Daily Question

Here is today's question:

What's your Favorite TV Show Right Now?

I have several right now -

1) Wilfred - on FX - with Elijah Wood - he plays a guy who lives next door to a woman with a dog but the dog comes alive for him and talks and all - it is strange but fun. Taken from a hit in Australia.

2) Anger Management - FX - with Charlie Sheen. Not a fan of his but the show is pretty funny. He plays an anger management therapist that works out of his house - so you meet his family (divorced with a middle schooler), his patients and they all have weird issues.

3) Chelsea Lately - E! - been a favorite for a long time now. Great show to watch at the end of the day. So silly.

4) Secret Millionaire - ABC - such a great feel-good series. A millionaire goes into a bad area of a city, lives there for a week and finds charities to volunteer at. He meets the people, starts to feel something for them and then in the end, gives their charities a check to help them out.

5) Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition - ABC - Chris Powell helps one very obese person to make themselves over - with diet and exercise - and follows them through a whole year of their lives. I like this much better than something like Biggest Loser because it is not a competition with others, it is a journey for one person. They don't just change physically but mentally too. It is great to see them change as they lose the weight and get confidence in themselves.

Of course, there are many others that I love but these are my 5 favorites. I love certain shows on Food Network, Cooking Channel, and of course Fox (Hell's Kitchen and Masterchef) but at the moment these are my 5 favorites.

What are your favorites?

I used to love wrestling when I was in H.S. I think it was 1978. I even went to Madison Square Garden to watch the wrestling. This was before Hulk Hogan. Even my son liked it for a little while, even the video games.

Actually none! We got rid of Satellite Dish, and I'm tempted to get rid of our other t.v's.......they got rid of the ONE show I really loved, "Gifted Man." I couldn't believe it and was very upset......I guess, if I'd have to list another, about the only other one I watch, and like, is "NCIS." Otherwise, I just watch the "oldies," like "Dragnet," "Leave It To Beaver," etc.....oh wow, how I love the oldies!

Ne'er heard of "Gifted Man". I love tv. I also love the old shows. On Sunday I find myself going to Antenna and watching " The Partridge Family" for some reason.

It was a program about a very handsome neurosurgeon who had "psychic" powers.....his ex-wife was killed in a tragic accident, but her spirit came back to stay in touch with him. I absolutely loved it soooooo much and was extremely upset when it was cancelled. However, I just remembered that I also love "Criminal Minds," as I'm so intrigued with the legal profession, and I find the programs very challenging/fascinating to watch! Otherwise, I really can't stand any of the other shows.....especially the "reality" stuff....would much prefer working on my crafts, reading books, and would even rather do housework.......LOL!!!!!

I used to hate reality tv but I now have favorites. I will not watch anything "Bachelor" or "Survivor" or anything on TLC (I can do without Dance Mom's and things like that). I love Dancing with the Stars, American Idol (altho in the coming year that might change), Sweetie Pie's on Oprah's network, Secret Millionaire and Extreme Makeover Weight loss Edition. At different times of the year it changes.

I rarely turn television on for anything other than the weather forecast. If I do (mainly in winter), I watch the Food Network or Animal Planet. My favorites were "Unwrapped" and "River Monsters".

I have always been a tv fanatic. Since I was little.

The Big Bang Theory. I am obsessed with this show and it's tying with Mork and Mindy as my all time favorite show. Sheldon is my favorite character :)

I love Mork & Mindy. Robin Williams when he was young and on drugs! He was adorable.

Nothing... I don't have time to watch TV. But if I had time, I would like to watch Criminal Minds.

Risa G. Aug 12, 2012, 12:12am UTC

I am not big on crime dramas. The only one I like is Hawaii Five-O. I also like the kind with quirks and more psychological like the new " Perception" with Eric McCormack. It is on TNT.

Nora D. Aug 12, 2012, 12:51am UTC

Aw heck, I forgot to also list "Criminal Minds." I adore that show.....LOL!!! I love anything that has to do with the legal profession........it's a fabulous program, and one of only TWO that I even consider watching.....the other being "NCIS." Can't stand any of the others....LOL!!!

Risa G. Aug 12, 2012, 8:59pm UTC

I loved "Boston Legal" and "Ally McBeal" (I have that one on DVD - the whole set) and I adore old shows too - "Get Smart", "Golden Girls" and anything old.

I love, Burn Notice, Breaking Bad and Super Natural ... I don't have cable but I watch them on Netflix. I also like White Collar.

Risa G. Aug 12, 2012, 9:01pm UTC

We just got Showtime and Cinemax. I just love the shows on HBO "Girls", "Boardwalk Empire", "Hung", "Newsroom" - they are all so well written and well acted. I am just starting to watch "Nurse Nancy" and "The Big C" on Showtime. I have tried to watch "Breaking Bad" and wasn't thrilled with it. Don't know why. I think I saw 3 of the shows.

Mostly I watch the food network, sometimes a movie. I try to catch up on Dallas, but it is hard with so many little ones around!

Risa G. Aug 12, 2012, 9:03pm UTC

I love most of the Food Network except for anything with Robert Irvine, Sandra Lee, or Cupcake Wars. I love Alton Brown, Giada, Aarti, Bobby, Ina and Ree. I am not a fan of "Chopped" either as it is impossible to cook some of those ingredients in 20 minutes, even if you are a big time chef. It is a stupid premise. It aggravates me. I think if you are a new cook, or an inexperienced foodie, then you can watch it and it won't piss you off. If you are an experienced cook, what they end up doing is just stupid.
