Telly Addicts?

Not the Noel Edmunds quiz show! No, I wanna know what shows you can't avoid on a weekly basis! New and old shows, British or American TV; what does your personal schedule look like?

I've got Boardwalk Empire on Sundays, House, Castle & Genius on Mondays, The Office (US) on Thursdays, and QI and Blue Bloods on Fridays. Haven't missed a single episode of any of these so far, and my list keeps growing! It's safe to say I am most definitely a telly addict!

TV is much bigger now than say 10years ago. The success of stuff like the sopranos and 24 have allowed movie star caliber actors to take TV roles without it being a step down the ladder!

I'm still not a big TV nut myself, mostly by choice. I was crazy about Buffy/Angel, Friends and maybe scrubs, but they were the last shows I caught religiously but they went away (except for scrubs if course, that just stopped being good)

Now though, I am a Lie To Me and a Modern Family fan. Both are excellence on screen! Sadly, Lie To Me has just concluded season 2, but Modern Family is about to start a new series on sky 1 Oct 7th! Can't wait, might even plan my night around it.

I rarely plan my TV though, i sky plus most things and catch The Inbetweeners on 4OD on YouTube!

Oh and I watch TNA Impact each week but I didn't think that counted!



Oh oh, Idiot Abroad is

Modern Family Season 1 boxset is only £16.99 online, may have to check that out soonish! Finally jumped on The Inbetweeners bandwagon after having a marathon catch-up session on 4oD the other day, I was skeptical at first but I soon caught on and am now loving it!

As for the improvement of TV, I couldn't agree more. It's probably worth its own forum topic, but some time in the late 90s, American TV became real! Sadly it seems British shows have fallen by the wayside, with only a few notable shows from the past decade.

Oh, I forgot to mention The Mentalist in my first post, another Thursday night show!

Man, your gonna be screwing when Sky cancels Bravo!

Hopefully it won't effect me as I'm on virgin

Sky owns Bravo, sky kills Bravo, no bravo on ANYTHING! hoping that a new channel takes TNA!

That said, TNA just launched TNAONDEMAND.COM, actually on that note. I tend to watch all my TV either on Sky+ or online on demand.

I think the last time I made sure I was home to watch a TV show was Buffy!

Someone will take bravo on they gotta!!!

Sky don't need bravo, they have Sky 1,2,3 so they don't want another entertainment channel. At least that's what i heard!

Plus, Sky almost certainly has an exclusivity deal with WWE for wrestling shows on Sky owned TV channels!

Just rang virgin your right not a happy bunny

Right about which exact detail? After that, let's get back on topic! What do people watch on TV?

I'll throw in some classics, whenever i see Faulty Towers or The Good Life on GOLD I will always stop channel surfing and watch!
