I was actually praising you for your obvious erudite pursuits while I wallowed in the sewer that is broadcast television.
Amazingly, there is a lot of intersections in our lists.
From Mark's List:
Giant's games Of course. Plus Cubs games, NBA Playoffs, NHL Playoffs, 49er Football, Golf, Major Tennis Matches especially Wimbledon.
Game of Thrones Nope. Waiting on the books.
Once Upon a Time Used to but got bored.
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland Saw the first episode and said no
Grimm Much like your Arrow comment, every couple of episodes is good
Modern Family Best comedy on TV
Hell's Kitchen - This season is awful. Gordon is phoning it in...
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Much better now that Hydra has kicked in
Supernatural - Dee Dee likes it. I'm still not sure which one is Sam and which one is Dean Saw a couple on Netflix's and said no
Kitchen Nightmares Occasionally in reruns, like the Europe version better.
Sleepy Hollow - I really liked this one. Supposedly renewed but I have yet to see a schedule. Could be better
Restaurant Impossible Nope
Hotel Impossible I'll catch a few minutes.
Glee - Again, total drop in quality since they moved to N.Y.C., but Kurt is so ADORABLE!!!!! Nope
Arrow - One of every 3 or 4 is actually watchable. I concur. Too much emoting. Too much 'I see you managed to get your shirt off'
Fargo - (Not official - haven't watched any yet) I made it half way through the pilot before bailing from boredom.
Pawn Stars - Will watch same episodes over and over My go to on commercial breaks
Counting Cars - " Some
American Restoration - " Some
How It's Made - "
Face Off
Da Vinci's Demons - Basically "Game of Thrones Lite", but the acting is top-notch and reminds me of a Rennaisance "Brisco County Jr." with graphic violence and nudity. Saw the pilot and thought it was terrible.
Cool Japan - Just started on this. A Hong Kong Network show where they ask global ex-pats living in Japan about the 'unique' things they've experienced. Then a Japanese sociologist explains why such behavior is attractive to Japanese people. Neat stuff.
That's a really good start, ED. What do you watch the rest of the week?
Orphan Black You should all be watching this.
The BlackList
Bones (Although it might be off the list soon)
Castle (Getting creaky, too)
American Pickers
Ripper Street
Elementary
Castle
SportCenter
The Daily Show
The Colbert Report (Usually only to the first break)
Jeopardy
Justified
The Big Bang Theory
Person of Interest
Community (Most surreal show on TV)
Almost Human (In the Arrow and the Grimm category)
The History of Science Fiction (Only four episodes but pretty good)
Masterpiece Theater: Sherlock (Now waiting the two years for the next three episodes)
Championship Darts! (I only watched a few minutes of this but was amazed it was on TV. Also amazed it was last year's championship. Finally amazed by the huge crowd watching in person)
