Bobs, do you watch Robot Chicken too? My son got me watching that. It's pretty funny!

I've watched a few episodes. I liked the Star Wars sketches. And Calvin and Hobbes was priceless.

evilfrog - I love Curb Your Enthusiasm! I'm so glad that Larry David wanted to do an eighth season.

Try watching CSI Miami. It's very sunny and the lights are always on.

Well, the fall tv shows are here and I tend to regard them with a mixture of excitement and dread. There's just way too much to watch until I figure out what's good and what I can ignore. In a couple of weeks, I can whittle down the programming schedule to something a little more manageable.

So, I thought I'd give the following a try: 2 Broke Girls, Terra Nova, Pan Am, Grimm, New Girl, Suburgatory, Free Agents, Once Upon a Time and Whitney. Also, Hell On Wheels (AMC) might be worth taking a look at.

This is on top of: Modern Family, Community, The Mentalist, Dr. Who, South Park, Todd and the Book of Pure Evil, Walking Dead and Raising Hope.

Fortunately, Pan Am and Terra Nova might not be worth watching past the pilot episode.

I'll be watching my usual shows this fall, with no intentions of picking up any new viewing habits. These are my regulars:

Shows that have semi-traditional seasons. (These are also the only TV shows I never miss.):
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
The Walking Dead
The Ultimate Fighter

Shows that have non-traditional seasons:
Futurama (But, the "new" season just ended.)
Pawn Stars
South Park
American Pickers
Tosh.0

Shows without any sort of seasonal start:
The Daily Show
The Colbert Report

Plus any Twilight Zone marathons that SyFy runs. (I so hate that name!)

I was reminded last night about one additional show that I really enjoy, but forgot to mention: Chopped, on the Food Network. I find it extremely interesting and very entertaining, despite the fact that I almost never do any cooking at all.

Well, I dropped most of the shows that were new this fall. I kept Hell On Wheels and New Girl. But, I might end up dropping New Girl, anyway. Walking Dead is on hiatus until February and it looks like Todd and The Book of Pure Evil is on hiatus until after Christmas. So, tv watching has slowed rather dramatically.

Oh, and look what the Farrelly brothers are bringing to the big screen next year.



And they say Hollywood is running out of ideas.

My husband will be so happy. Ug. I'll be home drinking wine!

Plus any Twilight Zone marathons that SyFy runs. (I so hate that name!)

the Twilight Zone rules. Should be another marathon coming up over the holidays

[bobsyeruncle]

Yeah, I just picked up the first season of the Twilight Zone on Blu-Ray. And I really like the name. SyFy, on the other hand ... well somebody should have been shot. Oh, wait.....
