What TV shows to you watch on a regular basis? Or to just pass the time? I don't watch near as much TV as I used to, opting instead to listen to music, surf the web, or play video games. But these are the ones watch religiously:
The Practice
I was not a big fan of this show until this season. The addition of the awesome James Spader and the beautiful Rhona Mitra breathed new life into the stuck show. I'm glad they decided to get rid of the whiny (in the actual show) Dylan McDermott and Lara Flynn Boyle.
Seriously, if you have nothing to watch on Sunday nights at 9PM CST (don't know what time that is elsewhere), give The Practice a chance. The producers have pretty much let Spader control the show, giving him the most screen time. And it's not because he was a star before, it's because his character is so damn interesting. He's so interesting that ABC has decided to cancel The Practice after this season and make a spin-off based on Spader and his lust interest, Mitra.
If you like the anti-hero, you'll like Spader's character. He fights for the little guy, and in doing so, breaks the laws he has sworn to follow. He also finds redemption in helping people that can't help themselves, after being a greedy anti-trust lawyer. I love characters like this.
Still Standing
Even if this is Married With Children-lite, it still makes me laugh. The fat dad is hilarious to watch, and makes me wonder what kind of dad I'll be.
Those are really the only two shows I have to watch each week. Of course I watch King of Queens, American Idol (the fiance loves this show), Everybody Loves Raymond, and the many Law & Order's. But if I miss one of these shows, it won't bother me.
The only shows I watch repeats of are Married With Children and Seinfeld, two brilliant shows and two of the best ever made.
What do you watch? (I'm sure this will turn into a Shield and 24 thread, two shows I can't get into, but oh well)
