I'm curious. At the moment, sadly, nothing seems to be on. Seasons of everything have ended and will not be restarting until September, but come the autumn, there should be plenty. I am eagerly awaiting: Doctor Who, Being Human (both English), Dexter, Criminal Minds, How I Met Your Mother, Castle, Dollhouse, Psych and 30 Rock. (All American.)

I appreciate that last one is rather a gay choice, but it's also hilarious. What do you guys watch?
I hope I am a good enough writer that some day dwarves kill me and drink my blood for wisdom.

Me... Well... I used to watch SGA, but now that's cancelled and there's SGU coming, so I suppose I'll watch that. Also House, Heroes (which isn't anymore what it used to be, but it's still quite entertaining), South Park, some detectives (preferably the good ol' British ones, but the Americans are entertaining too), some stuff on Discovery (Mythbusters etc), and some anime when I'm bored.
It has been reported that some victims of rape, during the act, would retreat into a fantasy world from which they could not WAKE UP. In this catatonic state, the victim lived in a world just like their normal one, except they weren't being raped. The only way that they realized they needed to WAKE UP was a note they found in their fantasy world. It would tell them about their condition, and tell them to WAKE UP. Even then, it would often take months until they were ready to discard their fantasy world and PLEASE WAKE UP

Ah yes, Scrubs, Prison Break and House I am well familiar with, they're just not among my anticipated favourites. I also have a detailed knowledge of all things Futurama. And to a lesser extent, The Simpsons and Family Guy. Never really got into South Park, though.

I used to watch the British comedy "My Hero" religiously until the star of the show decided to move on, the new actor sucked horribly, approval ratings fell, and the show went off the air.

I don't watch television anymore. Interestingly, I was the one who ended up having to fix the TV for the DTV conversion, and I'm the one who now gets blamed when channels don't come in so that other people can watch them.

Pretty much only care about the new season of House, Family Guy, American Dad and the distant new Futurama, and of course the new stuff TruTV sends out like Most Shocking, Most Daring and Operation Repo.

"My Hero" was hilarious back in the day. Ardal O'Hanlon and Hugh Dennis are always funny. On that note, look up some Mock The Week. It's a panel show with Hugh Dennis as one of the regulars, and it is honestly fantastic. It became a proving ground for new comedians in the later days, so it was just brilliant.

Try "Come Dine With Me". Fantastic narrator, good cooking and people bitch about each other after a glass of wine too many.

The Office really isn't that funny. At least, not in the absolutely hilarious make-you-laugh-so-hard-you-miss-the-rest-of-the-show funny, like "My Hero" was.

Incidentally, Mrs Raven was my favorite character. :lol:

Thinking about it, I would have guessed you'd like her. :p I've watched Come Dine With Me a fair few times actually, when I have nothing better to do. I like some of the recipes they come up with, because on the whole they're pretty fancy but not too complicated, and some of the people are hilarious. Especially the ones who don't realise they are. ^_^

I hear it comes with a free limited edition Pokemon card. Sounds like a world of fun waiting in that box.

Downloaded the pilot of the new BSG a while ago, still have to see it. Heard it's fracking good indeed.
