anatomy, Judge Judy, NCIS, and there are a few others, (I read more than watch tv - but we have 4 TV's!

[MarthaB]

:) Cold case is another one of my favourites, Medium are repeats at the moment, saw Ghostwhisperer and trading spouses last night, now that's a good night 2 of my favourites in the one night. Haven't heard of trading spaces, is that similar to trading spouses,Sandy??
Martha

[patricia1]

Trading Spaces is when two families switch houses for the weekend and redo one room the way they want it. It can be really good. Once someone really freak from the way the room was redone.

Trading spouses is when the wife trades families. I love that show and Meet the New Mommy....

[emilyrose197377]

Cold Case, without a trace, and one life to live. Sometimes I will watch lifetime movie network.

[Bianchi]

Where and when is this "House MD" on? I have heard so many good things about it.
I like "Grey;s Anatomy", "What not to wear", Animal shows like Natl. Geographic, "Boston Legal", "Law and Order", and a lot of decorating shows, not all though.
Bianchi

[creatingkarma]

House is on tonight (Tuesdays) on Fox. It's on at 8:00 here - which is central time. Yes, it's true. He's English. My daughter was watching 101 Dalmations the other day (not the cartoon, but the one with Glen Close in it). Dr. House was one of the puppy robbers in that movie.

[Imustpee]

Iron Chef, Maury, Mad Money,almost anything on the National Geographic or TLC channels.... :)

[Sarojini]

Yep, the guy who plays House (Hugh Laurie) is English -- there was an interview with him on Jay Leno or Letterman the other night and it was REALLY weird to have an English accent coming out of his mouth :) He actually did some of the voices in the "Stuart Little" movie -- I think he was the daddy mouse that tried to pass himself off as Stuart's real dad ;) He was also on those weird British comedies like "Black Adder" so if you watch you can see him there too.

Yeah, I'm totally obsessed with Hugh Laurie and Robert Sean Leonard. *blush more*

Totally excited... House is on in 1 more hour here :) :) :)

[July]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned LOST. That is my favorite show. It is so intriguing and mysterious, and so unlike most other shows. Its a rerun this week. Boo! What is up with that island and "the others"? And what is up with that hatch? Hmmm....





Some others I like that no one has mentioned yet :

My Name is Earl (So, so funny!)
Two and a Half Men
King of Queens
Mythbusters
Yes Dear
Rodney
Three Wishes (This is real heartwarming! Amy Grant is the host.)
Supernanny
Ellen Degeneres Show

Like some of the news programs if I like the topic, like "48 Hours Mystery" or "Primetime".

[Sarojini]

DARN IT... there is some music awards show on tonite instead of HOUSE.... how dare they pre-empt my fave show for that .... LOL :) :lmao: :biglaugh:

Well, let's hope it's back on next week and a good episode :)

[dg2901]

I dont think I mentioned Food Network as one of my most watched shows. My TV is usually tuned to that channel unless Seinfeld is on or the husband is watching a football/baseball game. Another one of my favorites is No Reservations on the travel channel---Toni Bourdain is a hottie-almost as hot as Diane Sawyer!..hahaha

[Rosalie]

Lost has us all intrigued here! The series has ended for the season and now we have to wait until February to find out whats going on! Buggar!!!!!!!!!!!!
Most of the good shows have finished for the summer. I don't know why we get junky shows now. Guess they think we're all out at the beach or something!

[mom_in_ma]

Hmmm...let's see...
Gray's Anatomy - my new favorite
Any of the Law & Order shows - I have the hots for Jesse Martin!
Medium - Patricia Arquette rocks.
Boston Legal
ER - I can't give it up. I've watched it every thursday for over a decade.

[MarthaB]

:) I really miss ''House'' at the moment, they took it of because of the summerholidays, hope it will be back soon with new episodes.
We got king of queens on, and two and a half men, they are both funny to watch, judging Amy is on tonight :woohoo:
martha

[MarthaB]

:) Diana, I watched Diane Sawyer this morning, and you're right she is a hottie, haha :biglaugh:

[traceann]

Oh how did I miss this one!! LOL

Just about any show on Food Network - except for Giada -- sorry to the one's who like her! I love her recipes, just can't stand watching her, lol. No one dresses that way to cook or smile that much!!! LMAO!!

Then: Lost, Alias, CSI, Medium, Desperate Housewives and kinda sorta Invasion. Oh yeah, and Dr Phil, lol!!

[Babs RN]

Ok,
I like Extreme Makeover Home Edition, House, Trauma Life and Death in the ER(its like continuing credits for me :biglaugh: :biglaugh: ) Let's see, Supernanny, Survivor, Judge Judy,and Judge Joe Brown, COPS, and I know this sounds weird Dog the Bounty Hunter on A&E.

Hugs,
Barb :grouphug:

[Ashley1666]

My all time favorite T.V show is Roseanne!!!!!!! and of course I Love Lucy! and for a newbe I like Lost :idea:

[Bianchi]

Oh I forgot, "Commander in Chief", love Geena Davis in this one. Its getting better and better.
Bianchi

[dg2901]

See, I told you Ms. Sawyer is hot!..hahahahahahahaa

[MarthaB]

:) yes Diana, she certainly is :biglaugh: hot hot,hot Diane haha
I forgot, supernanny is a favourite too, we always copy her,'' thas no assepteble'' haha, but I like watching her, she helps a lot of families.
martha

[July]

Did you see the Supernanny where the little British girl corrected Jo's pronunciation ("assepteble")? The girl was sure naughty, but that was kind of funny!

[VickiB]

Well, I've got to throw in a vote for Charlie Gibson (GMA) being hot!

My favorite TV shows:

Lost
Boston Legal
Las Vegas

Vicki

[Rosalie]

My all time favourite, although not new is Star Trek, The Next generation and Deep Space Nine. Except for my dour hubby, we are all fans in this household. Last year I gave my son for Christmas the 7 seasons of TNG. About a month ago I bought DS9 as well.
Any Trekkies out there?

[MarthaB]

Did you see the Supernanny where the little British girl corrected Jo's pronunciation ("assepteble")? The girl was sure naughty, but that was kind of funny!
yes I sure did see that episode, I must say I think she was one of the worst kids that the nanny had encountered, she even slapped the nanny Jo Frost, I don't think I would have been so patient, but as always she even managed to teach that child some manners.
martha

[Rosalie]

This one is for Diane!!!!!!!!!!!
Anither TV program:
The "Footy Replay" during the football season. Australian Rules this is.

[traceann]

Oh cripes I forgot about Extreme Home Makeover and SuperNanny!!! Nothing like a good cry with Ty!! Lol!! ;)

Oh, I loved Star Trek, and the funny thing is I never thought I'd like Next Generation, but that almost became my fave...I love Capt Picard!!!

Anyone else caught themselves saying "asseptable", like Jo??? LMAO. I do it for days after watching it...ugh...

:)

[dg2901]

lmao

[Rosalie]

"asseptable" hahahaha silly pommie!

[MarthaB]

I'm sorry that I can't join in on the country music..never liked the stuff!

[MarthaB]

:) I only like country rock, not country and western, too depressing, I never use to like it, but Tony plays it so I sort of started to like it too, and yes blink 182 is a favourite as well. Hope Hillz is having a good time saturday.
martha
Ooh, before I forget I really liked Angry Anderson, but you don't hear nothing of him now.

[traceann]

Oh my hubby loves Blink 182, lol. I am having a hard time warming up to them, lol. Don't know why either, I like just about anything!!! They laugh at me in the summer on the boat, cause every song that comes on I exlclaim "oh I love this song!" Be it country, rock etc... :)

[Babs RN]

As I was thinking some more about shows I like or liked I forgot the 4 most important shows that lead me to medicine as a career--Emergency, Marcus Welby, St. Elsewhere, and while not medical CHiPs. I also have a new song for everyone to have stuck in their head for the day--Shiny Happy People by REM. Maybe they should let Sadaam listen to it over and over--

Hugs,
Barb :grouphug:

[MarthaB]

:) I used to love Marcus Welby, I watched it all the time when I was young.
I also forgot to mention Will and Grace, we just got a new series starting here.
