Here's my list of "current" shows broken up into genre in no particular order of preference.

Drama:
24, The Guardian, Practice, ED, 24, ER, CSI, Dawson Creek.

Genre:
Buffy, Angel, Dead Zone, Smallville, Black Sash, Enterprise, Twilight Zone, Alias, John Doe

Comedy:
Everybody Loves Raymond, Scrubs, Friends, Will & Grace, Good Morning Miami

Animation:
Futurama, Simpson, Trigun, Innuyasha, Samurai Jack, .Hack//Sign, Rurouni Kenshin

I actually watch a lot more, but they're either reruns (i.e. Farscape, Cowboy Beebop, Justice League, Yu-Gi-Yo, etc..) or syndicated (Stargate, Seinfeld, etc.).

Reality Series:
Okay, so I watch American Idol. I think Ruben whupass.

And if you hadn't noticed by now, I watch a lot of cartoons and anime. I also read a lot of comics. So now you know.

--Angel, which has lately taken a turn for the bizarre but is still leaps and bounds better than Buffy. And, um, I'll see anything with Gina Torres in it.

--Six Feet Under, the best show on TV right now

--Gilmore Girls, because of the snappy dialogue, good acting, and, of course, Kirk

--Buffy and The West Wing, out of sheer loyalty (and, um, I'll see anything with Nathan Fillion in it)

I thought Miracles had promise, until they killed it and cemented my deep bitterness towards network television. I may start watching Lucky, because it sounds like it could work. And I guess that's it!

Hey Haken posted. And how do you watch all those shows? My brain would melt. That's way too much TV for me.

That's funny Haken.

DOBSON: Okay. I can see you're not an idiot.

Thanks for all the show recomendations! We are networkly challenged in my vicinity. No UPN (a converted family member now sends me Enterprise tapes) no Scifi, no HBO, but it is good to know there is stuff out there if we ever get decent cable.

I feel for you, no really I feel for you. Even with the little TV I watch it's kinda relaxing to get involved in a series.

DOBSON: Okay. I can see you're not an idiot.

DOBSON: I'm supposed to be meeting my wife's sister. I've only got a few days to see her...

ZOE: I wish there was another way...

DOBSON: Oh, no, no. That woman is like a dragon. I mean, I believe she has a tail. If there's any other moons we need to visit, or if we could just
fly very slowly...

Nothing.

Not a damned thing...

I killed off the "idiot box" rather permanently somewhere back in the whole OJ media circus when I became utterly convinced that nothing unique or original was EVER going to come out of it.

Firefly surprised me, I do catch occasional (thankfully only occasional) glimpses of the garbage other people watch, and for some reason the teasers for Firefly caught my eye and I figured what the hell, not like I don't have an off button in case it sucks as hard as *everything* else on TV these days.

The ONE decent show on TV and Fox had to murder it, boy are they , some folks tend to hold a serious grudge about things like that, and I'm one of em.

To replace it with trash like "fastlane" was an even worse insult... nothing more than a yuppie rewrite of miami vice and lacking in anything even resembling originality, not to mention the whole premise of "john doe" has been done before, to death...

GAAAAHHH!!!

I don't watch it, but I think he's going to win. I'll let you know if there's looting.

Heck, if he loses, there'll be looting.

Oh! And you can go to Parisian here and buy a Ruben jersey for the remarkable price of $150.

I can tell you what I won't be watching, that "show" with Monica Lewd-insky. Does that look like it will suck or what (pun intended!).
My list, not necessarily in order of favorite:
Farscape
24
Futurama-Simpsons-King of the Hill-Malcolm in the Middle
Samari Jack
Enterprise
John Doe

Talk peace, but, carry a BIG stick.
