What are your favorites?

[Ktrek]

OK...now that I have you hooked I want you to please read this carefully. I want to know...

What are your favorite NON SCI-Fi TV shows. Did you notice the word NON?

I think one of my personal favorites is Seinfeld. I think this is a hilarious show about nothing. It is just so crazy how they can take everyday ordinary stuff we all deal with and make it so funny.

I also really enjoyed the show Friends but I think there were a lot of questionable moral aspects of the show.

Another favorite is NCIS. I really have come to love this show. There are aspects about the show that bug me but overall I love it and do not miss an episode.

So how about you?

PS. Yea...if you think Kevin is just trying to get the members more involved in posting? YOU'RE RIGHT! I have never seen a board where so many members log in and say nothing! Come on people. Let's make this the best forum there is! It can't happen if nobody communicates!

[Geekyfanboy]

The West Wing
CSI

[Ktrek]

I should add that a couple of my other favorites are on the Discovery Channel. I really enjoy Survivorman and also Man VS. Wild. The two shows are similar in that each host puts himself purposefully into a survival situation and shows what to do in order to survive. Fascinating stuff!

[Hancider]

Yeah I like:

Scrubs - Funniest Show on TV IMO
Arrested Developement on G4
Who's Line is it Anyway
Deadliest Catch - Oh Yeah Baby
Mythbusters
Almost anything on Discovery or History Channels.

I like Man vs Wild more than Survivorman myself.  I think the guy on Survivorman kinda whines a lot while he is out there.  I  mean hey you put yourself out there dude didn't you know it was going to be a pain in the but.  Anyways yeah I like old Bear Grillz although what is with the one clip in the show intro that looks like he is taking a dump what is all that about.

Oh yes and don't forget Gilmore Girls LOL.   But no really I am serious.   LOL.

My favorite shows are Star Trek (all 5), Stargate (both), and Firefly.  I don't watch any other shows as far as fiction goes.

I don't have a favorite non-fiction show, but I do watch a lot of programming on The History Channel, The Discovery Channel, and to a lesser extent, Animal Planet. :)

[pktrekgirl]

You mean there are shows on other channels besides the Scifi Channel and TCM?  :blink

Incredible!

Well, I don't watch any non-scifi shows at the moment.  But the two most recent non-scifi shows I have watched and enjoyed where 24 and Prison Break.  I don't have time to watch either one of them, however...and will have to wait for the DVDs to get caught up on this past season.

Past TV shows that I thought were very good were

Homicide:  Life on the Street
The Sopranos
Seinfeld
M*A*S*H
ER (before it jumped the shark several years ago)
Sex and the City
Cagney & Lacey
Hill Street Blues
L.A. Law

[Rico]

Good topic idea.  Some of my current non-SF favorites:

24, Prison Break, House, Family Guy, American Dad, Lost (is this SF?)

Past favs:

I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting about...

[Bryancd]

A lot of mine have already been mentioned. I'll add the coolest cat in Hawaii: Magnum PI

[Duffster]

Most have mine have also been mentioned, but my wife and I enjoy a lot of the reality tv stuff... (yea, we are some of THOSE people). My favorite is The Amazing Race. I also enjoy some of Comedy Centrals stuff especially Reno 911 and the Showbiz Show.

But really, the only shows I REALLY like are Sci-Fi shows.
