How Clean is your house?
... usually don't watch real tv shows but that one makes me realise that we don't live in a dump Grin

LazyTown
... awful programme but keeps kids out of my legs for 30 mins to get on with stuff Grin

Cold Case, CSI, Bones and the like
... in my exhausted state a bit of gore & violence and intrigue is all I can handle Grin

Shipwrecked - to remind me my days relaxing on a sunny beach without children throwing sand at me are over.

Lost - need I say anymore Grin

DSW-the American pimping or the Uk one because I want to thump Westwood.

CSI-all versions as it satisfies my curiosity over forensics and the human body.
How clean is your house as I am determined to shame my uncle into going on it!!

Dh and I love cult tv.

South Park, Buffy and Angel, The Osbornes, Red Dwarf.... we love the lot.

Also like Friends (although we've both gone off it now) and the OC. We really get into series of shows.

desperateSCOUSEwife · 25/04/2006 13:41

spursmum the american pimp my ride
the english one is too cheap imo
and a load of crap lol

Flum · 25/04/2006 13:43

HOLBY CITY

not really sure why, i just love it. It is the only thing i get really upset if I miss.

Love it when at least 3 times per show they have to shout ' He's tacky cardic' 9whatever the f that is and 'Get the crash team' ... he dropped his cup of tea.

Sky + hopefully ensures that will never happen.

spursmum · 25/04/2006 13:44

Oh Thank god someone else thinks that about PMRUKGrin
What I don't get is why the Americans lurve Westwood? He is huge over the pond!
But where did Q go? And 2shay?
My favourite episode was when they found the rat in the car!! ROFLGrin

These days ER (always been a fan, love the life and death-ness of it all) The Apprentice (very entertaining) also started watching and now hooked on House (really interesting how they diagnose rare illnesses and find the Hugh Laurie character very refreshingly blunt).

I love Pimp my Ride, but I am always amazed at the wrecks that are allowed on the road in the US pre-pimping.

TinyGang · 25/04/2006 16:52

The Apprentice - 'You're a LIGHTWEIGHT!' is all dh and I say to each other these daysGrin

Strangely I like Holby City too. I don't usually like hospital things much, but have got into Holby and the characters.

Comedy - the League of Gentlemen was a big fave of mine. Used to listen to it on the radio and it went over to TV beautifully. Also like Little Britain and Red Dwarf which is old now but we're word perfect on it here. And Father Ted too.

gscrym · 25/04/2006 16:54

House and Greys Anatomy - love medical things and Hugh Laurie is genius as House.

Never Mind The Buzzcocks - I'm in knots whenever I watch this.

gscrym · 25/04/2006 16:56

I have to laugh at Tim Westwood on PMRUK. I bet he goews home at night and puts on a nice cardie and some slippers. He looks like he's in his 40's, trying to be cool with the kids.

faeriemum · 25/04/2006 17:22

prison break - omg pure talent! and rugged handsome-ness!

thirtysomething · 29/04/2006 19:01

West Wing, House, ER, Grey's Anatomy, loved 6ft under and Ally McBeal (why did they have to axe them?) and also like Desperate Housewives for pure escapism. Don't like many British programmes it seems, except the usual stuff you like Holby, corrie St, and quirkier things like No angels and maybe Green Wing a bit. Can't stand Reality stuff. docusoaps or gardening!

Americas Next top model
the back biting and bitchiness is great Grin

Earlybird · 29/04/2006 20:39

Love "My Name is Earl" because it's so funny, but keep forgetting to watch it!

arfy · 29/04/2006 20:41

I was just coming on to say 'America's Next Top Model' - gloriously addictive, bitchy and over the top. I also love the photo shoots, find that fascinating.

Apart from that, CSI - forensic stuff is fascinating and I do like waiting to see if Grissom & Sara and Catherine & Warrick will ever get it together (also you do get the odd flash of Nick's torso which makes it all worthwhil) Like CSI Miami as well because it's sooo OTT.

and ER has always been fab - drama, totty, emotion, ever-changing stories etc.

Top Gear - I'm not even that interested in cars but Top Gear is just really funny. And I have lewd dreams about all the presenters - which is a bit disturbing actually

expatinscotland · 29/04/2006 20:44

Colin and Justin - they're so camp I can't resist.

ER

Desperate Housewives

My Name Is Earl
