Since it seemed that people watched almost more tv then movies I figured I'd ask the same question just about tv shows instead. So, whats good? What would you recommend? Anything to stay away from?

Leverage
Burn Notice
Sons of Anarchy
Castle
Harry's Law
Glee
No Ordinary Family
Being Human (British version. I was super unimpressed with the frame by frame rip offs and overly Twilight-y vampire on the American 'SyFy' version. Though this season is getting a bit weird.)
Doctor Who


Those are my "Must Sees". Then, there are the shows that are amusing or even guilty pleasures.

Celebrity Apprentice (Watching Meatloaf nearly kill Gary Busey was just too much)
The Sing-Off
American Pickers
Only in America with Larry the Cable Guy
Top Gear (BBC Version. The American version is okay.)

Let's see, as far as awesome TV shows go, here are some of my favorites:

Home Movies - animated cartoon by Brandon Small. Don't watch it for the animation (in the beginning they had to use squiggle animation cause it was cheaper); watch it for the characters. Coach McGuirk is hilarious.

Legend of the Seeker - Based on the "Sword of Truth" series by Terry Goodkind. If you've read the books and can get past the fact that the t.v. series is not 100% accurate to the books, than you might enjoy it.

Pushing Daises - Sort of a comedy/story book t.v. show. It's very funny and has a great cast of characters. I also really liked the settings and colors they used throughout this show; it gives it a unique feel unlike most other shows. It's narrarated by this cool guy also (I forget his name).

Futurama - What can I say? It's Futurama!

Prison Break - First Season was really great and I would recommend that one at least. The following seasons were okay, but as it continued on to the final fourth season, it seemed like they tried to make it too complicated.

As for guilty pleasures, I guess the only one I really ever watch that would qualify is Hell's Kitchen, cause I like seeing Gordon Ramsey yell at people.

Hehe. I wasn't sure if I should only include shows still on the air or not. If we want to broaden it to favorites of all time, I would have to add:

Pushing Daisies (Kristin Chenoweth, aka Olive, is my idol)
Firefly, Buffy (pretty much anything by Joss Whedon)
Oh, I also forgot Supernatural.

And yeah, we get into Hell's Kitchen too. Also, Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares. The American Kitchen Nightmares is okay, but we feel that the Brit version tells a better story instead of going straight for the shock value. Yeah, the hubby and I watch a lot of BBC America

Olive is so cute and tiny. I just want to put her in my pocket. I love how they started calling her "Itty Bitty" later and that she adds some musical numbers into the show from time to time.

I've watched some of the American version of Kitchen Nightmares and I did hear the British version was better, but have yet to watch that.

We haven't been to the movies in AGES! I think most people are choosing to stay home and watch T.V. what with the movies running $15 a ticket! lol

So for Rorschach and I the T.V. shows we like..(and only rarely agree upon..lol)

Currently still Running and in no particular order:
True Blood (I am a huge fan of the Sookie Stackhouse novels so while I love the show I am often just as angry at it lol)
UFC/Strikeforce/MMA Programs in General
The Ultimate Fighter
I'd Do Anything (Aursra if you haven't watched this one yet you need to! LOL It's on the BBC and is a competition wherein people compete for the lead role in an upcoming theater musical with none other than Andrew Lloyd Webber Judging!)
Extreme Home Makover
No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain and many others on the Travel Channel but mostly Bourdain. lol
Most programs on Nat Geo, the Science Channel, and Animal Planet
The Ricky Gervais Show
An Idiot Abroad
The United States of Tara
Family Guy
American Dad
Futurama
Robot Chicken
Metalocalypse
RuPaul's Drag Race
Scariest Places on Earth
CSI (the original only)
I know I'm forgetting something...it seems like a lot but a bunch of these run in 12 episode season cycles so they are all rarely running new episodes at once. lol

Show's that I love that are no longer running:
Buffy
Big Love
Xena and Hercules
Charmed (Up to the last few seasons anyway before the fake witchery began to offend my real life witchery lol)
Blood Ties (A wonderful series based on the books by Tanya Huff, got totally robbed by the writers strike several years back)

Show's I am looking forward to:
Wonder Woman (Please don't suck!)
Game of Thrones (based on a book series but I've never read it so hopefully it won't piss me off lol)
Treme (It's starting its second season but I have been meaning to watch the first season to get caught up)
And many on Starz that I can't watch because we don't get it. lol

So yeah..we are very much stay home and watch T.V. or play video games people. The movies is too expensive and we can usually find it online anyway! LOL

I think most people would rather stay at home and watch t.v. thanks to Netflix as well. Netflix has surprisingly a lot of t.v. shows so I don't even have to buy much anymore.

And I forgot about True Blood. Love it, though I've only gotten to watch seasons 1 and 2.

RuPaul's Drag Race - My intital thought after reading this title is... "I must check this out."

Metalocalypse - If you like this, give Home Movies a try which came out first if you haven't seen it yet. It's definitely not as "metal", but it's still just as amusing because of Brendon Small's great sense of humor. It's not on anymore though sadly.

You simply MUST watch RuPaul's Drag Race! It's FIERCE girlfriend!! lol

And I love Metalocalypse but not for the "metal" just 'cause its frickin' hilarious!

I've not seen I'd Do Anything, Sorceress, but I have seen the ones that preceded it. "Any Dream Will Do" and "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria".

Is Graham Norton still hosting? I love his show on BBC too.
