I don't mind shows that seem similar to other ones, usually the characters themselves can make it unique, but shows that don't, suck.

Never really noticed how crappy TV's been getting, since the only reason I turn on my TV is for The Daily Show and the Colbert Report, movies, watching 30 Rock via my 360, and video games.

That was my initial reaction, as well. I came in expecting something about MASH or Honeymooners.

In two horus a show on the Discovery channel called The Colony is premeiring which is a reality show about a post-apocolyptic scenario. Its like Fallout meets Survivor. That, and Warehouse 13 on Syfy is pretty good, and that says alot considering my hatred for syfy.

Chuck is a good new show. The Mentalist was very good. NCIS is a good show too. Yes, TV mostly sucks today, but you can find the gems.

I like to stay up from 2:30am to 7:00am watching Married with Children and Saved by the Bell. I think the newest tv series that I watch is probably House, though I havent actually watched it in a few months.

I hate the guy that plays Monk so I don't watch it :P But TV is at its highest for me with LOST, 24, Heroes, House and The Office. I also love this show Cake Boss on TLC... the cakes they make are phenomenal.

Really, trying to compare Better Off Ted to Joey is just trying to find a reason to not watch a show. They don't even use the same sort of format. BOT doesn't use a laugh track if my memory serves me right thus makes it the smarter show since they're not trying to push specific jokes on people. They're assuming people watching the show are smart enough to get the joke.

the only shows i watch are south park, smallville, and the jon dore show. i loved prison break when it first came out, but they got greedy and kept going after season 1. if it ended there it would have gone down as a legendery show. well, season 2 wasnt THAT bad but after that it sucked.

Food network is pretty gnarly. Alton Brown is cool... especially with his Good Eats. Also, Unwrapped with Mark Summers.

I do find T.V to be pretty boring but that is nothing new for me. There are some good shows out there that I should get into but I just never give time for it. I like watching CSI though.

Yeah. It's not bad. I had to watch a couple of episodes on Hulu before I warmed up to it, as well. It's not great, but it's not the worst I've seen recently.

well like you would get what i was thinking cause ive never seen dexter or prison break

but i used to watch oz and its similiar to prison break and i loved it thats why i picked prison break

but i can always go pick up dexter so i probably will
