I love watching Blackadder and Red Dwarf. They're the funniest shows ever. roflmao

I enjoy watching Father Ted as well. lol

My favourite TV programme at the moment is "Felicity". But I watch a lot of things. I used to watch some of those British humour shows before, but they're usually not on Swedish TV. I used to watch them on BBC, but I'm too lazy now to go downstairs and chase my dad away from the TV to be able to watch BBC or whatever other foreign channels they might be on. I can only watch Swedish channels on my own TV in my room.
I love watching documentaries though! Really interesting! And I have watched a lot of docu-soaps.. although I'm getting bored with those right now.

Well I'm a Sci-fi and Fantasy buff so I spend a lot of time on the Sci-Fi channel.

I'd have to say that Farscape is my absolute favorite show! I couldn't image anything cooler that exploring space in a Leviathan (a living ship) along with some really cool aliens! It's actually created by the Jim Henson company(from muppet fame) and is visually amazing!

I've also gotten into So Graham Norton lately. lol That guy is HYSTERICAL!

Fave of all time? M.A.S.H., Northern Exposure, Boston Public

:cool:

August 19th,2002, 06:19 PM
OMG i cant believe i forgot Farscape.....:elfeek:
yeah its a fabulous program....not in the least Hollywood...a nice antidote, tho im disappointed Zahns gone...bummer...
and on a more adult and definitely weirder note, Lexx, especially the first three seasons, is fun, even if Mark McManus looks a twit with that hair!!!:o lol lol
oh and i tend to watch docos with the Croc Hunter (Steve Irwin)in them, on the theory that one day a snake or croc'll get lucky:naughty: ;) lol

Absolutely Fabulous is a fav of mine.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer; for those of you that haven't seen it it is not the fluffy teen show that it sounds like. I like Angel also and Whose Line is it Anyway. Drew Carey show is funny also and I like it because it takes place in Cleveland and that is where I am from.

I don't watch much tv except for Thuresday nights on NBC here in the USA..I love Friends, Will & Grace, and Scrubs. I used to be a big X-Files fan until they killed the show.

Nessa

I don't watch much TV, I've narrowed it down to three favorate shows due to lack of time. :rolleyes:

Favorate Talk Show: The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Comedy Central. Brilliant. :grin:

Favorate Drama: The Dead Zone. Don't ask.

Favorate Comedy: Scrubs. Absolutely the most hilarious show on TV.

I don't watch much for mainstream network television. About the only think I catch regularly are Who's Line and Enterprise. I used to be a X-phile but gave up on it because they treated the big plots so hap-hazardly.

As far as REAL televison, Stargate SG-1 rules. Definately some of the best Si-Fi out there. Just about anything on the History Chanel is fair game, especially the military stuff. Junkyard Wars, has to be my overall favorite. Nothing like making a functional cannon out of scrap. Norm Abrams takes a close second to that.

As far as humor, no one has yet to touch Monty Python, though Red Dwarf is good and Red Green is better.

I personally think that SMTV sucks now that Ant,Dec andCat have all left. ( I like Ant)
I love The Simpsons, Friends,Will and Grace lol lol lol lol lol and Buffy of course.

Does anyone like Big Brother? (when it was on?)

Daughter of Finarfin
August 29th,2002, 04:08 AM
Yay! There are two other Buffy fans around I feel happy. You guys have good taste! Buffy and LOTR are my two obsessions.

Pil
August 29th,2002, 03:27 PM
No more buffy!!!!!! :nono:

Buffy's v good, Daughter of Finarfir which is your favourite charecter? (part from Buffy) :)

Arwen Elf
August 30th,2002, 02:41 AM
I used to like Buffy until it got stupid and she died.:angry: Anyhow, I love the X-Files dearly. Mmm. . . Duchuvny(not spelled correctly). But Law and Order. . . . . Forgive me for not being familiar with all of these other programs, I don't even have cable. :( The Osbournes, though. . . if I can see it, is the only good thing on MTV. . . .:grin:

Catz
August 30th,2002, 02:56 AM
Mmmmm i used to be a Buffy fan.....but its starting to look a bit tired now...i think that maybe they should have quit while they were ahead....before they ended up like the X files:naughty: ;) lol
Couple of oldies......loved all the "Prime Suspect" TV series with Helen Mirrin and "Cracker" with Robbie Coltrane
anyone who likes Red Dwarf....have you seen the Smeg Outs?
very funny lol lol
Oh and Southpark....totally tasteless:thumbs: lol
:catz:

Nessa
August 30th,2002, 03:12 AM
Southpark has kind of lost its touch, I enjoyed the old episodes. But if you like Comedy Central and don't mind outrageous television, there is a variety to choose from. Insomniac can be entertaining, as well as Travel Sick, although I can't watch the really disgusting parts. lol

Daughter of Finarfin
August 30th,2002, 05:28 AM
I love the Osbournes! There, now this post isn't totally Buffy related so you can't yell at me.

Buffy hasn't been that great lately, but this season is supposed to be the last and from what I hear it is going to be great. My favorite character is Spike. I think James Marsters would have made a terrific elf!

Catz
August 30th,2002, 05:44 AM
James Marsters would make a great anything ...the mans delectable...yummmmmm....;) lol
:catz:

Daughter of Finarfin
August 30th,2002, 05:47 AM
I think Orly and him look very much alike. Put a long blond wig on James... mmm

Catz
August 30th,2002, 05:49 AM
he looks pretty damn hot with his natural hair colour too :thumbs: :naughty: lol
:catz:

Daughter of Finarfin
August 30th,2002, 05:57 AM
Yews he does!! I think he is much better looking than David Boreanaz. He never really did anything for me... but Wesley mmm.

Little Devil
August 30th,2002, 04:11 PM
Buffy's seem to have gone all dead now, when it started it was great. James Marsten in a long blond wig!!!!!!!! that'll look soooo funny. lol lol lol (what IS his natural color?)

Catz
August 30th,2002, 04:17 PM
brown.....and he looks rather tasty ;) lol

Fawlty Towers ("Que?")
Monty Python ("This parrot is dead")
Red Dwarf ("They've taken Mr Rimmer sir ", "Quick, let's get out of here before they bring him back!")
Simpsons ("Ahhh, excellent")

My top tv sci-fi shows:
Farscape (Can't believe it's been axed)
Stargate SG-1 (Still working my way through them)
Buffy (Last series is great. Musical episode from season 6 was fantastic)

My top classic cartoons (from my youth):
The Mysterious Cities of Gold ("Children of the sun....")
Thundercats ("Thundercats are on the move...")
Dungeons and Dragons (Axed before the final episode :(

Those might bring back some fond memories for people :)
