Right now I'm watching Outrageous Moments on TV and laughing outloud. Then is Last Comic Standing.
Don't have cable-and I can't find the remote so my options are limited-because I'm too lazy to move, and I like laughing.
The Sundance channel and the Independant Film Channel too. Both have great movies including Woody Harrelson's Go Further ecology documentary was just on Sundance and some other green shows. Direct TV is giving these to us for 6 months for free!!!! If you have Direct TV PM me and I will tell you how you too can get these for free along with all HBO channels.
Globe Trekker and some other travel shows and then I hate to say it some real junk TV shows like Big Brother....
I have netflix and once did the make-up on the CEO of netflix while they were filming some news stories about the company. Not that I know how to do make-up but my friend was double booked that day who does and she neglected to show me how as planned.

I like The Office, 2 1/2 Men,
Movies -let's see-wish I could remember the last good movie I saw.
I'll get back to you ,Vanilla.
oh yeah -Goal was a good movie-I like the triumph against the odds type movies.
I like animal stories.
comedy/dramas, like-Little Miss Sunshine.
I think I saw Babel and liked it.
ANything that carries me away from my own reality.
If I can figure out how to hook up my DVD player I might watch my Netflix Babel today while I am having vertigo. I have yet to see it and am I looking forward to watching it.
I saw a good Turkish movie last night on TV but it was sort of depressing but still good.
Cob did you see Bandits? I worked on the car crash scenes on that movie. I was the one who had to clean up all the glass after they smashed up the cars and dress the cars and keep them clean in the rain and in the mud.
They were filming it in a beautiful spot so it was kind of fun but we had to be at work in the middle of the night or very early a.m. which was a pain because the location was miles from my home way out near the coast. I do not like waking up early.
I like Foreign films and independent ones. Some of my favorite ones are Raise the Red Lantern and Red Sorghum. I love Chinese films.

oh, i almost forgot!!! the duck, the duck,
AFLACK........
when that duck comes on i go crazy, well, we both do, we start yelling it's on, it's on.
i laugh so hard i almost hurt myself. especially the one where he's under the covers, or looking in the window and he gets the window slammed on his bill.
oh no, the best one is where he's paying the bills, and the guy orders peking duck and he starts chasing the delivery guy....it's hysterical...
mike likes the one in the barber shop with that baseball guy, where the duck comes out shaking his head. oh yeah, yogi bearra, i think is his name...
gotta watch the duck...... well, any animal commercial....

I like Six feet under too!!! Saw it once!! ***************************
Channel 10 on Monday nights at 7 pm Vanilla!!!
The BEST thing is that it is FOUR years behind actual running time in England!!! So if you peek at the show website or buy a book re the series (as I did*) I KNOW WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN! So I get to feel psychic while watching it! But I don't know all the little things so it is still exciting-
DON'T READ FURTHER IF YOU WATCH THIS SHOW AND DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO STEVE!
Steve Owen, master criminal, for example, who has just gotten back together with his true love Melanie, is ABOUT to BE BURNED ALIVE!!! I know that but I don't know if he is going to be MURDERED by Phil the brute- or if it is a faulty mechanics job on his car!!! Pretty sure a bomb set by Phil- but still- the SUSPENSE!!!!!!!!
My 10 year old and I AND my HUSBAND and my little one are ALL Addicted to this show. My 2 year old and 10 year old and I all sing the intro together every Monday night (2 episodes, back to back and sometimes they usurp it for no good reason like last Monday had a special news report, so sad!) DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOOOOOO DOOOOOOO DOOOO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO!!!!
Will Kat ever start dressing better? (She dresses VERY badly).
Will Janine ever stop being EVIL?
My girls LOVE this show!! The little one doesn't understand it at all, frankly, but she has a fondness for the cute Italian guy named Beppe and whenever he comes on screen she yelps, "BEPPE! BEPPE!"
My older daughter and I both like Steve but from reading the book we know he is DOOMED. So we go, "OH STEVE! OH STEVE!" sadly and melodramatically whenever he pops up.
Drives my husband crazy!! My husband hasn't read the book and gets irritated when we let things slip like, "So WHEN is Steve going to die?" or, "So WHEN is Barry going to get murdered by-"
(I won't finish that in case there are fellow watchers here!!!"
You can even watch excerpts of the best shows online on a web site-
here's the charcters- only of which a fifth exist 4 years before in the time frame I am watchinG!!! Terrence and Wellard for example are the only animals in existence now!!!
Apparently if you have dish network you can watch CURRENT shows!!!!!!! (Wow*)!!!!
I know, I am a silly person, but I enjoy myself.
See, on the current website with Sean- he doesn't even exist yet on channel 10!!!!!!!!!! he won't exist for 3 more years!!!!!!!!!!! You canlook up characters online here even DOGS-
TERRENCE the Lhasa Apso- who WAS Janines dog originally-
Terrence is a Lhasa Apso. Is he as sweet and obedient in real life as he appears on screen with owners Little Mo and Billy?
First Appearance: 29.10.2001
About Terrence
Terrence gets on with anyone and anything. He's pampered and loves it.
Terrence is a bit of a tough guy. He goes for runs across the fields for an hour and a half.
Terrence was bought from a well-established breeder.
Terrence's pet name before he joined EastEnders was Casper, but now he's been renamed Terrence at home as well as in the show.
His pedigree name is Jayridge Next Edition For Zaylon.
His owner feeds him frankfurters as treats when he is being trained!
He was hand-picked for EastEnders because he had the right temperament for the show. He had to be a young dog with a full coat.

Man, I need to get a life.
I have to admit I like to watch the Food Network.
I also like to watch discovery channel, anything about dinosaurs,
America's Funniest videos, etc.
I don't really watch much TV.
In my house it is always Sponge Bob or Nickolodeon on.
Plus I feel like I am living in a Soap Opera.
Hugs,

Bandits has a happy ending but it was ruined for me because I already knew what was going to happen. It is like a lite weight fluff sort of movie.
The Chinese films have no happy endings. They are really depressing but I love them still.
Never did get my DVD hooked up today.

Oh I like House too!! My Mom watches that religiously in LA and we were visiting once and I saw it- good show!!! If I had more time I would watch House and Six feet Under because they were genuinely intriguing. But I always seem to be busy- I'm a reader
Re movies- I love love LOVE movies indies foreign films and when I was younger I was a snob and hated action films or mainstream movies but NOW I like those too (loved Nancy Drew, saw it with my 10 year old, one of the sweetest movies I've seen in years!).
My 10 year old (yes I know! it is adult in theme but she loves it and those lines fly over her head- she has NO clue of half the stuff, she is remarkably clueless) loves SCRUBS and watches it about once a week. My little one loves Little Einsteins and watches it about 3 times a week. That is pretty much all she watches except Teletubbies last year for a while. Still, she watches very little TV...
If I am wiped out, not Lyme wiped out but little kid running around all day blah let me HAVE PEACE wiped out, and feel like I MUST WATCH TV to ZONE OUT, I put on trusty channel 51, Animal Planet, which is usually playing Animal Cops Somewhere. But I only do that about once a month when I've had a really exhausting (my 2 year old throwing tantrums) day.
OH OH OH!!! My husband loves The Daily Show and The Colbert Report and for a year or so we watched those every day but not lately... But for a while the baby had a Colbert fixation (much like "Beppe! Beppe!" and she would clap whenever Stephen Colbert appeared or THE EAGLE! and would crow "STEPHEN STEPHEN!!!!!!!!!"
My Mom loves those too. She's a widow and watches TV regularly at night every night. She used to be a snob re TV- she's an academic- but years after my dad died with no new mate I still remember with affection and sadness the day she called me to tell me to watch Ally McBeal, her favorite new show. (I didn't, had no interest, but she was SO happy like she had found a new friend). She has a roster of shows to keep her company and is addicted to BBC World News. If you call during BBC World News she ignores the phone.
Whoops- baby awake-

Meerkat Manor (BTW, Shakespear is NOT dead...it wasn't Shakes babysitting when Big Sy attacked, that was a female. Animal Planet admitted Shakes disappeared the day before-possibly to another family-and used the attack of the lazuli to explain his dissention. After all the hero of the family shouldn't be guilty of desertion.)
SPOILER:
DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW!
Flower has died. They are going to write it into season three. Unlike Shakes, her fight with a Puff Adder did not end in triumph. The Whiskers currently do not have a dominant female, though I'm hoping Motzart steps up to the plate. I don't know if she has what it takes to be as vicious as poor Flower.
END OF SPOILER
I also like LAw and Order Monk Pretty much any cop show or movie from old Columbo stuff to Monk or The Closer. I really miss Charmed...my sissy girly-girl weakness...but Cole was really hot.
posted
Nancy, I'm shallow, too, becaus I only watch General Hospital for the guy who plays Jason
I have seen Meerkat Manor, though! It gets addictive! But it's too sad for me when I have the mepron blues because they ostracized that one female...who was it...Lyme brain is kicking in...Mozart? I don't know, but they shunned one. Of course I think I'm watching re-runs.

Gena,
Sonny's more my type, to be honest.
However, Jason is hot, I won't argue that.
THAT meerkat was Tosca.
Tosca went off with a roving male from another group, Carlos, to start a new comminity after being kicked out. My daughter cried over the Tosca thing...so I remember very clearly. It turns out, from a zoology standpoint, that meerkats kick out the females who have babies because being separated from the group for a while causes so much stress that it makes them temporarily infertile, thereby the leader is controlling the family size.
posted
TOSCA! Yes, that was her! Poor little thing! She'd just watch the group from a distance, all sad.
Yes, Sonny was my favorite, and I didn't even find Jason that attractive, but I noticed as he got older he got better. Sonny is a close second, though!

OHMYGOSH! That above conversation reminds me of when playgroup Moms and I used to gush about the Steve guy on Blues Clues- the OG original Steve- 10 years ago Blues Clues Steve, not anyone since then.
And the endlessly fun conversation of, "If you HAD to sleep with a Wiggle- which one?" (The pirate doesn't count- it has to be A WIGGLE!! Eeeek!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) I have never been able to come up with an answer barring (pleeease the pirate?) because all of them are so off-putting!! To me!!!!!!!! Still, if you HAD to-
When the original Blues Clues was on EVERY SINGLE MOM I knew EVEN some lesbian Moms thought Steve was adorable. Oh, those were the days*)! It was the ONLY show Moms I knew watched right along with their kids- and then they replaced him with another guy wearing the same shirt who just wasn't THE SAME-

OK, I have grandkids so occasionally I see this show....but these two thoughts come to mind!
Why would you HAVE to sleep with a Wiggle?? Is it necessary to wiggle also? I won't be able to watch these shows without thinking these very thoughts!! LOL--sorry couldn't help my bad self.

But Meg, if you didn't HAVE to, you WOULDN't!! The game is so interesting because they are so asexual and unattractive in an adult way that one can spend hours going, "ANTHONY- NO NO NO I COULDN'T!!! I JUST COULDN'T!!! Um, MURRAY!! UM, NO NO NO!!! NOT MURRAY- JEFF!"
If you don't know who the Wiggles are, this photo explains everything-
Playgroup Moms are desperate for adult pheromones! Cases in point*)!*)!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We must be very very careful about 'judging' each other! I have no doubt two people can watch the same stuff on t.v.- even habitually-- and be quite different!
What about those of us who watch little or no t.v.? What would ...'they'... say about THAT :-o ?

I know there are regular Tv shows that I like to watch-but I can never remember what night they are on, what time or what channel-like I forgot I like to watch HOUSE until someone in this thread mentioned it. Haven't seen it for several months, well maybe weeks, because I just plain forgot about it.
I keep meaning to write up a chart of what i like to watch on TV with specific nights and times-but I even forget to do that.
When I get frustrated with channel surfing I turn TV off and turn onto lymenet. There's usually something entertaining go on there.

It is a nice easy to watch movie that takes your mind off of things with no sad endings.

yes- I checked The Devil Wears Prada out from the library-at the desk the librarian told me it was a 2 for 1 weekend special-so I went back to the display and picked up a second copy of the same movie!
Odd thing is-the librarian didn't question my selection, so I didn't realize it until I got home.
But I thank you for the suggestion-if any others come to mind-pass em along. I'm still looking for Bandits.

If you have cable see if you can get a DVR box or TIVO. You can set it to record your shows. Usually you record once and set how you want future recordings, first run, repeats, any time/channel. The best thing about recording is fast forward thru commercials!

Well I just happen to get my cable bill today and Time Warner charges $84.04. That is for two boxes, one a dvr $5.95 the other regular box. You have to have a certain package mine is digital for $72.54. If I remember right, when I lived in Houston two years ago it was about $20 cheaper. It's a luxuray I couldn't live without when I have those bad days and stay in bed all day.
