Thread: What shows are you/were you addicted to???

I'm addicted to absolutely no show. I don't even own a TV. I haven't since I moved out of my parents' house 3 years ago.

Favorite shows from back when I couldn't miss them were pretty much only the Star Trek ones and Dragonball Z when it first came on Cartoon Network.

Hehehe I know, I don't watch anything now. It's something you stop missing if you don't have it. Sort of like soda, I think.

Sorry, Mes. I editted my reply while you were posting.

Anyway, the day I moved out, I didn't miss it and I haven't missed it a single day since. Before I moved out, the only shows I watched were Spongebob when my brothers watched it and Smallville since it was like a whole family thing to watch each episode. Oh yeah, and X-Files was good.

Dexter
The series is based on the novel Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay.
Only thing worthy since Sopranos ended.

There are altogether too many in my case. Monday nights I have Chuck, Heroes, and Journeyman, which I just finished watching. Tuesday nights there's NCIS, Wednesday night is Bionic Woman, and quite possibly Pushing Up Daisies, which though I haven't seen yet, I hear is great. Thursday night has Smallville, which I must not miss.

I like to catch Scrubs, Family Guy, and Survivorman reruns if I can, too. And Psych, which comes on USA, I'm going to have to start watching online, since we downgraded our satellite TV and no longer get USA.

I don't watch many shows addictively. I like to watch a few differen't channels depending on whats on. Mainly discovery channel, A&E, AMC, history channel, MSNBC, or spike tv. I like futurama and family guy too... I only have basic cable in my room so I don't get the fancy stuff.

This hour has 22 minutes and the Rick Mercer report, two canadian political satires that have me in stitches every time I watch them. I get really cranky if I miss them... I used to watch every single episode of Who's line is it anyway (the american version) back when it used to air on normal channels, that show was god's theatre. Also, anytime the Montreal Canadians or Allouettes are playing, you can bet the TV will be tuned to the sports channel.

Infinity, never heard of that! Wait it's different from "Dexter's Laboratory" or whatever isn't it?

MoS, holy crap that's a lot. Makes me miss my TVs. I liked the commercial breaks too because I could get up and get something to munch on.

Michael omg I love spike tv!! I can never remember what channel it's on though, so I have to stumble on it by accident.

Sparty warty, whose line!!! I loooove that show, especially Colin and Ryan hehehe.

holy shit.. dexter's laboratory... good times. like the duels bewteen dexter and that other guy with the annoying voice.... priceless.

OMG, don't keep talking about it! I'm afraid I'll collapse in a whirlwind of quotes and anecdotes from that show ...

LOSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!








and a little bit of Heroes

Heroes has my heart.

Lost had my heart for a while, but, I dunno, it just kinda lost the Alice in Wonderland feeling, a little while ago.

I love Who's Line, though. It's awesome to see comedians improv like that. Very impressive.

And Dexter's lab! HAHA Hell yeah. It's been a long time since I've seen that, but it was always one of the best on Cartoon Network. That mock-German accent is hilarious.

Yes, Dexter's Lab was good.

Here, I'll throw something awesome out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fJXOYYyuvg

SMALLVILLE!!!! I love having a DVR!! I dont have to cancel ANYTHING

*Petition to bring back 90s Nickelodeon!*

I am addicted to Heroes. I mean, I bought a freaking sword from the show!

I used to be addicted to 24, until they put it at the same time as Heroes. I still love it, though. Jack Bauer > you. As for other shows, I'm addicted to Naruto and Bleach. I'm almost finished with Trigun.

I also work in the evenings and there are some channels I don't have, so I end up watching most/all of my shows on the computer. It's okay, but it always has better quality on the TV. Meh.

Hmmm, Lets see here:
================
*SG-1 (still only on season 6... don't ask)
*X-files (Sad that its over)
*Scrubs (still waiting for season 6 down here damit!)
*IT Crowd (only two seasons so far but loving it)
*The Simpsons (why has no one mentioned this yet?)
*Stark Raving Mad (at least it would've been if they hadn't bloody cancelled it)

And next month DSTV gets an anime channel so heavens knows how that will affect my TV addiction.

Faja, you like lost? Really? Never would have guessed....

O, hahahaha, so that was a German accent?? Whodda thought.

Emerald, IT Crowd, YES!!!! And I think no one's mentioned the simpsons simply because it's like ALWAYS on. It's something you watch when your favorite show isn't on.

Okay here goes:

- Lost
- Scrubs
- Heroes (Started watching this weekend, upto episode 17!!!)
- Simpsons
- Southpark
- Peep Show

On a side note Spongebob Squarepants is AWESOME

I think thats about it, they are all just DVD watching or re-runs as really don't have the time to get addicted to scheduled TV programs.

um..not many actually...Heroes being the main one, and Coronation Street!!! (it's an English soap set in Manchester for those of you not in England).

If i'm not in the house, my boyfriend HAS to tape those shows, or i get very grumpy!

I gotta add Smallvillie to the list. It's not quite an addiction, but I like to catch it when I can. That and Supernatural.

Spongebob!!! I love that show, Adam. It makes me happy. Have they stopped making new episodes a while ago?

Holy crap, so many people watch Heroes! I've never seen it.. I feel like I'm missing out now. What channel is it on and what day?

I never got all that in to Smallville... I guess the guy wasn't cute enough for me.

Heroes = the greatest show on television, as of now.

And it's on NBC, monday nights at 9:00 EST.

....and Spongebob is the devil. I urge any parent not to let their kid get hooked on that shit. I know parents used to say that "tv rots your brain," back when we were all kids, but now, it's actually true.

To adults, it's just funny, but that's because we are old enough not to let something that influential turn is into mindless idiots.

Omg hahaha. As long as it doesn't rot an adult's brain then I'm good to go.

And thanks for the Heroes info!!
