coffee_rules Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Just like new movies thread, we could discuss new TV shows or series that is worth your time. This will take me to another of my "Where are the good writers these days" rant. It is strange how with 9000 channels one is still unable to watch a quality programme these days. Personally I have always hated reality television, whats the big deal about it anyway?? We can take out reality TV shows as it is not worht anybody's time. They just target the voyeuristic nature of men/women who get sucked into it just because it is on TV. I like to stick to sitcoms and crime shows (Law and Order, CSI etc.) as I don't have to follow it everyday like a series. Of the sitcoms I liked 'Curb your Enthisiasm' from Larry David. After Sienfeld, this was the only one I liked. It is kind of similar to it. The crime shows that come on ABC (Monk etc) are very good watches too. Law and Order series, CSI ..is a bit predictable..but holds your interest. The song competitions like Idol (American and Indian), Saregamapa, Star TV voice of India are very good in realtity TV shows..just for the performances only. I hate when the show some staged drama.

coffee_rules Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 I like house too. But sometimes it is a bit far-fetched. I hate to see any celebration of human misery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Good thread teaman. The series I got hooked onto last year were: 24 - watched all seasons during the course of the year. Heroes - watched both seasons. Very good series. Dexter - seriously good series with good humour about a serial killer who kills other killers I also download a few Byomkesh Bakshi episodes from back in the day. :top: And why haven't they done a season 2 for Sarabhai v/s Sarabhai? That was hands down the funniest Hindi serial in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 My list of all-time favorite TV shows/series. Hardtalk - Hard-hitting interview series, with some of the most high-profile politicians, business people and news makers facing up to some refreshingly tough questions. Top Gear- This stems from my fascination for fast cars and good humor. Top Gear is a perfect amalgam of the two. Rough Science - Another BBC series that was very interesting. Da Ali G Show - I love Baron Cohen to bits, that is reason enough for me to not to miss any of his shows. Big Brother - I know this IS reality TV, but I really liked this, especially with all the controversy with Shilpa Shetty :D The Brainiac series - I like Richard Hammond, so I watched this too. The Big Fight, in NDTV - Inda's first open ended debate series. AXN's The Amazing Race - There was a time when I used to be really hooked on to this. Another AXN show, The world's most amazing police video. Just for Laughs , Gags - One of the truly hilarious shows I have seen. Besides this, I never miss the BBC's everyday wrap of World news and World Business Report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffee_rules Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Office is my fav too. I haven't watched Lost or Heroes yet. I like to rent DVDs of TV shows and watch them at one shot, instead of waiting on everyday/week. Office Office (Hindi) from Pankaj Kapoor is a hit too. I like the way he speaks different Hindi accents so fluently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holysmoke Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Lost is the best. Heroes comes close prison break season 1 was very very good, then it went downhill. the office, house, and "the big bang theory" are good too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Wicket Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Just downloaded a whole bunch of Family Guy (watch some shwetabh, some of it's on par w/ Simpsons!) and House over the last few weeks. Time to start watching. :D (And in between, not much new - mostly older stuff. Right now on disc 2 of a 14 or 16 disc set of Monty Python's Flying Circus) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Outsider Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Sorry, but Family Guy is not even in the same league as Simpsons. Simpsons and South Park are really good and I generally watch them on DVD, but can't stand TV in general. Another favorite of mine was Beavis and Butthead.

Predator_05 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 My list of all-time favorite TV shows/series. Hardtalk - Hard-hitting interview series, with some of the most high-profile politicians, business people and news makers facing up to some refreshingly tough questions. Top Gear- This stems from my fascination for fast cars and good humor. Top Gear is a perfect amalgam of the two. . Good picks. Hardtalk was excellent when Tim Sebastian was the host. Ever since he quit (i think in '04), it hasn't been quite as good. I stopped watching TV shows. The one i watched all the time was 'The Sopranos', but it came to an end last summer. I've been watching 'The Simpsons' ever since i was a kid, but it's sh it now. Now i just watch the sports channels, the news and a movie every now and then.
