instead of obsessing over crushes and hypothesizing about what "might" happen in future episodes, how about we talk about something we know ... our other favorite shows.

my two favorites have to be "the office" (obviously) and "arrested development." if i had to pick an absolute favorite, i'd go with "arrested development." i think the reason has to do with the first season of "the office." it was painful. anyone else with me on this?

i also enjoy "south park," "scrubs," and for some unexplicable reason "24."

call me predictable, but i don't like shows with laugh tracks. i'm grown up enough to know when to laugh...

i LOVED LOVED LOVED "Arrested Development"... SO SAD it didn't make it back (sigh!!)

The Humor in "Big Love" is pretty enthralling, too. (The fact that Bill Paxton says things like 'he's not welcome in my homeS' without blinking an eye is pretty fun.) Polygamy on mainstream TV, and I am learning to like the characters. pretty nuts.

(To be honest, I only converted to the Office after Arrested Development got canceled!!! Thanks to netflix, I caught up!)

Thankfully I don't like much else, since my tv time is at a premium! (W&Grace sucks now, it makes no sense that she is preggers)

I really liked Arrested Development, too. Pretty genious. LOVE The Office. I'm a big Seinfeld fan, too, even though it's over. Scrubs is another one of my favs. For my dose of drama, I'm recently addicted to Grey's Anatomy. Anyone watch the finale last night? OMG!

Arrested Development and The Office. Both my favorite shows in the world. Unfortunately Arrested Development got the axe. that was so stupid. "innywho"--who doesn't love tobias funke?

The top ten:

1. The Office
2. 24
3. Prison Break
4. Lost
5. House
6. ER
7. Family Guy
8. The Simpsons
9. Fundle Bundle
10. Mung Bean Power Hour with Creed Bratton

Not in order:

Office
Earl
Daily Show
Colbert Report
Sunny in Philly
Arrested D
Simpsons
South Park

Just about everything else that I like has been cancelled...AD is fighting for a cable resurrection, but it doesn't look good.

I used to like 24, but I missed one episode in Season 2 and I never learned how Jack came back to life, so I'm done with that one. I'm also done with ER because I cant keep up with the rotating cast...I do love Maura Tierney and Linda Cardellini though.

Anybody else watch the Apprentice? You should. I think Micheal should audition.


p.s. Trump was wrong, Lee should have won

My Favs:
The Office
AD
Earl
Ghost Hunters
Extreme Home Makeover

My favorite TV shows: (#1 being my absolute favorite)

LOST and Arrested Development. Brilliant shows.

The Office
South Park
Ghost Hunters
Iron Chef America
Hell's Kitchen

Earl

1. The Office
2. The Office
3. Le Bureau

Other than The Office, I watch the following:

Lost
Veronica Mars
Smallville
N1P Tuck
Rescue Me
Amazing Race
Greys Anatomy
Dr. Who
Arrested Development (one of the best shows of all time)

My other TV addictions, though admittedly not as bad as my Office addiction are Scrubs and NCIS (I love Gibbs). The other shows I watch are Ghost Hunters, Mythbusters, CSI (if there's no Office on)and the occasional reality show like Amazing Race, Dancing With the Stars and right now - Last Comic Standing. I LOVE Grey's but this mother of 2 can't always make it to 10pm on a Sunday night. Thank goodness next season it's on at 9 on Thursdays. Which sent me into a panic attack until I found out that The Office is being moved to Tuesdays at 8:30 so all is well w/ the world.

The Office
Laguna Beach
The Dave Chappelle Show
Talk Soup
Sex and the City
Sweet Sixteen (man, those girls are spoiled!)
Weeds

Other than The Office:
Gilmore Girls (only there is the writing half as good as The Office)
My Name is Earl (really only b/c it comes on right before The Office)
Law and Order SVU
The Nanny (I'm addicted to reruns)
Friends

Besides The Office, which is number one going away, I watch

Lost
Desperate Housewives
Boston Legal

And don't tell anyone but I've been addicted to All My Children since I was 15 (which was a very long time ago) and I still record it and watch it every night.

Since I can't edit mine again,

1. The Office

In No perticular order...

2. 24
3. Prison Break
4. Lost
5. House
6. ER
7. Family Guy
8. The Simpsons
9. Mythbusters
10. Dharma & Greg (it's cancelled but Jenna Elfman reminds me of Jenna Fischer!)

There are other shows?

Seriously, though, the only current shows I watch with any regularity are:

The Office
My Name is Earl
The Daily Show
The Colbert Report
(CSI: Miami is an occasional guilty pleasure)

My husband and I were huge fans of Seinfeld (like most people in America), Twin Peaks, and the X-Files.

Well, of course, The Office...
I watch a lot of TV (thank you TiVo)...so,

Half hour shows:
Arrested Development (I went into a period of mourning when they finally cancelled it.)
The Simpsons
Family Guy
How I Met Your Mother (actually quite a good traditional sitcom)

Hour Shows:
[censored]/Tuck
CSI (got 2 TiVos)
Grey's Anatomy (I'm a sucker for a good romance)
Medium
24
Gilmore Girls
American Idol (total guilty pleasure)

Arrested Developement is fantastic and like the Office, get better with repeated viewings.

The only other shows besides the Office that i don't miss are House and Lost. But other shows i like, that are currently on and not in reruns are:

Family Guy
Simpsons if i remember
Grey's Anatomy with my wife if we remember
Scrubs (except it's on Tuesday at the same time as House, and i record House since i'm not hom on Tuesdays, but i am now, but i may not be when the new seasons start except from what i see, they may be doing another Scrubs starting mid-season deal)
It was interesting to see Sunny in Philly on someone's list. I watched some episodes of that last season and i must say, it was pretty funny.
The Loop, i thought, is pretty funny.

I also agree with whoever talked about liking shows without laugh tracks. Malcolm in the Middle and Bernie Mac are the same way. Seems like it's a Fox thing.

You like Dharma and Greg too, ilovepam?! Air High Five! I also like Family Guy and The Nanny.

By the way, has anyone seen that new show on Lifetime, Lovespring International? It's kinda Lifetime's immitation of The Office. You know the show's a hit when Lifetime does an immitation of it.

I must say: I'm quite surprised and, dare i say, discouraged to see references to Dharma & Greg, the Nanny, and Lifetime on the Office boards. I mean, c'mon! Those are like bad answers to Desert Island!

I must admit to loving American Idol this year...until Chris Daughtry got kicked off. That was May 10th and I was completely depressed right up unitl May 11th when...JAM kissed! Thank you, JAM for pulling a Chris junkie from the depths of despair!!!

The Office
Boston Legal
Lost
Desperate Housewives
Gilmore Girls (shhhh I would never admit to it publicly)

But the Office is the only one I am obsessed with...

South Park

SNL

Rescue Me

American Dad/ Family Guy

Sports

There are some others that I watch that aren't cancelled yet, including most of the non-anime shows on [adult_swim].

Aqua Teen Hunger Force
Sealab 2021
Home Movies
Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law
Tom Goes to the Mayor

12 oz. Mouse and Squidbillies do nothing for me. I'm still on the fence about Perfect Hair Forever.

I just felt like I was living a lie, since I didn't put any of these on my first list. Like I'm too mature to watch lowbrow cartoons.

1. office
2 seinfeld reruns
3(tie)Law and Order
3(tie)anything sports related

honorable mention goes to MTV's Yo Momma. Wilmer Valderama isn't funny when he tries, but when he serious he's great. Best accidental comedian ever. hands down.

why the hell do people still like lost? Its nothing but questions on top of questions and you know they are going to pull a david lynch and not answer most of them just to prolong the show. I didn't fall for it for one second.

as for the shows...

1. The Office
2. House
3. Family Guy
4. The Simpsons.

Fave Sitcom - The Office
Fave Action - 24
Fave Cop Drama - The Shield
Fave Drama - Lost
Fave Game Show - Family Feud
Fave Reality Shows - American Idol, Survivor, Amazing Race, The Apprentice, So You Think You Can Dance, Hell's Kitchen

Also watch [censored]/Tuck, Rescue Me, The Sopranos.

My all time fave show - love it - is Seinfeld. Best sitcom over!!

The Office got the #1 spot on my list after their great season finale and Gilmore Girls disappointing one. Here are the shows I watch, in order by day broadcast:

Soprano's
Big Love
Entourage
Deadwood
Desperate Housewives (Tivo only, still haven't finished the season)
King of Queens - Actually thought this the best season yet
How I Met Your Mother - Very funny, Barney kills!
Gilmore Girls
Scrubs
My Name is Earl

I've never seen [censored]/Tuck. Is that any good?

That's one heck of a filter they've got on this board.

Diapers, I absolutely love N1p Tuck! It's a fairly racey, jaw-dropping kind of show... for cable that is. There are so many WTF moments - you wonder how they get away with it. Re-runs start mid July, I believe. New season out in September. Once you watch it, you'll be hooked.

i watch a lot of tv, but my favorite shows are
1. the office
2. Friends
3. Grey's Anatomy
4. Prison break

i watch alot more tv, but these were the ones worth mentioning.

1. The Office
2. Veronica Mars
3. Earl (Jamie Pressly is GREAT!)
4. Housewives
5. Greys
6. Monk
7. Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D List
8. Cold Case (except you can usually guess whodunnit before the opening credits even roll)
9. Without A Trace
10. Oprah (I confess!!!)

I agree that "Lost" is going to pull a "Twin Peaks" and leave everyone feel cheated. Those Hollywood types never learn.

I also miss the Bluths.
"Third Watch" and "Quantum Leap" are 2 shows that I went into mourning over.

Did anyone catch "Kitchen Confidential"? It was on a few episodes last year on Fox. I found it very funny - similar to "The Ofice" only in a restaurant. Of course it was cancelled.

Yeah, I too am an avid "Arrested Development" fan on the rebound...sob

Now I'm zeroing in on "The Office" ingenuity. Darn good stuff!
Also like Earl, Scrubs, Colburn Report, Daily Show and a few others without a mindless laughtrack.

Great thread! I love all of these shows. Since most, if not all of these shows are in summer repeats the Lost fans should check out 4400 on USA. It's about peolple who were abducted at different times in the last 50 years and then all retuned at once. The don't know who took them. Now they are developing diferent powers. All they know is that they were sent back to save mankind. It's not as good as Lost, but it will fill your sci-fi fix over the summer. Also you should check out Rescue Me on FX. It's about NYC fire fighters. The dialouge between the guys is so funny. Also it's full of WTF moments. It's a great drama/comedy.
This is so bad, I am such a TV Junkie. Kevin and Stanley ROCK.

Oops, I forgot "The Closer" on TNT. The new season started tonight!!! Kyra Sedgewick and the rest of the cast are amazing. "Thank yeeeeeeewwwww"

I want to check out "Rescue Me" and "[censored]/Tuck"

I am also hooked on "Roseanne" reruns - but only seasons 2 - until they win the lottery.

Oh, those pesky censors!!! I mean "N!p/Tuck".

Simpsons (a day without Homer is like a day without donuts D'oh!)
Monday Night Football
House/ Boston Legal
LOST

And DVDs as far as the eye can see - thank you NETFLIX!

24
Prison Break
Family Guy
Seinfeld
The Simpsons
The Ali G Show
Kenny vs Spenny
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Sports (NHL, NFL, MLB, NBA, World Cup Soccer)

oooo I forgot "House" and "Boston Legal"

Foodcop, I love the 4400. Season 3 just started on Sunday 6/11/06. I'm still very upset over Lily, but can't wait to see what happens next!

None of them are on the air anymore, but I can't believe no one's mentioned any show by Joss Whedon (Buffy, Angel, Firefly - which ended way too early)

Recently got caught up on some of the cable shows, thanks to Netflix. These are all great:

The Sopranos
Six Feet Under
Dead Like Me
Curb Your Enthusiasm
N|p/Tuck

Some of my favorite shows that are no longer with us:

Seinfeld (see it plenty in syndication though)
Freaks & Geeks (the complete series is on dvd)
Ed (where's the DVD?!?!?)
Northern Exposure

Guilty Pleasure:

The OC

Office
Earl
Arrested Development
Hell's Kitchen
Apprentice
American Idol (please don't shoot me!)
SCRUBS - Love that show!

IGotYourBack: Buffy is my all-time favorite show! Also, my friend lent me the Firefly dvd - I'm going to watch this weekend.

HotGirl:
You're going to love it! Once you watch them all, go rent (or preferably buy - dvd extras!) Serenity. But watch the tv eps first. I have a friend at work who recently borrowed both of mine. She watched the movie but not the episodes and was left wondering about a lot. You'll understand so much more with the tv shows behind the movie.

I've seen every episode of Buffy, Angel & Firefly more times than I can count...and the really great ones (OMWF, Hush) I couldn't even guess how many. Except for The Office, I rarely watch the networks anymore. I'm afraid (and gleefully happy) that my Office obsession is overshadowing Buffy. And I've only met one other person who didn't think I was a total freak in my Buffy obsession...So Thanks!

Thanks for the info - I can't wait to check Firefly out!

It's always nice to know other BTVS freaks! I agree, Hush is the best BTVS epi. Also loved the "Angel" epi, Buffy vs. Dracula (Drac was hot), and Smashed (Spike sex).

Are you watching David on Bones now? I like it okay - my mom is obsessed with him. Also, James Marsters on Smallville? No sign of SMG - wonder what she's up to?

The Office
Robot Chicken
Family Guy
Earl
New England Patriots Football
