Let's Talk TV!

[merryrissmas]

What are your favorite shows right now, S16?

My "serious" shows: The Americans, Call the Midwife (I can't wait for both of those to start again), and I just started watching Mercy Street (PBS). I also like Frontline, American Experience, & Independent Lens (we watch A LOT of PBS). 

My comedy shows: Drunk History, Modern Family, Blackish, SNL.

My "guilty pleasure" shows: Married at First Sight (so, so bad!), Newlyweds: the First Year, and I was completely addicted to 90 Day Fiance when it was on (I wonder whether they are bringing that trainwreck back for more seasons).

I probably watch too much TV.

[pismoduo]

Ah, TV. I love TV.

"Serious" shows: The Blacklist, The Americans (though I'm a full season behind), X-Files, Shameless (the US version)

I don't watch a ton of comedies, but I do love Modern Family.

We also watch a ton of Discovery Channel shows: Gold Rush, Deadliest Catch, Yukon Men. And really, anything that has gold mining in it, H is obsessed with.

No cable for us so it's all netflix here.

We are watching Person of Interest right now and are really into it. I love how complex the characters are. It's hard to label anyone as good or bad.

I also just started Jane the Virgin which is amusing.

And of course The Office is constantly on repeat.

[kerbear]

Right now we're making our way through Narcos on Netflix

We watch Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Naked and Afraid, House of Cards, OITNB, Fear The Walking Dead

ETA: Downton. OMG how did I forget Downton?

[LadyNymeria]

Game of Thrones!!!

Also Supernatural, Bones, Law & Order: SVU, The Big Bang Theory, Walking Dead, and This Old House. Was watching Hell's Kitchen but they moved it to 9pm on Wednesdays which is when Supernatural & L&O: SVU are on and I can't DVR/watch 3 shows at once with our cable box. Hell's Kitchen easily lost the battle between the 3 shows.

The only reality show I watch is So You Think You Can Dance. Love it!

I have a congenital defect, wherein I have an inability to sit and watch anything. As such, all my tv viewing is lighthearted and does not require having seen any prior episodes to know what's going on. I love Drunk History! Also Impractical Jokers, Vanderpump Rules, and anything Real Housewives. I'm loving new Erica on Beverly Hills. I also like cooking shows like Chopped, Top Chef, and Cutthroat Kitchen.

Oh I love those cooking shows!

[cassey910]

I watch Arrow, The Flash, The 100, The Bachelor, and The Biggest Loser.

[lexisophie55]

The Bachelor is all I can keep up with right now.

We only have antenna tv and no internet- so we are VERY limited. I'm jealous of everyone!

[cbowl]

I basically watch all terrible TV. Anything on Bravo - including all real housewives, vanderpump, newlywed, top chef etc etc etc. Andy Cohen is like my god

I also watch Law and Order SVU, Amazing Race, The Bachelor...hmmm I can't even think of anything else but I watch a lot of tv.

[LadyNymeria]

I should have included Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune in my list. I watch those almost daily.

Serious shows: The Walking Dead (can't wait for it to come back this Sunday!!!), The Affair, Homeland, Fringe, Law and Order: SVU (but only the Stabler episodes - that show is dead to me since Stabler left), Game of Thrones

Comedies: DH and I are always watching some episode of Parks and Rec or The Office on Netflix. I loooove those shows so much. Modern Family and Telenovela are also two shows I really enjoy that are actually airing now.

Rumor has it they're going to try to bring him back for the finale whenever the show ends. I still watch but I miss Stabler too. He was always my favorite.

OMG what?!  That would be SO amazing!!  I ship Olivia and Elliot for life.

Weirdos here - we don't watch TV! I do often feel I'm blanking on pop culture references in conversation as a result!

[bennikki]

Downton, Call the Midwife, Modern Family, Alaska the Last Frontier, Sherlock, Chopped, Jane the Virgin, How to Get Away With Murder, Pretty Little Liars, and Scandal. The last two I got hooked on while binge watching on Netflix whilst nursing my youngest. I also watch a lot of BBC series on Netflix, like Broadchurch, Luther, Orphan Black, and Bletchley Circle. The hubs and I just started watching The Man in the High Castle on Prime. It sounds like I watch a ton of TV, but we really only watch maybe an episode an evening.

Yes! I want to go on Wheel of Fortune so bad! DS loves Jeopardy. It's so weird bc he's 1, but whatever.

I love Kimmy Schmidt so much. Anytime I see the name of the show the damn theme song gets stuck in my head.

That song is ridiculously catchy I'm excited for season 2. April 15th!

[theotherjacobsons]

GOT, OITNB, TWD, X-Files.

Guilty pleasures: too many to mention, but right now I am so excited about the new season of Mob Wives.
