Your Fav TV...

kmick

So what do you watch Monday to Friday that we should all be watching. I find myself flicking between all my sky channels, watching nothing. What should we sit down to watch each day. I have tried Lost(muck) and 24(who cares) but neither float my boat. Wife watches housewives, nip tuck and they are bearable mostly. I tend to watch top gear, location, when its on but I dont sit down and watch anything every week. Any recommendations?

Will try these ones. Never heard of Lewis or Drawn Together?

Lewis only started last night. It's Sergeant Lewis from Morse, Kevin Whately, only now he's the Detective.
There was a one off done about a year ago and it was great.

Drawn Together is really funny, it's an adult cartoon about superheroes living in a Big Brother type house. Very close to the bone on occasion, but hilarious.

Scrubs

Killaqueen!!!

ixoy you really need to get out more! :eek:

I watch

Lost
Desperate Housewives
Prison Break (awaiting series 2)
Ugly Betty

and of course, CSI

I meant to watch Studio 60 but I missed the first 2 episodes so I don't think I'll watch it tonight. It's already going to be cancelled anyway...

I only watch the first two like clockwork. I've missed two episodes of Ugly Betty (grr...) and Scrubs I watch whenever it's on.
