I don't get HBO (gotta save every penny for RED/VFS products), but my favorite show was cancelled about a month ago. Anyone here seen the show "Traveler"? It was on Wednesday night around at 10pm on ABC. I can't believe they cancelled it! Easily one of the best shows ever on network TV! There were supposed to be 16 shows for the season, but in the middle of shooting the seventh show they told the show creator that the eighth show would be the last. Which brings me to the real motivation as to why I started this thread:

I want everyone to please sign the petition to bring back "Traveler." It will only take a few seconds.

Here is a link the the show creator's blog:

I guess I would have to say my favorites show is "Burn Notice" on USA. "Psych" is not bad either, also on USA.

Other shows I like are PBS's "Nova", and "The Universe" on The History Channel.

The Wire.

It's the best show I've ever seen on TV. Nothing else even comes close (even Arrested Development, which is probably my favorite sitcom). The first three seasons of the Wire are out on DVD, and well worth renting. The fourth season is even better than the first three, and should be out on DVD either later this year, or earlier next year.

The Prisoner is a pretty solid show too. Haven't seen Traveler.
 
There's not much on right now that I'm excited about. I enjoy Entourage, but the show doesn't progress much. Caught an episode of Dexter for the first time on showtime and thought it was okay.

I'm looking forward to Heroes coming back. And some new shows like The Journeyman may have potential. I've been wanting to check out Doctor Who on SciFi, but not enough hours in the day. Have to wait until 2008 for Lost and BSG.

Recently I enjoyed Sharkman (in HD) on Discovery's Shark Week. Very cool.
 
I really like House M.D.

I'm not a big fan of hospital dramas such as E.R. etc but House is very watchable, great characters and really interesting stories. My brother bought the box set and I took it round to the parents and now they're both addicted. They're pissed because he's gone off to Equador and left series two in a lockup lol.
 
I'm going to have to say Doctor Who 2005, but it only airs 13 episodes a season and available only in the UK and Canada. I have to resort to nefarious means to acquire my weekly fix.

60 Minutes and Heroes are the only other TV shows I watch with regularity.

I'll watch House and Medium on occasion if I happen to stumble on them during the normal course of TV channel flipping.
 
Am I the only one who finds the show NUMB3RS kinda far-fetched. Can someone tell me in what purple world these characters would exist the way they do on that show. I mean, when that guy starts working those formulas...gimme a break. Anyway, I confess I watch it in spite of myself.
 
The Shield... 6 seasons, and it keeps getting better !

24 (except the last season). Too bad it's too late for them to use Reds on the next season...

House MD, great character...

The Wire is very good too.
 
The Unit, The Lot, House, Navy NCIS (Cote de Pablo fix) NASCAR, The Denny Crane Show (or whatever it's called)... oh, and Criminal Minds.

edit: watched one season of 24 and didn't watch after that. Too intense for too long. No resting place. Too much adrenaline kills.
 
I got rid of my TV a long time ago. Best thing I ever did!

Thanks to the internet, I watch less and less TV and found my IQ went up at least 10 points. Then again I've heard on HBO, " JOHN FROM CINCINNATI" is good. Before I cancelled showtime, I liked 'Weeds".
Since the Sopranos are done, I'll be cancelling HBO too. I've been downloading and sharing content from Vuze (best p2p bittorrent out there). Lots of free intro episodes from BBC too.

My favorite channel is streaming movies from Netflix.
 
Real Time with Bill Maher, Deadwood, 24, Weeds, Dexter, Entourage, Nip/Tuck, The Tudors, America's Got Talent, Dead Like Me, and I'd bet Californication when it airs later this month and of course the limited DCI series Planet Earth.

And WTF is John from Cincinnati and Big Love? HBO has lost its way.
 
Am I the only Battlestar fan on these forums?

Just watched the first season of Jericho last week. Nuts I'm hooked!

The Office... always a winner.

But... of course we all know those are all just warming up to the real top dog:
Doctor Who. I mean... you can't fight the doctor.

And this is the point I realize every one of my favorite shows is on summer sabbatical. NOOO!!!!!!

Jericho was actually cancelled by CBS after the first season. The only reason it was renewed for a second season is because of an online petition like the one in my first post. Also, CBS received over NINE TONS OF NUTS from fans!

Below is a message from CBS Entertainment.


June 6, 2007
To the Fans of Jericho:
Wow!
Over the past few weeks you have put forth an impressive and probably unprecedented display of passion in support of a prime time television series. You got our attention; your emails and collective voice have been heard.
As a result, CBS has ordered seven episodes of “Jericho” for mid-season next year.* In success, there is the potential for more. But, for there to be more “Jericho,” we will need more viewers.
A loyal and passionate community has clearly formed around the show.* But that community needs to grow.** It needs to grow on the CBS Television Network, as well as on the many digital platforms where we make the show available.
*
We will count on you to rally around the show, to recruit new viewers with the same grass-roots energy, intensity and volume you have displayed in recent weeks.
At this time, I cannot tell you the specific date or time period that “Jericho” will return to our schedule.* However, in the interim, we are working on several initiatives to help introduce the show to new audiences.* This includes re-broadcasting “Jericho” on CBS this summer, streaming episodes and clips from these episodes across the CBS Audience Network (online), releasing the first season DVD on September 25 and continuing the story of Jericho in the digital world until the new episodes return. We will let you know specifics when we have them so you can pass them on.
On behalf of everyone at CBS, thank you for expressing your support of “Jericho” in such an extraordinary manner.* Your protest was creative, sustained and very thoughtful and respectful in tone.* You made a difference.*
Sincerely,
Nina Tassler
President, CBS Entertainment

P.S.***** Please stop sending us nuts
