mccoyn: You got 4 right and we have 9 in common.

What's New Scooby Doo on the WB is very enjoyable, particularly if you watched the original when you were a kid.

I like Deep Space 9 on SpikeTV and Star Trek <the original> showing at random intervals on SciFi Network.

If you're a CSI fan, they're showing tons of episodes this week on SpikeTV.

Mine:
CSI (all)
Mythbusters
American Chopper
American Hot Rod
Monster Garage
Holmes on Homes
Real Renos
Build or Bust
Formula 1 (all)

Hers:
Desperate Housewives
24
Survivor
Coronation Street

As you can tell, we have wildly different interests...although I do admit to watching Desperate Housewives...

I have all the Family Guy DVD's, and I do watch Arrested Development, just need to remember to record it...

Tom

You guys were watching What's New Scooby Doo as kids? I was probably on my way out of High School by then! Fortunately they still have the original Scooby Doo, Where are you? running on the cartune network for old bastards like me. There's also M*A*S*H which still makes me laugh...

Here's a few I didn't see in anyone's list:

Walker's Cay Chronicles....good fly flishing
In Search of Fly Water....more good fly fishing
Spanish Fly....more good fly fishing
Fly Fish TV ....you get the picture by now, I'm sure
Globe Trekker ....the Lonely Planet travel show, going lot's of exotic places with good fishing.

What can I say? I'm in Alaska and it makes the winters go by fast. At the end of the summer I have a whole season's worth of tv to watch too. Thanks for keeping this forum going....and especially for the continued work and support on Knoppmyth. I'm hooked! (no pun intended) DM

How do you find time to watch this much TV.

My current TV:
Seinfeld
That 70s show (once in a while)
Jay Leno (first 20 mins)
Committed (just started watching)
Desparate HW (both of us)
Smallville (wife only)
Gilmore Girls (wife only)

Since getting MythTv set up, I've been curious as to what is out there that might be worth watching, since pre-MythTv I couldn't stand to watch much because of the incessant, loud, irritating commercials. Horray for KnoppMyth! Here's my list, from which I cherry pick perhaps 40% of what's recorded in roughly this order of preference:

• BBC World News (keep 1, record new, to always have the latest news) *
• Battlestar Galactica
• The Daily Show (sad that a comedy prog is some of the best news comment available) *
• Star Trek Enterprise (each time I watch it I wonder why, but then whatshername walks past in her tight suit)
• Scrubs (good, light but smart sitcom) *
• Arrested Development (imaginative sitcom, as mentioned earlier in the thread) *
• Nova
• Newshour with Jim Lehrer (keep 1, record new) *
• South Park *
• The Simpsons *
• Globe Trekker (travel - often excellent) *
• Austin City Limits (live music - occasionally good artists) *

* - also watched by the wife.

I've been enjoying Battlestar Galactica as not being as sickly or quite as ludicrous as the various Star Trek, but I'm disappointed they had to bring religion into it all. I like Scifi in principle, with an emphasis on the "Sci" and as much plausibility as possible. Frequently though, the SciFi label is just a cover for Magic-Fantasy, which I find tedious and, ironically, unimaginative.

So I'm adding Modern Marvels based on this thread. I'd love to hear other recommendations...

Like so many people:

South Park
Simpsons
Lost

We also record

Alias
Stargate
Stargate Atlantis
random bad sci-fi channel movies (Mansquito!)

and I'd be recording Family Guy too if I didn't have the DVDs. I'll sure be getting Family Guy and American Dad on May 1st! New episodes!

She tapes Desperate Housewives and weird reality shows like Frontier House and Regency House or whatever it's called. I don't mind - while she's watching chick shows I can shoot Nazis in Day Of Defeat.

my guess for Cesman's shows:

Chapelle
South Park
Simpsons
Good Eats
Iron Chef
Nova

You got 4 right! I usually watch Iron Chef, I don't really care for Iron Chef America. I don't care for South Park.

I have added 2 more shows:

The New Season(s) of Family Guy on Fox.
American Dad

I watched the pilot on their website and it seemed good.

2 more in common!

I don't understand what those words mean when they're all run together like that. It looks like english, but I simply can't parse it. "Mr. Garrison's Fancy New Vagina" (march 9th I think) was so beautiful I cried.

What else. Lots of my recordings are singles. Looks like they're usually on the scifi channel. March 26th was a Bruce Campbell day -- I got Terminal Invasion, Army of Darkness, and Alien Apocolypse. I still haven't watched the Legend of Earthsea miniseries from march 1st.

Oh, I know. Wire In The Blood, on BBC-america. I'm only recording non-digital cable right now (a hurdle for another day) or it'd be in my schedule. Lots of good shows on BBC's mystery monday.

I don't like it. Alien Apocolypse was interesting... I was going to watch Earthsea, but when the author she self reject it, I thought why bother...

Lucky man. She was justified. It made Bond films look like they were true to Ian Flemming's stories, not to mention being so dumb that you could lose 10-20 IQ points just by watching it.

Ya - did you see the "In the Mirror, Darkly"?

Little Tramp Hoshi...

Wow.
