The other one can't act like anyone other than himself, but luckily he's a lot like his character, so it works out. Lollerskates!

The only ones I ever watched were Star Trek TNG - about 15 years ago and only because I fancied Wil Wheaton (who I do believe has a wonderful twitter). And the X-Files - also a very long time ago, and only until Mulder disappeared. And Buffy - coz I fancied Angel - which I also watched until he had a kid.

Now I watch sport, Modern Family, and The Big Bang Theory (which I adore and highly rec - and funnily enough, guest stars Wil Wheaton on occasion.). Oh, and sometimes docs about people with strange habits/hobbies. You know, stranger than mine :D

Hee, I'm surprised that TBBT isn't on this list - I def enjoy that one too :). And I haven't checked out Wil Wheaton's twitter, but his blog is great.

The X-Files got really, really bad after Mulder disappeared. It had already been going downhill for a while, though.

Do you watch Bones? David Boreanaz is totally hot in that.

Oh, thank you for that link! I've been toying with the idea of getting a twitter just to keep up with his tweets!

I adore TBBT! It's the one programme that I stop everything for to watch. It makes me laugh so much. I'm surprised it's not there either.

I have the first three seasons of Bones on DVD, and season one and two of the The Wire, and a couple of seasons of the The West Wing...but I haven't got around to any of them. I think it's because my optimal level of concentration for TV is twenty minutes :)

But I am loving the Olympics. The gymnastics and the swimming were awesome this evening!

And David is hot in anything I've seen him in :)

Some colleagues of mine just told me that The Wire is the single bestest show on television ever. The premise really doesn't grab my interest at all, but if you start watching it, please let me know what you think!

The first few seasons of Bones = great before they make the main character into a caricature and we lose most of our empathy and admiration for her (sound familiar?).

WATCH THE WEST WING. Seriously. Watch it 20 minutes at a time if you have to! There's no mystery to be wrapped up in 45 min or whatever so it's not a problem ;).

I can't watch the Olympics, even online, because unlike apparently everyone else in the 21st century, I do not pay for tv so I can't get nbc streaming :(. Did I tell you that I tried to install a dish but a tree across the street blocks the signal from one of the satellites???

Likewise, it was a colleague of mine who told me about The Wire, and gave me a memory stick with the first two seasons on it. And it would be so my thing if I could just get around to watching it. Same with The West Wing.

The first few seasons of Bones = great before they make the main character into a caricature and we lose most of our empathy and admiration for her (sound familiar?). Sounds vaguely familiar...*ponders* :D

It makes little sense, considering I watch so little TV, but cable is one of our few indulgances. There are about 500 channels, and I rarely make any use of them. And yet, I can't let it go...

Chop down that tree, or report it. I would :D It is annoying that you might want to see something, but can't. Because of a tree. Sheesh!!
