What 2005 fall TV show are you most anxious to watch?

I don't have access to US network television, so I won't be watching any of these shows in the Autumn, irrespective or whether I'd want to or not.

My Name is Earl, just looks quite entertaining. am anxious to check it out...also for the new season of Arrested Development...love that show!!

South Park, Lost, Deadwood, Rome

I'm currently hooked on Lost. That's the only new show that I'm watching at the moment.

Nip/Tuck... Lost... House...

Do not watch TV and don't have one but usually I go over to my neighbor's apt. and watch a few minutes of Martha Stewart's new daily show because we have always admired her. And I like her two dogs.

Just two, "Bones", because it's based on the Kathy Reich books and "Nightstalker" based off the 1970's T.V. series, "Kolchak: The Night Stalker".

Anything on CBS, then ABC. I get CBS the clearest, then ABC. They're all I watch.

There is one show that I cannot remember the name of. The one with the doctor that walks with a cane and is addicted to pain killers. All his cases are very complex and he teaches students a lot..and is real rude.

Gilmore Girls (already premiered), Alias, Lost, and West Wing.

Prison Break (interesting so far), Earl, Survivor, Housewives, Boston Legal for sure....I like many of the other shows and catch them when I can.

House. Yeah, that's a good one, too.

Lost! I'll also be watching the second season of the 4400, which is just starting here, and I'll probably watch one of: Supernatural, Night Stalker, Invasion, Threshold, or Surface. Not quite sure which one yet, and I'm not going to watch more than 3 hours of tv a week.

The show you're thinking of is "House M.D". The guy with the cane is played by the British comedian, Hugh Laurie.
They started it showing it on British TV in June and I liked it at first, but I just find it irritating.

yes, that's it. It's not even on a major network so I am surprised that I watched it. Those WB,Pax..etc..shows bore me. I saw, "What I Like About You" last week and almost threw up.

Sometimes he over plays the part of being an insensitive hard ass.

Unfortunately I am leaving the country so I dont think I'll be able to see any of these season premiers Instead I have BBC 1 ,2 and channel 4 ( and possibly channel 5) to get geared up for.. hmmmmmmm lets see I like Hells kitchen and Big Brother UK is pretty good ( this is Devina speaking please do not swear..) Trading Spaces with Lawrence Luwellyn Bowen is ok.. Oh well, I reckon I'm definately going to have to get sky~ I dont want to miss the final season of Will and Grace.. and I want to see Arrested Development.

I don't get anxious to watch tv shows, especially new series that I've only seen ads for.

House but its been on a while so isnt technically a 'fall' show i guess but its still ace and Hugh Laurie is just fantastic

sometimes i think he does overplay it but last week when he effectively told the new head of department where to stick it coz he didnt like the guy was awesum, he does witty sarcasm very well :->

Hi Icurok... off topic question for you please!?
Any ideas on where to set up house in the Uk? My flight leaves on the 9th of Oct..staying in Devon for a week and then me and my partner have to decide on where we are to move.. i need somewhere that is relatively cheap, scenic /pretty place, not too big, but not too small... ( even a nice village close to the city would be ok) also somewhere with good employment options... Tell me anywhere besides Bath.. I lived there for nearly 3 years and while I love it,, its too expensive and not enough jobs..Sorry.. I just thought I might ask you. THANKYOU KINDLY

yes, I agree with you. His fellow doctors he handles well but he would never be able to get away with that bed side manor with real patients

Oh, it's not that I find irritating. I like that he's a grumpy arsehole. It's the formulaic nature of the show that winds me up and in that sense it's almost as bad as Bewitched.
There's an old Far Side cartoon entitled "A Writing Session for Bewitched" in which the first writer says, "Hey, I got it! Why don't we have Endora put some kind of a spell on Darren and no one knows what's going on until Samantha figures it out!" and the head writer replies, "I like it!".

In "House", the patient turns up, House isn't interested, changes his mind, makes first diagnosis (which will turn out to be incorrect), by fluke the patient starts to get better but then gets worse. House makes diagnosis number two (which will also turn out to be wrong), patient almost dies, House figures out the right diagnosis, someone is then obliged to say, "so... the cure was killing him?", patient gets better.. cue sappy ending. Pad it out with some filler scenes in which the naive underling is naive, the pretty one is pretty and the black one says, "I think House has really lost it... *this* time". Also include one scene in which House becomes Sherlock Holmes and infers far too much information than you would realistically expect to get from meeting someone for the first time (e.g "You have a wife called Marjorie and like to take your holidays in the Azores. You have two dogs, a peanut allergy and you fell off your bike when you were 12").

I've never seen it, but I like your last sentence. I know people who do that in real life!

It depends on what kind of work you're looking for and how far you're prepared to commute. The general rule is that the further North you go, the more scenic it gets (the Lake District, the Peak District and the Yorkshire Dales) and the cheaper the house prices are. Unfortunately the general rule is that it's inversely proportionate to the job market.

tom and jerry

Animal Cops, all cities, Animal Planet
Forensic Files, Court TV
all Bill Kurtis documentaries on A&E
Dirty Jobs, Discovery Channel
Life in the E.R., TLC

We watch West Wing when we eat dinner together downstairs.

I am a news and documentary type person. You get my interests with the above list.

I'm looking forward to my eighth consecutive year without television. Apart from the occasional viewing at friend's places, which is more often than not a rented movie, I haven't really watched television since the Summer of 1998.

From what I have seen, I'm not missing much.

You are absolutely right. The Bewitched thing was kinda a sign of the times. I Love Lucy: Lucy comes up with a scheme and enlists Ethel and the entire thing backfires. I didn't expect anything (more or less) from any of these shows. In fact, Betwiched was very serious in it's first season...but went downhill and predictable from then on. Too bad.
On "House", I haven't watched it long enough to see your pattern but thinking about it, I see it now. So it does belong on "WB" and "Pax" after all. Like Bewitched, the plots of these medical drama's are bound to get more and more stupid.

Couch Potato Syndrome

I found the pattern pretty annoying, too. Partway through the season they finally started deviating from it. There's a really wonderful episode towards the end of the season where House is lecturing students (in a formal lecture hall, I mean, not just yelling at them) and tells the story of the problems with his leg... it was a fantastic piece of storytelling.

The O.C!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...and Nip/Tuck....but thats not on the list.

Law & Order SVU and "Las vegas" want to see what/who Lara flynn Boyle's character is gonna be

The L&Os and CSIS (except CSI NY, that blows), Smallville, and some returning shows you didn't list. New shows however, nuh uh. not even if they look good. I'm trying to ween myself off of television. It won't be easy with jason Lee's new sitcom coming out, but if I can avoid watching that, I'll be able to braek this TV addiction sooner rather than alter.

i don't watch to much tv on a regular basis. when the L word is in season, i watch every sunday...........

I like watching the simpsons

I'll watch The Apprentice (with Trump). I can't stand martha stewart.
I'll watch Survivor, and I'm interested in seeing what Prison Break wil be like.

Movies like that you just have to psyche yourself up beforehand that they are mindless and accept that before you even buy your ticket

Prison Break has been on for a few weeks on Global up here....it's good.Stacey Keach plays the warden. I didn't know about that until I saw him.

I miss Friends! I never get tired of seeing the reruns. I hope they have many reunion shows over the years. And I don't want one of them to die and they stick a look alike actor in the dead Friends place. It isn't the same.

In the UK, we're at the point in the season where Vogler has just taken over. I'll watch it if nothing else is on. "Lost" on the other hand is the only thing I'll actually set the VCR to record if I know I'm not going to be in. Pretty much everyone I know is hooked.

I think it's the final (third?) Vogler episode which is the one I was thinking of.

Lost was great... a bit of a tease... I was really enjoying it, though... and am looking forward to it starting back up.

I'm surprised you don't have a Tivo!

he he

Five channels and only one programme I'd consider recording if I knew I was going to be out. Tivo would hardly be value for money. I think that's why it died a death over here. No shops sell it anymore.

Desperate Housewives and Smallville

Very good point...

Damn, I've already missed the first 3 shows? I might as well forget about that one. What night/time is it on?

i bet if any real doctors watch it thou they'd wish they could!! They must get some really irritating patients at times, id love to see a doctor talk that way to some of the people i know, hell id like to see anyone talk that way to some of the people i know!!

Up State? Are you close to the border?

None. I don't own a T.V.

I like all the CSIs but if I had to pick just one it would be Miami

Oh my god- WTF? Where is LOST?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOST is the best freaking show on tv - that is what I'm dying to see.....
Other than that - it was The OC. I love the OC and Smallville too.
There's also a new show on the WB called Reunion that's really good.
These 3 shows are my friend David's. He markets them for WB.
I'm looking forward to several Sci-fi and fantasy type shows that are coming out also, none of which made your list.
They are:
Medium (it's returning),
Surface,
Threshold,
Invasion,
and Ghost Whisperer.
I saw Supernatural and it sucked.

las vegas is the better of the three of the csi's

I don't have TV where I live, but I'll be getting my dad to tape me all the Desperate Housewives episodes. I would also like to be able to watch Martha Stewart and Trump Apprentices.

I just love CSI Miami it is one of my favorites along with Law and Order, and the Gilmore Girls I enjoy and 7th Heaven you have to see these? They are so darn good and I enjoy all of my Soap Operas on daytime television Monday thru Friday All My Children and General Hospital.

> Desperate Housewives and Smallville

Smallville is another one of my favorites and I watch this on the WB Channel Clark Kent

> I don't have TV where I live, but I'll be getting my dad to tape me

> to watch Martha Stewart and Trump Apprentices.

Do you not miss television at all? And of course you can do other things as well

I do, kind of. But it's too much of a distraction.

Yes television is a distraction I agree to that, and I watch television and I work on the computer at the same time, plus I am alway's eating something and getting my coffee or tea and coolade drinks and water, then I am back here and time to do laundry or take a nap, or I go out in my back yard and I feed the birds, I can do just about anything all at one time and I catch a glimpse of my television to watch my movie and there is a real good Movie on tonight and several I should say? The Lord of The Rings is on for 2 hours and I am watching a Turner Classic Movie about Heaven and these people die and go right to heaven it is so darn good I should get right back to my Movie very soon even thou I might be able to see it again, David Niven have you heard of him? He is the star in this movie and he is so good an Actor.

CSI (all of them) and law & order (all of them)

Sex and the City is another real good one' men you better watch out for us women?

I think I heard of David Niven, but I cannot recall who he is.

David Niven he is like British and he goes back a long time ago, and he has had his own movies and I cannot remember what they were? I wonder if David Niven did a show with Mary Poppins or something he did something simular to this?

And it could have been Willy Whonka and the Chocolate Factory that David Niven was on?

criminal minds

Normally I try not to butt in, but "he is like British and he goes back a long time ago" is possibly the worst attempt at describing an actor I've ever seen.

David Niven is a legendary British actor and urbane English gent. Coming from a military background, he left acting to rejoin the army in 1939 in order to fight in World War II, during which time he attained the rank of Colonel. He's played Phileas Fogg in the original 1950s version of "Around the World in 80 Days", Sir James Bond in the 1960s spoof "Casino Royale", infamous jewel thief Sir Charles Lytton in the Pink Panther films and Hercule Poirot's eager sidekick Col. Race in Agatha Christie's "Death on the Nile".

The film that sweetly was trying to describe ("Heaven and these people die") is "A Matter of Life and Death" from 1946.

Oh and he was not, I repeat not, in "Willy Whonka(sic) and the Chocolate Factory".

so....did you watch the jason lee show lastnight???
freakin' hilarious....i tell ya, if you didn't catch it, you must....you'll be amused.

Damn, wasn't My Name is Earl on last night? I wanted to watch it and forgot to set the DVR. The only other shows I love and never miss and episode, is Oprah and Weeds.

I'd like to, but I'm really trying to watch less TV, so that means I won't be wathcing any of the new shows coming out this year. It sucks, but it's starting to feel like an addiction to me, and this is the first step in rbeaking it. The fact that a few of the shows I wathc are in their final seasons (Smallville for certain, SG-1 and Charmed maybe) makes it easier thank goodness. It also didn't hurt that CSI New York sucked. Although if AZ ever gets around to doing CSI London, I might have another problem.

i understand about weaning yourself off of it....couldn't hurt that's for certain...but, omg...you would really like the show!

Also NCIS... I love Abby the Goth Lab Chick... totally cool...

As for the so called "Reality Shows" which have about as much to do with Reality as Tom & Jerry Cartoons, I have yet to watch any of them... If I want reality I will look out side...ugh...

If they wanted to do a REAL reality show they should give each contestant a knife and drop them off on an island and the last one alive wins...NOW THAT WOULD BE A COOL REALITY SHOW....

Survivor: Guatemala

So much television so little time...

I just looked it up on IMDB and it says he was in Pink Panther movies.

Yeah, I checked him out on IMDB. When I saw his picture I actually remembered him from the Pink Panther movies. It doesn't look like he did anything recently.

Oh wait, my bad, I just saw that he died in 1983.

CSI Las Vagas-best CSI show in my opinion then maybe Navy CSI, and Numbers

Yea Pink Panther I have seen it, it was so good! I hope that this comes back on again

None of these. I seldom, if ever watch television and I haven't even heard of most of these shows.

Curb your Enthuisasm!
