OK, in no particular order, the shows I CANNOT MISS are:
1) Mad Men 2) Gossip Girl (I am originally from New York City, so I like the show because I can see my home!) 3) The Big Bang Theory 4) How I Met Your Mother 5) America's Next Top Model 6) House 7) Law and Order 8) Law and Order: SVU 9) GLEEEEEEEEEEEE
What have you all been watching? Any other Gleeks out there? (If you can't tell, I am in full-blown procrastination mode.)

Not a Gleek.. sorry... My Shows: So You Think You Can Dance (the one I watch the most religiously) Fringe Taboo (NatGeo) House M.D. Naruto Shippuden (watch online) I have watched America's Next Top Model before.. is it on right now?
I don't really have time for anything else! Netflix takes up the rest of my tv watching time.

I know, a lot of my faves are on hiatus Not just True Blood, but Hung and The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency too. HBO makes the best shows!

Looks like House is the winner so far! hehe. I love that show (Aaliyah.. to lazy to switch chars).
I need to finish catching up. I watched the 2 hour special with him in the psych ward but I haven't watched any of the new stuff. I'm still only on season 4 I think via Netflix DVD. For some reason my DVr won't record House (maybe it knows I'm not caught up, haha).

Oh, Castle, I've been meaning to catch that but I never see it on!! I love Nathan Fillion so much ... he was THE best villain ever on Buffy, and I loved him as Mal in Firefly. Not to mention as Joey on One Life to Live back when I used to watch soaps lol.

Oh man, let's see.
I watch a ton of sports, especially all my Chicago teams. I've been watching Mad Men, I just finished the second season and I have, um, acquired the third season. I love the Amazing Race, but I haven't seen it this season. Another show to acquire. Dad and I are dying to go on that. I like So You Think You Can Dance too, but I'm behind. Top Chef and Project Runway. The Office, 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation, and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Those are the main ones, but I like Dexter and True Blood too. The books are better but what are you gonna do?

Really I'll watch damn near any sport. My faves are basketball, football, and tennis, but you can catch me watching horse racing, poker, or curling, LOL.

i can feel you on baseball... yuck!!
I watch the Super Bowl and basketball sometimes. But that is about all for me on sports. I will watch almost any sport in person, just not a big tv sports person. Though I didn't pay any attention to the last baseball game I attended... (us Coasties get cheep games, its pretty nice).
Books are always better... so far there is only one "show" that I have liked better than the "book." That is Full Metal Alchemist (anime) which I liked better than the Manga (comic). Mostly because I liked the Homunculus in the Anime so much! Both are good though.
The WORST movie from a book for me... Watchers, hands down! The book was so deep and emotional and they tried to turn it into a cheep hacker flick with a litlte bit of "sorry, here is a touchy part" at the end. Soooooo horrible! (Book by Dean Koontz)

OMG that was the worst adaptation ever! It was so bad that Koontz refused to allow any of his other books to be made into movies for a really long time. He finally agreed to do Phantoms because they let him have control over everything and kept agreeing to everything else he wanted. That was a pretty good adaptation.

Football is the only sport I really like to watch, but Kimberlee loves baseball so I end up watching a lot of Giants games too lol. As for adaptations, hands down the worst I have ever seen is Legend of the Seeker based on the Sword of Truth novels by Terry Goodkind. WTF is the point of making a show based on the books that has nothing in common with them except for the character's names? Ugh, I get angry just thinking about it lol. On a similar note, HBO is making a series out of the Song of Ice and Fire books by George R. R. Martin and I'm afraid to watch it lol. I will only consider it because HBO makes good tv /soapbox

ah, but anything good that HBO makes will soon be axed anyway. I gave up on pay movie channels after HBO axed Rome and before that Deadwood and before that Carnivale. They are as bad as Fox, get a good show, get a good following, don't promote it enough, and then kill it for no good reason.

Well, that will SUCK lol!! I was surprised that Fox gave Dollhouse a second season (which has been utterly amazing thus far) but perhaps they learned their lesson from Firefly??
