The only show I watch religiously is Lost. Although I am a fan of That 70's Show.

Only thing I have been really stuck on is BSG. Most of the good stuff is no longer in production. Still waiting to see something original and new that isn't a remake or ripoff, just like movies.

Drive! - Killer new show.
24 - Any show where the main character uses a cigar snip to chop the finger off a Russian Ambasador is OK in my book!
Robin Hood - BBC slant on the legend. Pretty good.
House - Sarcastic & Brilliant. He's what I aspire to become.
Heroes - VERY cool show.
BSG - Didn't like the 1st Season. Been hooked from Season 2 on.. Kinda miss Starbuck..

I gave up on Lost, all I have been watching regularly is BSG and Heroes but only because Chris tapes them for me since I don't have a tv at the moment.
But that doesn't matter since most of my favorite shows are on dvd, so I just watch them on my computational device.
As you probably have already guessed I love Futurama
But I also love Firefly, Keen Eddie and a lot of other stuff Fox has canceled. Also the Adult Swim line up and a lot of other cartoons, Spaced, Monty Python's Flying Circus, and Hetty Wainthrop Investigates.

And that's not all, its the varaity in which I watch them,
the other night I started with "The Day the Earth Stood Still" then went on to "Santanico Pandimonium" (which for those who dont know is about a nun who has sex with the devil then starts killing people so she can become mother superior, and its from Mexico!)
Then I rounded off the evning with some Hetty Wainthrop Investigates!

For those not aware, 'Santanica Pandemonium' was the name of Salma Hayeks character in 'From Dusk til Dawn'. Inspired from a movie poster for the movie...

I'm up tonight (because I was able to convince my manager to let me work from home two nights a week dancing ) watching Episode III. I actually forgot how much I liked it. So many little subtle things..

(And then of course ther is the twelik at the concert... drooling )

Seriously though.., very cool movie in the series! cool

Do you guys (and gal) agree that it was the best of the prequels? (I think this is a given)
