I gotta start watching Lost before it gets to long to get ;) .
"Will try 24 one of these days as well - but there`s just so bloody much of it." Tell me about it ! Trust me if you watch season 4's [current] first episode you will be brain washed, its that good.
Blind Justice looks lke its going to be good with only 2 chapters [loved chapter 1's "If you take this gun its yours"] ^_- .

*simpsons - i own seasons 1-5 on dvd and any other one they release subsequently.
*friends - my wife likes this one, its a trade i watch friends with her, she watches simpsons with me. we own seasons 3-5 on dvd.
i don't watch much other t.v. at all except when i go to a friends house or whatever. i have an aversion to network and cable tv. shows have gone so downhill lately, or maybe my taste has gone uphill? :-k

Wait till the end of the first season, then you`ll get a nice 7gig bittorrent of the whole thing no problem. ;)
You`re not the first person to try and get me to watch 24 - I swear I will buy the dvd set one day. :)
Blind Justice has surprised me - I only watched it because Lost was on a break. I expected it to be the cheesiest programme ever - but it is actually really really well written and acted. Give me more. :)

Shows like Battlestar Galactica and Lost have rekindled my faith in TV - at least there are some execs and producers out there that get it. :)

I might as well hit tvtorrents.ws rather than waiting for the whole thing. How many chapters/months left for it to finish ?
According to tvtome, at least 13 chapters will be televised for Blind Justice.

Seinfeld, Family Guy, Survivor, news, and a lot of sports (football, basketball, boxing and UFC fights). I also occasionally watch the Bounty Hunter, Cops, the History Channel, and Everyday Italian on Food Network (just to see Giada De Laurentiis).

I watch very little tv, but i make sure i get these shows.
1. House - i have gotten so addicted to this show. It's so great
2. CSI: - the only thing i hate is how grissom is such a 'bad ***' character now, i was happy with the nerd grissom
3. CSI:NY - is actually quite good, much better then Miami.
4. Simpsons - 'nuff said... even though it sucks now, it's still one of the funniest shows on tv.
5. Mythbusters - used to be a great show, they seem to be slacking now.
6. Quite a bit on food network, no favorite shows... i just like the network.
7. History Channel... good stuff... very few bad shows.
8. if i think about it... Family guy, futurama on TBS/Adult Swim.
9. Jeopardy... i've gotta get it... i have watched it everyday for at least 7 years or so.
i'm a loser :-P

* Six Nations Rugby (even when England aren't doing so well!)
* CSI (the "Las Vegas" original as it's by far the best of the lot IMHO).
* Two Pints of Lager and a packet of crisps (a comedy series about 20 somethings living in northern england).
* Channel 4 news, best news reporting on British TV, again IMHO
... apart from that not much else.
Cheers

CSI, Scrubs, CSI, Family Guy, CSI, Futurama, CSI, Daily Show with Jon Stewart, CSI, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, CSI, Late Night With Conan O'Brien, CSI, occasionaly some discovery channel stuff like Mythbusters.
OH! Almost forgot. CSI.
Seriously. That show freakin' ROCKS. None of those crappy spinoffs (they're ok, but they're nowhere near as good).

Whooooo are you, who? who? who? who?
Numb3rs is a good more or less spin off . On this one at least us the not CSInvestigator's can say "Yeah thats true I remember that in class" when the kid solves something, other than going "waaaao" everytime McGyver -or whatever the name of the guy from CSI las vegas- is . :-P
[ not flaming against csi , just pointing a few good things about numb3rs ]

Cartoons rock.
1) Spongebob Squarepants (a little old for it... but hey, who has to grow up?)
2) Family Guy
3) Rugrats All Grown Up
4) Aqua Teen Hunger Force
5) MadTV
6) Ed, Edd, & Eddy (favorite show)
Coincidentally, my favorite of those is Ed, Edd, & Eddy.... and my name is Edward. Funny stuff.

I adore Family Guy, and Aqua Teen, but Spongebob, Rugrats, most of MadTV, and Ed, Edd, etc, kinda get on my nerves. It's all about your sense of humor though. I'm not knocking those shows at all, I just think it's interesting how one person's favorites can be another's least favorites.

If we're going into cartoons Simpsons are a must. Family Guy is also good. Malcom in the Middle also (I know it's not a cartoon but it just feels like one :D). Last but not least, Ninjai (http://www.ninjai.com) is the bomb!

Ok my turn fellas, real football all the way baby not soccer. What is the origin of such an ugly name anyway? It isn’t soccer but football. 99% plays with feet unlike the other one.
There is the EPL, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, … and when I can’t catch these on DirecTV bit torrent. Bless the guy in Seattle. I wonder how it got such an idea. And the way totem shows matches, hm! hm! hm!
