Whale Wars

Snipped from Wikipedia:
Whale Wars is a one-hour weekly American documentary-style reality television series that premiered on November 7, 2008 on the Animal Planet cable channel. The program follows Paul Watson, founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, as he and his crew aboard the MV Steve Irwin attempt to deter Japanese ships that hunt whales off the coast of Antarctica.

Lost! That is the only one I'm really obsessed with.

I watch a few others occasionally. The Discovery Channel or History channel is usually on at my house, so we like Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, and the like. I really enjoyed the show Ghost Lab too. I kinda got bored with Monster Quest, cause they never find anything! :P

Also, I always watch Avalanche games. :) Hockey is really the only sport I pay much attention to.

Um... there's a bunch of old shows I used to watch too. Firefly = best cancelled show ever. Watched the first season of The Sarah Connor Chronicles, used to watch House and Bones... Yeah, don't really watch too many shows regularly anymore.

Oh God, How could I forget lost.
Only... 13 days till the new seasons, which is going to be... interesting to say the least.

edit: I like the show "supernatural" too. And from lost the dude that played jacob in the last season, plays lucifer, he also played paul in dexter. Cool guy.

BSG and 30 Rock are two of my current favorite shows. BSG had one of the best stories ever. 30 Rock is just plain funny. It's even worse when you can tag many of the characters as someone you know.

And as far as Firefly. Best character is Wash.

Yeah, I've seen alot of TV shows. But the plot of BSG just blew my mind, so many twists and turns and epicness. I think I've watched it 3 times now, and want to watch it again.

Love the BSG love in here.

I was crazy about that show. The ending, for me, left a little to be desired, but there is an obvious totally kickass spinoff that _could_ be done, but probably won't. For those rooting for the cylon side the whole time you probably know what I am talking about.... :P

Have the BSG fans here seen 'The Plan' yet? It was a really neat look at the basically the first season or so of the show (maybe more) from they cylon perspective. It was very cool. But if you aren't familiar with the show it could seem a little disjointed.

Whale wars is a really cool show too.

How it's made anyone?
No?
How about Antiques Roadshow?
Still no?

I like How it's made. I never though I'd be fascinated by camera lenses but I was...


And Flight of the Concords is funny. I didn't even think of it.

I have to ask though,

Anyone got any shows they watch that they usually don't admit to?

I myself...confess to watching,...


Desperate Housewives of all things....

I have seen the plan. I thought it was really well done.
They did reuse alot of scenes, but they reuse it in
a way that its a completely new experience.
