My wife and I recently discovered a show on ABC called Happy Endings which we really like.

How does one forget The Big Bang Theory?!

Currently my lovely wife and daughter are going through all the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel" series episodes on DVDs

My son chooses the wonderful "Sean the sheep" by the creator of "Wallace and Gromit"

Leaving me with the new BBC Sherlock Holmes update "Sherlock" and the utterly wonderful old western TV series "Have Gun, Will Travel"

Well, Life is too short to watch the bad stuff...

Cheers

Jamie

I really enjoy Downton Abbey myself, just started watching Luther which is amazing as well. Also enjoy Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire and Sons of Anarchy.

I found Sherlock extremely disappointing despite the fine acting - the scripts absolutely massacre Conan Doyle's stories.

I only have 4 new/current shows right now that I watch with any regularity: Once Upon a Time, Terra Nova, Grey's Anatomy and Fringe. Since they're all evening shows, and I work most evenings, I have to watch them online. I don't have cable/dish, just broadcast (free), so I don't know anything about any of the other shows that have been mentioned. (I have a digital tuner for my VCR, but it's a little flaky- the tuner, not the VCR, so I can't rely on it much for trying to record those shows. My TV has a digital tuner built in, so I can watch things while I'm home with no trouble.)

I do tend to catch some re-broadcasts of OLD - 'old' being a relative term, with apologies to our members who saw some of these shows the first time around - TV shows on the local digital stations (e.g. 3.2 is 'this.TV', 32.2 is 'Me.TV', 41.2 is 'Antenna.TV')*, but I don't make it a point to watch them all the time. This.TV shows mostly movies (MGM/UA). The other two show things like, 'The Rifleman', 'Adam-12', 'Dragnet', 'Mission:Impossible' (with Peter Graves), 'Hazel', 'Bachelor Father', 'The Jack Benny Show', 'The Burns and Allen Show', 'Hawaii Five-O' (with Jack Lord), etc. You can look up the listings/schedule online and find out if your local stations has one of these services.

* 3.1, 32.1 and 41.1 are some of the local 'main' broadcast channels where the news and current shows are aired.

I just can't get into the walking dead in spite of the show being one of my clients. It's filmed right down the road in Senoia. The highway scenes just above the house on GA20 within sight of Atlanta Motor Speedway. Other scenes are filmed in Griffin, I was called to deal with honeybees on that set. More calming the people problem than an actual bee problem.

BTW that barn has issues skunks, armadillos and rats.
