Welcome Yunsab, you'll catch on!

howdy! New to the net, newer to the spring. Addicted to t and v as an adult since my parental units denied access thereunto in my childhood. Seems every show I like gets cancelled (too numerous to name here; most egregious recent example being Due South)or messed with (Naked Truth). What's up with that? I liked Northern Exposure early on but in later seasons it rubbed me wrong and then they brought in a bunch of characters I didn't care for (the new doc and his whiny wife, eg) so I stopped watching. I even have cable now, heaven forfend! NEVER thought I'd do that!!

What do you like that's on now.

Of the regular shows (ie, non cable and non PBS) I'd have to say that I tune into a variety of sitcoms and dramas but am passionate about nothing right now. I think NYPD Bleu and Homocide (yes those are deliberate typos) are good but getting a little ?stale or ?self-referential now. I love Christine Baranski on Cybill and am even willing to watch the show despite my loathing for the increasingly self-conciously cutsie Ms Sheppard (actually don't know how to spell her name!) in order to see the exquisite comedic antics of the lovely Ms Baranski. I hope if they ever do ruin AbFab by remaking it for US TV, they cast her in the Joanna Lumley role. I enjoy Tea Leoni in the Naked Truth in much the same way: great comedic turns, poor show. My more low-brow selections include Nash Bridges--the chemistry between Cheech and Don is incredible and makes an otherwise mundane cop dramedy watchable. Let me think some more!

my goodness--how could I be so forgetful?!?!--XFILESXFILESXFILES!!! Ok, ther IS one show I'm addicted to nowadays. I'll think of more when I get home, but that's the BIG KAHUNA.

Good to be here. Have you heard of the potential migration of folks here from Electric Minds?

~aubrey Mon, Jun 23, 1997 (08:11) #17

I saw a post from terry somewhere in here about that--I don't know what electric minds is but any influx is welcome!

Hi, I'm introducing myself. Love TV. Lots of cable channels too. NYPD Blue is like a religion. I don't agree that's it's getting stale, but I just love the show. ER. Frasier. Ellen. Party of Five. That's all I can think of off the top of my head. When the networks came out with the fall season, I put my TV schedule on paper. It's packed away right now as I just moved otherwise I could respond better. Yep, I'm nuts. Does anyone remember the wonderful Bonnie Hunt show that lasted what three months? I loved it. Looking forward to Kirstie Alley this fall. I suppose that's all.

Welcome Lecteur! Glad you're with us.

What kind of games do you play, Lore?

~LorieS Tue, Oct 14, 1997 (13:38) #28

Pictionary, trivial pursuit, scrabble, among others. I myself prefer games with bells and whistles (noisy buzzers and the like), but I'm actually best at any game that involves song lyrics. To tell the truth, in my circle of friends the women always know the lyrics while the guys really don't have a clue what a song is actually about, even when they're VERY familiar with it. Anyway, enough digressing. Tell me what you like to do to keep busy and have fun.

~terry Tue, Oct 14, 1997 (13:58) #29

Guys, take a hit off the clue bong.

Hi Emily! I'm hooked on cop shows, especially "Law & Order", "NYPD Blue" and the local favorite, "Homicide." Boy, you sure like Fox!

~EEK Mon, Apr 6, 1998 (12:19) #39

I guess I am a big FOX fan. I have watched "NYPD Blue" before and I really liked it. I just lost track of when it was on. I try not to watch too much TV. I always in front of the tv on Wednesday and Thursdays though =)

~MarciaH Sat, Aug 7, 1999 (14:35) #46

Yes - the scribbler was in there tidying up, perhaps?

Hello Everyone, I'l give this a try and see how it goes. My favorite actor, for many years, has been British actor Trevor Eve. Does anyone else here enjoy his work? I also like Masterpiece Theatre and "Britcoms", such as "AbFab" and "As Time Goes By".

~autumn Sun, Dec 17, 2000 (21:58) #57

Gotta love AbFab!

~sprin5 Mon, Dec 18, 2000 (10:16) #58

What is AbFab, I haven't seen this. Welcome KateB!

~autumn Thu, Dec 21, 2000 (18:36) #59

Oh, you've seen it, Terry--it's those two outrageous English women, Edina and Patsy, who are absolutely over the top in every way. It's a scream!! Its real name is "Absolutely Fabulous", but its devotees refer to it as AbFab.
