Okay I am a big television nerd (so the necklace I got from Suga*n*Spice in the madeit pay it forward swap is perfect!)

However you might be surprised to learn that since shifting into this new house 2 months ago we have been without conventional television due to no aeriel plug. Sure we need to get rabbit ears, but I'm in now hurry and neither is Gareth. We watch a lot of films via webflicks (join, it is good) and download shows. I have also become a (hides face in shame) Star Trek fan. I always loathed it, but I've been watching Voyager and I'm enjoying it a lot. I love the female characters (Cptn Janeway, B'Lanna Torres and my very favourite character 7 of 9). Anyway what are some other shows you love. Here is my list of favourites:

-Lost
-Survivor
-The Amazing Race
-Arrested Development
-Spicks and Specks (I miss TV for this)
-Project Runway
-The Office US Version (This makes me SO happy)
-30 Rock (I have a big crush on Tina Fey, I think if I met her I would giggle and not say anything and look at my feet)

There is more, but these are the ones I get excited about right now. What are your favourite shows?

I love So You Think You Can Dance... that's pretty much the only show on TV that I'm currently addicted to. I also watch a show on the Greek channel called Erotas... it's a Greek soapie *shame*

In the past I've been addicted to shows like The OC, Dawson's Creek, Love My Way, Secret Life of Us and of course Australian Idol and Big Brother *shame again*

Lately, So You Think You Can Dance is way up on my list too. I got into it because of last year's US version (although I wanted Danny to win!). Reality TV shows can be quite a guilty pleasure. I got hooked onto Idol and America's Next Top Model too.
I'm also loving the reruns of Friends and Gilmore Girls. I'm a Gilmore Girls fanatic. I have 5 seasons on DVD and a lot of my crafts have been created while watching back to back episodes of the show.
My brother and I religiously download episodes of Smallville and the Amazing Race. We used to download Veronica Mars too... but then the show got cancelled *sigh* :(

I love the idea of shows like Idol and Dance, but I find the format far far too slow for me. The drag everything out, particularly the Australian versions.

Love My Way is also one of the best Australian shows in such a long time. I'm looking forward to Season Three coming out on Webflicks.

My only must see show is Postcards! that's on of the only times I can get a look in on the tv anyway! I have 3 males in this house who are obsessed with football, basketball and wrestling. Thanks to foxtel!

Ahh Wrestling!!! Wrestling now is so poo...my mum used to watch it about 15yrs when it was still poo, but not so much poo.

I dont get to watch much tv at all. But I like Dexter (have season 1 on dvd), have not seen any of season 2 because I cant get a look in at the tele when its on. I am also really enjoying Heroes, but once again, I only get to watch every second episode on sci fi.

Other than that I watch little snippets, 15 mins until someone kicks me off, of things on how to channel, sci fi channel, or doco channels. Martha's cookie week was good, I pretty much saw her make the cookie of the day then got kicked off the tele. Ohh that reminds me, the cocoa box had a hedgehog slice recipe on it! And I have to use the old bananas to make a banana bread.

Things I have to tape if I'm not at home to watch them:

Doc Martin (favourite show at the moment!)
Getaway
The Amazing Race (when it's on)

Also I have become a bit hooked on watching Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares...I first saw it a few weeks ago and thought, "My god, this swearing is just ridiculous" :eek: , but since then it hasn't been as bad...maybe I just caught a particularly bad episode!!

I will also confess to watching Neighbours :o ...it's not that bad a sin, is it?!?!
