What TV is worth watching?

I don't have a functioning TV. I feel out of the loop.

It's great .

 

It kinda grows on you. You kinda have to watch the arc of the episode. You are free to not watch it or not watch it.

Shameless is about to start, but it's on showtime. Honestly its worth subscribing for that show alone. I don't watch many shows but that is one I follow. I also liked weeds, dexter, californication. I've followed sons of anarchy for awhile, but that's about it.

Sometimes I flip channels, watch the news here and there for about 10 min, but most of the time if the tv's on I'm not even paying attention to it.

Football is good too

Edit - I also watch discovery and those kinds of channels. Kind of follow some of the custom car and bike shows.

 

Is that the one with Kim and Khloe Kardashian?

 

Shameless is great.

I really like Community. Its super nerdy

 

I'm not sure I could stand shameless from the description.

Drunk, dysfunctional dad neglects six kids. Sounds kind of horrifying.

 

its a hard one to describe.

i described it the other day as "oldest daughter forced to raise several younger brothers and sisters" and got a bunch of groans in return because it makes it sound very Lifetimeish.

Its actually a very funny show. The dysfunctional dad is a horrible fucking person but its done in a comical and relatable way. William H Macy plays the dad and he's one of my favorite actors, and Emmy Rossum is amazing as the oldest daughter.

 

Yeah, it doesn't sound like you would like it. That's the description though, the show is much more layered than that.

 

I loved Mad Men until season 4 when they got new writers. Could not fucking stand it after that, it became so "on the surface" and lacked character depth.

 

William H. Macy is pretty awesome. I haven't seen the show but I saw a good trailer for it. I found Weeds to be addictive some years back, you can get Heroes on netflix too. That was good several years ago.

I basically watch Animal Planet, PBS and Discovery, sometimes Travel and whatever channel the treehouse show comes on. Sometimes the Oprah network is surprisingly good, nothing like her network TV show used to be. I rarely watch anything, but on netflix and hulu you can get some of my favorite good scripted shows: Being Human, Continuum, Merlin and the first 3(?) seasons of Misfits were all good. That's all Sci-fi stuff.

As for comedies I like "How I Met Your Mother". I haven't watched it in ages but it used to be good at least. Also old school SNL is usually worth looking at.

 

I rarely turn my TV on. My husband watches TV in his living room all the time. Separate living rooms and TV's= A happy marriage. Just trust me on that.

We have a couple of shows that we watch together. We watch Modern Family, Impractical Jokers and New Girl. I can't really think of anything else I watch. If I'm watching TV I want to actually be entertained and laugh. I don't need to watch shows that bring me down.

 

I just saw that they have remade 'Ironside' ... It does not look subtle.

Edit...it's already been cancelled lol...

Huff Post is a bit slow...

 

Ironside the wheeled chair version perry mason? .. I hate that show. perry mason, hes ok, Ironside hellnoz.

 

the short answer is none of it. certainly not enough of it to be worth the price of buying one. even the cheapest one you can find.

anything with fx eye candy is ok. with the sound off. but that's pretty much it.

 

Yes! my boyfriend and I are buying a house together in the next couple of years and a separate living room and den are a must for me. He watches a lot more tv and movies than I do (I almost never watch movies, don't have the attention span for them) so he can put the tv in the den and make it his man cave and I'll make the living room my room of peace and serenity.

He likes to have the tv on for background noise even when he isn't really watching it. It drives me crazy.

 

I don't have a TV but BBC i-player (BBC 4) online is great for history,science,music and arts.I watch news online but that is really beginning to depress me.It's just in my dead time that I watch that but I got to work harder to cut that shit out.

 

That sounds just like us. My husband has his man cave that is covered in sports memorabilia. I have my pretty and peaceful living room. One of my friends just stopped by and she even made the comment "I think its hilarious how you guys just hang out in separate rooms. He's watching TV and you don't even have yours on". We are within speaking distance. I can walk about 12 feet and see him. It's not like we live separate lives. We actually do spend a lot of time together. We just like our separate time too.

He has to have background noise. I don't. One thing that annoys the shit out of me is if he leaves to go somewhere and I'm still home he'll leave his TV on and I can hear it. I always go in and shut it off. He doesn't leave his TV on if we are both leaving. Only when he leaves alone and I'm still here. Damn boys. I don't have much to complain about when it comes to my marriage. If that is one of the biggest things that annoys me I guess I'm pretty lucky.

 

especially if you're outside that window. don't want to get blindsided by a flying tv.

thank you! i'm pretty sure we're the only ones out there.

 

yeh thats wut i meant lol
