A very enjoyable move was The Big Year with Steve Martin, Jack Black, and that blond hair Owen something guy in a bird siting competition.

I really enjoyed it.

Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: The characters, situations, and how they relate always have me cracking up. The “Vote for Philip Banks” clip is a favorite! The entire Bank family is great to watch. On top of that, the episodes always end off with a great family moral, which I highly appreciate.

Animaniacs/Pinky and the Brain: Spielberg is always so innovative and these are no exceptions. You take the basis of Looney Toons, and with newer animation, enhance the colors, quirks, etc. Animaniacs did have a couple of innuendos, but they were never IN YOUR FACE - they usually kept if very kid-friendly.

Ed, Edd, n’ Eddy: Another childhood show of mine. What I like is that it’s just about the everyday life of rambunctious kids and teenagers, and what they do in their freetime. It’s merely human nature and the aspect of growing and maturing. Even though it is the lifestyle of your average kid, though, they still have consequences for Ed’s greedy antics. As a child, I used to hate seeing the Eds bullied, but now, I appreciate that twist of having the main characters punished for their sins and actions.

King of the Hill: What’s enjoyable is that the characters are very dry and casual. The characters and their relations aren’t overexaggerated like, say, Bart and Homer. The Hills and neighbors act like your typical family and neighborhood - not only is that where the humor comes from, but they can evoke decent messages, as well.

Jimmy Fallon: I hear he has sort of a love-hate situation. Personally, I think he is a great host. He’s funny, his personality is optimistic and friendly, and his skits aren’t half-bad, as well. Just to mention - even though I find Jay Leno EXTREMELY unfunny and bland, I occassionally watch him.

America’s Got Talent: I’m not afraid to admit, I find the show rather entertaining. Just the variety and strangeness of some of the auditions make it interesting. What makes me sorta hypocritical, though, is that I don’t care for alike shows, such as American Idol or Dancing with the Stars.

Restaurant Impossible: I just enjoy the premise of the series. You have Robert Irvine, whose task it is to basically redesign a failing, low-quality restaurant. Not only do I find the end-results satisfying, but his hard work and determination is something that I admire. Harsh, sometimes, but that’s what he needs to pull his clients through.

Courage the Cowardly Dog: Eh, I just have fond memories of it. 😃

This is only what’s on top of my mind, at the moment.

I think on the whole TV is terrible!!! I do check EWTN every night – also usually watch “Law and Order” and “Criminal Minds”, and if it’s a story I don’t particularly like I turn it off. Have you watched “Undercover Boss” – it usually has an interesting story.
Did any of you watch the “Bible” on the History channel??? The man who played Jesus should get some kind of an award – he was excellent and I watched more TV that night than I’ve watched in years.
Frankly I’d just as soon go to bed and read a good book rather than some of this “junk” on TV.

Hi Barb,

I don’t get ETWN–wish I did. I used to watch it at my parents’ house when I lived there.

I have watched Undercover Boss and liked that show a lot.

I did watch The Bible some. I know it had some inaccuracies, but I thought it was well done and very widely watched. Hopefully some who watched it will start reading the Bible for themselves.

I watched part of the NFL Draft last night.

We watch NCIS reruns so often, that we have the scripts memorized.

Also are working at guessing which actors had the day off on any particular day. How many camera setups they used for each scene.

Guessing at why some actors had a recent weight loss / or gain.

And which Whole Foods they visit on Saturdays for casting … their friends and neighbors drop in and whoever needs a paycheck gets a gig.

And who had surgery or whose arthritis is kicking in.

[It wasn’t NCIS, but on one program, it suddenly started raining and you could see how they spliced it together … rain, no rain, rain, no rain … almost like a comedy. Felt bad for the crew.]

We use to be HUGE NCIS fans. This season though, just can’t get into it for some reason.

Yeah, I wish they would get past that Mossad/rogue agent thing.

But, like I said, a couple of actors needed a paycheck, especially after it appears that a couple of other shows went off the air.

We liked that guy who filled in as Director for a couple of weeks. I guess Rocky Carroll needed a couple of weeks off or something.

What are the favorite TV shows that you are currently watching? I watch the Voice and Australia (which is on PBS), and I watch baseball (go Twins).

Dancing with the Stars and Doctor Who.

Right now I am watching the Dr. Who episode from two weeks ago.

This morning/afternoon I watched the debut episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation on Hulu. Actually holds up pretty well after 25 years. Hulu appears to have at least the first season remastered for High Definition.
 
After he retired, one of my friends became an actor.

Free meals from the catering truck.

Get paid extra if you wear your own clothes instead of needing wardrobe.

Get paid extra if you drive a car in a scene. [It’s “stunt” driving. Even at 5 mph.]
 
Probably the only current show I watch with any regularity is Big Bang Theory.

I watched some of that new show on SciFi, but a) missed the beginning so not sure of the characters, b) it didn’t hold my interest. Will probably try again, but we only have one TV in the house, and my wife usually runs it, and I don’t think its a show she will like (she happened to be out at the time.)

I do enjoy, when I can catch it, NCIS (which is often in reruns on USA, so I do see those), Criminal Minds (which is sometimes too depressing to watch, though), Warehouse 13. and yes, yes i do like Phineas and Ferb (surprised I haven’t seen that one on someone’s list).

And Doctor Who (which I don’t actually get on TV, but download after it’s shown and watch on my computer a week or two later).

People are also throwing in old shows, so I will mention that I recently bought the Columbo first and second season DVD sets. I think i will always consider 1972 as my favorite TV year.

Oh, just one more thing…I also have the Banacek complete set. Another
