I pretty much just watch cartoons or movies the only regular television I watch is the US and UK Being Human. The series revolves around a vampire, a werewolf, and a ghost who live in a house and are trying not to be monsters but humans and the issues that get brought up because of their choices(not drinking blood, what happens during the full moon etc).
The US version used the UK as a template but has since gone in a totally different direction for season 2 which is great as it’s not the same show with different actors. The US season 2 added a new character played by Dichen Lachman and I so love her.

No interest in any of those.
Pawn Stars, some reason love the show, but I’ve seen em all at this point.
Currently, Walking Dead, Family Guy, Grimm (losing interst a little), The River
that’s about it
do like some Modern Family too[/quote]
Losing interest in Grimm too tbh. Too formulaic for my liking. They’ve had plenty of time to start developing a plot beyond dealing with a different freak every week so going to give it one or two more episodes and if they haven’t raised the stakes a little I’ll be dropping it.
Currently watching Justified; enjoyable southern ‘layman’ series with Timothy Olyphant. Walkind Dead. Lost Girl (sucks but it keeps the Mrs sweet), Spartacus, Fringe, and Supernatural.
All of these, however, are just fillers till Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones returns.

Is the US series better than the UK version? I tried to get into the UK series but just didn’t like the actors - mainly the snivelling werewolf and ditsy ghost. =/
Justified is the shit! & the River. Only 2 I TIVO. Oh, & my Big redneck vacation. Hilarious show. Family from the swamps of La. are vacationing in the Hamptons. Shit is funny. They’ve demolished a 4mil. summer home.

It’s different the UK version doesn’t have as much money for fx and the US version has the money for the television cgi. George in the UK version actually sort of comes into his own as and Annie is hot so she can be ditsy if she wants. If you’ve never really watched the UK show then you will like the US version, some purists have a bug up their ass about there being a US version of Being Human.

I’ve seen the first series and the first couple of episodes of the second however could easily substitute the story for a more interesting, better budgeted, retelling.
I’m limited on TV watching time, but here’s what’s on my DVR
Top Chef Texas - Love this format and the creativity of the Chefs.
Iron Chef America - The best chefs in the Nation at the top of their game w/ crazy ingredients? I’m in!
Walking Dead - Definitely a fan, not nearly as invested w this as I could be.
Hell On Wheels - A serial western, decent escapism show, better half HATES it though.
Thirty Rock - Weird and getting weirder, goofy
Parks and Recreation - I really love this show, and Ron Swanson
The Office - Mostly because it’s an old standard
Up All Night - I love this show. Love it a lot. Will Arnette and Christina Applegate AND Mya Rudolf.
Top Gear
On Tap:
Eastbound and Down
Mad Men
If I had all the time in the world:
Breaking Bad - seen the first season, want to see every minute of it
Burn Notice - Miami looks great AND Bruce Campbell
Downton Abbey - Word of mouth
Game of Thrones - Word of mouth
Justified - I’ve watched the pilot of this show and really want to get into it.
I’ve heard nothing but great things regarding these shows and really want to get into them, but there really isn’t that much time in myh week for it.
