I won't list them all (I'm sure you guys will of picked up on a few by the threads I make)

But I was talking with Ben earlier about Scrapheap Challenge. Used to be shown each Sunday on Channel 4.

Basically they have a scrapyard in which to faf about in. Each week two teams are challenged to make a device, boat, tank, catapult, rocket car etc. Each team is compassed of mates/workmates of various backgrounds. Policing, mechanics, taxi drivers etc. Each team is also given an expert in the field of the device they're making that day.

Then they put them through the paces in a series of challenges.

I dunno if you can watch this internationally but give this a shot:

Oh yeah the main host is the android from Red Dwarf.

Quite a few. Bolded ones are my top favorites.

 

Off the air:

 

24 (season 1 to 5 were pure awesome, beyond that only season 7 was really good)

Arrested Development

Battlestar Galactica (was a bit shit in its second half, but the first two seasons were amazing)

Buffy/Angel

Firefly

Frasier

Lost

 

 

Still running:

 

30 Rock

American Dad (family guy has gone to hell and cleveland show is seriously retarded, but this one just keeps getting better and better)

Big Bang Theory

Breaking Bad (Best. Show. Ever. Period.)

Chuck

Dexter

Glee (SHUT UP!)

How I Met Your Mother

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

The Office (used to be great, merely good nowadays)

Parks And Recreation (season 2 was the funniest show on tv last year, in my opinion)

South Park

 

 

Stuff I used to watch but stopped for no good reason:

 

Burn Notice

Doctor Who (really need to catch up on this. last I watched I was about halfway through Tennant's last season :( )

Fringe (loved season 1 but for some reason haven't started season 2 yet)

House M.D.

 

 

Pretty sure I'm forgetting a bunch but this is all I can think of off the top of my head.

You know, I was actually surprised by American Dad too. Family Guy has been pretty rubbish for ages, so I wasn't expecting much (completely avoiding the Cleveland Show because of it) but I caught a few episodes of American Dad and it was actually pretty good. It had some half-decent 'stories' and twists as well as the funny stuff. Even the 'parody' episode I saw was quite good (whereas FG's tended to be awful).

So is Running Wilde any good?

 

Running Wilde is alright. It isn't the best show in the world, but the episode with Andy Richter was great. Some of the production people also worked on Arrested Development. It has the AD flavor, but it's no AD. I hope that it hits its groove next season.

 

I'm more than apprehensive about Fringe's move to Friday nights, but there's a part of me that wish they are the one's to buck the trend. They really hit their stride this season. bun-flower.gif
