  • House
  • 24
  • Nip/Tuck
  • The Hills
  • Grey's Anatomy

The best TV show by about 300% is Battlestar Galactica.

Everything else doesn't matter.

What about family guy? or do you not get it in europe?

Those shows do all suck, but… you like HGTV? That's probably the gayest channel ever, tied closely with TLC which you also included.

I like HGTV because I'm into home improvement and design, not arts fartsy home makeovers and all that. Those show are all garbage, really. Except for Steve Watson's on Saturday mornings, but that will probably flop, because it's so atypical. Come to think of it, TLC really doesn't do much good anymore, do they?

Also, I'm not in Europe. I think Family Guy is horrible.

Oh, I see. I guess when I think of HGTV I think of my mom watching shitty shows about how to plant a better garden, so I'm biased… that's a bit different. TLC I've never seen anything good on at all, but since I don't check it regularly maybe I'm missing something.

Hello ethan. I AGREE!

I must point out Heroes has been excellent and Lost does have it's moments (about 5 per season) but with Dini and now Brian K. Vaughn at Lost I'm sure it will get better.
