Re: TV: What are you watching tonight?
 

I really enjoy NBC's comedy line up. I don't go for reality TV or primetime soaps. The Office is probably the best comedy on TV right now, and 30 Rock and Scrubs are also really solid.

Re: TV: What are you watching tonight?
 

Earl
The Office
Scrubs
30 Rock
Shark

I will PVR Survivor, CSI, and The Sara Silverman Program.

All this while cranking out a bunch of reports for work so I can finally quit my job (last day tomorrow... yippee)

Re: TV: What are you watching tonight?
 

survivor? the last season just ended and already another? well, glad you posted this, then.

noticed the office missing from your list. that is the only regular tv show i watch: you need to include it.

Re: TV: What are you watching tonight?
 

MSNBC - Countdown, Hardball

PBS - Wild Things, Nature

OK, so a show I haven't watched getting consensus so far, can someone tell me about The Office?

Re: TV: What are you watching tonight?
 

I watched these:

The Office (wow Michael was in rare form)
Grey's Anatomy (Why do I watch this show!)
Nashville Star
Sarah Silverman (going back and forth between this and Nashville)


I think I need to switch back to Scrubs. Grey's Anatomy is getting so stupid. Anyone else think the Christina-Burke thing is annoying?



Watching Jon Stewart right now.

Re: TV: What are you watching tonight?
 

The Office (wow Michael was in rare form)

He definitely had more than a few cringeworthy moments tonight. Good episode though.

Sniper,

IMO, The Office is one of the best shows on television right now - comedy or drama. I'd recommend starting with season 1 (only 6 episodes) and work your way through. The cast really starts clicking about a quarter of the way through season 2.

I used to work for a supervisor who was like this. She had a television but no cable so she only got 2 or 3 fuzzed out stations (for the kids of course). Invariably office conversation would turn to what we had watched the night before on television. She'd get this bemused smirk and comment on how she had not seen the show because she didn't have cable. She would feign interest and act naive but the truth was she wanted us to know she thought we were idiots.

yes, you definitely need to start from the beginning. the show gets better with age, so stick with it if you aren't completely enamored at first.

Re: TV: What are you watching tonight?
 

The Office (UK) is a must see. Multiple times.

Extras - if you can get this then watch it from the start.

I am also watching episodes of Race Around the World. Read a synopsis here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_Around_the_World

This show set a benchmark that hasn't been reached again in reality TV - and it was a good 4 years earlier than the debacle called Survivor that spawned the reality epidemic that has ruined our television today.


And the cricket, of course.

Re: TV: What are you watching tonight?
 

Heroes for me. It's probably the only new show that I watch aside from Law and Order when I remember that it's on. Usually I catch L&amp;O reruns all over the place instead.

Re: TV: What are you watching tonight?
 

Last night we watched the end of Medium (which goes from being interesting to being silly and back again depending upon the episode) and Grey's Anatomy. I am very tired of G's A, but my wife still loves it. I mostly can't stand the music in the background because it all sounds so "important" and pretty much the same.

I thought the series started to go downhill with the bomb in the chest cavity episodes. But perhaps it was much earlier than that.

Still, my wife and I don't have that much time to sit together after our daughter goes to bed so I'll put up with it.

Re: TV: What are you watching tonight?
 

I watch all four NBC comedies, although I only got around the watching The Office and Scrubs last night; the rest on my DVR. I still tape The OC, but haven't watched in a while. I have a bunch saved up that maybe I'll get around to soon.
I also watch PTI on ESPN most evenings.

Re: TV: What are you watching tonight?
 

I watched Tender Mercies on TCM last night after watching the NBC sitcoms. Robert Duvall is fantastic, and Tender Mercies is a great movie.

Re: TV: What are you watching tonight?
 

My DVR recorded
Earl
Office
Scrubs
30 Rock
Shark

Haven't watched any of them yet.

It's funny you should mention the music because last night it was particularly annoying to me.

I'm trying to figure out what they are doing wrong with that show. Is it too many characters you think? Is it that the storylines are preposterous? Like aren't these people just interns and if so why do they have so much responsibility given to them? Another annoying thing is the close ups of the actors faces. I'm pretty sick of seeing Christina and Meredith and George with that dumb expression on their bewildered faces.

Do you think Grey's lived up to the build up from their promo (see below)? Last nights episode was the first of a 3 episode story arc dealing with the ferry accident. Did it grab you?

OK guys, I've got The Office on my "must catch up" list...

Is anyone watching "Ugly Betty", or is that pretty much a dud, going against The Office and Survivor?

Re: TV: What are you watching tonight?
 

I'll be watching a movie. Movies &gt; TV

Re: TV: What are you watching tonight?
 

I really don't watch TV by free choice, apart from a chat show where they have someone I want to hear talk. My wife watches these shows about British haunted houses a lot of evenings, and they are actually pretty cool.

I do watch TV shows when they come out on DVD though - I prefer no ads, and like to watch a series from start to end. I usually watch a serious series and a funny series in parallel.

Watching Battlestar Galactica Season 2 at the moment, and it's pretty good. Oh and South Park season 7, which is a good one too.

db, you don't watch top gear? i'm not a car person, but love that show. to be fair, my affection is somewhat due to my uk hangover.

Re: TV: What are you watching tonight?
 

I'm trapped in my office until later this evening then going out for a few pints so no television for me. I don't watch much on Friday or Saturday with the exception of recording SNL.

I like the idea of letting this thread run throughout next week though. I comment on the odd television show in OOT but my comments are usually lost in the massive threads.

About your selections for this evening. I like Las Vegas but it fell of my radar when they moved it to Friday nights. 1 vs. 100 takes about 4 minutes to watch if you record it and fast forward through the fluff. I don't like the pacing of the show and there is no incentive for the contestant to go for the million - risk way outweighs the reward. I haven't seen Numbers but hear it's a decent show.

I'll catch up with this thread Sunday PM if it's still active.

Yeah, I (sheepishly) admit I enjoy it although it's something of a love/hate relationship. I'm 35 now and have been watching the show since I was 13 so I've hung in there through thick and thin. All signs indicate we may be heading into a good era. They've scaled down the cast and there have been some killer sketches this year - as well as a ton of duds, of course.

I'm convinced that people who don't like the show simply aren't fans of sketch comedy. This is fine but I have a hard time with people yearning for the Belushi/Radner/Chase era. For the first time those "golden era" episodes are being released in their entirety on DVD (well, season one so far). These discs provide people the opportunity to see sketches that have never been viewed since their original airing. It will also provide people with the opportunity to see that there were a lot of duds back then as well.

It is what it is, I guess...

Not one of the better episodes but it had it's moments. Micheal was at his cringe inducing worst in this one. He's over the top and clueless. We get that. But sometimes (like this week) he's just irritating beyond reason.

My main joys from the office are the background players. Jim playing Dwight was well done as usual. Creed (one of my favorites) switching cards on the gift was perfect. Kevins band is a hoot. Oscar with another toaster. All these things made me laugh. Micheal just needs to be toned back a bit. His character is decent premise but often it goes beyond funny to just annoying.
