Top 5 TV Shows Currently Airing:

Self explanatory.

KaptinKool (408 )
09 Mar 10 UTC

- Dexter
For the best season finales coupled with the best overall plot.
- The Big Bang Theory
Not only for the surface humour, but also the subliminal 'sciencey' humour.
- House M.D.
I like the humour, and doctor shows are just classic.
- Top Gear
Personally I think James May is the best host, however I am slightly spiteful of Jeremy because I love Porsche.
- Entourage
Makes everybody who likes it live vicariously through the cool characters... and I love it.

I'm not sure now, but a couple of years ago my list would have been:
Hustle; Heroes; Spooks; Scrubs; Top Gear.

Unfortunately, whilst these are all still going (not sure on Scrubs?) they are all below their earlier standards. Not quite sure what to put instead (Wallander?). Have to say I'm not too much of a fan of the current American exports. Hoping for another series of Heroes when they get their act together again, and Flashforward has real potential.

Fringe- my 2010 x files replacement. well made series, bit slow on the series ark but
Chuck- great couples comedy, new season even better than last
The Inbetweeners- what teenagers are actually like rather than sanitized American make believe teenager shows.
Modern Family- best comedy currently running
californication - if it returns!

figlesquidge (2131 )
09 Mar 10 UTC

"The Inbetweeners" - really? And have you seen Skins?

KaptinKool (408 )
09 Mar 10 UTC

I think both of those shows are decent. I only watch them if I have free time when they are on, but they are decent. As for past shows I think that The Office (BBC) and Extras were absolutely brilliant.

KaptinKool (408 )

But I can never forget the classic Pokemon air (not any of that new crap that adds up to probably Pokemon in the quadruple digits the old ones with Ash and his NORMAL 150) and the best cartoon show: Chaotic series: Zoids. The whole Chaotic series of zoids costs thousands of dollars if I'm not mistaken

Not sure if they're "the best," but they're my favorites out of what's currently airing:

Doctor Who
Mad Men
Weeds
Glee
Castle

KaptinKool (408 )

I forgot about Castle!! Great show, totally unique and awesome take on the overly saturated cop-show market.

abgemacht (1076 )

Castle's pretty good, but I like Life a lot better.

drrobotnik (185 )
10 Mar 10 UTC

Gotta say I'm rather fond of Glee, despite the fact that the characters are just a bunch of jocks/nerds/cheerleaders conforming to their cliched stereotypes. Jeopardy's pretty great too.
But damn, do I ever miss Arrested Development.

5. House

I might say HEROES but I think that they kind of screwed the whole thing over when they started giving everyone in the whole freaking world powers. The first season was cool cause of Sylar and his incredibly intricate persona but after S1 it kind of fell apart.

yeah.....I'm a moderate but people like glen beck just give a horrible name to the conservative side and are really a disgrace to politics aswell as media.

joey1 (198 )
10 Mar 10 UTC

I don't watch much adult TV (with a 4 year old and 2 year old twins in the house, its mostly Dora). The only TV that I watch is online from the CBC. These are:

Little Mosque on the Prarie - http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/Shows/Little_Mosque_on_the_Prairie
The Rick Mercer Report - http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/Shows/The_Rick_Mercer_Report
Dragons Den - http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/Shows/Dragons'_Den

I also like to look at the History channel shows online, but I don't have a favourite yet.

Modern Family (best sitcom in a long time)
Glee
Entourage
Big Bang Theory
Ummm.... I'm out. I'd agree with 'How I Met Your Mother', but its seems like they have 2 sets of writers. Some weeks are hysterical, others are 'eh'.

"yeah.....I'm a moderate but people like glen beck just give a horrible name to the conservative side and are really a disgrace to politics aswell as media."

Let's all jump on the bash-Beck bandwagon! That makes us moderate, detached, and cool, instead of unthinking douchebags.

BOO GLENN BECK HE'S MORMON AND FAT AND KIND OF A JERK

10 Mar 10 UTC

O'Reilly is actually fairly moderate, with a conservative lean, I know. Beck is like Rush Limbaugh. I just watch(listen) to them because they're idiots who say funny crap. Like the time when Limbaugh called Biden a Chia pet.

Yakoska (496 )
10 Mar 10 UTC

Hmmmm....
NCIS
Big Bang Theory
Mythbusters
Hmmm... Probably a big bubble here...
CSI (The Reruns on Spike, not the new ones...)
The other two decent shows before Big Bang (2 1/2 men, and Met your mother) probably fit in here.

Tantris (2456 )
10 Mar 10 UTC

In no particular order:
NCIS
Castle
Better Off Ted
Big Bang Theory
Mythbusters

KaptinKool (408 )
10 Mar 10 UTC

@drrobotnik - they are making an Arrested Development movies... so stay tuned for that, it should be hilarious.

@Aconomist - I am not a fan of Bush because of his horrendous fiscal policy and lack of action on the social front, I am not pretending to be a moderate.

dangermouse (5551 )
10 Mar 10 UTC

NCIS
Psych - was really good until this last season. Seems to have fallen off a cliff recently though.
I don't watch enough TV to add 3 more...

@Burn Notice fans - I understand why you like it, I'm addicted too... but it sure has some godawful acting from the main characters. (Bruce Campbell being the exception)

Thucydides (864 )
10 Mar 10 UTC

What if its between seasons?

If so:

Peep Show
The Office (US)
Modern Family
Community
Flashforward or V I don't know which

Thucydides (864 )
10 Mar 10 UTC

Lol Acosmist, Beck is kind of rude though, any sort of politics aside.

He was rude to Debra Medina for instance, the second she went off the air. Like.... come on man be nice.

lulzworth (366 )
10 Mar 10 UTC

Peep Show. Didn't think anyone else watched that.

Well, I suppose I can't be the only one as it hasn't been cancelled and is probably extremely popular in the UK, but from an American perspective, it feels very secret.

LJ TYLER DURDEN (334 )

Stargate Universe

From a UK perspective

Being Human - it's just finished, but we only get 8 at a time
Doctor Who - 4 weeks to go (or so). Yay.
QI - The XL version for preference
Glee - I should hate this, but I'm hooked.
Chuck - Can Virgin1 get thier act together and start showing season 3 damnit

jman777 (407 )
10 Mar 10 UTC

@Thucy

I like V alot too (Elizabeth Mitchell does a pretty good job), but they stopped airing it back in november or december and it doesn't start up again until late March so I figured it was off-limits.

Thucydides (864 )
10 Mar 10 UTC

And I guess LOST can go on list too... I haven't been watching though. I love the show, but will finish everything once everything is out on tape.

sean (3490 )
11 Mar 10 UTC

V starts soon, later this week or eaarly next week maybe.
Peep show, yes i have to dl it from torrents to watch it, easily the best comedy of the last few years.

golly i miss the shield and the wire, are there any decent dramas with balls these days or are they boring prodedure unrealistic pretty boy and girl nonsence?
