Gilmore Girls-I love the cultural allusions and witty banter. I have watched the entire series at least three times through thanks to reruns being perfectly timed between dinner and yoga class.

Big Bang Theory-I just have a soft spot in my heart for nerds who are incapable of social conquest.

30 Rock-Tina Fey.

These shows are on top of the standard Simpsons, Adult Swim, PBS, and The Office.

TV rules my evenings, it's sad. Good thing I don't have friends where I live, or I would be in some trouble.

Supernatural - Hot dudes fighting crazy supernatural things. It's win win.

Lost - So crazy and complex, I love that it doesn't always go how I assume it will. Plus it's pretty hot when Sayid kills people.

10 Items or Less - Probably only hilarious for me because I work at a grocery store, but whatever.

Other favorites: House, Reaper, Nip/Tuck, CSI, 90210, Kath and Kim. I could list lots more, but then you would know exactly how much of a life I lack.

God yes. When he broke that guy's neck with his feet I had to rewind the dvr.

Other favorites-
Heroes (yes, I know it's gotten bad, but I'm leering at Sylar)
Pushing Daisies (recently canceled)
Burn Notice (Bruce Fucking Campbell)
Dexter
Fringe
House

I'm sticking with Heroes as long as my husband insists that I keep watching Lost. I'm so sad that Pushing Daisies was cancelled. I'm thoroughly convinced that TV execs don't know what they're doing or the general public is not ready for surrealism.

I watch some of the soaps if they intrest me at the time, I don't do a lot of watching TVS. Sometimes I just catch stuff that's on but not intrested in myself. Sometimes watch Jeremy kyles show and feel glad to not be a part of the things they talk about, but it does get annoying hearing about the cycle some people have got locked in.
