What are UKARians watching on TV?

[Tommy]

We have a music thread and a books thread, I figured I'd ask what UKAR are watching (or re-watching) on the box?

Couple of shows I have got into in the past few months:

Suits (kind of a pre-requisite for a law student )
Breaking Bad
Game of Thrones
Newsroom (somewhat unheard of but it is just fantastic)
Bluestone 42
I'm re-watching all of Blackadder right now and I also found season 1 of Airwolf on DVD for the sum of £2 so I'm getting back into that.

A few others I can't think of right now but those are the ones I'm trying to stay up to date with at the moment.

Nothing really , TV-wise ( I don't do Sky & most terrestrial TV is garbage )
On the DVD front , though.......
Both series of 'Game of Thrones' ( understandable why they don't , but I wish they followed the books more )
Only just finished watching a back-to-back-fest of both series of 'Hell on Wheels' ( much better than 'Deadwood' & nice to see proper period caplock pistols used , not to mention them sounding like they should )
Oh , and the sex-and-gore-fest that is 'Spartacus' !!

All I'm waiting for now is the DVD release of the last series of 'The Walking Dead' to get my fix of blood , snot & gore !!

Edited to say :
Nearly forgot......been after it for years & now I've finally got it.......the DVD box-set of the '80s television series 'ANZACs' !! ( Still as good as I remembered it )

[tankbuster]

Nothing. I do watch TV but this year the only thing I've seen is the boxed set of the Wire I was given for Christmas. Started it in March and finished it on Sunday. It's difficult to put words to how much I enjoyed it.

[Abingdonman]

Bargain hunt BBC1-Ascot racing C4 -Neighbours C5 -Father Brown BBC2 -The One show BBC1(second half)-Animal heroes ITV -The Route masters BBC2...ooh and,I'll say it softly...wife likes Doctors BBC1 but thats almost a step too far!

Southlands
Chicago Fire
Casualty

Ice Pilots

And looking forward to the return of 24!

Just started watching 'The Americans' on ITV, looks like it has a lot of potential to be a good series and gives many an insight into the 'Cold War' from the Red side.
Apart from that my viewing consists mostly of HBO shows. House of Lies was an excellent piece as is the Newsroom.

[DanH]

I've been watching Hannibal on Living TV. It hasn't really reached the heights I thought it would based on what some people were saying about it. Other than that I tend to watch Pointless quite a lot, and also The Big Bang Theory.

[yannyfoxx]

There's so much amazing TV around, where do you start. Some of these aren't new shows but worth hunting down...

[Father Ted]

I rarely get chance to watch any decent 'telly', these days.

I do, however, make a point of watching 'The Chase' every teatime.
I love to see the Joe Public teams beat the chasers.



We have recently had a You View box installed, so maybe, I'll get to watch/record a bit more of what I'm regularly missing.
(The wife and children 'own' the remote control in our house!)

[Flare Path]

I'm watching England surprise everyone in the ICC Champions Trophy.

[DeanW]

The only TV series I go out of my way to watch at the moment is New Girl!

[LN Strike Eagle]

Confederations Cup.

[AndyXH558]

I currently watch
NCIS, Mythbusters, Dads Army, Allo Allo, Airport Live(brought to you by Airbus), Family Guy, American Dad, Big Bang Theory, Revolution.

[Flare Path]

Confederations Cup.

Two superb fixtures this evening.

[AlexC]

Out of the ones mentioned so far I'd go with The Wire, The Americans, The Walking Dead, The Sopranos, Mad Men, and Dexter. Sadly, all too often I get into a show which subsequently goes on to Sky, and then I'm stuffed! Another one that I like that I don't think has been mentioned is True Blood. Oh, and The White Queen that has only just started. Based on the latter stages of the Wars of the Roses. So far looks reasonably accurate historically speaking.

[timuss]

The Americans
Mythbusters
Fast n Loud
Walking Dead
Ice Pilots
24
Falling Sky's
Wheeler Dealers
Band Of Brothers
The Pacific
Storage Wars

To name a few.

Confederations Cup.

What an unbelievable game tonight!!! Best match I've seen in years. Japan deserved something from it though, and some shocking penalty decisions.

[138EAW]

Just been announced James Gandolfini aka Tony Soprano has died after a "massive heart attack" at the age of 51 Will have to re watch the The Sopranos in honour of him

Just seen this as well, can't quite believe it. Massive fan of 'The Sopranos'. Thoughts go to his family.

Great game; frenetic, end-to-end play. Japan did deserve something from the match, the style of football they play is very easy on the eye - a joy to watch; reminiscent of Brazil, at times.

Same here. The Sopranos was one of the best drama series ever. I've got the whole lot in boxed sets.

[pbeardmore]

Watch less and less TV at the moment and more stuff on DVD etc, working my way through the Westwing at the moment, some of the episodes are way ahead of their time (gun control for example) and the acting is top notch, 2 more episodes tonight. Then thinking about revisiting Hill Street Blues

On paper anway, the bit of the Brazil vs Mexico game I saw was very poor!
