I am pretty much into columbo episodes right now. don't ask me why. When I was young my parents watched it and I though it was boring, but now I just love it. watching 'Murder by the book' right now. It stars that bloke from the clint eastwood film where clint leaves him to die in the desert

anyone else have this

    columbo's got one eye... that makes him awesome
    i used to watch some religiously... the oddest one was the original Fugitive series that came on AMC (i think) at 5pm everyday. that was a great show. i was addicted to heroes until last season, so hopefully i'll become an addict again soon.
    oh the office, both versions... wicked great as well as EXTRAS, but he stopped making that one too... it was a hilarious short series

    I totally love the wire. By far my favorite show ever. Though it has ruined crime shows for me. Now the other shows like CSI, bones, etc. seem so cheesy in comparison. I love that the wire tries to stay pretty realistic when it comes to the actual detective work.

    Right now I'm hooked on Sons of Anarchy

    staying away from "the wire" here to not get hooked again.

    also, the spiral series (engrenages) i found cool and something quite different for a crime investigation series - i doubt you can see someone eating his own shit in CSI? ;)

    The Wire
    Deadwood
    Sopranos
    The Shield
    Trailer Park Boys

    Don't watch any of the above, because you will be FORCED to watch atleast 4 episodes at a time and your life will disappear.

    I watch so many currently running shows I wouldn't dare to list them... Those are only weekly though, or off-season.

    What I'm watching consistently right now is Star Trek TNG.

    I like to watch really long series while I work. I watched 9 seasons of the X-files in only a couple months as I would sit and work for hours at a time with it running beside me. I dunno, I feel like I am being more productive watching tv shows and getting work done. I can work for longer stretches doing both at once. Maybe I'm just weird. Buffy got me through a couple of models too. :)

    I recently watched thru seasons 1 thru 7 (all on Netflix instant play) of Law and Order: SVU. 22 episodes per season.... pretty sad I watched that much, but it was so easy to be like 'oh just one more episode' before goin to sleep.

    I love Rescue Me, they just ended the season with a huge cliffhanger, who knows when the new season will be...

    Lol,

    Totally, last boxing day amazon had this amazing deal on the box set of all the wire, I bought like 4 of them to give out to people.

    And yeah stuff I could kind of laugh at before like CSI is just cringe worthy now.

    Edit: @frump: Have you see those re-edits of TNG on Youtube? It was probably one of the best things I've seen in a long time, they are pretty masterful.

    I suppose its the watching back to back episodes that is fun. I just love the way columbo, no matter what the murderer says to him, he always handles it the same way.
    He is the little guy, who makes good. can't get enough of it.

    never really got in to lost, they seem to just keep on spinning it out for the sake of it.
    The wire is pretty good though, pretty gritty drama

    I just finished season 3 last night. If each story element in Lost was a drug, then the series would be a cocktail. Like while trying to quit heroin, they suddenly introduce crack - while smoking cigarettes the whole time.

    However unlike you, I don't have the kind of strength to resist the power of Lost. C'mon after the closing scene of the last episode?? How can you NOT want to find out what happens?!?!

    Me and the wife are counting the days until the final season of Lost is on - after a shaky season 4, I think they got back on track with season 5.

    Also, is anyone else pissed that Invasion got canceled? Yeah, it was years ago, but it was a cracking show and deserved at least a second season. They left it on such a cliffhanger, too, which didn't help.

    I disagree with The Wire. I'm halfway through s5, and am just forcing myself to finish it off. It's been a struggle, but I've stuck with it just because of all the hype.

    Lately I've been spending all my TV time on the Satellite of Love watching bad old movies.

    It must be nice to live in a country where it's actually worth while having a TV aerial.
