For me it's the Star Trek series (even if they are repeats) except for Star Trek Enterprise; I also like to watch Supernatural, Family Feud with Richard Dawson and Steve Harvey, the news and various other items. And you?

My wife and I don't watch a lot of TV but we do enjoy a few shows. Certain British comedies are fun and mysteries, a few of the talent shows when they are on, and most of the shows that we enjoy are very short run because it seems that no-one else likes them.

I must add that in the process of making some of the crime shows the actors playing the criminals do a really good job, because they make me really dislike them, till I stop and think that they are actors playing a part and probably aren't like that in real life. I have later found out that sometimes the actors playing the 'good guys' are not really very nice people.

Pretty much like here then.

It's rather disingenuous when you talk about yourself like that.

Is it? Why?

Inspector Barnaby.

It´s like being in England without having to travel.

Also films about nature, animals and plants.

Million dollar listing LA.
Just love to see greedy money-obsessed yanks with grotesquely stretched faces.

Yes. I have notices how yanks have a great deal of difficulty separating TV and movie fiction from reality. It hasn't gone unnoticed the way yanks, when interviewed after some disaster or other will invariably say, 'ooh, it was just like a MOVIE'. Umm no. Reality came first. Movie second, Ke-mo sah-bees.

I'm a Star Trek nerd too. It took a while to get into 'Voyager' after TNG, but enjoying it a lot now. I'm a late convert, watching the reruns on channel Zed.
