Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Sep 09 6:38 am)
I went a period of about 4 years with very little TV watching. I maybe logged 2 to 6 hours a month, sometimes none. Early last year I started to have health issues and started to watch more TV. Gradually one show turned to 2 and then 3... I don't just sit and watch TV though. I don't have the attention span to do that. I have to be doing something while watching. Cleaning (then I just listen and stop to watch the good parts), computer/poser, cross stitch, reading... The shows I try to watch when they are on are: CSI CSI: Miami Law & Order Law & Order Criminal Intent Law & Order Special Victims Unit Charmed Will & Grace Reba Two and a Half Men Criminal Minds Without a Trace Grey's Anatomy Rescue Me L Word Other shows that I like, but have no idea what day they are on, so I only catch them if I see them in the onine guide: House Nip/Tuck NCIS I also enjoy wataching the old classics: Bewitched Gilligan's Island I Dream of Jeannie Three's Company Golden Girls Shows I refuse to tune into? Anything reality based.

LOL ... good to know I'm not alone on this. It starts on monday with LOST, Numbers, CSI New York, Criminal Intend, Crossing Jordan - yep, I have to tape some of it since it's shown on different channels at the same time. Continues on tuesday with CSI Miami, Desperate Housewifes. Then there is CSI Las Vegas on wednesday and DeadZone, followed by Law and Order on thursday and finally friday Cold Case, Without a Trace and Missing. I am so glad that there is saturday and sunday to give me a break ;-)

Khai - I'm a House addict too - and I agree it's probably Hugh Laurie's finest piece of work to date. I also like CSI (only the Vegas series though), Stargate SG1, Law & Order Special Victims Unit etc. Old classics I like - Orignal Series Star Trek, Babylon 5, Mission Impossible (absolutely hated the first Tom Cruise MI movie - turned it off 15 minutes in - didn't like the fact that the director & star hadn't got a clue that the series was about a team, Tom Cruise just ain't James Bond, but this was the impression they were seeming to give.), all the old Gerry Anderson series (Stingray, Thunderbirds, Joe 90, Captain Scarlet etc.), oh and Sky TV's Hex (blows away Buffy, has more intelligent plots, is not a monster of the week show the way Buffy was, has well rounded, believable characters (Not the carboard cutouts that comprised the main group)). Shows I won't watch :- reality TV, Alias (tried to introduce too many plots too quick), Angel (David Boreanaz cannot act) apart from Season 5 when Spike turned up, X-Files (too environmentally friendly with plots & ran too long), Friends (One joke plot which ran too long )
LOST - the only show I watch live! Others get recorded on VHS and commercials skipped. Wifey can't understand why I go on and on about Kate (wifey just thinks she's nothing special). Of course, being equal oppotunity, sure wish I looked like the doc (of course, wifey gets juiced up at Josh Holloway...well, I guess he's no slouch). It has a strange plot that keeps you guessing. I knew it was going to be a hit after 2 episodes...just glad it wasn't on "cancel it quickly Fox" who got rid of my FIREFLY too quickly!
I am addicted to the following:
The X Files
The 4400
CSI
CSI: Miami
CSI:New York
Numbers
Monk
Law & Order
Law & Order Criminal Intent
Law & Order Special Victims Unit
Without a Trace
The forensic files
Cold case files
The new detectives
problem is that some of these come on at the same times...sigh..so I miss episodes here and there.

edited to add Crossing Jordan,can't believe I forgot that one!

I've noticed that Television Network execs in the good old USA don't seem to like drama that's too cerebral - I get the impression, that if they could get away with it, all you'd have on TV would be wall to wall soaps & Jerry Springer type programs. I was royally pissed of when they cancelled Crusade (the follow on to Babylon 5, like Firefly it was cancelled midway thru the 1st season, before it'd had a chance to find its' feet. Firefly wasn't too bad a show, not lowest common denominator TV like Buffy & Angel were. Like Crusade, there was an on going storyline which hadn't had time to develop properly and some moron of a TV exec went and cancelled it. It does seem that TV execs both sides of the Pond don't seem to like Science Fiction (They don't seem to like anything that makes you think), after all the Moron who's now Director General of the BBC went and cancelled the BBC's biggest selling program of all time (Doctor Who) in the 90's.
and NO the X-Files are not over! ...they are just taking a really long season break to explain all that mess they ended the last episode with...The truth IS out there!

now I'm an addict for Star Trek. With a few exceptions (750+ hours of shows, and mostly DS9..;) I have them all taped. Gotta do something about getting them to a more 21st-century medium..;)
I like the Sci-Fi Friday lineup, but I wish they'd do more than about 10 episodes, then reruns 'until January'..sigh..;)
why can't you watch and render at the same time? I do, Military Channel, Modern Marv..er, History Channel, stuff like that..something to do while you wait for the little guy to march across the render indicator..;)
I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit

Yup, I'm watching ROME, very well made series. apart from the adventures of Lucius Verenus & Titus Pullo it's very historically accurate (right down to the graffiti on the walls). The acting is top notch, & it's just that bit shocking (but the sex & violence are mean to, to give the viewer an idea of what the Roman Empire was really like. This show is comparable to I, Claudius for the excellence of the writing & acting. I wonder if the series will go all the way to the crowning of Octavian aka Caesar Augustus as the first emperor. BTW I wasn't that impressed by the final season of Babylon 5, apart from the very last episode, it suffered from the absence of Ivanova (Claudia Christian was sorely missed).
The trouble with LOST is that it's a JJ Abrams show. I'll never watch another. Every time I watch one his shows I get hooked on them, and then the show spirals out of control, and I end up hating the characters I once loved. His shows always have a really strong start and then end up flaking out. All my friends are hooked on LOST, but I figure if in 5 years they still say it's good, then I'll get the dvd's and give it a shot. Not before. That's what happened with Smallville, and I think it's a great show. It had a very slow start though, imho.
Dunno about anyone else but I have been getting a kick out of watching Discovery lately with Myth Busters, Monster Garage and Junk Yard Wars.....
The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of

Myth busters is great, they had a back to back of those a few months ago and i recorded about 8 episodes, then a couple months later i was ill and watched the lot in one go, loved it....Anyone getting into Threshold, i recorded it for a friend whos VCR broke and ended up hooked on it, kinda makes me wonder how many other shows i may be missing.........Steve
Quote - nobody is watching ROME?
I think I saw the first episode and I liked it. However, I tend to not really pay attention to what days things are on (I use the online TV guide and look to see what's on that hour). So because of that I tend to miss episodes.

TV has been sucking bad for 5 years now. There are very few things worth watching, imho. So few things, surf clicking click click click
...that I've discovered Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. I love it. Don't call at night, I won't answer. Too busy watching Adult Swim. ;)
I also like Comedy Central's fake news Daily Show and Colbert Report. Too funny.
Other things worth watching are PBS Tuesday's Frontline and Nova, CNN, Mystery Diagnosis on Discover Health, MadMoney (does that guy need to lay off the coffee or what? lol!), and the VH1 flashback-type shows are fun. .. Ooo yeah, MythBusters! I LOVE that show!

Criminal Minds is incredibly good. I've been watching the original CSI since it started. Of course then there's SG-1 and Atlantis along with Everwood, One Tree Hill, Simpsons, Boston Legal, all the Law and Orders, and American Idol (when it's airing). We've watched all the Star Treks since last winter, Farscape was amazing also. Currently we're watching Babylon 5 and Ranma 1/2. We also spent a night watching all the Matrix movies and more recently Lord of the Rings. But... everything we watch is time shifted.
LOST! LOST! LOST! I'm a huge fan of LOST! Never miss an episode! Hopelessly addicted, and love/hate how they always leave me salivating for the next episode. :D I also love: Farscape Star Trek: TNG Monk Law & Order Law & Order: CI Law & Order: SVU Stargate Stargate Atlantis Charmed Surface Invasion Tripping the Rift

24 Battlestar Galactica CSI - all of them Law and Order - all of them Lost The Shield Wanted the entire saturday night Adult Swim lineup on cartoon Network Fortunately/unfortunately, due to work and other needs/wants, I'm a casual viewer of some of the above (most prime time stuff). But one day, I'll retire, buy all the DVDs, and there'll be hell to pay!
ROME is starting now here in Spain I'm becoming also a gourmet. I watched recently a delicatessen, a british thriller sci-fi series, CHILDREN OF THE STONES. I watched it when I was a child, was nice to discover still is scary... Searching now for DARK SHADOWS, a horror series with Ben Cross as the vampire Barnabas... ... and what can I say about LOST? Only... I was down there in the hatch... 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42... :D

Hi folks I'm sick. I was a Poseraddict. Well, I go to Poserholics Anonymous meetings and now sometimes I leave my computer and I can sleep daily one more hour (5) But now I have a new trouble. You know, here in Spain we watch all your series. Our americanized tv showed from Mission: Impossible to Dallas, Mork and Mindy, Kung-Fu, until all the Cheers, Sex in New York, Friends, CSI, etc etc. But with age I'm becoming a gourmet. I don't watch everything but only series which sometimes catch specially my attention. Over all, because my rendering schedule (ouch! I'm an addict, I'm an addict, I'm an addict) allows me a reduced time to watch tv. My videotape recorder is broken and I never remember to carry the tecnical service to repair it. And I hate commercials. So... in the last years I only consumed a few products. Twin Peaks, X-Files, Will & Grace... But all this finished. I'm a seriesaddict. Internet kills the tv star (paraphrasing the Buggles song). It started with LOST. Spanish tv show LOST first season. I say: "...and?". I surf the net looking for info. And I find a forum, and... I found a forum of LOSTaddicst. They gave me all the info. Now I'm watching the series at the same time than America (desesperately waiting to next episode in january 11th). I've watching THE 4400 first season (second season in few days). I want to watch TAKEN. ANGEL. ALIAS. PRISON BREAK. INVASION. Too many series, too little time Four hours again. Coffee, more coffee... I'm an addict. But... I have a lot of fun :D
