NowAGrandma I hate to admit it but I'll be sad to see "All My Children" leave the air later this year. I don't have tome to watch it all the time now beacsue I work, but I tape it and watch it every so often at night. I remember loving it when the kids were little, I'd put them down for a nap and put my feet up for some much needed down time.

Jackie I've gotten hooked on AMC's "The Killing". I really like the "treasure hunt" aspect of the investigation. FYI, it's pretty intense.

LovesToRead You have to check out this show, Bitchen Kithen on the Cooking Channel. It is so over the top, the set, retro with red and green, skulls and plastic baby dolls. Yep, you read that right, and the womon who the hostess, to say the least, is over the top in her style. She was doing a "make up meal" with all sorts of interesting comments. You have to check this one out!

rxneesa Regarding American Idol ~ Always loved, but what happened last week with Pia Toscano , has turned me off. They really need to change voting system. Whie I know Pia will probably do better without AI, it's true that unlimited voting changes the whole dynamics of the show.

LovesToRead You are right on with your review of AI, the voting system has become a popularity contest run by teenage girls.

rxneesa I loved Life Unexpected on the CW, but looks like its being cancelled. But always love ~ Greys Anatomy, Private Practice, Brothers and Sisters, Raising Hope. Newer shows that are great are ~ The Good Wife, Harrys Law, and Body of Proof.

Jackie Regarding American Idol, IMO they seriously need to do something about the voting method they're using. There's another reality show, I think it's called So You Think You Can Dance or something like that, which lets the public vote, then the judges put their two cents in and the voting is combined with theirs. American Idol winds up with a certain demographic voting for the most "swoon-ish" male contestants, IMO. Probably why there haven't been more female winners in recent years. In any case, it seems the runners up often wind up with the better careers. Just look at Jennifer Hudson!

Sailinggirl49 I've just found a new show called Being Human, on the Sci-fi channel. I've only caught a few shows, but at least it is different then most showes out there. It has a vampire, werewolf, and ghost all living together. The actor that plays the vampire is really hot.

Jackie Guilty pleasure pick: American Idol. Every year I tell myself I won't get sucked in, but I wind up watching at least the last few. This year, with all the totally amazing talent, I'm watching it from start to finish. Some of these kids could be making CD's already, IMO!

Jackie Raising Hope is a fairly new addition to my TV favorites list. Love it! Glee used to be a favorite, but something has happened to the show that's taken away what I liked about it originally. Not enough Sue, too much bursting into Broadway-style singing that sometimes just seems waaaaay over the top, IMO.

Storylady5 Big Bang Theory -- funny, original, and Sheldon is absolutely the breakout star. Oh, and if you record the episodes, make sure to freeze frame Chuck Lorre's vanity cards, at the end. They are a hoot. If you can't read them that way, Google "vanity cards" and read them on-line.

Sailinggirl49 I saw “American Pickers” a couple of months ago for the first time. It was really a kind of cool idea with those two guys spending part of their time just driving hunting around for old houses and farms that look like they have a hoarder/collector living in them. Good thing they have a camera crew following them or one of these days someone will meet them with a rifle. One of the shows I saw was about some old guy that was building his own walled in maze of rooms containing all sorts of stuff he had found over the years. If it weren’t for the old guy they would have been lost in the maze of junk. It really is interesting though to see some of the finds they come across, it makes you think “what have I got around here I could sell” or worse yet, I just gave that away to Goodwill last week. There is a new show on Bravo that has a lady who does estate sales, it made my husband laugh when he saw the Ford Pinto, since he drove one in high school.

SilverintheMist Oh and a PS: If they never did another "Law and Order" ANYTHING, I would be so happy!!! The constant re-runs my husband watches (this show is on somewhere all the time) are killing me...no pun intended.

SilverintheMist Hey, did anyone see the one on Pawn Stars, where another pawn shop owner brought in a supposed 'shrunken head' to sell to them? Too funny! Any American Picker fans out there?

PaulT I have to agree with you on Pawn Stars. Sometimes have to laugh when I see some of the things folks bring in, other times I think to myself "didn't I see something like that in my dad's attic"? Do you think some of them go out and buy something odd just to get on the show?

AnnH When I watched What Not To Wear, I wondered if they just went out and purchased really bad stuff to wear in pictures of themselves so they would be picked. Then I went out shopping at mall and started looking around at some of the outfits and realized, that "yes" there are some really bad outfits being worn out and about.

Jo-Anne Saw the new Law & Order: Los angeles. I hate to say it, but I was disappointed. I don't know what Law & Order's secret sauce is, but this show doesn't have it. I'm going to give it another couple of weeks though, to see if they correct this. Let's hope so.

onlqqker I like the PBS series of British Mysteries; Dexter; House; Sons of Anarchy and did like True Blood until this season when it went flat for me. Thise are the ones I try not to miss, but I do watch general TV...ok, I love the true crime shows. I watch these while I am doing crafts. I don't like many of the comedy shows. My Name Is Earl kinda grew on me though.

buckigirl I love a lot of the original programming on HBO and Showtime. It's often raw, but very honest. Right now I'm watching Weeds, The Big C, and Hung -- on demand. I'm looking forward to the start of Boardwalk Empire. On the networks 30 Rock, The Office, Parks and Recreation, Community, Cougartown and, my new favorite, Modern Family, are always worth watching. My tastes are eclectic -- I loved the Cranford series on PBS, too.

Mon Sep 13, 2010, 9:46:26 AM EDT
Jackie I also like the more "raw"-type shows. I'm surprised "Breaking Bad" is on AMC! Very, VERY raw at times. But I couldn't get enough of it! ha ha I only wish there wasn't going to be such a long wait for Season 4. I also like "30 Rock" and really liked "Cranford", too. "The Middle" is another of the few comedy shows I like (besides "30 Rock", which I think has some of the funniest characters and funniest lines of any comedy show on TV).

Jackie I'm excited about the new season starts of Castle (Sept. 20) and Criminal Minds (Sept. 22). I'll have to wait till June of 2011 for the 4th season of Breaking Bad, though! :^( I'm also glad Rizzoli & Isles will be back for another season. I wonder if they'll keep it in next year's summer lineup or might add it to the fall lineup next year and make me wait! ha ha

pugsleyj51 My absolute favorite show is Castle! Can't wait for it to start the new season on Sept. 20th! Great police work, investigative work, a little humor, a little romance, lots of love of family. Great show!

Jo-Anne Hands down, Law & Order, Criminal Intent. And I'm grieving over the loss of "Bobby." He was the best! When I was verrrrryyyyyy young, I remember Saturday nites sitting around the TV and watching Perry Mason. I guess that was the start of my addiction to the crime shows.

Jackie I'm more a fan of L & O SVU, and used to be a big fan of the original L & O in the "early days". It started to get boring, IMO, though. I would have to say Criminal Minds, Breaking Bad, and a new one, Rizzoli & Isles, are my favorite crime shows at the moment.
Fri Aug 27, 2010, 7:56:58 PM EDT
Fri Aug 27, 2010, 7:56:58 PM EDT
