Rodeo, Life On The Circuit on history television. Surprisingly high quality and really well done. And local subject matter.

I find I spend most of my non-hockey TV viewing on either the Military Channel....(lots of WWII stuff on there lately) or Discovery channel... (Dirty Jobs and Mythbusters are always reliable)

Just watched the season premiere of Traffic Lights, which is replacing Running Wilde on Fox. I was pleasantly surprised. Usually mid season shows are horrible but this show had me hooked right from the get go. Kind of reminds me of The League.

House Hunters International. Even though the show seems very contrived and the Realtors bug me, I often think to myself, "what the hell am I doing here?" when the show features a tropical destination. I could see myself living in Belize either part time or forever.

I stopped watching Television a while ago, ill PVR dragons den and watch that while i eat or something but i find television boring most of the time. Plus a lot of writing makes no logical sense and to me that is annoying.

For anyone who enjoyed "Planet Earth" or "Life" by BBC, they're currently running a pretty awesome series called "Human Planet". I've enjoyed it so far.

Any recommendations for other shows along those lines?

I've only watched the first 2 episodes but It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is my new favorite sitcom.

Actually it is my only favorite sitcom.

As far as comedy goes I haven't like a sitcom since Lucky Louie.

The show keeps getting better until the end of the 3rd season, then it is completely awesome and stays that way. For some reason, Artemis is in all of the great episodes ('gang dances their asses off', 'who pooped the bed?' 'The gang gets invincible.')

The Venture bros is awesome, except they average around 8 episodes a year.

I'm re-watching Lost, totally different show the second time around.

I just started Lost on Netflix. I think I am on Season 1 Episode 15, and I've never watched it before, ever. I think that watching it all in a row gets repetitive but I am really impressed by it so far and enjoying it. Glad Netflix has the whole series.

Is anyone else watching Face Off on Space? It is a elimination reality show where the contestants are special effects make-up artists. I think it's pretty cool.

I got lost watching Lost. After the first season the plot becomes more complicated and confusing to follow. I stopped watching as it was filled with too many subplots. I will admit I watched the final episode to see if they got off the island.
