Ghee Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I rarely watch TV, but have built up a few favorites over the years. From growing up (but still enjoy): Are You Being Served More recent: Big Bang Theory Torchwood Dr Who Grimm Once Upon a Time Monk My kids like Merlin, but I'm kind of meh about it. I watched the first episode of Downton Abbey and couldn't make it to the end. I keep telling myself I'll try again. Is it supposed to be funny?

AMJ Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 What do you watch on TV? If you're in the middle of a series on Netflix/other streaming, please post that too. With break coming up, I am excited to spend some time relaxing in front of the tube, and I need some ideas! :) I like Castle -- mystery writer works with homicide detective. It's hilarious, but not for kids. I'm a mystery junkie. We all like Once, and Japanese animation (pre-viewed and culled very carefully by DH before the kids see them, as many that sound innocuous are NOT kid-appropriate). Phineas and Ferb is a great all-around pleaser. Barbie movies go over big here, and I appreciate that they actually have real plots (most of them). Pixar movies are always winners. Musicals! My Fair Lady, The Music Man, Pirates of Penzance.... For some truly great, imaginative movies look for the works of Hiyao Miazaki and Studio Gibli. Some truly wonderful stuff, but do check them out for age groups before sitting the kids down with them. Some of his stuff (like Princess Mononoki) is meant for older kids. Some, though, like Poyno and My Neighbor Totoro, and wonderful for even young kids. Things my kids watch with us even though they are a little young: Grimm Big Bang Theory Go On Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Blog (has a grim ending, though) Eureka Warehouse 13 Nova How Beer Saved the World Top Gear Mythbusters sundry history shows I know this sounds like a lot of TV watching, but this lists stuff we watched over YEARS. Netflix is a horribly handy addictive substance, so be careful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Parks and Recreation and Once Upon a Time. Has to be both!Have to admit, too, that I am watching a lot of slightly older BBC (etc.) shows like Victorian Farm and The Victorian Kitchen and Wartime Farm via YouTube and another documentary channel I don't remember the name of (it is bookmarked on another computer so I can't look it up easily).

Hoot Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 These aren't always on all the time and I wouldn't call any of them favorite, but they're ones that I've enjoyed recently: Bones CSI White Collar Grimm Two & a Half Men (It's awful without Charlie Sheen but, like a train wreck, I just can't stop watching) Mike & Molly Elementary Guys With Kids Revolution (Not really a fan, but I'll watch it when I've got nothing better.) Dexter (If I had to pick a favorite, this would be it.) Pit Bulls & Parolees (I :wub: this show) Raising Hope (Hilarious!) True Blood Anger Management (Grrrr. When is this coming back? It's great!) Animal Intervention Dog Whisperer/Leader of the Pack with Cesar Milan Amish: Out of Order Tanked Walking Dead The Big Bang Theory Sister Wives Cake Boss Mountain Men (A family favorite!) Vampire Diaries Arrow Beauty & The Beast Emily Owens, MD Mob Doctor Recent ones I've enjoyed that have been cancelled: The Finder Breakout Kings CSI: Miami Gosh, that makes it sound like I do nothing but watch tv all day. In reality, I often go days at a time without turning it on, and some shows I've only seen a couple of episodes but still enjoyed it.

extendedforecast Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I watch BigBang Theory, Raising Hope, Greys Anatomy, The Office, The Middle, and Modern Family.

dirty ethel rackham Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 We just discovered Sherlock on Netflix (actually College Boy tuned us in as it is a cult-favorite at school.) It is incredible. There are only 6 episodes right now, but they are 90 minutes long and absolutely fantastic. On a side note, Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock) and Martin Freeman are both in the Hobbit. I knew about Martin Freeman as Bilbo, but laughed out loud when I saw that B.C. was credited in the movie as well (voice work.) I think there are supposed to be more coming in 2014 - a long wait, but worth it. Other than that, I love NCIS and Big Bang Theory. Another one I enjoy watching is Wallander starring Kenneth Branagh on PBS. It is a bit of a downer, but well acted and interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraciebytheBay Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Oh, this is fantastic! I will definitely be checking out many of these. I am tempted to make a tally sheet to see which show was mentioned most and start there. I just LOVE Christmas break! If I watch half the TV and read 1/100 of the books I plan to, I will not do anything else. Sounds good to me. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
