24 is still the only show I watch religiously, even with the 'meh' storyline this season.

I checked out Deadwood on HBO last night, and thought that the one thing that would make it worth watching was adding spaceships.

And for all ASH fans and Spooks (damn MI-5 as the title, that's the tag line and no more - "its MI-5, not 9 to 5), ASH appears in season 2 for an episode, with what sounds like the worst cockney accent ever - except its his real accent!

He's also the PM in the hilarious Little Britain TV show.

"Spooks" used to be a derogatory term for people of African decent in some areas. Not sure if that has anything to do with anything... much less the reason for changing a name of a show... but you never know.

I used to watch Law and Order - after a while though, you know the pacing and the standard plotline/plotline variants and it all pretty much seems the same. The various spin-offs haven't seemed much different. Same show, different crimes.

I really wanted to give "Enterprise" a chance. The infamous "gel decontamination" scene in the Pilot, followed by a lot of gratiutous flesh in subsequent episodes (Vulcan pressure techniques my a**, McBain) just turned me off. I have no problem whatsoever with sex and/or scantily clad people on TV, but when it has zero pertinence to the plot, it's just pandering.

Tried "Stargate SG-1" for a while but then it seemed to get silly.

Watched Futurama, but it got bounced around between timeslots on Canadian cable and it was hard to find from week to week. Then... cancellerama.

Simpsons and South Park are currently the only shows that I make a solid effort to watch. I find it really sad that a 15-year old cartoon that probably peaked about ten years ago and a mildly entertaining but mostly unimaginative satire cartoon are the best ongoing non-cable TV series available right now.

I've heard a lot of good things about the Sopranos and Six Feet Under, but both are way too far into the series to be able to start watching now. I guess I'll have to borrow or rent the DVD box sets.

Anyone ever watch John Doe? Another victim of the Friday Night Death Slot...

After watching the first ep of Deadwood, I think I'll stick with it for a while along with Sopranos and The Shield. I can't find anything else out there worth even 5 minutes of my time.

The Shield is pretty cool. Caught it the past three weeks. Fairly good cop show.

A definite possibility - for more trivial reasons, but over here Smallville was initially subtitled as Superman to let people know what it was really about.
