What was the latest tv show you watched?...

Postby DanielJones » Thu Aug 12, 2010 2:55 am

What was the latest tv show you watched? Could be a sitcom, a series or a cooking or how to show. Heck even cartoons count.

This evening we watched Man vs Wild with Edward 'Bear' Grylls. One episode was a tropical island survival & the other was up in the wilds of Alaska. Very informative and worth the watch. I'm always interested in learning new survival skill sets.

Cheers!

The old lady hi-jacked the remote and I watched "Big Brother". Now, I'm watching re-runs of Cops. She loves reality television.

Yeah, I'm a big Man vs. Wild fan. I wouldn't exactly call everything he does great survival advice for the average human being, and a good bit of it is staged, but Bear is the real deal and one tough SOB. And on top of that, the show is extremely entertaining.

Ghost Hunters on SyFy.

I watch Ghost Hunters International, because they still seem relatively legitimate, even if I don't always agree with their assessments of the data. As for the original Ghost Hunters, I think Jason and Grant's credibility is in question.

On the SYFY channel I've been watching the new show "Fact or Faked". Like a lot of these shows the investigations are truncated for TV and edited for drama but are still interesting. Plus I think that one female investigator is really cute.

I'm up late and there isn't much on except Maury and documentaries on prison.

Have to agree with that sentiment. :) But I'm afraid I can't get behind the show as a whole.

I have just gotten into 24 and I'm hooked. I don't watch much TV most of the time now but have been watching this show via netflix.

Ok you got me. The female investigator is my primary interest in the show. :lol:
