In no particular order...
- Top Gear (rated top show in U.K.! check out the 60 Minutes episode and the overtime web segment)
- 60 Minutes (very good news show)
- The Daily Show With Jon Stewart (very best "fake news" show with real news)
- Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations (best travel show, with food ;-))
- Gardener's World (U.K. show, the best gardening show)
- This Old House/Ask This Old House (best home improvement show and home improvement DIY)
- Good Eats (still the best cooking show)
- Mythbusters (most entertaining "science" show)
- Dirty Jobs (do not watch while eating, ever)
- Chuck (going strong in season 4, story arc is still moving along OK)
- Misfits (U.K. show, season 2, very good and realistic about limits and downsides of superpowers)
- Bones (season 6, getting stale)
- Caprica (storyline got bogged down, canceled, too bad)
- Dexter (still going strong, but saving up episodes to watch all-in-one-go due to too much suspense)
- Doctor Who (first season with a new Doctor, pretty good so far, a few too many "I'm The Doctor and baddies should just fall at my feet" bluffs/moments though)
- Eureka (cringe at the fake science, still a bit fun, but once they started down the time travel plot, usually signals boredom for me)
- Fringe (too slow moving for me, compiling to watch all at once)
- Human Target (just started season 2, pretty good)
- Haven (not bad but borderline)
- No Ordinary Family (new, not bad)
- Spartacus: Blood And Sand (started a bit weak, but now a full blown epic)
- The Walking Dead (new, lots of zombies, pretty good)
- The Mentalist (season 3, starting the move the story arc forward again, finally)
- Stargate Universe (season 2, finally getting somewhere)
- Sherlock (slick remake on Sherlock Holmes in modern setting, will keep watching)
- True Blood (fast forward through a lot, but the storyline is interesting)
- White Collar (slick, not overdone, quite good)
- Weeds (going strong)
- V (yawn, skipped 6 episodes to the season finale and didn't feel like I missed a thing)
Saving up for a slow weekend, maybe:
CSI
CSI: New York
Nikita
To Watch:
Broadwalk Empire
Lost Girls
Abandoned:
Covert Affairs (weak backstory)
Criminal Minds (got stale)
Hawaii Five-O (yawn)
The Event (FlashFoward wannabe)
Warehouse 13 (too campy, the concept had so much promise)

The Mentalist is my favorite right now!!!
ReplyDeleteCriminal minds got stale?? oh sad! i used to like to watch it should i be awake at 1am ... that's the weird timeslot they put that show. why bother to buy it if you're going to put it in graveyard shift!
Hah, they're probably hoping the ministers don't watch those late night shows and so won't complain about the "give the criminals ideas" shows!
ReplyDeletehaha.. I think most pp (even those ministers)in singapore don't watch Ch5 anymore anyway.
