Am I the only one who has 7th Heaven as one of the favorite shows?

I must be weird.

And come on -- me and Asher can't be the only ones to really enjoy Everwood.

What I watch regulary:

Charmed
7 days
Smallville

(Though not watching any of those at the moment, since they are not shown for the next few (many?) weeks

What I watch sometimes:

Spin City (There's a 50% chance that I switch the channel, if it's the new episode, though a 100% chance that I'll watch it, if it's the old episodes)
The Simpsons
Married with Children
Fresh Prince of Bel Air
Taxi (Old 70's show)
Some other 70's show, I don't remember the name of... something about lots of crazy people in some military base far away...
Seinfield (only little chance that I actually stay and watch the whole show...)

Well, it's either that show doesn't appeal to you, or, well... are you sure you're not MrFun's DL?

If it weren't for the facts that--
1) I'm engaged,
2) She's married,
3) and I'm a total loser--
I'd totally go after her. Alas, those three little things stand in the way of true love...


Anyway, the shows I make sure to watch every week are (in order)
24
Alias
Scrubs
The Simpsons
(slot Six Feet Under up here when it's on)
CSI
The West Wing
ER
Ed
Malcolm in the Middle
Oz
(slot The Amazing Race and Survivor down here when they're on)

I try to keep away from TV, but my parents watch it a lot, so I've come to like a few shows. I watch the ones I like religiously, but never any others.

My shows:

The Tonight Show - Good monologues, good guests, and good live performances.

SNL - I watch it out of tradition. I know people say it's not as good as it used to be, but it's still good.

The Simpsons - Everyone loves them.

Seinfeld - Best comedy show there is. I still haven't seen about 30 episodes, so it's still cool.

CSI - My parents dragged me into this one. They watched it all the time while I was polying (my computer's near the TV.) I got kinda used to it, and now I like it. It's as good as TV drama gets, and the blond woman is hot. I hate the clone.

Law and Order - Parents dragged me in, same as CSI. It has a hot blond woman too. As in CSI, I hate the clones.


That's it. I also watch Malcolm in the Middle sometimes, and I'll watch loserish shows if I have the time.

I'm going to tie some of you guys down to chairs, and force you to watch an entire episode of 7th Heaven!

As for channels such as the History channel -- pray tell how a channel is a TV show?
Specifically, are there any documentary weekly series that you like on that channel. I agree it's a great channel.

I've seen several entire episodes of 7th Heaven (don't ask), and it almost works as a comedy.

It's just way too Christian. And every episode is about making something into a big deal, when it's nothing. Oh no, the kid flipped someone off. Let's have a whole episode talking about it, including an emotional apology.

But maybe part of the reason society has gotten worse, is that some things that truly are wrong are not seen as a "big deal" anymore.

Anyway, in some ways the show is corny, but you know, I still like the show for some unexplicable reason.

I may start a thread on Alias here in Apolyton if there is enough people who like the show that it does not die fast. I went to the message boards at abc.com, and they are the worst ones I have every seen, and have to many women posting how they think how cute the men in the show are and how they want more romance in the show, just cant stand it.

Actually is quite normal. About 50% of us Americans do vote Republican. That is a MUCH higher number than people who are gay. I guess that means you are weird for being gay .

Well, not really. People didn't pay attention too much to it. Mostly it was a bunch of celebrities being idiots and upstaging the smart people. It was fun, but it didn't make a dent.
