    Favorite TV shows

    One of my favorite shows Chuck just ended its run on NBC. It goes without saying that The Office isn't what it once was, in fact I couldn't make it through two minutes of yesterday's episode before I shut it off. I watch NCIS and NCIS: Los Angeles a little but, but I started to get a little tired of the Los Angeles version because I swear that not once has the end of an episode resulted in the suspect being brought into custody. It usually ends up with the main villain in a body bag. I guess my favorite show currently is Boardwalk Empire. Who doesn't enjoy a prohibition-era gangster show?

    The writers' are anticipating everyone viewing the final scene with optimism rather than pessimism. I implied from the final scene that Chuck and Sarah were more likely to live happier ever after rather than not, but I still would've preferred some sort of definitive indication.

    Don't really watch dramas but I do watch reality shows on collectables like Storage Wars, American Pickers, Pawn Stars even though they are scripted. Also political comedies like This hour has 22 minutes and the Rick Mercer report.

    I guess two of my favourite comedies airing now are It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia and Curb Your Enthusiasm. I probably watch more comedy on television than any other episodic television. I'm big on sketch comedy like Mr. Show, Kids In The Hall, and obviously Monty Python. Speaking of Brits, I'm a big Steve Coogan fan, and like many of the projects he's been involved with.

    And based on my avatar, you can assume there's another show I'm kinda fond of.

    I like Big Bang Theory, but the character of Amy Farrah-Fowler is starting to annoy the hell out of me.

    I also enjoy Star Trek, but contrary to many people I am a fan of Deep Space Nine over The Next Generation. I like the way that DS9 presented the universe as a more darker and grittier place even if it conflicted with Roddenberry's vision.

    Yes, I did like the ending. BTW, did you catch that the last episode was like a mirror image of the first one ever?

    OOOOH, Breaking Bad is killer. Great watching that then heading to bed. haha. Curb Your Enthusiasm is funny as hell. Mike and Molly is as funny as it gets for new shows along with Whitney and Modern Family are also good.

    I however love Cops, The First 48 my total favorite show. I'm a sucker for any and all of the Jail shows like Jail, Locked Up Abroad etc. Any real deal shows like these.
    DDD, You Gotta Eat Here also are killer. Other great shows on The Food Network. We're foodies who love to cook all sorts of ethnic foods.

    Favorite old show from when I was a kid has to be Wild Wild West. Rat Patrol also rocked. Lately we've been watching That Girl. My wife is eleven years younger so although she knows many of the older shows some she is just missed out on.

    Honestly I've missed a bunch and could go on and on. Back on here because I forgot Canadian and American Pickers, Bait Car, oh the list goes on. SNL. The Comedy Network Roasts. Holy crap they are a blast.

    I watch a ton of tv and love it!

    A show that could have led to world peace if it lasted longer, and probably the best theme song ever from a Saturday morning kids show.

    Cool

    Masterpiece Theatre.

    Nature.

    Klingons Gone Wild.

    Highlander: The Series (now on re-runs)

    Those Quebec-French guys with their cooking show, where they hunt/fish, then drink, and then cook.

    Survivorman.

    Adventures of a Call-Girl, or whatever it is called.

    Argonaut Football.

    The Military Channel.

    Anthony Bourdain : No Reservations.

    Meteorite Men ... but only when they're drinking.

    TLN : The Latino Channel ... before 5am ... then they switch from porn to cartoons....

    I also totally like, like, documentaries.

    Personally, I'm really just into winter hiking (though I like to go up and down small hills and ravines -- for the exercise), but I like the same spectacular views, the same stars at night, the same spirit of adventure, the same adrenaline (well, somewhat), and the same fun that all of us do, who appreciate the outdoors.

    These guys and gals are the real deal; me, I just like similar rewards, without the similar strains.

    I make no apology for that; like 1argoholic, I am closer to Fifty than to Forty.

    I want the view, I want the excitement. I did work at erecting structural scaffolding for Rock 'n' Roll shows in my Twenties; it was fun, and we were tied off most of the time. Except when we were climbing. Whatever, I had my share of adrenaline. Actually, it was quite easy --- at least no one was shooting at us. Unlike our friends and family who were and are stationed in recent combat zones.


    Anyway, here's a very cool documentary :


    http://www.snagfilms.com/films/title/beyond_gravity

    Also, as per my Hard Rock specialties, I would suggest, that one might wish to crank the music,
    whether with headphones, or with other forms of embellishment.

    Ka 'Pla !

    Na Zdorovlia !

    No Reservations is great and I'd like to party with Anthony Bourdain. Haven't seen the show in a while. Not sure what station it's on now.

    Oh man loved HR Puff N Stuff and Banana Splits as a kid. Tell me heavy pot wasn't smoked by the creators of these shows. Another classic was The Hillarious House Of Frightenstein or something like that. It was that one Canadian actor Billy something that played most of the characters. Last I saw of that show was at 3 am at a Victoria hotel after my wife I went to see some bands. I was hammered and so excited to see this show again.

    I LOVED Gumby and Pokey. I have a Gumby that sits in the pocket of my Argoholic coveralls. I also have a black T that has a glow in the dark Gumby. Always a hit when I break that t out. haha.

    It's the Grouse Grind. Never done it but they talk about it on the news a fair bit. Just what are they doing up that mountain?
