Addictive television shows.

I have a current favorite television show I'm really hooked on. But, sadly for me, it's Canadian.

It's "Train 48". My Canadian boyfriend has been taping it for me. I love that show. The show takes place entirely on a train...I didn't know if that concept could work, but it does. The characters on the show are interesting. And the cast members do a lot of improvisation on the show.

I know "Train 48" is a soap. But boy is it a terrific show. I only wish a cable channel like Bravo could import it down here.

It's on about 20 times per week, and I've been recording them all. I've seen every episode at least twice now.

Jeez, I need a life! :freak:

British sitcom.

of queer eye for the straight guy. a "closet" watcher if you will..hahaa.

On HBO is my only TV addiction.

But I'm watching it in Canada on Showcase, and we've just finished Season 1, so no spoilers, OK? Wonderful, amazing show.

on BBC America. I love this show. They take ordinary people with little lives and pass them off as members of the nobility, great chefs, equestrians, etc, It makes for great television. It really questions what is fake about society.

I'd be interested in seeing. LOL!

has aired a few times after Trading Spaces. Interestingly, it's stuff like a Yale bookworm being turned into an Atlanta Falcons cheerleader! Compare and contrast with the Brit version at your peril.

My latest addiction. It's on Spike TV - one of the funniest shows ever.

it's on twice every weeknight here, and I rarely miss it though I've seen just about every ep 5 times.

Start a seperate thread about favorite Simpsons eps! Mine, hands down, is "Bart Sells His Soul." For the phrase "Spagetti and MoeBalls" alone. "Run, Boy! Run for your life!"

I think my favorite is the one where Bart creates "Angry Dad" on the Internet. Very funny episode.

Yeah...a Best of Simpsons deserves its own thread.

Great show name as well for the Simpson's ep.

along with Capital Gang. I wouldn't miss either unless a natural disaster occurred.

Some of its so fake though! I mean to each his own, but.......lol, you cant DNA results in an hour!

A great Canadian show. Met him once. And remember - if the women can't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy. I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to, I guess. Keep your stick on the ice!

in all it's incarnations (is that the right term?)

original
svu
criminal intent... weaning off

I love those guys!

Dark Shadows.

On The Food Network. He makes it enjoyable.

Gives me my weekly laughter. Would not want to be without it. I know it's a soap, but I also like Young And The Restless. Best soap, IMO, and as people have seen, I have crushes from it..

Also am starting to watch Joan Of Arcadia. I forgot to put Amber Tamblyn on my last crush list, along with Lake Bell and Michelle Branch. I'll wait until the topic comes up again to make a new list, as I think people now have an idea of who I like. I think Amber is likely to be a Democrat because she's a big Ani DiFranco fan. At first I thought Joan Of Arcadia might appeal more to females based on the ratings, but Amber's a good actress, too, and I enjoy the show.

A guilty pleasure is Big Brother.

Been a fan for 24 years... and I'm still 31!

Man, do I need to get a life... :D

That show is ... WOW!

Anything on PBS is worth my time watching.

Also, on network TV....Simpsons, Family Guy and Futurama. Everything else is Trash TV

okay I admit it.....
I can't get enough of it.... it's so explotive and weird....

Episode In 3 Seasons. I Have NEVER Been So Addicted To A Show As I
Have Been With 24. :-)

All the original episodes are on DVD and no so-called Sci-fi (including the awful revival) compares

And I am really po'd that Rupert got booted. The Amazing Race comes in second.

Unfortunatley, they stopped showing it on PBS here. Fortunatley, I have them all taped.

Almost all of them. I'll be sitting there and one will come on and I'm like "Oh, these are so stupid," yet I will sit there for another hour or half hour, however long it takes and watch the damn thing. Then I wonder what will happen next week after its over. Scary!

...and almost anything on Adult swim on Cartoon network. Some of the funniest writing out there can be found on cartoons (Simpsons being the standard.)

I started watching "Joan of Arcadia" too, It's pretty good.

"WWE Monday Night Raw" and "WWE Smackdown!" HELL YEAH! :toast: :beer:

I just can't stop watching them, I love seeing people make fools of themselves. :crazy: :shrug: :evilgrin:

Criminal Intent or SVU. I unwittingly got sucked into a four hour marathon the other weekend.

I love that show.

My Hero ...

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's health-food store owner George Sunday (Ardal O'Hanlon, Father Ted) - better known as the world's most famous superhero, Thermoman. Not being very familiar with Earth's customs, Thermoman is often embarassingly honest and tends to take everything too literally. When he falls in love with nurse Janet Dawkins (Emily Joyce), his behavior appears most peculiar to her family and co-workers.

Thermoman met Janet when he rescued her from the Grand Canyon, but since his mission to save the world from destruction often comes in the way of his earthly romance. Day-to-day, the couple has to overcome the conflicts that arise from Thermoman's double life. Did Janet really have to put his suit in the wash on the day when an abandoned space station was on course to destroy a small town? Should George stay for lunch with Janet's parents or fly off to stop an erupting volcano? Will George's life be worth living if he flies off?

Even Thermoman can't be in two places at once, and his continually diappearing in and out of the bathroom in Janet's tiny suburban apartment or at the surgery where she works is not easy to explain.

BBC America Wednesdays at 9 pm/et, 6 and 9 pm/pt
