    The title basically speaks for itself, what are your favourite programs on TV at the moment?

    I'd have to go for;
    Family Guy
    The Sopranos
    The West Wing
    Boston Public

    These are the type of programs where if I miss a new episode I get annoyed and I still watch repeats, so what about everyone else?

    At the moment?

    Well all family guy on terrestrial tv is pure unwatchable cut to shreds ****e... it pains me to watch a quality show like that ripped to pieces by censors.

    newest Simpsons are terrible... again mostly unwatchable.

    Personally I'd go with

    The Office
    Teachers
    King Of The Hill
    & The Sopranos


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,154 ✭✭✭✭Neil3030


    Scrubs
    Sopranos
    Derren Brown/David Blaine
    Raw/Smackdown
    Those FBI docu-drama things on Discovery.

    They are about all i watch on TV to be honest.

    Same kind of list reallyof the newer shows:

    Scrubs (series 2 repeated on N2 from nesxt Monday btw)
    Malcolm in the middle
    Family Guy
    Sopranos
    Teachers
    6 feet under

    Shows I really like but have only seen a few eps:
    Boston Public (mmmm, Jeri Ryan)
    West Wing

    Like Kali, I think the new Simpsons are terrible & I'm probably not going to bother from here on in (saw a really old ep I'd not seen before tonight though - thank you Digiguide (recent convert))

    Might pick up the new series of Enterprise - haven't watched any new Star Trek since about 1995.

    Has anybody seen Takeshi's Castle on Challenge TV? This is not really the best programme, but its dead funny!! IFor those of u who haven't:
    Takeshi's Castle is basically a game show in which the contestants do wild stunts that you would only find in Anime or video games. Things like swinging over a pit dangling from a vine, charging head-first through doors (some of which are thicker than others -- pick a thin one or feel the pain!), crossing a tightrope while being shot at by a volleyball cannon, staying on a moving platform as it passes under overhangs and past monsters who want to throw you off... things like that! You would not believe how much of a blast it is to see normal people trying to pole-vault over a body of water and land on a dinky floating island, or cross a bridge made of rolling logs; everyone in the theater was jumping up and down cheering for those who gave it their best shot. Some of the contestants even dressed the part; the crowd's favorite by far (who made several appearances since he got to the yearly finals) was a guy dressed as a vampire who went hopping rather than walking/running through all of the events.

    Its dead funny! as said above they do all these really weird things. One of the funniest parts is the state of the contestants!! They look well funny cuz thye wear all of these really weird/funny looking clothes!! Its soooooo funny!!

    Suppafly: Has anybody seen Takeshi's Castle on Challenge TV?

    Takeshi's Castle rules! Have never seen anyone win a prize though! Yer man who does the voice-over (Craig Charles? From Red Dwarf) seems to be appearing on all of the second rate TV shows these days, e.g. Ripleys believe it or not, Takeshi, Robot fighting wars crap., etc..

    Bit of a laugh when you've had a few anyway!


    My preferences:
    Scrubs
    The office
    Family Guy
    Simpsons
    SouthPark

    The new series of ER is pretty good so far and the American Fear Factor!
    Besides the soaps and the odd movie, and a bit of the Weakest Link with Anne theres nothing much worth watching.
