my favorite TV shows

The TV rcording boxes (Tivo, Sky Plus etc.) have changed the way I watch TV, as I can now just watch my favorite programs when I feel like it and not worry about missing anything, unless my wife has set something new up that causes a “clash”…

I’ve actually found I end up watching less TV, as I’ve always got a backlog of my favorite shows, I’ve become a lot fussier about what I spend time watching, so what do I take the time to sit down and relax with….?

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip - This is pretty damn good, it’s not just funny, but topical and quite clever, with an ongoing plot that’s actually got a little depth to it.

Boston Legal - This has been a fav of mine since I caught the first series, and it’s  managed to make it through to season four without loosing to much of it’s “freshness” and humor. It’s probably the best acting I’ve ever seen William Shatner do and James Spader has always been a favorite of mine. The collection of other “oddball” and classic stereo type characters and storylines add to the humor, as well as delivering a message. Well worth watching.

Heros - I’ve only recently got in to this series since it’s come to terestrial TV, as I missed the first season on satelite, and I find myself eagerly awaiting the next step in the plot. It’s good that it’s more about the story than the “powers”, as it could easily have gone the way of many “sci-fi” series and turned in to just a “cult” show.

Top Gear - as a bit of a “petrol head” this has always been a favorite, and Clarkson, “hamster” & Captain slow continue to deliver a program about cars that is so much more. Their weekly races and “tasks” are just hilarious!

Las Vegas - this is another show that I missed the first couple of series and am now playing catch up with, but it’s move Vegas several places up my list of “places to visit”. No, that doesn’t mean I’m expecting Vegas to be like the show, but I am looking forward to soaking up the atmosphere of a real Casino one day.

Two & a Half Men - This show makes me laugh evertime I watch it. The interplay between the characters is simply wicked.

It seems comedy shows are still my favorite, but then laughter is good for you right…
