not much else worth it in my mind.

Rockwiz (cause I have no life and am home most Sat nights)![]()
Spicks n Specs
Footy (AFL - not that butt sniffing or girly faking a fall type)![]()
Ummm... that's about it. The rest of the time I am just aggravating my wifey skipping channels every minute or so hoping by some miracle a new channel has appeared in the last minute with something interesting.. it never has.. but I keep hoping ![]()
Oh actually Friday night on SBS is usually (ahem) interesting (Hot docs)
I am a sucker for doc (hot and otherwise). I am also a sucker for SBS films (ditto). Don't ask me why but I am always drawn into other language films as the sesnibilities are so differant. They also seem to be so much more important and meaningful.. until you get to the end of half of them and realise it was just French/German/Korean art toss! Still you usually get a nice eyeful or two to keep you happy.
I recently got one of those cable packages with the recorder. Finally actually worth getting cable as you can finally watch all the shows you bought it for. Can set it all remotely via their web TV guide too. Very slick.
F1 is so much better with fast forward.
If I had to pick one at the moment, from the top of my dome, "Family Guy".
I've really got into Dexter and six feet Under both produced by a bloke called Alan Ball (famed for American Beauty) onto the last season (5) of Six Feet Under and have consumed Dexter greedily, Season 4 starts in Sept.
Also got a thing for Documentary's esp. Louis Theroux who is genius.
He did this one about Jimmy Saville a while ago which Jimmy reckons he wants to be played at his Funeral.
Kids shows. They seem to be churning out so much crap for adults, but the kids shows are well made, entertaining and funny for parents too.
Why is every second adult show about a murder investigation?
Louis Theroux, now there's a show!! Saw him do a doco on swingers parties, I agree he is a genius - when/where is he on??
Alas Dexter was great for 2 seasons and got a bit stoopid near the end of the 2nd, I am reliably informed goes downhill at a frantic rate in the 3rd.
6 feet under was tops. Great end to the series too, before it went cr@polla.
i think we're all talking the same language here.
big fan of dexter and louis theroux, louis' weekend at the brothel was a cracker.
the doco's that got me into doco's were from Nick Broomfield.http://www.nickbroomfield.com/home.html
I hate to admit it but I watch Peep Show on ABC2 on Thursday nights.
It doesn't seem to be as good as the earlier episodes, but still cringe-worthy tv!
Mash:-...I can think of nothing for 15 minutes (I tape it)
Spicks and Specs:- I can laugh for 1/2 an hours
All a bit serious. For funnies:
Big Bang Theory (shame not on anymore)
Two and a Half Men
For action:
The Unit (shame not on anymore)
But for informative and p!ss funny - The Gruen Transfer was tops! Hoping for another series.
Thursday night, L&A on 10 then later on SBS, Oz and there is no way I would miss Tony Martin and Alex Dimetriades in "Wild Side" on ABC.
Unfortunately Oz and W.S. overlap a little.
"Underbelly" has been great too with some really good up and coming young actors.
Anybody watched the full "Canal Road" series? You can still download it from ninemsn. Great Aus television production. Up there with the rest of the world.
Rove, Spics & Specs, Glass House, Good News Week and the Wiggles just don't do it for me. I'd rather David Dork Letterman. At least he makes no pretensions to being clever or funny. It's like "I may be a dickhead, but I AM on EVERY night and I can pull whoever I want onto the show." He had the "Cat Empire" on last year, so that gives him some class.

The Yanky way of doing things is not a patch on the European.....even with subtitles. Continental seen to do better camera work, treat subjects from a different perspective, and their actors are virtually unknown and uninhibited.
However, Russian women are not my perfect woman, and when they star i sometimes wonder, why they were ever put on this planet, or maybe its the way their men treat them. Makes me cringe.
Thats all i watch really. Dont get tv in my house, so have to get it from other sources...like dvds....
Top Gear
Supernatural
Scrubs
Shameless monday sbs 10pm
into its 5th or 6th series now funniest show ever
if you like english humour at its best
will take awhile to sus out whats going on but its worth it
Gonna be watching "We Can Be Heroes" on Comedy Channel at 9pm... again. My DL'd version wasn't the best.
Which raises a question:
If it was made by ABC can I get it legally via torrent? Or if it was ever on Cable, and I just forgot to record it/missed it? I have paid for it.
