Our favourite serials, soaps and TVshows

[StephanyNJC-UK]

Oo can we put whole channels? Any of the Discovery's but they've been a bit boring off late with all them war progs. I've found a new channel, Alibi, crime fiction, they've been showing my two fave's over the hols - Miss Marple and Dorothy L Sayers, yay

[Slinky]

I'm not a massive fan of US shows as a rule, but did have a MASSIVE soft spot for the X Files in its heyday.

EDIT : oh, and Dr Who... but only the David Tennant episodes
... and Torchwood

And like Dazbo, am a closet Whovian who schlepped the entire family to Birmingham (2-hour drive each way) yesterday to see John Barrowman in Robin Hood just cos I love Torchwood so much ...


I'd also set the video for Spooks.

Oh my I love TV. All the CSI's. Almost any Sci Fi. Midsomer murders. EastEnders and Coronation Sreet. Amazing Race , Survivor. Big Brother( ).Project Runway (Catwalk). "The Food Channel" Holmes on Homes (I love Mike Holmes )Bones, Fringe, 11th Hour. The list is endless, sad to say but I dont go to movies., ( hate sitting in the dark with no stitching and 2hrs I could have been stitching. And I dont like people all around me making noises.) Oh lets not forget Dr. Who and Torchwood.

[Dawn]

Oh tv shows theres a few House Lost Heroes Buffy/Angel Ugly Betty Nip/Tuck. NOt a huge fan of soaps though I do occasionally watch Emmerdale. Also like Red Dwarf Dr Who and Mythbusters.

Was a fan of Big Brother but its gone downhill badly same with X Factor its more about the sob stories lately instead of the singing

[coffee_freak]

House..CSI's..Nip/Tuck (my fave and the new season starts in a few days..woohoo!!)
i don't watch much tv...umm let's see..sitcoms..
Big Bang Theory is funny..

[Rose]

Oh my hubby and I love Red Dwarf and also used to love Are you being served! It was so good but of late they have not had it on any of the BBC Channels.

[grub72]

My favourite series EVER though is Buffy and Angel. I'm still in mourning for that show, I can't express how clever and original this was. Absolutely genius!!!!

I've been buying the 'Charmed' boxsets (as Sammy recommended them) and on my fourth season and its okay, but not up to the standards of Buffy and SATC!!!

Im with you nothing beats Buffy and Angel. I have all buffy and i am going to get Charmed Soon as for Angel i will have to save up even more now to get them.

Well maybe I won't try to make you too jealous by saying that we used to live on Lloyd George Avenue in Cardiff... and the outdoors scenes to the Torchwood "headquarters" were filmed at the end of our street. I've also got pics somewhere of filming taking place with the Tardis on the same site.

erm, I've also been told by my niece (but haven't seen yet) that John Barrowman has bought or rented a house in Barry as a local base during filming. A property that happens to be in the same street as her

[charmagne_capalad]

I'm really a BIG fan of CSI: Las Vegas and New York series (the Miami series don't thrill me as much ) ....and since I'm fond of watching horror/thriller stories I like watching Supernatural and Ghost Whisperer TV series, too.

I used to watch Stargate Atlantis up to it's season 2 but it's been cancelled from our local cable company...

[Ennii]

Hockey and football are really great for stitching!

You made me jealous!! How exciting. They film Midsomer Murder in my neck of the woods, doesn't hold quite the same excitment for me!

I am pretty sure the 8th season of American Idol starts in a couple weeks. I can't believe it's been on this long!

Ohhhhh goody - can't wait! Love American Idol!! Asked for David Cooks album for chrimbo, but didn't get it! Booooo!!!!

Do you ever get to see our 'X Factor' over in the states or Aus? A brilliant girl won this year called Alexandra Burke, I predict she'll be as big as Leona Lewis. I hope so!!

[Lisa]

daz, you just reminded me talking about Barry. I LOVE Gavin and Stacey

nic, sorry, but i cant stand alexandra. but then i cant stand most of this years constansents, they all seemed to about the sob story. it should be called the sob factor imo

[Jess03]

Cool thread

I'm a big fan of sitcoms, I love Blackadder, Red Dwarf, One Foot in the Grave, Fawlty Towers, The Good Life, Father Ted, Family Guy, The Simpsons etc etc..

I also love watching CSI, House, Stargate Atlantis, Lost, X Files, Desperate Housewives, Smallville etc..

I just watch alot of shows

[burgundyice]

I only seem to watch actual TV over Christmas! (this Christmas mainly quizzes like Celebrity Mastermind & the Krypton Factor lol), the rest of the time I'm watching dvds.
I'll go by what boxsets I have --- Most Haunted [although since the rumours that it's faked, I still watch it just for entertainment value], Fawlty Towers (not enough episodes but absolutely brilliant!!), Red Dwarf, Quantum Leap, Simpsons, American Dad, Columbo & Knight Rider Hubby is also in agreement with most of these too so it works well.
On my own I'm working my way through all the David Attenborough series

Just remembered, I'll be following the touring cars this year as well. Used to be a massive Formula one fan but am well disappointed in it now and stopped watching it.

I think F1 lost a lot of fans here when they had the tire issue at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway 2 (?) years ago and only a handful of drivers ran the race. The F1 group is interesting to have in town though! We're used to the crowd that mainly comes to party and drink for the Cart/IRL race (Indianapolis 500) and the good ol' boys for the Nascar race. Now, instead of the F1 race, they have a motorcycle one.

No we don't get the show X factor over here in the states but I have heard of it and I do like Leona Lewis a lot but haven't heard of the recent winner.

I forgot to mention that I love watching football too! Too bad my team was absolutely horrible this year and isn't in the playoffs but my boyfriend's team (ny giants) will still be around at least until next weekend so a little more to keep watching (and stitching while it's on).

[Midge]

I'm a fan of what my husband calls "Tripe" - Coronation Street, Holby City, Casualty, Midsomer Murders and Strictly Come Dancing.
Perfect for stitxching to as you don't really need to concentrate.

[Sarah Gixxer]

I like Neighbours and usually watch EastEnders as well - drives poor OH mad as he had to put up with both with his Mum for years on end, then he moves in with me and thinks he'll get some relief, but no such luck, hahaha.

I watch Casualty and Holby as well and also Spooks (OH likes this!) and Strictly, Dancing on Ice and X Factor. That's about it really. I mostly prefer to watch movies and have a vast stack of DVDs.
