0 wesley 15 Report post Posted December 22, 2005 Soprano's Tony is my favorite character. He knows how to run his guys and he dont put up with any B.S. Can't wait for new season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Don Phelps 85 Report post Posted December 22, 2005 Although it was as much cult as it was pop, I liked 'Northern Exposure.' It reminded me of my home town, part Mayberry, part Twin Peaks. 'Chris in the morning' was probably my favorite character. :lgkick: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 bulletproof 14 Report post Posted December 22, 2005 NYPD Blue closest show to real life policing I've ever watched. Andy Sipowitz(sp) now that's a real stand up guy. He's what every policeman should be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Jarrod 22 Report post Posted December 22, 2005 Mine is 24. My favorite character is Jack Bauer. I like him because he gets it done no matter what. Protocol is out the window. I'd like to be him just for one day, just not "that day." - Fans of the show will know what I'm talking about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 squirtgun 122 Report post Posted December 22, 2005 Dirty Jobs on Discovery channel is one of my current favorites.I would love to send that guy into a dumpster corral with a clogged drain and 2" thick in French fry grease.I like the fact the guy is willing to show all the snobs in the world what kind of effort really goes into the jobs they would never consider doing. The Soprano's also tops the list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 CCPC 26 Report post Posted December 22, 2005 Currently I've been partial to The Apprentice (Donald's not Martha's). Not only do I find it very entertaining, but I've also learned some interesting business strategies as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 StainlessDeal 16 Report post Posted December 22, 2005 Most Extreme Challenge: Far and away the craziest, most cleverly written thing on the tube these days. Kinda like Mystery Science Theatre 3000, but with Japanese citizen's injuring themselves. It's an acquired taste, and might be funnier just to listen to without the picture. I'll have to try sometime. Don't try to watch it unless you can listen hard, the best lines are quick and come unexpectedly. Vic Romano and Kenny Blankenship are my favorite characters, but Captain Tenille gets some great attitude going.:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Jeff Robison 14 Report post Posted December 22, 2005 "My Name is Earl" This show is hilarious. I guess with my Southern roots I am partial to it. The eye candy is nice as well Jamie Presley. This show is written well and the plot is original. Happy Holidays to All. Jeff Robison Titan Exterior Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 John Orr 206 Report post Posted December 22, 2005 NYPD Blue. I remember when Sipowicz was Buntz on Hill Street Blues. Don't Get Eliminated! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 racechaser 64 Report post Posted December 26, 2005 24 ROCKS!!! Jack Bauer is the man!! I own all 5 seasons on DVD. This is real life in my opinion and not what congress thinks happens to terrorists. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 JFife 14 Report post Posted December 26, 2005 Great Question! For comedy, I'll agree with Ryan with "south Park". Truly, it has probably the most accurate social commentaries of any show on the tube. For drama, I'll third for "24". I cannot see how a human could actually watch this show week-to-week.....I'd go nuts. I wait for it to come out on DVD and then I choke it all down in about 2-3 days. I sure did miss Elisha Cuthbert this year--just not her role in the show:) A close 2nd place would be "Alias". Another nail-biter. I don't find Jennifer Garner the least bit attractive though, which is a negative. Favorite character is definitely Cartman, followed by the guy (Edwards) on "24" whose sole job is to torture information out of people. Seriously, he just stands outside the interrogation room with his briefcase full of torture instruments and waits to answer the call of duty. What a cool career.

0 PressurePros 248 Report post Posted December 26, 2005 I have gotten hooked on the show Pinks on the speed channel. Also any kind of restoration show from This Old House to Monster Garage. Most of the shows listed here I have never seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most of the shows listed here I have never seen. I also like home/auto shows, but unless it comes to DVD, I just don't get around to watching it. I'd love to get a TIVO, but I'd watch so much TV I'd have trouble discerning reality from fiction. Scott, ...ah my friend, with those tools you'd be better suited for the Sopranos or the like. This guy is faaar more surgical--everything is sensory-related. But it would be cool to see him appear with a mace or something.:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 seymore 90 Report post Posted December 26, 2005 I have gotten hooked on the show Pinks on the speed channel. Yeah Ken I'm hooked on Pinks also...I set my Tivo to record them every week so i can fast forward thru the commercials.Everytime they start racing they go to a commercial! Monster Garage and American Chopper also looks great in Hi Def...:cool: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Jarrod 22 Report post Posted December 26, 2005 Sounds like 24 is a big hit so far. It's funny how my wife, who is a quiet, soft spoken person gets all rialed up when 24 is on. And when each episode ends she gets off the couch and does the "I don't wanna wait a whole week to see what happens next! dance." I like prison break also. Another good one is The Shield.

0 racechaser 64 Report post Posted December 28, 2005 I like "lost" too.We have season one on DVD.I love the plot and concept but it is not near the nail biting and being upset waiting for next weeks episode to come out. The worst words you can hear at the end of an episode of 24 is when they show previews of the next show and it starts off like "coming in three weeks an all new 24".Talk about wanting to kick something and cry. I've been an alias fan from the first show. I'm pretty bummed it's ending. I haven't watched but one episode this year.All network programming was pre-empted for Katrina coverage 24/7 so I decided I'd wait for DVD. OCC is pretty cool too. I love the Teutul family. Finally a more disfunctional family than mine. I've watched stargate from day one and have seen every episode ...I think.That's classic TV if you watched it from the beginning. Unless something is escaping me Everybody loves Raymond was the last of the GREAT sitcoms. I can't think of any others that are must see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
