Which show did you look forward to watching? Plan your dinner around it? Plan your evening activities so you don't miss it...or set your VCR/DVD or TIVO so you didn't miss it?

I don't know how to set my VCR....so I had to be home every week for Happy Days.....and now I plan on being home every Wednesday night to watch LOST.

I also confess to browsing the internet looking for speculation and spoilers on upcoming episodes.

Hi, I'm Kathy and I'm a Lostie.

How about you? What are your favorite shows: old and new?

[Sib2of11]

There isn't much on television that interests me, but over the summer I got hooked on the series "24". I watch LOST on Wednesdays, but I don't find it as exciting as "24". Except for news and weather, those are the only TV shows I watch.

I used to love watching Little House on the Prairie and the Waltons when my children were small. When I was a child, I liked Father Knows Best, Leave it to Beaver, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and the Twilight Zone.

In my mind, television programs were more family oriented in the "old days".

[Kate]

My childhood favorite show was the Brady Bunch. :angel: I never really liked cartoons, so Brady Bunch and Little House on the Prairie and Cosby were what we were allowed to watch!

But nowadays, my favorite show is Without a Trace. Ok ok, I also love CSI (any of the 3). I just got DVR, so now I can tape them! :D

[QuiltAngel]

I used to llike M*A*S*H*, still do.

Now I like to watch 24, Without a Trace, the CSI's and Numbers.

Guess I like to watch t.v.
Jane

[DayDreamer]

I am an I Love Lucy fan! I also enjoy watching The Cosby Show and M*A*S*H. I miss Friends but have it on DVD and watch reruns.

I don't watch as much TV as I used to, but have been entertained watching Dancing With the Stars lately. I love dancing!

[txgurl]

I like Lost, Dancing with the Stars, and 24.

I used to watch TV more, but there not much on that I like. I would rather be on the computer or reading a good book. I do enjoy a good movie when there is on or we rent one.

[piper_creek]

I've gotten hooked on Grey's Anatomy on Sunday nights. I tivo it every week.

Favorite old show would be Seinfeld or Friends, but it is hard to miss them since they are always in reruns. Oh, and the Golden Girls.

[Poppie]

I love CSI, Cold Case,Crossing Jordan, New Detectives,Trading Spaces and What Not To Wear. When I was younger I loved watching: The Rifleman, Gunsmoke,Family Affair,Brady Bunch, One Day at a Time, Dark Shadow and anything with John Wayne. :) Carol

[YellowRoseTex]

My fave old TV Show is Dick Van Dyke. I have all the seasons on DVD. Whenever I need to laugh I pop in a DVD (notice that the initials spell DVD :D ) Dh laughs just watching me watch Dick, the show is just soooo funny. Good, clean fun! They didn't have to cuss or talk about sex. To me, there is not a show to compare.

For current shows, we are Survivor addicts. I can't think of a current drama or sitcom that we watch. I do like Law and Order, but since Jerry Orbach passed away, the show is not the same. Although Sam Waterson is still on the show. He is certainly worth watching.

Whoops, forgot, we have gotten hooked on the show Prison Break. It's been on hiatus so I forgot all about it.

[pattyaks]

My all time favorite is,I Love Lucy! When the six season DVD's come out May 2nd I will have all six season's:yay"I also enjoy watching The Dick Van Dyke Show! Have all the episodes on VHS. I will be starting to get the DVD's for that show soon. Right now I do not watch much TV. There are a couple of programs I do watch. 7th Heaven & Dancing With The Stars. Sad to say after this season 7th Heaven has ended it's regular season:(This is their tenth season. But I will be able to see reruns of this program every week night on abc family channel. Oh! I forgot one more show. M*A*S*H.

[clogaholic]

I'm Lucy fan too. My DD is a sitcom addict so I get to see a lot of the old goodies.
I love Dancing With The Stars and try not to miss it. I'm also enjoying Skating With Celebraties. I love to watch ice skating and gymnastics - can't do either!

[Votelady]

We Have to watch Lost, Invasion, Dancing with the Stars & The L Word.

[tanner413]

Favorite old show would be Three Stooges.
Favorite new show is Greys Anatomy and The Sopranos

[smalltowngal]

When I was young my favorites were Dukes of Hazard, Green Acres, Beverly Hillbilies, Brady Bunch, Saved By the Bell, Fresh Prince, and the Cosby show...I am sure many others along the way. Now I like to watch CSI, Without a Trace, and Law and Order: SVU. I occasionaly catch a glimpse of some reality TV shows and sometimes watch Friends and Seinfeld re-runs.

[Kyleigh]

I used to love watching shows such as I Love Lucy and the Dick Van Dyke Show. I was seriously addicted to Dallas, and for a long time I was hooked on ER but have quit that one. My new favorites are 24 and Monk.

[Canadian Girl]

Oh my, I have a lot of "old times" favorites:

Bewitched
My Favorite Martian
Lost in Space
Time Tunnel
The Champions
Get Smart
Family Ties
Happy Days
The Brady Bunch
The Partridge Family (I was, litterally, in love in Keith.. Not David Cassidy...)


Currently, I don't watch too many shows, though I often get caught up in CSI, when DH is watching. I also enjoy watching The Gilmore Girls, One Tree Hill, That 70's Show and Charmed with DD. I enjoy watching "Myth Busters" with DS.

[Ginger Coots]

[SouthDakotaSherry]

When I was a kid, we loved the Partridge Family. It was a stupid show, but my father thought it was cute that I had a thing for David Cassidy, so he would stop everything and watch the show with me. I think that is why I remember it most.

Now, I had to admit I am an American Idol and Survivor fan. I am not home either night, but my very wonderful husband tapes them and waits to watch them with me.

[Charger]

When I was a kid I loved Father Knows Best and Leave it to Beaver. Also the Man from Uncle :)

When my kiddos were growing up, Thursday night was pizza and Cosby Show night ...

I don't watch a lot of tv these days, but I sure hate to miss Sunday nights with Desperate Housewives (tho I think it was better last year) and Grey's Anatomy. My favorite has to be Lost.......

[crunchies0313]

I won't say what my old favorite TV show was because it wasn't that long ago!!

Now I can't miss an episode of 24, Lost, and Nip/Tuck!!

Or any special edition of Biggest Loser!!

Im with Katy and Lost. Can't miss an episode and even DVR them so we can rewind and get all the theories!!!

[Noelle]

I absolutely must catch Gilmore Girls every week. I also like Desperate Housewives and Everybody Hates Chris, and I must say that 24 is reeling me in. I always watch American Idol, although it is because of the "fascination of the abomination," as Conrad would say. Oh, and every chance I get, I watch Little House on the Prairie. And Fraggle Rock!
Back in my youth, (hehe, cuz 18 is sooo old ;) ) I frequently watched Wishbone, Arthur, Dr. Quinn, Boy Meets World and X-Files.

[ertech05]

I enjoy Trauma: Life in the ER, Dirty Jobs, some of the "Made" shows on MTV, I love Lucy, King of the Hill, Rosanne,and some of the shows that Showtime runs....
As far as old shows I would have to say "The Wonder Years"..At the time it was on I was around Winnie and Kevins age and could really relate to the issues they had...

[allingoodtime]

My favorite show from my childhood was probably Star Trek (the 60's one), Bonanza and , for sure Medical Center!
Today I don't watch much but sports and the learning channels. The only mainstream show that I like is "That 70's Show". I like it so much I bought the whole second season:)

[Doodles]

I'm Debbi...and I am a tv-aholic!!

My fall/winter nights are based around what's on TV...Tuesday's are pretty slow.

Lost, Surface, CSI, House, ER, Las Vegas, etc...I could really go on , and on, and on.
Oh my gosh, I almost forgot Desp. HW & Grey's Anatomy...those are my leave me alone til it's over shows!!!

Thank God for DVR...It's awesome!!

But I miss the Waltons and the Brady Bunch.

[spasmo]

Old favorites: Designing Women, Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie, Star Trek

Current favorites: Grey's Anatomy, Boston Legal, Lost, 24, American Idol, Gilmore Girls, Engineering Disasters

[homeschooling_momma]

my favorite shows are as follows...

I have always loved FRIENDS

and now I am hoplessly addicted to 24

I started watching this year & I am frantically trying to find the other seasons of it!

lol

[Lee]

My favorite is Grey's Anatomy, I also enjoy Desparate Housewives. From 8 to 9pm I set aside time to watch TV with my daughter, we enjoy wathing Seventh Heaven Gilmore Girls, and Survivor together. As a kid I always watched Little House On the Prarie, and the Brady Bunch.

[Brennys Gramma]

When at home (currently traveling for work), I try not too miss Dr. Phil and Oprah (okay, that's afternoon TV) and I also love Amazing Race :jet: and CSI.

Some of the shows I used to really like are Friends and Seinfeld.

Right now since I work at night, I spend too much time in my hotel room and watch way too much TV. Interestingly enough I just started watching American Idol, which I never watched at home...in America :hmm:

[Penske40]

I grew up in front of the television, so I'd have to say any ABC sitcom was my favorite, since that was all we could pick up with the rabbit ears. :p

In recent years, most definitely SEINFELD. When my husband and I were dating, I would NOT go out on Thursday nights, nor could he come to my place. Thursday at 9 was MY time with Jerry and the gang.

Now, my fav's are Three and a half Men and House. Not much else interests me. I TiVo Everybody Love's Raymond and That 70's show, plus all the girly sitcoms on Oxygen.

[SnoSpud]

When I was a little girl I absolutely LOVED the Dukes of Hazzard! ROFLOL! I was quite the Tom Boy.

Today thankfully my tastes have changed! Now, I love the Office, CSI, Without a Trace, Nip Tuck and Wild Boyz.

[bkteller]

I loved "Mork N Mindy" and now I love" Starting over house" and "Reba"

[TessiNY]

Hmm, I don't remember watching much growing up, except Scooby Doo Cartoons (and I still love them today :p ).

I still don't watch much tv but do have to see Lost and Criminal Minds. Other than that, I love the History channel or may have something like A & E playing for background noise.

[charliemae]

I have more than one. For old shows it's
The Monkees
The Andy Williams Show
Where tha Action Is (music with Paul Revere and the Raiders and other musical guests)
Dark Shadows
Dr. Kildare

Ed Sullivan
Hee Haw
The Adventures of Robin Hood

New shows:
Invasion
Surface
Monk
Battlestar Galactica (I got used to it because DH just had to watch it)
That 70's Show
I also like The O'Reilly Factor, and Hannitty & Colmes

As you can see, my taste varies.

[Seashell]

The two shows I'm still waiting for to come out on DVD -- "China Beach" and "St. Elsewhere". Come on, guys! My credit card is ready and waiting.

[KCGal]

I confess, I'm hooked on reality TV. My current favorite is Project Runway on Bravo. I missed the last season, so I'm waiting for the DVD to come out. I just watched the first episode of The Apprentice, but am not sure how long I can stand that one. Rollergirls on A&E is another favorite.
I'm also a fan of the original CSI series, Law and Order - Criminal Intent and Numbers.

Old favorites: Square Pegs (anyone else remember that one?), Miami Vice, Hunter, and Coach.

[Carmen]

My old favorite: "The Andy Griffith Show," with "Twilight Zone" as a runner-up.

Current favorite: "Boston Legal." The only other shows I watch are "American Idol" and "The Bachelor and/or Batchelorette."

[GirlyGirl]

My first favorite was I Dream of Jeanie.
Then Happy Days, then Magnum PI, then 30 Something, then ER....now, I love reality TV...Survivor, Big Brother, American Idol and Amazing Race. Also, a big fan of 24, Oprah and Dr. Phil and all home improvement shows...Trading Spaces being number one. Hey....just realized...I'm a real couch potatoe!! Thank goodness for TiVo!

[sunsoaker]

When I was young, my favs were Gilligans Island, Mayberry, and The Brady Bunch. Oh, and lets not forget M*A*S*H...

.. as an adult, I rarely watch t.v. Couldn't even tell you what shows are currently popular. My hubby watches news and sports, and that's what the t.v. is always tuned to.

[NeNe]

Yes, I am a Lostie too. Got to watch it every Wed. night. I have to watch ER, Grey's Anatomy, American Idol and I like Wife Swap and Trading Spouses.

Oldies: Little House on the Prairie and The Waltons. Those make me feel comforted for some reason. I love Friends and I have to go to sleep at night with Fresh Prince on. He just makes me laugh and laugh. I like Becker and Cosby too.

[Renata333]

Hey gals!
T.V.....i loved cosby show, growing pains (Kirk Cameron), Charles in Charge is one i haven't heard of in a while, and Will Smith, Prince of BelAir...now I don't do the tv thing, but if i happen to be sitting doing nothing and House is on....yeah...i'll go for that...that is a great show...doctor show! now that Dr. Green is no longer a part of the "ER" staff....not so much!

[cynlong]

Oldies were Star Trek and The Brady Bunch. Current Las Vegas and The Gilmore Girls...

[Parrothead]

I had a different favorite every season, but "Emergency" and "the Beverly Hillbillies" are the only shows I have bought. I like to watch "Andy Griffith" reruns.

Current?? I watch a lot of Animal Planet, so it's shows like "Animal Precinct" "Animal Cops Miami or Detroit or Houston or San Fransisco". "NCIS" with Mark Harmon. I watched the family edition of "Amazing Race". And the reruns of "Everyone Loves Raymond" which I never watched when it was still on network TV.

[GOLDENSAM]

Favorite past time show would have to be Designing Women. I adore Annie Potts. Although I will admit I miss when the networks used to have a night set aside each week for a movie. I miss that. All of the bad words and icky scenes were cut out so that you could actually have it on the screen before the kids went to bed!
Desperate Housewives is my current favorite. I am a junkie. :queen: Guilty. I'm a cross between Susan and Lynette. :o

[amythyst1]

I loved Mork and Mindy too. Also does anyone remember Bosom Buddies? Where the guys dressed like women so they could live in a women's building? It was hilarious. I don't think it would be accepted as funny now a days though.

Now I watch Reba and Law and Order.

[Kathy]

Do ya'll remember Barnaby Jones, Mannix and one other show (can't remember the name) with a husband and wife detective show that were millionaies? Those were funny shows in the 70's. LOL

[GirlyGirl]

Do ya'll remember Barnaby Jones, Mannix and one other show (can't remember the name) with a husband and wife detective show that were millionaies? Those were funny shows in the 70's. LOL

Hi Kathy. Would that be Hart to Hart? There was also McMillan and Wife and Columbo. I still like to catch Columbo reruns sometimes. And, who can forget, Hawaii 5-O

[Kathy]
