Favorite Television Show - Calgarypuck Forums - The Unofficial Calgary Flames Fan Community

I was just wondering what the television shows that you really like are.

Personally I am a big fan of the following

Third Watch
Arrested Development
Scrubs
ER (well mainly just the ones that they did in Africa)
Biography (if it is a good one)
Hockey Night in Canada (a classic)

sometimes if I am bored I will flip CSI or something like that on but those are the shows I will tune in to watch. Also I should mention there is a show called Classic Albums.

butch patterson - lines like, "here's a c-note, give me sixteen vodka tonics and a ham sandwich."

and who could forget the unholy fox trio of simpsons, family guy, and futurama?

Scrubs - the most underrated comedy on TV IMHO
Simpsons
HNIC/Any Flames game
I can watch any CFL game anytime
Craig Kilborn, but it's done now
Daily Show
SNL
Family Guy
Last Comic Standing - the only 'reality' show I can stomach

Really? It was cancelled?

That is great news, Kilborn was awful.

I thought it was pretty good - to each his own though

Apparently it wasn't cancelled, he "moved on" to pursue acting. I guess that amazing performance he gave in Old School got him going...

Ya for sure, to each his own. He was actually kinda funny in Old School. I beleive him and Vince Vaughn are good buddies so I bet you see him wind up in alot more Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn or Will Ferrel comedies.

I would make my list, but I will wait till Fotze makes his since ours were similiar during a thread like this before.

Big Brother

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if that's exactly what his plans are. He can probably pull it off too.

I love in the bonus material of the Old School DVD where he says to the little girl "what are you, ######ed?". Cracks me up just thinking about it.

The Simpsons
NASA board room:
"Maybe we should tell them that the apes we sent into space came back super-intelligent."
An Ape turns around in a chair and says in a superb english accent
"No, we won't be telling them that."
That whole episode was great

Frasier (the older ones)
Seinfeld (though the reruns get old)
Scrubs (its very off-the-wall)
Arrested Development (very well-written)
Monk (funny show...)
Family Guy (don't like it as much as some do)
King of the Hill (its more subtle than most funnies)

I'm into the funnies

Just for Laughs: Gags

That is the worst show ever... look he falls into a hole, but he really didn't....

Actually it is funny to see stupid confused frenchmen, but hell couldn't we go to some sort of government office to see that?

The Daily Show...god thats hilarious. Except when the guests are stupid actors or trying-to-act-cool politicians.

i love when a guest just stinks, like natalie portman, and jon is able to spice up the interview.

also i'd bet not one guest of the republican convention is a regular watcher of the show, because john mccain sure made some fun of bush on it!

Mean Mr. Mustard · 09-01-2004, 08:57 PM

Don't talk trash about natalie portman I love her and some day I am going to marry her.... when she is drunk ..... in vegas ....... and her political beliefs change ......

Mean Mr. Mustard · 09-01-2004, 09:00 PM

I know I just want to know whether the donate money to CP for a good sig (one I can't make) is still in effect. But Boy do I like the Beatles....

hey i think natalie portman is a very beautiful woman, and a decent actress. it's rare that i remember actors from their child roles (heat with pacino et al).

but she was dead weight on stewart's show, literally one of the worst interviews i have ever seen not on jay leno.

and good luck with the marriage thing, she would be a great sugar-mama!
