I  listen to music and read rather than watch tv 99% of the time.
I do try to watch Criminal Minds if I remember its on, but I forget more often than I remember. Morag has recorded it a few times for me but since I cant be bothered trying to learn how to watch recorded shows she has wisely stopped.
My daughter downloads the Walking Dead so I can watch the full season stop to start in one sitting.
Morag however plans her evenings around the tv shows that are on. If she is watching one she records another.
She is a reality tv show addict.

I've started watching "Never mind the Buzzcocks" funny show, it's the show that Spicks and Specks is losely based on.

The latest 24 was pretty good, not much else really, although I don't mind ifish, maybe I'm hoping I'll learn something ::)

Cant belive we are 5 pages into the thread and not one mention of The Wire. Most definatly one of the best series I've seen in a long time.
If only just got onto Game of Thrones and so far its been good. I'll throw another vote in for some of the commonly mentioned ones like Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead.
Cant belive some people actually watch Big Bang - I lasted about 5 mins of watching that before throwing it into the same pile as Home and Away

MASH and Seinfeld are my favs... Big Bang theory always good and two and half men gave me a chuckle. Like Red Dwarf and Flowery twats... I mean Fawlty Towers  ;D

Any one seen 'House of Cards'?
Keen on seeing that and 'Game of Thrones' but getting away on the weekends is winning.

I'm guessing you don't have to use the damn things for work then....

a mate of mine is a checking caption with Virgin - says (up in the air) flying is 98% total boredom - (boots on the dash, reading the papers type of stuff....),   and the other 2% totally intense seat of the pants stuff...

What's that stat. about the majority of air crashes being survivable? - if you can remember a few things....    A whole documentary was made on this...

#Count the seats rear and aft from you to the exits.
#DON'T inflate your life vest till you're out of the plane - otherwise you're pinned to the ceiling/floor as it sinks
#burst into action immediately you can exit the plane - don't hesitate - climb over (empty) seats etc
# Crawl along the floor - follow the green exit lights if acrid smoke is present
# plus a bunch of other stuff I cant recall   grrrr

all this I have "gleaned" from countless episodes of Air Crash Investigation

>>>>>  on topic - "Wire in the Blood"

Not long ago finished the HBO Mini series "The Jinx" about Robert Durst. Very intriguing.
