So fellow H&E'rs what shows are you watching currently on television? With the Fall season coming upon us network television looks to have their new and returning shows to start airing soon.

Myself I am currently watching:

• American Gangster (BET)
• Entourage (HBO)
• Mad Men (AMC)
• Sports Center (ESPN)
• True Blood (HBO)
• Weeds (Showtime)

American Gangster has been an interesting view which my friend recommended and I like it since it's gritty and intriguing documentary episodes. Entourage gives off the cool awesome vibe which makes it a fun watch. Mad Men is in my opinion the best drama on television right now. I watch ESPN all the time but almost always catch Sports Center. True Blood has just been getting crazier and more bizarre as the season finale just looms of having a wild ending. Weeds seems to be the only show I might drop since it's pretty much turned into a Mexican soap opera with all the drama that's going on...

So what are you watching? Favorite television shows? Anything new you've been meaning to try? Something you'd like to discuss? General tv thread!

*Cough*

I've heard good things about Mad Men on the radio. But since torrents don't work at school, I have to stream.

I'm currently watching Top Gear from the beginning via streaming.

I'm currently watching The tutors.

Well, my bro 'acquired' seasons 1-5 of House, so occasionally, I watch that. History Channel's Clash of the Gods is a fun thing to watch when I DO manage to see it. CSI on CBS on Demand if they have the new episodes. Don't really watch a lot of TV in general.

[Rick (Bonta-kun)]

Well, I recently bought:

House seasons 1-4
NCIS 1-5
The Shield 1-5
Entourage 1-5
The Unit 1-2
The Sopranos 1-6 (complete series)
Deadwood 1-3 (complete series)
Smallville 1-6.

Of course, I have only watched NCIS so far.

At the moment I am watching House, Burn Notice and Leverage.

Lost!! ...about the only show i really keep up with, tho i randomly watch other things (when i remember to). The Office for one. I sorta want to start watching heroes online, but who knows when i will get around to that.

Oh, and scrubs was completely ruined for me, by the end >.<

[Derock]

Well personally, the only shows I'm watching are the following:

Smallville: This season one of the villans from the Superman comics will make his debut and I just found out that:

Spoilers: --Click here to view--

Last season's Jimmy Olsen died but here, his brother will take his name and become "the" Jimmy from we all know in the original story. Crazy stuff I tell you.

Supernatural: Ok... now this is just some crazy stuff because first the brothers dealt with demons, now they have to go head to head with the baddest of the bad... Lucifer...

90210 (2009) : apparently I started watching it, and I wanted to know what's going to happen next with Annie, Dixon, Naomi and the rest of the gang...

America's Next Top Model: I forgot what season we're on now, so more of that drama..

and more drama with: The Real Housewives of Atlanta (yes, don't ask... I want to see catfights)....

[True]

Oh, and scrubs was completely ruined for me, by the end >.<

Yeah the last few seasons weren't that great since they shifted heavily towards the drama. That whole thing with JD/Kim's baby brought down the enjoyment of the show for me. I missed the lighthearted and carefree humor of the earlier seasons. I thought the last episode was well done though especially with JD's vision. The new Scrubs with the interns doesn't interest me so I'm done with the series.

I'm going to check out Dexter which my friend recommended. Been watching How I Met Your Mother here and there as well and its not a bad sitcom but hasn't really impressed.

[Whirlpool-Maelstrom]

Getting ready to watch the Red Bull Air Race here on Portugal on weekend (Couldn't get a ticket and it's to far for me to go ) So I'll have to go with TV.

[Kamina-Yoshi]

I am going to watch Fringe's second season in September.

[Cupcake-chan]

I know what I'm gonna watch... GLEE!!!

Smallville --Click here to view--

At this point, I'm just watching it because of Clark and Lois, which have great actors doing a good job so far. The series has done alot of crappy turns, like Jimmy's retcon, and Lana's super kryptonite powers, and the death of Lex Luthor. All of these characters play a bigger role in Superman's life in the future, although I admit Lana is of lesser importance, she still appears. I loved how they did Doomsday though... the cg was awesome! I don't think another Zod can top that, but I'll keep with this until the drama llama can just have Clark and Lois get together and end the show. I've watched every single episode up to this point, and I own all the seasons on dvd, so I'll be damned if I don't finish it.

Supernatural --Click here to view--

The first (two) season(s) of Supernatural was beyond awesome. I watched the first two seasons more or less in one sitting, but I'm not that hyped anymore. The story is too cheesy really, but I enjoy the small pitstops where the previous glory of the first couple of seasons glimmer through the dark emo that is the newest season. I admit to being excited about how the hell (lol, did y'all see what I did there?) they're going to beat Satan himself, but I guess there's still time. I wouldn't mind to get Bela Talbot back though... hot!

How I Met Your Mother --Click here to view--

I just started this series recently, yet I'm almost done with the third season. I love the characters, and the whole show is just brilliant. Or as Barney would say it:

This show is legen... wait for it... DARY!

Big Bang Theory --Click here to view--

Sheldon! Nuff said!

Chuck --Click here to view--

Yes, I'm re-watching Chuck this fall, to be ready for the Chuck/Sarah fluff I demand from season 3. Why did they decide to torture the fans like they did? They better bring it!

Criminal Minds --Click here to view--

Psych power will always prevail! YOSHA!

I might add more series to the list, but I want to catch up on my animu soon as well. And with school, work and my job at the Student Society (Video Committee), I don't know how much time I'll have. Why couldn't they just add a couple of hours to the day?

[shadow_Uzumaki]

House, season premiere, right now. It's frightening how similar it is to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

[jim1982]

Well, besides my occasional adult swim anime binge I usually watch SyFy's programing

Warehouse 13
Eureka
Sanctuary

Plus some cartoon on NickToons mainly Wolverine and he X-men and Iron Man

[True]

Curb your Enthusiasm returns for its seventh season and once again the first episode was pure awesome. Larry David continues his ingenious work of providing great laughs and with the Seinfeld reunion it can only get better. This is the BEST sitcom on t.v. easily. Seriously it's a must watch even if you didn't like Seinfeld; just check out some of the clips on youtube.

Also I'm glad to see my other two favorite shows Mad Men and 30 Rock winning the Emmy's for best drama and comedy for the second straight year. It's a pity not many people watch Mad Men since it is a simply fantastic show with lots of depth, intrigue, and great universal critical acclaim. Unfortunately, most of America prefers reality shows so not surprised that intelligent shows such as Mad Men get passed by (yes I know my statement sounds elitist as most Mad Men fans are accused of being).

Fringe
Mad Men
Breaking Bad
Community - pilot was great; probably watch anything with Joel McHale

Mad Men is (un)fortunately on AMC, so by default it's audience isn't going to be as large as a hit show on ABC, FOX, etc. Same deal with another great show, Breaking Bad. Considering how quick network execs can be to cancel "intelligent shows" that lag in ratings (Pushing Daisies - curse you ABC and the writer's strike ), I'd be fine with Mad Men & Breaking Bad staying where they're at

Agreed.

[Vic Rattlehead]

Sons Of Anarchy is the only show i'm watching right now

EDIT: is it just me, or am i the only person that has noticed some parallels between Sons Of Anarchy and Naruto?
