As was the cse with Firefly, all of the shows that I really really really like get cancelled before the first season is over. Hopefully someone will know these....

Key West

Men Behaving Badly.

Stark Raving Mad.

Anyone ever watch a show called Portal? (btw I'm new here so Hi!)
If you ever get this channel called G4 you have to watch Portal, it's like a soap opera based on RPGs with a twisted sense of humor.
I'm also a fan of Las Vegas. Josh Duhmel is yummy...=)
Ooh, and Futurama. Another good show that got canceled. At least it got more than one season.

M*A*S*H is # 1 for me. My parents loved it and now I do.

Roswell. I don't care what all the boobs out there say, and yes, I do see the flaws, but it still captivated me.

Simpsons, of course, home of the do'oh!

Smallville, even though it whooped up on Roswell in the ratings.

Angel, but no so much Buffy. Not quite sure why.

On a side note, Manic, you are my kind of crazy!!! Keep it up!!!

But if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty floral bonnet, I will end you.

Hey, hey!

Well there's Firefly... Oh wait, yeah FOX SUX!!!

The only two shows I try not to miss--

ALIAS. My daughter tapes for me since I work Sunday nights. I love Sloan and Marshall. Marshall's the best! I loved the whole "tie for Sloan" bit!

Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. I need these guys to come and do a makeover for me, except I don't live in NY... oh yeah and I'm not a guy. Details, schmetails!

Worth watching if I don't have anything else to do (and my girls make me watch 'em) --

Joan of Arcadia - Even if her mom, and lately her dad too, really irritate the HECK out of me! I love seeing what God is going to look like next.

Smallville - when it's NOT all about Lana!

Tru Calling - Faith Dushku is sweet.

Angel - I loved Harmony's episode! What a hoot! And Spike is a hottie!

Whose Line Is It Anyways? - Always good for a laugh-- or 50.

WOW! For not watching much TV, that's a lot of viewing hours. And it doesn't even count the time spent watching Firefly DVD's!

None of these make me feel guilty though. Just kinda couch-potato-ish. For REAL TV-viewing guilt, I'd have to dig into old shows like Gilligan's Island and Hogan's Heroes!
Or how about checking out Ron Glass in Barney Miller? Nothing to feel guilty about there.... except a little obsession.

You're gonna come with us...

Hmm.. maybe. I do recall his playing Weyoun (was it #5 and #6?) on DS9.

Uh, yeah. His roles on DS9 include:

1) Weyoun (all of them...)
2) An alien whose name I can't ever recall who wanted a holosuite program with Maj. Kira
3) And my personal favorite, Brunt, a Ferenghi auditor.

Quote:
Was that the movie with Michael J. Fox as a guy who could see ghosts? I don't remember JC's character in the movie but I certainly remember that drill sergeant from Full Metal Jacket

Yep. That's the one. Figures he was in Full Metal Jacket, a movie I know I'll never see.

And as for the person calling Smallville "Superman 90210"...yep. It most certainly is. It's a goofy little show, but I still watch it. That's why I started this thread in the first place. What's the lamest show you still watch....

I've never been a big TV watcher, but I was a huge trekkie for a few years, until I realized it was too expensive a habit for me.

However, there was one show that used to air before "Star Trek: Voyager" on UPN...it was called "7 Days" or something like that. Essentially, there was this government installation that had the technology to send one person back in time up to seven days, and it was his job to avert various disasters and such. Not a bad premise, but essentially limited, which is why I'm pretty sure it's not running anymore.

Definitely veg-out TV. I remember one episode being a blatant ripoff of The Abyss, including the liquid breathing system and whatnot.

Ooohhhh...THE ABYSS. Loved that film, which is unusual for me. I usually find ex-spouses re-uniting too unrealistic for my taste.

In Frighteners, Jeffrey Combs played the whacked out FBI agent that had the gang tattos all over his body.

I, however, have been hooked on JC's acting ever since I saw him in "Reanimator". Come on, people! I can't be the only one who saw that piece of schlock cinema!

My guilty pleasures?

1. Buffy/Angel/Firefly (of course)

2. Cowboy U - city slickers take a crash course in cowboy stuff to compete in a rodeo and win money...you mean, Real World with horses?!?)

3. Real World/Road Rules - as long as the drama is on tv and not in my life, we're good

4. Tru Calling - oh Eliza...whyyyyyyyyy??!?

5. Freaks and Geeks - anyone else miss that show?

6. Any Vh1 countdown (old at 25, that's me)
