The only one I haven't watched is Meerkat Manor. I'll have to check that out.

Yeah its pretty interesting. I mean, if you're into that sort of thing. Some people are pretty bored with reality shows about animals, but I find that one to be very well put together and very interesting.

Meerkat is well done. It's sad though to think that they "Hollywoodize" it. But it works on that level. On to my list (in no particular order:

M*A*S*H*
Lost
24 - kinda spent now though, was good before
Conan O'Brien
King of Queens

I wish I could get into 24--just missing a single episode can make the whole show not make any sense. It always seemed like a good show though.

I don't have enough patience for Lost. Not enough resolve on that show.... but it is well done.

I need to check out King of Queens.

I don't know that you'd like King of Queens. I'm not even sure why I like it. Oh, I need to add News Radio to my list. Esp. the Phil Hartman years. "The real deal with Bill McNeal."

I never liked Seinfeld much, but that's only because I didn't like the Seinfeld character. When I watch it and try to ignore his character, I like the show. To me, from the little clips I've watched of King of Queens, it seems to have similar humor. I wonder if it has some of the same writers...

NEgative. Seinfeld is co-written with Larry David, the same guy who writes Curb Your Enthusiasm.

I can't get into King of Queens, personally.

I have to be in the right mood for sitcom-style-humor, particularly the kind with canned laughter (or technically where the laughter from the "studio audience" is obviously one of those situations where a sign changes to display what people should be doing).

Curb is ANYTHING but sitcom-style w/canned laughter. The great thing about Curb is that there are non-PC moments a plenty with great awkwardness. The ending episode was the lamest thing I've ever seen though. Actually, the last season pretty much went down hill. But other than that, highly original and entertaining.

That's a show I haven't even seen clips of yet. I'm not sure how, but I haven't yet. I think I'll be youtubing tonight. Smile

House is a great show. I need to give Dead Like Me more of a chance, that's for sure--it has looked like a great show.

House
Grey's Anatomy
Dirty Jobs

The rest of the time I leave the TV on IFC, I normally can find something interesting to watch.
