So I've been watching Desperate Housewives lately. I always thought it would be ridiculously stupid, but I really like it a lot! My sister-in-law had seasons one and two and she suggested them. I really enjoy the character of Bree, she reminds me a bit of myself in my insecurities, but I'm not as mad as she is! I just finished watching the newest season of The Sopranos with Shaun. We really enjoy the show and I have to admit there is quite a similarity between Tony Soprano and MacBeth. The episodes that deal with death in this season really blew my mind! I haven't seen the show My Name Is Earl. Has anyone else seen it? Any opinions? I really like Jason Lee, I can't believe how middle aged he looks. He's a total hottie.  xo |

Oh I really wanted to watch My Name Is Earl but there was something else on the other channel at the same time that I used to watch instead :\ It looked so funny though. Maybe I'll rent the first season if it's out here yet.
lol yay Desperate Housewives... I love it. So funny. We don't have season 3 yet, I guess it'll start January or February. Downloaded the first two episodes when they aired in the US but then got really lazy about that whole torrent stuff... so I stopped. LOL @ Bree though. I wish she'd just fall for a nice normal guy :\

Oh yeah have you ever seen Weeds? They actually played that first season twice here. Finished it up and then started screening it all over again, which was great because I'd missed a couple of episodes.
I really like it. Seemed to be a short season though! Can't wait for the new one to start. Elizabeth Perkins' character is one of the funniest I've seen on tv in a long time.

I loved Arrested Development. I think it was too smart of a show for the US. It was the same quality of a BBC comedy, I just don't think many people understood the awesomeness of it. I've never seen Weeds, but my brother (who owns Bongs & Such) told me it's really really good. I'll have to rent it. Another show that I was totally sucked into, but never saw the final season, was Queer As Folk (the US version). I love Brian and Justin. xo |

I watch so little TV nowadays... I don't even follow any series now... I used to watch more TV but now I'm just watching movies and anime. x) But I like series like Star Trek (TNG, DS9 and VGR), Charmed and Xena. And ER. Well, that has been on TV but for some reason I stopped watching it after some break there was. But even if I don't watch much TV, I'm ready to enjoy those from DVD.  Now only thing I actually sometimes watch on TV is music video channel. |

^ I heard they were going to name a new planet Xena, or maybe it was a moon or something. I like fantasy shows and movies too. Mostly the original Star Trek though.  xo |

I'm starting to feel like enough time (lol less than a year) has passed for me to break out the Six Feet Under dvds again  |

Ooh, how is 6 feet under? How many seasons were there, is it finished?? Mirzy: I also like Law & Order SVU. I like that main guy in it. He was Chris Keller in Oz, has anyone ever seen that show? I've seen about 3 or 4 seasons of it. I really want to finish it. I've been really into Carnivale as well. I've seen about 1.5 seasons of that. I watch a lot of HBO shows, HBO is the shit. I don't have cable or satelite so I watch all my shows on DVD.  xo |

I've never seen Oz, but I like that guy too. He does intense really well. No doubt. I love it when he freaks out and pushes someone up against a wall. It seems he does that a lot.  I saw the guy who played Gob in Arrested Development on TV today, but I can't remember what show it was. :X xo |

I love it when he tried to distract people with his petty magic. "PENNIES!" I crack myself up. I also love George Jr. I think that's his name, he's so awkward, it's hilarious when him and May-Bee are together in a scene!  xo |

I totally agree with you about the kind of humor in the show - it's not something most Americans like, which is too bad. |

Yeah. I find that American advertising *really* talks down to it's audience and that makes me sad. I think that might have a lot to do with why television is also going downhill. Oh well, HBO always makes good shows.
Who doesn't love the Simpsons though? I wish there was a channel that was Simpsons all day. Then you'd never have to look for the Simpsons on Telly. I also enjoy Family Guy. Stewie is too much sometimes.
Has anyone ever seen The Venture Brothers or Aqua Teen Hungar Force? I love both of those shows too, they are *so* bizarre, but it makes me happy to watch bizarre things, so whatev.
