Additional Comments:

Just wondering what TV shows everyone is watching ....yesterday I happened to catch the last half hour of Oprah and the woman who was attacked by her friends monkey/chimpanzee was on - did anyone see it?

She took her hat off that is attached to a veil and I felt soooo sorry for her.  She has no eyes.  They created lips for her to put a straw into her mouth so she could drink stuff.  She has no fingers.  It was the saddest thing I've ever seen in a long time.  Did anyone see it?
I was wondering if she is still friends with her friend who owned the chimpanzee.  Does anyone know?

I've also been watching some of Dr. Phil's shows.  Does anyone watch his shows?  Are they helpful?

I realized last night that I don't watch comedy shows anylonger.  Not sure why.  I like the one with Charlie Sheen, but only catch the reruns on another channel.

Do you like the old shows like All in the Family?  Mash? Golden Girls?

i'm surprised i had to scroll that far down to find another "Dexter" fan.

i also can't believe how immensely entertaining it is to watch a serial killer go through his day!

i really can't say enough about the show.  it is so incredibly well written.  there is a connection will practically all the characters.  and it is just pure genius that some writer found a way to have the audience pull for the star, who is the serial killer!  simply amazing.

and the fact that the show is in it's third season, and the stories are still so fresh and intriguing is astonishing in and of itself.  the stories are just excellent.

I wish I had more time to catch up on my DVR these days, but the shows I never forget to tape and watch later are: Glee, How I Met Your Mother, Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, and some of the sitcoms from the early 90's, like Roseanne and Home Improvement. I also love Deal or No Deal. However, I don't have a lot of free time these days, so my DVR is very full!

Oh yeah, one thing I NEVER miss is football! And of course, American Idol when it is that time of year. Oh, and holiday movies every once in awhile. Wow...I really need to get out more! LOL

Short list for me, since I have to record nighttime shows then make time to watch them.  I watch Emergency M-F afternoons on the Retro network; and evening programs taped are Gossip Girl, Glee, Medium and Doctor Who.  Sometimes on Sat or Sun afternoon, I will take a peek at Wagon Train or Alias Smith and Jones.

Donna, I haven't been around much lately, but I just wanted to say I'm so sorry for everything you and your mom have been going through lately! I hope you're both feeling better very soon!

If anyone knows about hospitals, it's me. (Erin has been admitted 10 times in the last 7 years) The whole experience is just awful, and I'm so glad you're out of there, and home where you can finally get some rest, and let your body heal itself.

By the way, to answer your topic question, the only show I watch is "The Office".

  • Duh! I forgot to mention I didn't see the Oprah interview, but I saw pictures of the woman, and I couldn't stop thinking about her all day yesterday. I can't even begin to imagine what her life must be like. It's so heartbreaking. Also, I do like to watch All in the Family, whenever I get the chance. I was also a big fan of Taxi, but I never see it on anymore. Other shows I liked in the past were M*A*S*H, Northern Exposure, Frasier, Seinfeld, Friends, and Will and Grace. I hate reality t.v.!..........nina

    Donna!!!!!!   I just read all of your posts and had no idea you had been through so much these past few months.  I am glad you are better now and I will pray that your liver is okay and will regenerate.  My father was on Coumadin for years (which is actually a very low dose of rat poison) and suffered a brain bleed a few years ago when he had a very minor bump on his head. 

    As for television, I love Glee, Modern Family, Survivor, TAR, my soap EastEnders, The Office, 30 Rock, Top Model, Top Chef, Dancing with the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance.  I am looking forward to Peter Krause's new series and Big Love on HBO.  I also was enjoying Eastwick, but they cancelled it. 

    I hope things will be better for you Donna and that you will be well.  You have been through so many tough times in your life, it just doesn't seem fair at all.

    I watch HGTV or food network during the day. When TV is on that is.
    West Wing reruns on Bravo are about the only old shows I watch. I DVR them and watch when I feel like it.
    Good Wife, the forgotten, NCIS-both of them, Masterpiece Theatre, Housewives although it is about to be dumped--too stupid, so sad Mad Men is done for the year, looking forward to several coming in Jan like Leverage and return of Burn Notice and Psych.

    We watch way too much TV and that is just a short list of what we watch.

    Our whole family loves the Middle that is on Wednesday nights. The sad thing is that we can relate to some of their problems.

    The only daytime TV that I watch (well, I DVR, since I have to work) is Y&R. I can't stand daytime talk shows like Oprah and all of those others. Nothing personal against the hosts and other personalities, but it's just not my thing. Neither are primetime or late night talk shows (unless Peter Krause is a guest star, LOL!).

    Primetime:

    Mondays: Two and a Half Men, Big Bang Theory

    Tuesdays: The Good Wife (I love Josh Charles!)

    Wednesdays: Criminal Minds, Ghost Hunters (and coming this Jan to NBC - Parenthood, starring...wait for it...Peter Krause :-)

    Fridays: Ghost Whisperer

    Sundays: Dexter, True Blood

    Sometimes, I'll watch The Simpsons too. Dirty Jobs and Mythbusters are fun too.

    I'll also watch reruns of sitcoms like Friends, Cheers, Fraiser, Will and Grace, Seinfeld, etc if I happen to catch them.

  • You do the same thing we do on Monday nights.
  • Dexter is my favorite TV show but I wait until the DVDs come out and then I buy the season and when I am finished I send it on to a friend who then passes it on to someone else. I just finished watching season 3 with Jimmy Smits. Terrific TV. rushlan

    I tape a lot of daytime shows. I only watch the interviews or segments that are of interest to me. Same with Y&R, I skip storylines or characters that are boring.

    • The View
    • Ellen Degeneres
    • The Dr. Oz Show
    • Oprah
    • Y&R

    On weekends I watch Desperate Housewives and The Amazing Race (my favorite show).

    I have mostly seen the reruns, of course, but, All In The Family has always seemed brilliant to me, Donna.

    I watch Y&R - that's the only daytime show I regularly watch. For primetime, I generally catch Desperate Housewives & The Amazing Race on Sunday night.  I also still like Grey's Anatomy, and Private Practice.  I also regular watch Medium. In fact I often watch 2 episodes of Medium on Friday night - I think one is the current season, and another is a rerun. 

    I caught one episode of Glee, and think it looks really good. But I'm frequently busy on the night it airs, so I doubt I'll see it often. (I'm not into taping).  Same with The Perfect Wife.

    I used to love Golden Girls. :)

  • faysie, if you mean ''The Good Wife,'' I have watched most of the episodes on hulu.com. It comes on at 10:00, so I often fall asleep and miss at least part of it. //SqueezeMe

    I watch Y&R most days.  The only prime time show I watch is The Good Wife on Tuesdays.  The boys love their science shows and stuff like Dirty Jobs and Mythbusters on Discovery.  Once in awhile I watch with them.

    Right now the only shows I watch are The Amazing Race and NCIS (the original).  I can take or leave the Los Angeles version of NCIS, though I do love Linda Hunt in the part she plays.  Lost and 24 will not be back until January and those are the other two I try not to miss.  Other than than these shows it is hit and miss if I watch something.  I watch more movies than anything.

    I saw that woman on Oprah! OMG what horror. I've never seen anything like it, not even the worst burn victims. Her eyes kept oozing what looked like blood. She is the bravest person.
