Your favorite current TV show is?
 
Mine is PUSHING DAISIES. I'm surprised that a show with such a loopy outlook and so much imagination even made it on the air. It's wonderfully different - like a cross between Dr. Suess and THE MOD SQUAD. It has imaginative storylines, great characters, and just right pacing. A winner all the way!

Plus it has Kristen Chenowith, whose depth of talents astound me. IMO she is our finest musical-comedy performer. And, as her stint in THE WEST WING proved, she's also an adept dramatic actress. She can do it all! I saw her perform with the Boston Pops and, well, she was incredible!

Guess I'm a fan.

Madmen on AMC - Great story, great sets, great time period.

danj 10-01-2008 11:27 AM

Yes. That show is VERY well done in all departments. My only gripe is that AMC has way too many commercial breaks. Commercial breaks are too frequent everywhere but AMC seems to be the worst.

I loved seeing Robert Morse again. He was quite the rising star when I was a kid but his career pretty much faded away with the 60s. If you've never seen one of his films you should do yourself a favor and rent one. My favorite is "How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" from 1967.:yes:

The local news...

If/when I watch any TV, it's a DVD.

This is the way I watch it. Series on DVD or on Demand is a great way to watch. No commercials and you can watch a bunch at one sitting.

ttamd 10-01-2008 12:57 PM

"Eureka" or "House" (or "Ghost Hunters")

One of the best spy shows, ever :thmbsp:

Psych might be my fave of the current shows. USA let's you watch them online.

KeninDC 10-01-2008 01:00 PM

I've been digging "Rescue Me" on DVD as of late.

New season in March.

Jack Lord 10-01-2008 01:14 PM

I actually got into Swingtown but it was killed off.

ekmanning5 10-01-2008 01:15 PM

Not in any particular order...
Mad Men.
Breaking Bad.
My Name is Earl.
The music on My Name is Earl is great. Any show that plays Nick Drake AND Lynard Skynard is ok in my book. :thmbsp:

walkandtalk 10-01-2008 01:19 PM

I just found "Corner Gas" on WGN, and then I found out it's been cancelled. There's something about the dry humor and the straight delivery that just get me laughing. Last night's episode was particularly good: the hat-wearing guy had a good hair day, so he didn't wear his hat. And the four female characters all exchanged jobs, to see who's was the hardest. Great stuff, and even my grandparents can't find anything offensive (except the old fart character who constantly calls everyone a jackass).

"Breaking Bad" was also exceptional. It had me riveted. My favorite scene there was when they tried to dispose of a body by disolving it in the tub...

danj 10-01-2008 01:26 PM

Those are some mighty fine shows. Y'all have good tastes.

Snade 10-01-2008 01:32 PM

Damn. Sorry to hear that. I thought Swingtown might be too high quality to last.
On the cheap thrills side, I love Lost and Heroes and 30 Rock.

The cable service I buy is $11.00/month and only includes the networks and TBS. So I don't get to see what's on AMC, TNT, Discovery, or any of those networks.

My cable bill would be $48.00 a month for that stuff. I'm willing to spend $132 per year to see TV, but not $576.

SaSi 10-01-2008 02:34 PM

House MD and Boston Legal.

And every so often I play Band of Brothers once more.

chathamdad 10-01-2008 02:37 PM

Looks like the producers of "Swingtown" are shopping it around on cable. This one always seemed like it would be better there anyway.

Mad Men, absolutely. killer writing, acting, set design, pure story telling and character study through showing, not telling, and always with a touch of ambiguity

bighairydude 10-01-2008 05:51 PM

Robot Chicken...makes me laugh out loud...15 minutes an episode is not enough.

In Plain sight...cause Mary McCormack is hot and she has a big silver faced receiver in her living room(gotta love that)

tshoejohn 10-01-2008 08:28 PM

Myth Busters. I’d love to do that. Get paid to blow stuff up!

tasha 10-01-2008 08:33 PM

By far, Mad Men is the best on TV. I'm one of those 10PM only shows people. had to give up Brothers & Sisters for it. Don't miss the "what's their name family name?". The writer's strike caused a lot of grief and surfing. Had to wait for 6 months to find out what happened to "H" on the Miami CSI. The CSI series are barely on my watch list but Miami is the best.

For some strange reason, the broadcast networks had me as a captive audience in the 10 spot for a decade, ER, CSI, Law & Order and other good shows. For the past two years, I've found other shows to replace their fare. And I am really burned out on Law & Order!

techsui 10-01-2008 08:41 PM

2nd the Robot Chicken. Seth Green is a genius.

I also really like The Office.

Rome 10-01-2008 09:08 PM

Gotta love Reno 911!

Man vs. Wild is quite interesting also.
