I must confess to being a bit of a movie buff and I love to read..........I dislike most TV as a general rule, especially so the rigged talent quests and reality crapola like big brother that they pedal.

If I do watch TV it tends to be something that is a true distraction. I tend to watch stuff I can download, no adverts etc.
current faves are in no particular order :

The Walking dead - new season just started
Strike Back - finished
Falling Skies - finished
Grimm - awaiting next season

So, What are you lot watching when you are trapped in domestic servitude and cannot shed the entrapments of modern life and go bush?

Interesting you mentioned strikeback. Good show but I thought season 1 was the pinnacle. Still enjoyed others though.

Try "Justified" Timothy Olyphant plays a US Marshall. You'll love it GandG.

[Redback]

In no particular order.

QI, Would I Lie to You, Spicks & Specs, Rockwiz, Grand Designs, The Project, Person of Interest.

As a kid.

The Magic Boomarang, Monty Python, Skippy, Dr Who, My Names McGooley, Spyforce, Whiplash.

Does it mean that I'm getting old that I mostly watch ABC shows instead of commercial tv these days?

No it just means your taste is improving

Could be lol. It does surprise me though what is allowable on ABC compared to commercial.

I'll have to vote for West Wing but sometimes I wonder why

X 2 - Alan Sorkin's scripts are machine gun perfection, IMHO. I hear his The News Room is as good - can't but it online in Oz and refuse to pirate it.

Game of Thrones  X  n  The production values put many movies to shame

The Good Wife X 2 - classy & clever plot line, complex & deeply flawed characters

United States of Tara - started good seppo cable comedy - Toni Collette's best role

Porn stars

Yeah, I watch a lot of that, surprised any one admits it publicly. Ah, sorry, did U say "Porn Stars"? Didn't notice the word stars on the end.  .

I like shows like "gasoline", "how do they do that",  "junkyard wars" pretty we'll any that you see how to do/build stuff. Tried that WC Choppers thinking I was going to learn stuff. All I learned was they were all wankers being wankers.
Do enjoy Big BangTheory too of course.
Oh and "come dine with me" for some reason???

I'm getting into 'The Blacklist' at the moment but I fear they have exhausted the good plot lines...

[Murph]

Landline 

[nbd73]

Post 2000 Dr Who, sport is obviously not on the option list so not much else. Simpsons is on the slide (has been since season 10 IMHO) , Big Bang Theory (purely because it's on nearly every time the TV is turned on) and unfortunately more than a few kids' series eg Peppa Pig etc etc

I've been recording that to watch but haven't made an effort yet because it looks like James Spader acts the same as he did in Boston Legal, which I really enjoyed when it was first out but if he is the same smug, acid tongue character, then it would be too much of the same. What do you think???

[DaveR]

Shaun the Sheep.
Bob the Builder
Umm, the one in the mornings about the African Animals..... It has soothing music

[Jeepers Creepers]

two and half men for me.

[lindamc]

Currently for me:-

The Walking Dead

Game of Thrones

True Blood

I don't watch anything regularly, but my partner has been hooked on these three.
I do know all of big bang theory from season 1 thru to season 5 because my 15 yld makes me watch it with her as one on one time of an evening.

I used to wonder why anybody downloaded TV series.. I mean who has the time to sit through that much TV?
The my son got me onto The Walking Dead (I do love Zombies!) and I figured out the advantages...

1. download an entire season, or a few seasons of chosen show.
2. When dinner is over, dishes done and kids in bed, site down and watch an episode or two. Ad free and you aren't tied to any certain time.
3. Repeat until you run out of episodes.

With the amount of ads on free to air (and even subscription) TV these days, even when you can find something decent to watch, the ads just ruin it. Watching an actual movie on TV these days is terrible.

After we ran out of Walking Dead episodes we started on Game of Thrones, then Breaking Bad.. both HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Now Walking Dead is back and we only get the new episodes each week after they air in USA. I have to say the interest is waning. Season 4 so far is pretty dull.
