Name that Show
January 9, 2007 by Kath Skerry
My previous Jericho post got me thinking…what other shows are you all watching that I don’t know about? I guess it’s something we don’t talk about often and probably because I’ve never asked. So as we move forward in this new year I would really LOVE to know which shows are your favorites.
If you have a free minute, share with me (and your fellow GMMRers) what shows you are currently watching. And PLEASE make sure to include those that I don’t currently cover here at GiveMeMyRemote.com.

Hey! I don’t think you have ever mentioned watching Dexter, so I am highly recommending it! Michael C Hall is perfect as Dexter and each episode will leave you wanting more. All of the shows you love, I love, so hopefully you will at least check out the pilot!
Shows I watch that are not currently on GMMR:
1. “Knights of Prosperity” (I know it’s only aired once so far, but I know I’m going to love all of them).
2. “CSI: NY”
3. “Scrubs”
4. “Entourage”
5. “Wonder Pets” (on Nick Jr. – surprisingly entertaining for a preschool show, although I don’t expect that it should get coverage on GMMR anytime soon ;-))
I watch a lot of the shows that are covered on here, most obviously Gilmore Girls, The Office and Grey’s Anatomy. But some more shows I never miss.
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart – AMAZING!
Survivor – Something about it still sucks me in.
But one show that I think everyone should be watching is Bones. I tried to resist it at first but the chemistry between the lead characters is just electric, and I mean its David Boreanaz so thats not hard to do. The episode story lines arch well with the continuing story of the heroine trying to find out what happened to her parents.
So you know GMMR….if you ever want it recapped 😉
Scrubs
Law & Order SVU
Crossing Jordan
The Medium
Besides “The Office”, I also watch Ugly Betty, The O.C. (Thursday’s gets kind of crazy at my house), Friday Night Lights, Lost, Brothers & Sisters and Desperate Housewives. I also watch “Big Love”, but it is on hiatus right now until late spring/early summer.

I get pretty good coverage here on your site. I watch The Office, Scrubs,30 Rock and ER. That is pretty much all. I guess I never noticed until I typed that, that I only really watch TV on Thursday nights. Unless there is a Suns game on. I also really love Ellen Degeneres. That’s about all I regularly watch. You are doing an amazing job though. Thank you for that!
Man vs. Wild on the Discovery Channel. So cool. That guy is so crazy I love it.
two shows i think everyone here would like that haven’t been mentioned is:
1.Dexter
2. Weeds.
Brilliant shows. I love them. Both on showtime.
I also love the Loop and cant wait for it to come back. Also the usual scrubs, office, earl, prison break, 24, etc.
shows i make time to watch every week that they’re on: 24, heroes, how i met your mother, gilmore girls, america’s next top model, project runway, top chef, the office, grey’s anatomy, 30 rock, er, dexter, the l word.
i think that’s it…love your site, keep up the good work!
Love the site by the way…you do a GREAT JOB!
As for other shows I watch religiously:
24
Heroes
Lost
CSI: (the one set in Vegas)
My Name is Earl
Americal Idol
and of course, The Office
Shows that I clear the schedule for: Prison Break, Heroes, Lost, The Office, Scrubs, ER, and Smallville (taped – I don’t own a DVR)
Good Stuff but can’t always squeeze in: Studio 60, Bones, House, L&O: SVU, CSI: NY, Beauty and the Geek, My Name is Earl, 30 Rock
Shows i would watch if i had cable (and more time): Top Chef, Dexter, Extras, Battlestar Galactica
I think you’ve covered just about everything. I never hear anything about the Law & Orders and the CSIs, but I’m starting to watch those shows.
Also The Class, Two and a Half Men, Corner Gas (It only shows in Canada, for now anyway), NBC on Thursday up to ER, Shark instead of ER, Las Vegas, ‘Til Death, 24 when that starts again, Friday Night Lights, The Simpsons, Cold Case, In Case of Emergency…
I really can’t think of anything else that you haven’t covered
The Office
Lost
Entourage

These are my fav four. I use to watch alot more, but i cut back cause of school. It seems that great minds (aka office fans) think like! 🙂
I watch “the Office”, of course, but also the following:
Scrubs

Then a few other things here and there, depending on how I feel and how much time I have
Well, I DVR everything because of the three year old and the three month old boys, but here’s my list (pretty sure all of them have been mentioned, though).
House
Veronica Mars
Friday Night Lights
Bones

My Name is Earl
Grey’s Anatomy
The OC
The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Gotta love thoughs guys! Also My Name Is Earl.
A handful of the shows I watch on a regular basis are…
1. All 3 CSI’s (CSI, CSI Miami, CSI NY)
2. Criminal Minds
3. Numb3rs
4. The Office
5. 30 Rock
6. My Name Is Earl
7. Grey’s Anatomy
8. NCIS
9. Prison Break
10. Ghost Whisperer
Studio 60, Knights of Prosperity, Family Guy, Boston Legal, Brothers and Sisters (how much fun would I have recapping that show!), 24 (one more week! Yeee!), so many more! I watch waayy too much television 🙂
On shows that aren’t regularly covered on GMMR, I really like Everybody Hates Chris, though I haven’t been able to keep up with it too well this season since it’s now on at the same time as Prison Break and HIMYM.
I also have liked Smallville in the past and am looking forward to the next two new eps (especially the Justice League ep.). But like with Everybody Hates Chris, Smallville is on at the same time as Earl/Office and Ugly Betty.
And now that GMMR has found Friday Night Lights, I hope she’ll be covering it more often on the site. It’s become my new obsession! 🙂
And also Smallville! Almost forgot about that:)
I mean, I watch all the shows that you cover as well–VM, Greys, Heroes, Lost, The Office.
Oh – I forgot to add that Brothers and Sisters has also become a favorite.
Besides “The Office,” I also watch the following on a somewhat regular basis: Grey’s Anatomy, Ugly Betty, 30 Rock, Desperate Housewives, Brothers & Sisters, How I Met Your Mother, The Class, Two and a Half Men, The New Adventures of Old Christine, What About Brian, and Gilmore Girls. The cable shows I watch when they’re in season are: Sopranos, Entourage, and Weeds. Hope this helps! 🙂

I had to go get my TV guide to make sure I didn’t forget anything!
Hi hon! I know I’ve told you this before, but you have to try Weeds. It’s hilarious and twisted, just like you. 🙂 And it’s only 1/2 an hour so it doesn’t take up too much time. I’ve also gotten into Brothers and Sisters and The L Word, both fantastic!
Oh, yeah…I totally forgot about Extras…don’t ask me how. Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant are geniuses.
Jess, you want me to try Weed? Come one now…don’t you think I am a bit old for peer pressure.
Believe it or not, I don’t have Showtime…but I think I’m going to bite the bullet and just get it already. I just got the first 6-8 eps of this season’s The L Word on DVD, so I will definitely check it out.

3. Heroes
4. 24
5. Studio 60
6. Probably watch Idol also
Oh yeah, I forgot So You Think You Can Dance which I really miss. I think I am going to try to watch American Idol this season. And I think I might have gotton some of the days mixed up in my post above. I love my DVRs. If I didn’t have them, I would miss most of my shows because I’m not good at remembering what day and time they are on.
Shows I love to watch besdies The Office:
Law & Order: SVU
America’s Next Top Model
The Amazing Race
American Idol
ER
I watch religiously:
How I Met Your Mother
The Class
Heroes
Gilmore Girls
House
Veronica Mars
The Office
PBS Saturday night British shows (yes, I’m an Anglophile and proud of it ;-))
I also catch Ugly Betty every chance I get but since it’s against The Office it doesn’t get the time it deserves.
I used to be addicted to L&O: SVU, CSI, and CSI: Miami but my sleepy time is 10pm nowadays and I just can’t make myself stay awake. Oh, if only for dvr…
Also…I’m REALLY glad to see that The Class is getting some comment “air-time” here. You should SOOO be watching The Class, especially if you like How I Met Your Mother. It’s amazing.
Besides The Office, I regularly watch:
Desperate Housewives
The Apprentice
Heroes
Studio 60
Gilmore Girls
Lost
The OC
ER
Dog Whisperer (National Geographic Channel)
SNL
Thanks for running such a great website…keep up the good work!
Office, Scrubs, 30 Rock, The O.C., Ugly Betty (whew – Thursdays are action-packed).
Also: Gilmore Girls, Weeds, Big Love, Dexter, Lost, Daily Show, Colbert Report.
And, I haven’t watched it from the beginning, and I’m a little confused with the timeline of events for the episodes I’ve seen, but I’m loving My Boys on TBS. Great cast – very watchable.
Oh – I forgot “Psych,” too. I love that show. I am ridiculously excited that it’s almost time for it to come back :-).
Scrubs!!!!!
Las Vegas
Studio 60
30 Rock
Entourage
Big Love
My Boys
The Apprentice
Good question, GMMR – thanks for asking for this feedback! Shows I don’t miss: 24, Lost, The Office, and Heroes. I think the only one you don’t cover is 24.
I really liked How I Met Your Mother last season, but I just haven’t been making time for it this year. My TV time is very limited, so while there are LOTS of great shows on, I don’t even try most of them, since I know I don’t have time for more “can’t miss” shows.
Like LaLa, I also watch Masterpiece Theatre on occasion – love those adaptations of British novels!
Reading over the comments, I can’t help wondering WHO was bugging BJ Novak to watch The Wire – because no one here (yet) has even claimed they watch it! Curiouser and curiouser…
Addicted to House M.D. & Grey’s Anatomy!!!!
One show that I haven’t had the opportunity to watch, but have seen it advertised quite a bit (and the Season 1 DVD just came out today, which I’m going to try to rent this weekend) is “Extras” on HBO. It stars Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant (creators of “The Office”). It looks really good.
Instead of listing everything I watch, because you pretty much watch everything I watch, I just want to plug Supernatural. Only one other comment has mentioned this show so far but it’s fantastic! It’s like an hour-long horror/thriller with two hot brothers driving a kick ass car all to a classic rock soundtrack. And if you want to catch up on the first season you’ll get several episodes with Jeffrey Dean Morgan…never a bad thing.
My Faves are:
Sunday: Family Guy
Gray’s Anatomy – just started watching Season 1 on Lifetime
Monday: Heros
Studio 60
Tuesday: House
Wednesday: Lost
Thursday: My Name is Earl
THE OFFICE!! of course
Scrubs
Friday: Monk
CSI and Law & Orders are my filler shows – love them all!
Extras – very funny – looking forward to the start of season 2!!
I think thats it…no wonder my DVR is FULL!!
sad. I think I’m the first to mention:
Battlestar Galactica!!
HIMYM, Prison Break, Heroes, GG, VM, My Boys, One Tree Hill (guilty pleasure), Beauty & the Geek, Ugly Betty, Grey’s, The Office!!!!
When I run out of time before bed, I catch 30 Rock, The Unit, NCIS and The Class online during the day.
I’m also slowly catching up on Buffy. I know, I know. but thankfully 5 days a week and I’m at the end of Season 4 right now. For background noise I watch Mythbusters, anything on History or E! channels.
The Office
Ugly Betty
Gilmore Girls
Scrubs
Heros
In addition to “The Office” I watch “Weeds” “Nip/Tuck” “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and “Veronica Mars”.
I used to love “The Amazing Race” but I’ve gotten bored with it.
My must see TV:
24, GG, VM, L&O: SVU, LOST, Grey’s, Men in Trees, Ugly Betty, Heroes, and last but definitely not least…The Office.
Online or in reruns:
HIMYM, Studio 60, The Unit, Scrubs
Reality:
Amazing Race, Project Runway, Top Chef
Is there a 12-step program for this TV addiction? 😉
Besides The Office and Grey’s, I also watch:
The Colbert Report
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart
Campus Ladies
30 Rock
CSI: NY (guilty pleasure)
Weeds (which recently finished its second season)
and back when I had HBO, I would watch the Ricky Gervais show, Extras. I think the second season begins this Sunday.
My favorite TV shows are (in order):
The Office (American version)
Heroes
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart
The Colbert Report
The Simpsons
Peep Show (UK)
I’m Alan Partridge (UK)
The Office always is first but
Ugly Betty
Lost
The O.C
How I met Your Mother
The Class
Gilmore Girls

Beauty and the Geek
Saturday Night Live
=]
If you want just NEW shows…as in new this season I don’t miss:
Friday Night Lights
Men In Trees
Ugly Betty
Jericho
Heroes (of course…who isn’t watching!)
and I highly suggest putting time aside come spring to invest in The Black Donnellys!
It’s sad but I have a set of shows I watch and there tends ot be little room for new ones, so I rarely watch anything else.
Besides The Office
These are the shows I literally watch every weekday:
MadTV
King of The Hill
Malcolm in the Middle
That 70’s Show
Simpsons Seinfeld
The Daily Show
The Colbert Report
Spongebob
Whose Line is it Anyway
And shows I like but don’t watch at any set time
Just Shoot Me
Fresh Prince of Bel Air
Futurama
Mythbusters
Invader Zim
How It’s Made
Becker
Monk
And more I forget.
To Marie: If you like the Masterpiece Theater adaptations of British novels, then you MUST watch the new mini-series version of Jane Eyre that will be airing in two weeks. As I said, I was able to see it early, and let me tell you, it was fantastic! Ruth Wilson was luminous and brilliant as Jane, and Toby Stephens is the best, most scorching Rochester ever. Seriously, you guys have got to see this brilliant and passionate adaptation of the one of the best books ever – you won’t be sorry!
I am thankful for DVR everyday because I don’t know how else I could work a full time job, raise 2 girls, and watch this much TV.
Family Guy
Intervention
Iron Chef America
You’re the one that I want…
Sell This House
Paula’s Home Cooking
7th Heaven (guilty pleasure)
The View (and not just to see who is winning the Rosie/Trump war)
Days of our Lives (guilty pleasure)
!!! THE CLASS !!! (By far one of the funniest shows on TV)
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
Supernanny
Nip/Tuck
Law & Order SVU
Medium
Amazing Race
Survivor
Grey’s Anatomy
My Name is Earl
Scrubs
30 Rock
ER
Smallville
Ace of Cakes
Any Food Network Challenge
Ghost Whisperer
Saturday Night Live
Jeopardy
Chronicle (does that make me old???)
and although it is getting tired, I can’t resist American Idol
Seriously though, anyone who has not seen THE CLASS I whole heartedly suggest it.
I noticed a lot of Showtime shows mentioned, but nobody brought up Sleeper Cell. If you are going to get Showtime, I highly recommend it. It’s like 24 plus more; a suspensful, thrilling, action-packed roller coaster.
I don’t have a DVR or TiVo so I can’t commit to too many shows. I never miss The Office of course (the only show during which I do not answer the phone, door or any question from my husband or child).
I also watch:
Heroes
House (when I catch it)
Studio 60
My Boys (new guilty pleasure show)
24 – But not during the regular season. My husband can’t deal with waiting to see what happens from week to week, so we wait months for the DVD’s to come out and then we have a 24 marathon. We just finished Season 5, I don’t think I’m going to be able to resist the premier on Sunday though, so I’ll probably watch without him.
1.THE OFFICE
2.Grey’s Anatomy
3.My Boys
4.Friday Night Lights
5.The Soup
6.My Name Is Earl
6.Saturday Night Live
7.How I Met Your Mother

24
Lost
The Office
Entourage
Miami Ink
Grey’s Anatomy
Boston Legal (wow I see I’m kinda alone on that one. I love it)
The Unit
I watch a number of the shows already covered but also watch Crossing Jordan, Scrubs, Rome, CSI, CSI NY but NOT CSI Miami, and a few BBC shows like Doctor Who, Torchwood, Foyle’s War, Midsomer Murders et cetera.
Brothers & Sisters, How I Met Your Mother, Heroes, Studio 60, House, Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars, Ugly Betty, My Name is Earl, The Office, The O.C., Grey’s Anatomy, Scrubs, 30 Rock, Big Love, Entourage, Dexter, and My Boys. Now excuse me while I go kiss my DVR.
More like what do I not watch? But anyway, here’s what I do:
BSG, The Office, Veronica Mars, Extras, Scrubs, 30 Rock, The Wire, OTH, The OC, Meerkat Manor, Wildfire (hehe), Jericho, Lost, Dancing with the Stars, American Idol, The Amazing Race, Survivor, I Love New York, Ugly Betty, Grey’s Anatomy, How I Met Your Mother, Prison Break, Friday Night Lights, The Sopranos, Boston Legal, Nip/Tuck, Rock Star, Gilmore Girls, Big Love, Knights of Prosperity…and others I’m probably forgetting LOL
I forgot my summer OBSESSION of Denis Leary and Co. on Rescue Me….
I watch a lot of what you cover, including Grey’s Anatomy, Gilmore Girls, Veronica Mars, Scrubs, Entourage, Friday Night Lights and the Office. But one of my all time favorite shows that you don’t cover, and I really really think you should give a try is Supernatural. Its a great show on the CW with awesome writing and great acting and chemistry between the two main actors, Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles (not to mention, they’re two of the hottest men on TV 🙂 ). Coming from a fellow VM and GG fan, let me say there are not enough well written shows on the CW, in my honest opinion, but Supernatural is right up in the ranks of Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars.
Mondays: How I Met Your Mother, Everybody Hates Chris, Heroes, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
Tuesdays: Veronica Mars
Wedensday: Beauty and the Geek, Friday Night Lights, Let’s Rob Mick Jagger, Lost
Thursday: Survivor, Smallville, My Name Is Earl, The Office, Supernatural
Others: Rescue Me, Real World/Road Rules Challenge, The Surreal Life, Flavor of Love, The (White) Rapper Show, I’m with Rolling Stone, South Park, Pardon the Interuption, Jim Rome Is Burning
Premium Show I’m Catching (Will Catch) on DVD: Rome, Big Love, Dexter
Let’s go by day of the week:
Sunday: Apprentice, The Amazing Race and The Simpsons
Monday: Studio 60
Tuesday: nothing really good is on that I watch until American Idol starts
Wednesday: LOST, Jericho, The Nine (I know it’s probably canceled but I love it)
Thursday: Survivor, Grey’s Anatomy, ER, My Name is Earl, The Office, and 30 Rock
And during the summer: Big Brother
I really like TV. Y’all are doing a great job with The Office, but I would like for you to add something maybe on LOST and Jericho. Those are my two other favorites.
SUPERNATURAL….best show ever!!
one tree hill
gilmore girls
law and order SVU
House
I forgot to mention Mythbusters and Dirty Jobs. Also great shows.
^hey i watch SUpernatural 2. its really good.
house
the office
lost
entourage
Some shows that hit my “regular” list are:
House, Gilmore Girls, Medium, ER (this season for some reason), My Name is Earl, The Office (my favourite!), and Grey’s Anatomy.
Some others that I watch but am not devastated if I miss a show: CSI’s (in the order of the original, NY, and least favourite Miami), Cold Case, Brothers and Sisters, among a few others.
I do love my TV! 🙂
I watch Rome, The Wire, Weeds, The Shield, and Supernatural. Occasionally I’ll watch Veronica Mars. That’s all. The cable dramas are superb, and Supernatural is the most underrated program on network at the moment. It’s criminal that’s it’s stuck in a timeslot against the sickeningly overrated Grey’s Anatomy. Jensen Ackles could act rings around McDreamy and Meredith the breathy one. People assume it’s a show about spooks and pretty boys. It isn’t. It’s about a family who happens to have had tragedy touch them via demons. The Winchesters are the best brother pair on television, Heroes and Prison Break included.
The Wire is the most superb program on television, period. Its ensemble cast also puts Grey’s Anatomy to shame. This is how real cops and real criminals act. Dominic West is quite the underrated actor. How is GA getting nominated while the Wire is not? It renders award shows moot. Weeds is the single funniest comedy on television, while Rome is debauched fun at its best with yet another fine ensemble of actors. Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo, though not brothers, share a fraternal like friendship that rivals the Winchesters on Supernatural.
my fav medical shows:
-scrubs
-grey’s anatomy
-house
oh and also can’t get enough of
-lost
-heroes
-phyc
-studio 60
-law and order: svu
-entourage
-the wire
-desperate housewives
-cold case
i am ashamed to admit i only watch the auditions on american idol, but there’s one show where i know this won’t happen to me.
-grease: you’re the one that i want
those people really have talent and i love the fact that its a real broadway show. it may be just a guilty pleasure, but i’m sticking around to watch it anyway. =]
House–Hugh Laurie can’t get enough praise
The Wire–No one gets into trouble like Jimmy McNulty
Supernatural–Ackles and Padalekci, best brothers on television
Weeds–Mary Louise Parker is the funniest woman EVER
The Shield–Vic Vic Vic….you are so corrupt and Mr. Chiklis blows me away in his performance.
24–Jack Jack, you’re our man. If you can’t save us, no one can
I cannot say enough good things about Supernatural. It is the only reason I watch TV any more! Its up against the hardest competition, and still pulls though with a fair number of viewers. The actors Jared Padilecki, and Jensen Ackles, are two of the most talented actors on TV. Jeffery Dean Morgan, who I believe many know from Grays, played as their father till his death a few episodes back. This show brings you real myths and folk lore, and not some monster of the week that they pull outa their ass. This is my first, and only pick, for the best TV show around. Watch it!
My favorite tv show is Supernatural. It is one of the best shows on tv. It is the only show I never miss. The actors Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles are two of the most talented actors on TV. This show is more than 2 hot guys fighting monsters each week. The relationship between the 2 brothers is an integral part of the show. Everybody who hasn’t seen it should check it out!!!
Supernatural – I highly recommend this show. I have never enjoyed a series as much as I have enjoyed this one.
3rd Rock From the Sun – This has got to be the funniest show I have ever seen.
Dead Like Me – It’s a very clever and enjoyable series. I watch it whenever I can.
Heroes
Gilmore Girls
The X-Files
What a great thread!
Mon:
Corner Gas (Canadian)
How I Met Your Mother
The Class – I kinda liked but didn’t love the pilot, then the next few eps didn’t really do it for me. I gave it one last chance and the ep that week was fantastic, and it’s been that way ever since.
The Adventures of New Christine – love love love Julia Louis Dreyfus!
Studio 60
Tues:
Gilmore Girls
House
Wed:
Lost
The Nine – wishful thinking lol
Thurs:
The Office of course
Grey’s Anatomy
Earl, Scrubs and 30 Rock I watch and enjoy, but I wouldn’t rearrange my schedule for them
Fri:
Hey, I have a life outside of tv sometimes!
Sat:
Ditto
Sunday:
Amazing Race
Brothers and Sisters – I am loving this show – it shot right up to my top 5 list
Other:
The Hour – it pays to be Canadian when you can top each day off with an hour of yummy and fascinating George Stromboulopoulis.
Big Brother
Daily Show
Letterman
Conan
I’ve recently given up on What About Brian and Desperate Housewives. I just didn’t have time for them anymore.
The Shield blows away all the competition. Will corrupt Vic’s past finally catch up to him and destroy him? Dutch and CC are a hoot. I just wish Glenn Close were still on the show.
Supernatural is underrated and a half. I can’t believe I *care* about the pain that these two characters are experiencing so much. Dean blaming himself for his father’s death broke my heart. Ackles just brought it like you wouldn’t believe.
Gilmore Girls hasn’t been the same since Lorelai slept with that milquetoast Christopher. Thanks for ruining the show on your way out the door, Amy. Jerk.
Battlestar Galactica is another former great that’s lost its way. What is Ronald D. Moore thinking giving us this insufferable soap opera with Starbuck and Apollo? If I wanted Meredith and McDreamy in space, I’d shoot my sister’s copy of Grey’s Anatomy out of a cannon.
Sunday: 7th Heaven
Monday: Hero’s
Tuesday: Gilmore Girls
Veronica Mars
Wednesday: America’s Next Top Model
Thursday: SUPERNATURAL!!!!! i just really need to plug this show. I like greys anatomy just fine, but come on, it’s the same story line over and over again. who is meredith having sex with this week and what is the new patient that will make you cry because of there tragic story? really you think that i care? no i really don’t. Supernatural is the story about 2 brothers (Ackles) and (Padalecki) no to mention that they are amazing actors but there not bad to look at either. and it’s a new story line every week with that same underlying family drama that everyone who watches it comes to love. there are, hell hounds, evil clowns, zombie’s, demon’s, ghost’s, etc. and that’s just from season 2! really you should check it out, break away from the curse of gray’s anatomy and watch a really kick ass show.1:)
Friday:
Psych
Monk
Ok!!!… lets see…
Monday: 24, Heroes, Studio 60
Tuesday: American Idol (even though it angers me half the time)
Wednesday: One Tree Hill, Jericho
Thursday: Smallville, SUPERNATURAL! (WOOT!), The O.C. and ER
Friday: Las Vegas
BTW i think Grey’s Anatomy is the Antichrist of Television. I watched it when Denny was on. Loved that storyline.. but got a few episodes into this season and realized i was losing brain cells watching that show..
No offense… LOL
I pretty much watch the NBC Thursday night lineup, How I Met Your Mother, Studio 60, Heroes, Friday Night Lights, Craig Ferguson, and thats about it. I’m also looking forward to a new season of American Idol–woot!

Just chiming in to say….please cover Supernatural!! I really think you would enjoy this show. It is so much more than a show about demons and monsters. It is a show about family, and loyalty, and pain, and faith, and love. The performances are moving, the brother relationship is the best sibling relationship on TV, the demons are scary, and, well, the boys are HOT. That definitely helps.
Rent Season One on DVD and then go download Season Two from iTunes. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
I’ve seen Supernatural, and I’m not saying it’s not a good show, but it wasn’t my cup of tea. A little too scary for me. And I may be wrong, but isn’t it on Thursday night? Too much TV scheduled already. But who is to say I won’t find someone else to cover the show more in 2007
Supernatural—-one of the best shows on tv! Excellent plot and keeps you in suspense week after week!
Other shows I watch:
NCIS
Prison Break
GMMR, before you give up on Supernatural as being too scary for your tastes, might I get you to humor me and look at these two short (slightly spoilery) clips from its second season? The posters aren’t lying when they tell you it’s far more than a spooky scooby doo with pretty young boys. It’s a family who happens to have had tragedy inflicted on it by the supernatural. Its cast is as legit as any on television, most definitely including the melodrama of Grey’s where surgical residents can cut LVAD wires, circumvent transplant lists, and suffer no professional consequences as a result of their actions. Give me the supernatural any day. These clips are indicative of what these two young actors are capable of.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not calling into question the quality of “Supernatural”. I’ve heard nothing but great things. I saw the first few eps back in S1 and I didn’t find it to my liking, but again it’s not that I didn’t think it was good, but it’s just not a show that at this point in time I can find room for in my schedule. If I had more time, I would definitely watch more TV and cover it on GMMR. But I do appreciate the clips. I may look into trying to find someone to cover Supernatural more on the site.
Thank you, GMMR. It’s just that the focus of Supernatural has really been altered between season one and season two. It was far more episodic and “monster of the week” during season one, but it’s developed a depth this season that I, not of the magic 18-34 demo, didn’t expect. Watching season one didn’t prepare me for season two because of the differences and the sincere character development. Talk about your pleasant surprises. Anyway, thank you for your attention.
I want to echo burgundy’s sentiments about how much Supernatural has changed in season two. It’s a much more mature show. Now that we’ve covered that, Rome deserves just as much love. Ray Stevenson and Kevin McKidd steal that series out from under everyone, but Max Pirkis is no slouch.
Well, since I don’t do mainstream and am picky, I watch Supernatural. The show has superb acting, something you don’t see too much of on tv, great writing, it’s dark, edgy, has humor, heck it has it all. One of the best shows on tv and I’m so glad that it’s on, otherwise my tv would probably never be turned on. 😀
supernatural is the only show I want to hear about and discuss, It has the most realistic sibling relationship on tv and makes me really care about these characters. It is also the most underated show which is a shame,the acting is wonderful and the storylines are awsome! I think being on the CW, people assume it’s a teenage fantasy show that has no depth, that is absolutley not so!
The Office
Heroes
30 Rock
Top Chef
Big Brother “__” (when in season)
The Simpsons, mostly in syndication now
The Family Guy, same as Simpsons
Cold Case
The Soup, I can’t believe only a handful of those so far.
E! Enterntainment News, (because like a car wreck you just can’t not look!!!)
Late Night with David Letterman
I would have to go with my fav shows
Supernatural
House
24
smallville (not so much but i watch it sometimes)
Most obviously– The Office. 😛
I also really like Lost, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Heroes, Grey’s Anatomy, Big Love, Dexter, Huff, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Real Time with Bill Maher…
1. ****THE OFFICE*** MY FAVORITE
2. I LOVE LUCY!!!
3. LOST
4.SCRUBS
Recently I’ve fallen madly in love with DOCTOR WHO! It’s just a completely fun show and every now and again I would catch the last few minutes before Battlestar Galactica would come on and I just got hooked! David Tennant is right up there with John Krasinski on my Crush List!
Other than that you cover everything else I like! EVERYTHING! 🙂
I just discovered Studio 60 yesterday and it’s absolutely amazing. I think you would love it. The acting is amazing, the writing is great, and it’s both funny and semi-dramatic. Your word for that is dramady. Anyway, they deal with a lot of issues that are really important and controversial and I think you should start to watch it, even if you don’t cover it on the site.
