so where is Baywatch, Big Brother, and The Nanny on your list?

jenna · 2nd July 2005, 02:53 PM

Baywatch is boring. i'll admit to watching Big Brother, but mostly because i have a huge crush on Dean

and often it's the only thing on late night, especially at the moment with the bloody tennis and cricket

grrr (getting foxtel switched on again in like 4 days, so won't be a problem much longer). The Nanny is one of those shows i'll watch if it's on like Seinfeld etc.
OMG i totally forgot to add Oprah and Dr Phil!!!

Calis · 2nd July 2005, 02:57 PM

you scare me.

FYI Cricket and Tennis is on Foxtel at the moment as well.

Big Brother sucks.

lol, true.

If i expressed my true feelings I would be banned big time.

Is any one else amazed it comes back year after year? Who's watching it? Who could possibly find it interesting? I wish Channel Nine had picked it up at the start, it'd have been given the chop after two nights. But Ten will show anything, I suppose....

I think ratings are dropping.

It seems that the reality crase has dropped off as well as those DIY shows, backyard blitz etc.
Get rid of Idol and its easy street.

"Smallville"
"Everwood"
"ER"
"King of the Hill"
"Full House"
"Sister; Sister"
"Once & Again"

jenna · 22nd July 2005, 02:25 AM

oh yeah, i totally forgot to add QUANTUM LEAP to my list! i freaking love that show!

Quokka · 22nd July 2005, 09:52 AM

Buffy, Blackadder, Scrubs (not that I can see it now im back in Oz

), American Chopper, MASH, Cheers, Monkey, Distraction (with Jimmy Carr), Law & Order: SVU, Sienfeld, That 70's show, The Big Gig, The first few seasons of Scrapeheap Challange and pretty much any sience/space doco.....hmm pretty heavy on the comedy

jnr_turtle · 22nd July 2005, 10:13 AM

Seinfeld and Simpsons will forever be classics for me =)

X-Files, although I haven't seen much of it, enjoys its permanent status as the first TV show I was addicted to.

Shows that I wish came back: JAG and Ed (Damn Australia!)

Current must-see shows: Lost and most of all House! Not sure Dr House's a sexy bitch he's the coolest bastard around XD Watching Iron Chef is also now a household tradition.

I've never seen an BB episode in my life, but the way it's advertised nowadays I can't imagine reacting any other way than a shudder. That said, some of my friends who formerly did not watch it, have said that you get hooked if you start. Now that's an evil program if ever I saw one

jenna · 22nd July 2005, 01:56 PM

lol it is one of those evil shows. although since having cable re-connected i don't watch it, but ESPECIALLY now that Dean got evicted there's no way i'll watch it. i could care less who wins. there's a few shows like that that are so bad they're addictive. for example The Swan. i hate that show, it's unbelievably bad and insulting and i hate it, but i love it, can't get enough of it! ditto Rockstar INXS, and a few others.
BTW trust me, Dr House is soooooooooo one of the sexiest bitches on television at the moment!

i so don't understand how law and order SVU can be anyone's favourite show?? a show about rape and even better, child rape. yay, riveting. not. i do flick over in the ad breaks to catch a glimpse of Chris Meloni, because he's freaking GORGEOUS, but i could never watch an actual episode. i think it's one of the most irresponsible shows ever created, because it normalises rape for entertainment purposes.... *end rant*

Aside from Medical Investigation, I love all of those.

Farscape is by far the best show I have ever seen.
Also:
Dr. Who
Friday the 13th
Thundercats
Conan (cartoon)
GI Joe
Ewok cartoon

Um...I really like cartoons.

Fair enough jenna, I know where your comming from with SVU and some of the episodes can be disturbing. the main reason I watch svu over Law and Order etc. is i never watched Law and Order when it started then found i quite liked the format when I saw the odd episode on repeat, so when SVU started up it was a chance to watch a series from the begining, plus i particularly like the characters/actors of the four main detectives. Criminal Intent is good but I find one hour of cop/detective shows is all i can handle a week. I do disagree that it's irresponsible in its depiction of events or that it normalises them. Personally I'm more concerned by the way other shows (and other parts of our culture/s) sexualise children as well as what gets suggested as effective/acceptable behaviour for both men and women.

Just my two cents.
