We have a movie thread, why not one for TV?
Family Guy Futurama Scrubs Wipeout iCarly etc.
Discuss
Edit: Forgot Dr. Who, Tosh.0, Spongebob, and Mythbusters. And Deadliest Catch. And Dirty Jobs. And Cash Cab.

Does porn count?
'Cause porn on TV sucks.

Lost was, in my opinion one of the best television shows ever. Alongside of The Sopranos. Best part about Lost was, not only was it exciting and mysterious, but very heart touching and at times, usually at least 2 or 3 times an episode, made me literally laugh so hard it hurt.

My favorite show is Burn Notice. The plot and acting isn't too elaborate, but the fact that the main character has to use such imaginative tactics to win, and also that he needs several back-up plans at times, makes it a wonderful story to watch.

True Blood is also really good.
It's what vampires are supposed to be. Sexy crazed, angry, vicious, blood thirsty, aggressive, and so much more.
No they do not glow like fairies. Stupid Twilight.

Also, Wipeout is just a crappy version of MXC.
They ripped off almost every single event from it. And Wipeout is less entertaining.

It wouldn't be porn if it didn't suck. True Blood is also really good. I've disowned vampires as main characters after Twilight. True Blood is just sex, sex, sex. It even has a chatacter called Sucky! (Maybe thats not how its spelt but thats how it is pronounced.) On a side note I've also disowned Werewolves. You know there are kids going around schools in America dressing up like wolves? With fake teeth, contacts and furry tails. God I hate fanboys/girls. Anywho, I mainly stick to Quizcoms (Have I got News For You, Mock the Week, QI, ect) and the CSI series (All except for NY, the main guy annoys me.) sometimes I watch Top Gear. It's good but the channel I watch it on shows episodes from 2003 where they say that car x is the fastest in the world and now its slow compared to others. My favorite show though, is Criminal Minds. It's brillant. The plot (Which I admit is sometimes ripped compleatly from a book on Ed Gein or Charles Manson) is always very good. The show grips me by the throat every episode and pulls me into it.

I watched the first season of Lost. I loved it. Then I had no way to watch the rest and when I got a chance it got so damn confusing that I gave up on the series.
I have no cablevision at home, but I do rent out videos of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck cartoons, which are ten times funnier for me than ten years ago since I can actually understand the jokes.
In the words of Daffy Duck:
"It's stupendous! It's glorious! It's unprecedentedly magnificent! You could even go so far to say that it's... mediocre!"

What, Rocker? Yes, Wipeout is a rip-off of MXC, but the challenges are completely different. Not to mention they have real people rather than "random competitiors #1-400."
And MXC is off the air as far as I know, so Wipeout is a good substitute.

I've seen MXC on Spike a couple of time recently.

Wipeout just feels too repetitive and not as addicting to watch.
I've been getting really into Stargate. On Season 4 right now. It's a really good show.
