Do you watch...

Psych? Friday's season finale had an Austin Kearns reference in it.

Burn Notice? great show, great cast. I'll watch anything with Bruce Campbell in it.

Eureka? geeky science nerds teemed with an awkward sheriff.

Project Runway? guilty pleasure. I watch it with the wife.


anyone have others they can recommend?

Re: Do you watch...

I will never miss an episode of Nip/Tuck. Ever.

Also, if you don't have Arrested Development on DVD you are really missing something.

I was going to suggest that. Actually they are showing the first season Mondays at midnight.

The Riches is very good too.

Re: Do you watch...

I like Psych, and caught the Kearns reference.
Quite a while ago, they did an episode where they were tracing counterfeit dollar bills. They went to a Home Depot, which is where I work. Shawn got on an order picker, freaking Gus out. I got a chuckle out of it, imagining our safety guy freaking out about it, too.

Right before that is Monk, which I am a huge fan of. Tony Shalhoub is a genius, Traylor Howard is hot and I can finally listen to Ted Levine without hearing Buffalo Bill.

The closer you watch that show the better it is. On the surface it feels like an old cheesey episode of Columbo, or something aimed at the Murder She Wrote crowd, but the level of comedy there is truly amazing.

There are times when I want to laugh even harder than my body will let me.

Along with the comedy, there is also a level of tragedy, which pulls me to the show, as well.
I have only gotten into the show a few months ago, and am fascinated by Monk. Fortunately, reruns are shown almost daily, and I have seen some classics.
One where he met his father was remarkable. "Dad...this is touching." "Why, yes, Adrian. This is touching!" "No...I mean...the mashed potatoes...they are touching the other food!" Funny...yet, quickly followed by the touching moment of his dad faithfully separating the food. Only slightly less equal to that are the episodes with his brother (John Turturro).

Re: Do you watch...

Monk is a great show.

Here's a bit of weirdness too.

the guy who plays Chief Stottlemeyer in "Monk" was "buffalo bill" in "silence of the lambs".

It took me a while to figure it out. I just kept on thinking "I recognize that guy"

Re: Do you watch...

We love Eureka, great show, very good cast and "out of this world" story ideas.

Psych is great but I missed Fridays... And the Kearns reference.

Monk is a favorite....

also I can't wait for the return of Chuck, great show...

Re: Do you watch...

Love Psych, one of my favorites and the same for Monk. Both are very good. I am really ready for a new episode of Burn Notice. Seems like it had been forever since it has been on. There isn't a whole lot more that I really bother with. I tried watching Nip Tuck with my wife once and hated it. She is also a big fan of Medium....I can't stand that one either. I usually wind up in another room reading, listening to music, playing with the kids or seeing what is on The History Channel or Discovery or something like that.

Rescue me makes me feel better about my life mistakes. Love that show. I miss the Dresden Files. I thought that had a chance.

Re: Do you watch...

Burn Notice is really good.

I'm somewhat forced to watch Big Brother with my wife.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is very funny.

And a show I just bought the DVD for (at my brother's urging) is The Whitest Kids You Know. I'm loving that show so far. It's on the Independent Films Channel not really sure how many people have that channel though. The very first skit on the first episode involved a girl unknowingly taking a pregnancy test on her boy friend's/husband's I-Pod Shuffle.
