Where did all the good TV go?

[Hutch2004]

What the hell has happened to all the good tv? There's bugger all on, near enough every single night, apart from one night a week, where they might have something half decent. "Celebrity" Big Brother is a big part of the problem, usually Channel 4 can be depended on to have something watchable on, but they seem to have devoted their entire schedule to this.

So, to the point of this thread, when's the good stuff coming? What are you looking forward to this year?

[therockbox]

24 starts this month, and then the second part of Lost in February.

Battlestar Galactica has just started up again, and judging by last night's episode (season 3 opener) it's going to be fantastic.

The good stuff died away when TV companies realised that "Reality TV" was cheap to make and people are stupid enough to pay £10 a night voting 200 times for generic homosexual with tourette's to stay in a room suspended 350 feet in the air where the contestants must anally rape crocodiles to earn food.

And umm... there isn't much that I'm looking forward to because everything is boring these days. Britain needs more Sitcoms.

[Hutch2004]

Correction. It needs more GOOD sitcoms. And not new BBC sitcoms that are cancelled after one week.

Check, so Febuary for Lost. Although I have to download it now it's on SkyOne.

Because I can't be arsed dredging up the topic, and seem as though it's quite relevant, when's the next episodes of Heroes on, or is that the lot for now? I honestly can't get my head around how TV works in the US.

[Fitzy]

Heroes returns on the 22nd here in the US so if you get them within a few days of the airing here, you should expect them in a couple of weeks.

Same with Studio 60, the greatest show on television.

[Rashid]

I'll watch House now and then. Supernatural is returning tomorrow to start off Season 2 Part 2.

Really, the only new/current shows I watch regularly.

I like My Name is Earl also.

Most of my TV watching is syndicated shows though.

I'm looking forward to The Sopranos in April. I never watched it until a few months ago when I caught a few old episodes on late at night. Now I'm in the middle of borrowing all my friend's DVDs so I can catch up in time for when the 2nd half of season 6 starts. Right now I'm half way through season 4 and wondering how the hell could I skip over such an awesome show for so long. Shame the only time I'll catch new episodes is right before it goes off the air. Oh well, better late than never.

On top of that, I wish I knew when the fuck season 7 of Trailer Park Boys starts.

[stokeriño]

Top Gear returns. Sunday 28th January.

BOOK IT.

[Benji]

Torchwood, Doctor Who, Scrubs and potentially Futurama depending, I'm not sure what the situation is on that.

[lari]

Lost is the best thing on TV since Twin Peaks.

24 starts this month, and then the second part of Lost in February.

Battlestar Galactica has just started up again, and judging by last night's episode (season 3 opener) it's going to be fantastic.

Add to that the new series of Nip/Tuck that started Monday, and the new series of Prison Break starting this Monday coming.

I'm in a similar boat. Trying to catch up through previous seasons after only starting to watch it a couple months ago. I bought seasons 1-3 so far, currently only one episode into season 2. And the worst part is, I probably won't be able to watch new episodes live being in a place where HBO isn't possible.

[Steeb]

Prison Break, Doctor Who, Top Gear and whatever new Channel 4 panel show comes out this year, will be more than enough for me.

[stokeriño]

Just discovered in the Metro that a new series of Mock The Week starts on BBC2 tonight. Bonus.

[Steeb]

Oooh! What time?

[stokeriño]

Re-runs of Jamie Oliver's School Diners...or, maybe not...
