Has anyone here seen Inspector Rex? It's about a German Shepard (the dog species) that is a detective for the homicide. It's a series police drama with a dog as one of the main characters and it is one of the best television shows I have ever seen.

Behold the Linkage

I also enjoy the Simpsons/Futurama, the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corperation) News (screw that comercial crap), South Park, Good Game, Top gear, Dr Who, The mighty Boosh, The Sharpe series, The Hornblower series, Wire in the Blood, The Chasers War on Everything and Margaret and David at the movies as well as many others I forgot to mention.

I'm also enjoy a bit of Dr Phil, usually the episodes with out of control kids.

Hey ever seen Italy's answer to Rex? Turbo... its trying to knock it off but comes off as way too cheesey and too obsessed as portraying the lead as god's gift to women.

That Surfin' Bird thing on Family Guy the other night was funny at first, but it just started to get annoying after a while

I hope you're not talking about the dog. That would just be creepy.

I tend to be a year behind on all things TV-Related because while I own a really nice system, I don't have it plugged into peasantvision, let alone paid cable or satellite. I buy shows
on DVD if they interest me, but I haven't seen actually streamed TV in over 8 years now.

It's not being unable to afford it, fuck I'm spending more on the DVDs than a full sat package, I just can't be bothered to keep to TV's schedule. I go home, make dinner, and sit down with my food hoping to watch an episode of House. I don't want to start the episode part-way through, I don't want to find out, oh, its not on so I must choose something else, and I sure as fuck don't want to watch 18 minutes of commercials for every 1hour time slot. In the end I also guess that the price for cable/sat does factor into why I don't have it... There's at most five or six show on the air that I have interest in, only four of them current with the others in re-runs. Is $25+ a month really worth possibly getting four new episodes a week, and on their scheduling to boot? Especially when $40 buys me a month's worth of DVD-TV I can watch when I choose.

All that been said, I am dying for House Season 5 to finish and hit the shelves. House MD is my second most favorite show that's still in production, second only to Battlestar Galactia (reimagined), which is not only my top "on-air" show, but bumped Babylon 5 out for my most favorite show period.

Terminator TSCC just recently had me hooked, fuck the damn writers strike, only 8 episodes in the first season because of it, and now I'm over a year out before I'll get to pick up more. This show has everything I could want... Action, humor, a proper connection to the movies, not to mention the love of my life (I wish), Summer Glau. More than anything, I can't wait to see how Terminator 4 and The Sarah Connor Chronicles work into eachother.

Robot Chicken and South Park round out my current interests. Southpark has signed for a minimum of 15 seasons, so I get a steady stream of that show, and Comedy Central hosting them online (albeit in tiny-assed DS-Screen-O-Vision) means I actually get to stay current for that series. I'm not just sure that kick's ass, I'm HIV Positive.
God damnit stop saying that Cartman!

Robot Chicken on the other hand, there is just not enough of it to go around. Episodes are short, there aren't enough of them, and it takes forever to get on DVD, then only gives me about 3 days of meal-time watching. But I do love it, there really has never been a show like it before and I eagerly await Adult Swim getting it into their head how much RC rocks, and giving them full-hour episode time slots.
Monkeys in outer space, protecting the freedom of the human race, oh, monkeys in outer space, they're easier than humans to replace...
A human life is a terrible waste, that's why we shot monkeys into space.
We used all the monkeys that we can find, 50 dead monkeys, huge step for mankiiiiiiiind oooooh...

Family Guy

I could tolerate Family Guy when I was younger, but now I can't stand it. A women being viscerally beaten is not funny. Adding an out-of-place character does not change that.

THANK YOU! That and the fact that their jokes were dried up, and recycled twice by season two didn't help. And the fact that there's usually only 20% actually plot driven content.

Faimly guy just completely stopped being funny to me by the time Fox brought it back after being canceled. The earlier episodes in the series were actually clever and had a plot that it wasn't afraid to stick to. After the show got brought back, its just a bloody mess. I actually timed this on an episode once, and there was only seven minutes of actual plot in it. Everything else was meaningless jokes.'

I do recommend that you try watching Battlestar Galactica if you get the chance. Its one of those shows that you really need to see every episode of to keep track of whats going on, though. Besides that, try watching Pushing Dasies and It's Always Sunny In Philidelphia while your at it. You'll truly see how crummy Family Guy has become after watching half-an-hour of Sunny.

when do the new robot chicken episodes air, i feel as though i watch the same damn 3 episodes everytime it is on, and would love some new stuff.

Also, as a side note, start watching Dexter, season 3 just started, and that is pretty damn close to the best thing on TV at the moment.

Lucky sods, I've only just finished watching season 2 and S3 wont be out here for ages.

I'm really getting into the new heroes eps at the mo and enjoyin!

I know it was the point, but I just started muting the TV every time Peter said: "I thought everyone had heard"

Let me guess, you've been waiting for a chance to use that pun for at least 3 years?

I'm currently on the first seasons of Lost and Heroes, and Pushing Daisies looks interesting.

As for Pushing Daisies, what's the premise/what's it about/why should I care about it?

It's about a guy who can touch corpses and make them come alive to nly him temporarily, he investigates murders this way, it's fairly interesting and good choice on Lost and Heroes

Oh FUCK I want the final season of BSG. I've been re-watching Seasons 1-3 + the miniseries pilot and Razor while at work, and I'm coming up on the last could episodes, and GODS DAMN I WANT THE REST!

Between the writers strike, and the summer "nothing new but reality TV" season, and the knowledge I have 3+ months after the last episode airs before I see them on DVD, the wait is killing me.

BSG Reimagined is the best SciFi of this new millenium, and they had better finish it off right or there will be holy fucking hell to pay.
So Say We All!
