The only one of those we were hooked on was 24, but the year the Nixony looking president married to Stockard Channing went from hapless to demonic seemingly randomly (and I read they only wrote 5 episodes ahead, so the actor didn't even know he was going to turn evil) I swore off. But for a while there, I was hooked.

@otin - Those reality shows are very popular.

@Lotta joy - Hee Hee. We love are furry ball of laughter. It sounds like you are stuck in the 50's. Maybe you entered THE TWILIGHT ZONE.

@Sue - We've watched ONCE UPON A TIME. I tried to get into it but keep thinking they were going to string it along for years like they did with LOST and I really don't want to go through that again. :)

I know you were a LOST fan, me too. You should be watching Once Upon a Time. See if they show the repeats this summer. A couple of the producers from LOST are involved with this show and they use "the numbers" you can catch them every now and then, last week the little kid had an Apollo bar in his backpack. I really liked the show, fav of the year!
I totally get Big Bang Theory, cuz I'm a geek and proud of it.

My husband and I often remark "what would we do without the boy". The 'boy' being our furchild entertaining us...or aggravating us. Television in Florida is the weirdest at its finest. LEAVE IT TO BEAVER? THE RIFLEMAN? RAWHIDE??? Really?

And yet we watch.

I'm pretty much a reality guy. Even though the shit is staged, it's still better than most of the written crap.

2012-05-13T15:10:52.944-05:00

@Lauren - Awesome. Hubby watched some of the true crime stuff on one of the cable channels. They are addicting.

@Belle - I think NCIS can pull it out. I'm hopeful. Ah, yes, Kiefer's new series. It's ok. I'm not hooked yet.

@Quirky - I need to check out Flashpoint. Go, Annie, Go!

@Rob-Bear - The news does not amuse. Sigh.

@Deb - Thanks! Oh my, Hurley was a great character! Doc Martin. Hum....I will look for that one. I know I would like the scenery. Hubby loves Deadliest Catch. I'll admit it can be captivating.

@Shrinky - Sorry about LOST. I guess you just had to be there. :) The Sopranos rock. I need to get caught up.

2012-05-13T12:18:20.430-05:00

There's a lot up here we don't get (yet) in the UK, but there's a few I recognize. I'm afraid "Lost" was rather lost on me, I never managed to get into it - but hell, I'm the one who's only recently discovered The Sopranos (ooooooooooooh, how I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that series - ahem, I'm up to series 6, episode 2 now)..

2012-05-13T11:22:29.932-05:00

Great post, Reffie.

Loved the early years of Lost. How can you not love Hurley?

Loved the first two seasons of 24. One particular episode where Jack was asking questions of a husband and wife. He asked the husband a question once, husband evaded, Jack shoots wife in the knee cap. Gotta love him!

I'm hooked on the British show Doc Martin. My son gave me a Roku for Christmas so via Netflix, I can catch each season in order on my ancient TV. It's about a prominent London surgeon who develops a fear of blood, moves to little village on the coast (which is just beautiful, Cornwall, I believe) and sets up practice there. He hates everyone, the village cast of characters is great, and if you go for dry British humor, it's a hoot! If anyone watches, pay attention to the dog.

I also watch Deadliest Catch a lot. Many episodes are much the same thing, tough and rumble guys fishing the Bering Sea in winter for crab, but for some reason I'm hooked.

I do catch Hot in Cleveland now and then, which can be pretty funny.

Nothing beats Everybody Loves Raymond reruns for tried and true comedy at its best. Last few seasons weren't the great, but the early ones are classics!

2012-05-13T08:02:46.705-05:00

I've never seen most of the shows you've mentioned. And most of the rest I've seen and forgotten.

About the only thing I watch with any regularity is the news. And it isn't great, either.

2012-05-13T04:24:12.906-05:00

Once upon a time a certain loon refused to watch a show called Law & Order. She was not going to follow the mindless crowd. No way.

Now she realized what she was missing and watches EVERY L&O marathon she can.

I have yet to learn to appreciate any NCIS show.

heh heh

And good call on Lost. And I really liked that show. So sad it was too loosely tied up at the end. Me no likey.

Oh, and I love the Covert Affairs show! Annie rocks!

Oh, and there's another show that is sort of L&O "lite." Flashpoint. Heard of it.

It's okay. I find myself looking to see if it's on. heh heh

Ahhh... the boob tube. It's not for milk. HA!

2012-05-12T22:21:51.581-05:00

We like NCIS, but I agree. Tony needs to grow up and marry Ziva. Big Bang is my favorite show on TV. My hubby was into Person of Interest so I watched this week. It was good, so I'm hooked. Loved the first season of 24 but lost interest after that. I also love Sutherland. I've heard his new show is good.

I'm a fan of Person of Interest, speaking of r...

2012-05-12T21:53:01.545-05:00

I'm a fan of Person of Interest, speaking of reincarnated Lost characters. For some reason, I'm drawn to Awake, even with its unbelievable premise, i.e., "I'm awake. I'm asleep," good shrink/bad shrink, orange/blue world.

I've only watched Hawaii Five O once, the other shows I haven't seen.

I like the true crime murder mysteries that used to air on Court TV.

Tell the truth...you DID clean up the floor of your closet just a tad, before taking that photo. Right? Please tell me I'm right.

Ahhhh..to be a dog would be so great! I can only fantasize about sleeping all day and occasionally licking myself! LOL

2012-04-25T21:31:21.436-05:00

@Constant - Thanks. We love our caves.

@Amy - Howdy King Cat! Greetings from one king to another. Your caves sound cool but I'm sure MINE are better.

@Sue - Hee Hee. Yeah, it has multiple personalities: voices, birds, squeaks.

@Ivy - My human might hurt herself chasing things around the room and that might interfere with my ability to eat. Good Luck finding your own cave.

2012-04-24T23:19:58.522-05:00

Hi Oreo! I wish I had a few hiding holes. The couch is sinking, so it may become a hiding hole when I least expect it.

Hmm..

You know they make an alarm that the humans have to chase around the room to turn off. It may save you some bruises.

2012-04-24T00:24:20.809-05:00

this is Lenny, Amy/Iwonderwye's male cat - aka., king of the house...I also have a cardboard cave my person put in front of my african toy bowl, before I shoved it behind the large plant, thus rendering me invisible to the living room inhabitants. My blanket cave is my favorite nest at night. It's covered in a horse design but I can pretend I am eating them. I don't care for a cave in the closet because I frequently get locked in there, which is most inconvenient when I need to eat or pee.

I love the cat cave. Ours have one just like it. ...

@Lauren - Thanks. I hear the female talking about hiding in a place called spa. Good Luck finding a hidey-hole. Hum....dandelions. Is that food?

@Rob-bear - Meow.

@Quirky - I'm glad you like red dot but you do know that it's all MINE!

2012-04-21T11:22:59.106-05:00

Ha! Oreo and I have a lot in common. I, too, enjoy getting lost in the "red dot." AND I'm always looking for humans to "food me" too!

2012-04-21T10:02:20.059-05:00

Let's face it, Oreo. You're all cat. Just a cat, mind you, but all cat. And down-right annoying. I'm surprised Reffie puts up with you, and evil twin.

2012-04-20T21:09:54.576-05:00

Welcome back, Oreo. We avatar humans missed your persistent torture of the virtual beings that food you. I want a secret place to hide from my two earthbound mutts that hound me.

Btw, was your human able to thwart the dandelion menace? They're attacking the north east.
