Originally Posted By disney pete hopemax i like spooks aswell,chris ive watched life on mars once and couldnt seem to get into it,i hate it when i miss the first couple of episodes of things and then dont watch them as i cant catch up like heroes or lost or fringe i even fancied desperate housewives (a bit girlie)but missed the first few,but the ones ive mentioned are truly addictive.

I was hooked hooked hooked on LOST the first two seasons, but then I GOT LOST by missing a few episodes and now I don't even watch it at all. Life on Mars is THE ABSOLUTE best example of not understanding the show if you get out of sync with it, especially if you miss the first couple. I too love "everybody loves raymond." Good funny TV. Life according to Jim is a good one sort of like Raymond but not exactly.

Yeah, its like I'm back in L.A. . And Two and a half men basically comes on two and a half times everyday here . Ironically I never seen an episode of it until I moved to Sydney.

Letting the day slide by while starting with the network morning news shows, then on to 'regis & kelly' then to 'the view', and surf over and catch some game shows like 'price is right', 'family fued' and 'trivial pursuit', then hang tough until 'ellen' and 'oprah' and 'peoples court' come on - this is great entertainment to me. Come prime time, it's usually just a variety of different cops and doctors - most of them interchangeable. So I like american tv too - just the stuff that's on in the middle of the day.

Originally Posted By hopemax Unfortunately, for alexbook 3 of those 4 listed shows, probably aren't coming back next season...so then it will be 99% garbage. We watch all of those too.
