I thought it might be an idea to have a separate thread for this? (Just a thought) so here's a couple from me -

 

Big Bang Theory - New to Susors, but not me, however the new season is excellent and there were some episodes from Season 2 I hadnt seen!

Modern Family - Season 1 - pleasantly suprising as quite funny

And yes, the biggest loser Uk - its fat people that I get to shout at on the tellybox - whats not like!

Still watching Supernatural and that takes up most of our tv viewing time. I'm finally on season 3 ;)

We're watching the last season of Chuck and finished Sanctuary a while ago. Chuck I'm going to miss, Sanctuary feels like it's run it's course -- I'm just not as excited about it as I was in the beginning.

I keep meaning to check out Big Bang Theory as everyone I know keeps recommending it.

Mainly I'm sulking that there's only one more episode of Sherlock left to come. Am otherwise finding it all a bit meh so far.

I expected to hate it, I only started watching it to see how bad it was & was hooked within minutes.

Ooh, and Hustle is back, things are improving.

Bah!  & back to edit after discovering it's the last series :(  That's Hustle gone, Spooks gone, Sherlock only coming out in ridiculously short bursts, Zen not recommisioned because the director of the BBC can't cope with sexy men on telly - big gap for decent drama!

You'll just have to re-watch The Wire and the few episodes of The Office to get your Idris Elba fix. Oh, and Thor.

I've just finished season 7 of House. Just starting season 7 of Bones.

I tend to watch TV in boxset form, otherwise I seem to miss key episodes. Next to pick up with be season 2 of Justified. Oh, and probably The Walking Dead.

Last week, I saw a terrible, terrible show called Eternal Law. It's about angels who are also lawyers. It was awful. I only watched it because some of the original Life On Mars team were involved.

It was a mistake. An awful, awful mistake with awful acting and awful writing. So it will probably run for nine seasons and spawn multiple spin offs.

After the great Sky Box Disaster of 2011, I never did watch The Walking Dead. I will though. One day...

I saw the first couple of episodes of Justified and quite enjoyed it. I forget why I stopped watching - possibly another disaster victim.

I'm really looking forward to Season 6 of Dexter which hasn't aired yet over here. For some reason we run about 9 months behind the States on this one. Dexter's one of my all time favourite shows, although I thought Season 5 was a little weaker then previous seasons.

That is really depressing... because it's true :(

 

The first series of Walking Dead was good, waiting for the 2nd to finish here and then come out on Netflix so I can watch it.

 Angels and lawyers are mutually exclusive...If the two were combined in real life, the universe would implode onto itself...Maybe it will happen on December 21 this year...furious...Ben

You're mixing up your sexy BBC detectives!  Rufus Sewell was Zen, I don't think (crosses fingers tightly) they've dropped the axe on Luther?  Haven't actually seen The Wire, may have to go the boxset route.

Are they fallen angels who get to be lawyers?  This would make sense.

Sorry. Detective shows all blend into one for me these days.

Possibly the sexy detective thing isn't working quite so well for you? That qualifies you to run the BBC.

I'm fine with the secy detective. Particularly if it's a sexy lady detective*, but with the possible exception of Sherlock, they're all identical sexy detectives solving identical (and possibly sexy) crimes. They just have different faces - and in some cases, boobs.


*Although I challenge you to find a well-written sexy lady detective who isn't identical to all the other sexy detectives (apart from the face and boobs, obviously). I can't think of one.

On TV, their actual job doesn't seem to matter too much. They still run about investigating and harassing witnesses, breaking the chain of evidence, getting inadmissable confessions and generally doing stuff that would get them fired or jailed in a heartbeat.

Awesome though it may be, I'm not sure anyone could accuse The Avengers of being well written...

You're right of course, the writers made all the actors talk with funny accents...But they made up for it by writing Emma Peel into her leathers in almost every episode...drool...Ben

Ghosthunters International. I think it is quite silly that they think every ghost of a 17th century dead person can understand English, no matter what country they pillaged before meeting their demise. Just say'in.

So how good is Game Of Thrones? Bloody brilliant is how good.

I haven't read the books, but may dig them out on the strength of the series!
