TV Show Highlights

  • Glee – Especially the music numbers.
  • Dollhouse – Can’t wait to see the end, even though Joss Wheadon didn’t get what he was initially aiming for, and I’m sad that it’s ending.
  • Mad Men – Last season finale was superb, eagerly awaiting next season.
  • Stargate Universe – Really enjoying being back in the SG world.
  • Castle – Standard police procedural, like the lead male actor.
  • The Unit – Cancelled after it’s 4th season. Wish it weren’t so.
  • Bones – Police procedural, like the geekiness.
  • Numbers – Police procedural, like the geekiness.
  • Top Gear – Production values produces beauty incarnate, also like the comedy.
  • Scrubs – Don’t know if I like the new season or not.
  • Big Bang Theory – Really Funny.
  • Chuck – This is the thing I’m really eager to see come back.
  • Paradox – Unsure so far.
  • Better off Ted – New season released recently, hope it’s as good as the last one.
  • Grey’s Anatomy – Enjoyed it, feel much emotion from the show.
  • X-Factor – My Chinese students really enjoy it. Find it quite funny how often Jedward is mentioned in the news.
  • Sanctuary – Watching mainly for all the green screen stuff and of course the lovely Amanda Tapping.
  • Family Guy, American Dad, The Cleveland Show – Useful for a light 20 minutes, Seth Green’s a funny guy, but the shows are not all that valuable to me. Family Guy especially good because of the music.
  • Flash Forward – Deals with interesting philosophical points about fate and destiny while also taking on a spy mystery thing. Quite good.
  • Flash Point – Realism is good, ethical and emotional problems also feel very real. More arching between episodes would make it better in my eyes.
  • Fringe – Geeky stuff and J J Abrams mystery makes this an intriguing show.
  • House – What can I say – Hugh Laurie, Superb. Great Acting, good series continuity and interesting episodic plots.
  • Heroes – Stopped watching. Plot too thick and twisty, not all that interesting.
  • Last Chance to See – Watching cause of Stephen Fry, light entertainment.
  • Mythbusters – Appeals to geekiness and very accessible and not that much attention required to watch and enjoy it.
  • NCIS & NCIS LA – Good Police Procedural, better than JAG the show from which it was launched
