OT: Good Shows on TV..

I don't even know what some of those are, but I guess a description of my favourite shows would be the only ones I make sure to watch each week.

1. Justice League.
2. Enterprise (we haven't even finished season 3 yet)
3. Lost
4. Harvey Birdman
5. Stargate SG1. As for Atlantis so far we have had the first 2 episodes here and I managed to see another while on holiday. I recorded the first 2 and it took 2 days before I could be bothered watching if that means anything. To go off a bit I can't see the main cast of Atlantis being as good as SG1. For example the black junior officer doesn't seem to have much depth. He seems to just be the same as the black junior helmsman on Enterprise. I can't see any epsiodes being devoted just to him.

These are "technically" on TV Still over here

1. Firefly - Need I Say More.
2. Stargate SG1 - Even with O'Neill possibly leaving it will still be excellent.
3. Farscape (ok, it's re-runs, But it's still good!)
4. 24 (I haven't watched this since the second season as I keep missing chunks of it, hopefully it's still as good as it was.)
5. Sharpe (Ok, technically this is Ancient, But again it's re-runs and I still love this show, I grew up on this.)

Hmm Firefly. I'm not really into space westerns, but I see it is popular enough for them to make a movie (yet at the same time not popular enough to last longer than one season

). I looked at the trailer and it looks better. Two parts in particular, the fleets and the captains response when the other guys says he comes unarmed

Edit: sorry to seemingly make this all about firefly, but I'm pedantic as all hell and couldn't get past the opening bit about mankind finding a system with hundreds of planets. yeah ok so I know they must mean sector or region but every time I hear it I think "gee some aliens must have been heavily into terraforming to place hundreds of planets in the one solar system

"

1. JAG
2. West Wing
3. House
4. Corner Gas

And that's about all I watch. The order is arbitrary; if they were all on at the same time I would have to clone myself

If you've never seen Corner Gas, you're missing something!

Well actually I do watch Holmes on Homes now and then. I'm in construction too and talk just like him!
