Lately, I've been watching the following on Hulu:
NCIS: LA
Hawaii 5-0
Modern Family
The Office
Justified
The Glades
Chuck
I've always like Burn Notice, Top Shot, and Human Target _________________ "What we do in life, echoes in eternity."

Ha! I recognize The Avengers! And American Dad and Family Guy, of course. I watch a little BBC America from time to time, but I don't recognize the others. I enjoy Top Gear and Doctor Who, although I thought David Tennant was much better than the current guy. _________________ John - ASE Martial Arts Supply

| Mostly I like to watch news shows, kind of obsessively, actually. When this gets old, my favorite shows to watch are reruns of Mash and the Cosby Show (the two best shows ever, IMO), and, more currently, The Daily Show, Chopped (on the Food Network), Glee, and Modern Family. |

Love The IT Crowd watch it over and over again on 4oD. Shame season 5 is supposed to be the last one they're going to do.
Misfits is another good one by Channel 4, they're going to be showing it in the US soon: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-13761843 so you guys get to see it too Not sure how well it'll translate though as there are loads of cultural references that you might not be familiar with. Haha for those of you guys who liked my accent on the live webchat, listen to the character called Kelly in the show, that's how I used to sound when I was younger. _________________ "Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it." ~ Confucius |

| John, we all liked Tennant. He had a few more years for us to like him, some great companions, and solid stories. I would argue that Smith's tenure is still to young to call. The stories, I think, are better though. The last season's finale was amazing and the mid-season this year was most impressive. |

I suppose. The latest iteration of the show IS growing on me. I like the dynamic between the Doctor, Pond, and Rory. I thought the new cast and crew started out slow, but they seem to be hitting their stride. I'm not sure why I don't like the current Doctor as much. He seems less sure of himself, less carefree, more nervous, maybe? Anyway, I do enjoy the show. It's one of the few that my family always watches together. _________________ John - ASE Martial Arts Supply

I've been watching Franklin and Bash, too, and speaking of new lawyer shows, the first episode of Suits was pretty good. _________________ John - ASE Martial Arts Supply
