Default So, what have you been watching recently?

I've been watching the Stargates, BSG, Scrubs, Futurama reruns and a weekly repeat viewing of Firefly, and I'm so desperate to get the Serenity DVD it isn't even funny.

Anyone else like Scrubs? It's got to be one of my top 5 shows of all time, it's fuckin' highlarious and has a lot of heart.

I love "Scrubs". I have the first two seasons on DVD, and the third comes in (I believe) May. It's easily one of the funniest shows I've ever seen. And it does have a lot of heart, which is a fantastic quality for it to have that sets it above and beyond nearly every other comedy out there.

I've been watching "Stargate". I've now seen the first 8 seasons of SG-1 and the first season of "Atlantis". I've tried getting SG-1 S9 and SGA S2, but for some reason it's not cooperating, so I'm just going to wait for the DVDs.

I haven't been watching "Battlestar Galactica", but I've got them on tape so I'll have a big marathon once I get around to it.

I also watch "Supernatural", "Veronica Mars" (which fucking rules so much even Joss Whedon had a cameo this season), "Bones" and "Lost".

I've also recently reacquainted myself with the American version of "The Office" (Steve Carell is one of the funniest men alive) and "My Name is Earl".

And lastly, I got a couple seasons of "The X-Files" on DVD and I've been loving revisiting that one.

Veronica Mars? Haven't heard of that one.

Lost is one of those shows that just airs on the wrong channel for me to know that it exists until it's too late, kinda like the original UK airing of Firefly, which garnered so little interest from the mainstream satelite channels that the Sci-Fi channel got it's first run.

I didn't bother watching "Bones" because detective shows don't interest me, and "Tru Calling" scared me away from new shows with Angel alumni. My sister, who I've discovered has a secret obsession for CSI and Law and Order type shows is enjoying it though.

"Veronica Mars" is often referred to by critics as "the new Buffy". Basically, imagine "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" if she were a private detective instead of a demon fighter.

Default Re: So, what have you been watching recently?

The shows that I watch with regularity are:

Scrubs (it is a very funny show, I like the entire cast. They work very well together)
Out of practice (sometimes, I don't know if it's still on tv though)
whichever Law & Order is on tv that night
24 (not as into it as I was last year, but the videogame based on 24 is gonna be great, probably)
Medium (easily one of the more innovative and best written new television offering this year.)
Without a trace (interesting, and it helps me get to sleep)
Days of our lives/Passions (I'm home during the day three days out of five workdays, and yes, I put the soap operas on while I'm surfing the net)

Aside from that, I prefer interactive entertainment, which can mean anything from porn to videogames to posting on the net.

I received the complete set of DS9 DVD's for Christmas, so I've been watching those for the past month. I finished "Waltz" last night.

I watched the first episode of "Invasion", but it just didn't grab me.
