Fave TV Series and shows

[Kendrick]

I barely watch Tv nowadays since most of my time are allotted for my work, but when I do I just watch UFC fights and NBA.

I like BONES series

Bones is an American comedy-drama television series. The show is based on forensic anthropology and forensic archaeology, with each episode focusing on an FBI case file concerning the mystery behind human remains brought by FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth (he is often used to provide a layman's translation of the scientific jargon-filled dialog. He is known for his ability to guess people's motives) to the forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan (She is a logical empiricist, known for her rational, more so than social skills. Her lack of social skills provides most of the show's lighthearted humor).

A new favourite of mine:

The Big C is a Showtime original series created by Darlene Hunt and starring Laura Linney. Linney plays Cathy Jamison, a reserved suburban wife and mother whose recent cancer diagnosis forces her to shake up her life and find hope, humor and the light side of a dark situation, while managing her immature but well-meaning husband, played by Oliver Platt. It drew the largest audience for Showtime in eight years for an original series premiere. Guest appearances by Gabourey Sidibe, Cynthia Nixon, Liam Neeson, and Idris Elba.

I've recently started watching some foreign channels like Zone Reality (European), History, TLC (American), as well as some French channels and more. A programme of Zone Reality I discovered today and I instantly fancied is "Who Do You Think You Are?". It deals with celebrrities tracing their Family Tree. Watched the episode with David Dickinson and we find out he's half Armenian and even travells to Istanbul to learn more about his ancestors. Have any of you watched it and what do you think about it?

'Who Do You Think You Are?' is amazing!! I didnt watch the last series cuz my Mum stupidly told me it was the American version so I didnt bother watching it but once it finished she told me it was the British one :evil: .
I've watched every other series though and being interested in History I find them a really good watch, especially the ones to do with slavery and the Empire .

I caught that program a few times this last summer and it actually was quite interesting. I saw an episode about Lisa Kudrow who traced her heritage back to Belarus/Poland and ended up finding a cousin who survived the holocaust. The other episode I saw was about Brooke Shields who ended up finding out that shes descends from French royalty and is related to a saint. Who knew!

 

[94ayd]

SO COOOOOOOL! But that's actually the American version. Did you know there's a CANDADIAN one, actually? Check wikipedia for more information. There's also an Australian one, as well as an Irish one? From the non-Eglis-spealing countries: Israeli and Swedish. Ah, there's a South African, too.

Oh the Canadian one probably aired on our national television, CBC, which nobody watches except for sports coverage. I think I watched the American one because it just aired this summer. I don't think the Canadian one airs anymore (not that I've checked either!).

Yup, it seems the only series that have aired so far, did so in the autumn/winter of 2007/2008...

Mhm CBC always remakes British series that nobody watches. The American version of 'Who Do You Think You Are" aired on a commercial Canadian channel as well.

A huge favourite of mine and quite possibly the best writing for a television series ever:

Damages is an American television drama series created by the writing and production trio of Daniel Zelman and brothers Glenn and Todd A. Kessler (collectively known as KZK). The series revolves around the brilliant, yet ruthless lawyer, Patty Hewes (Glenn Close), her protégée, Ellen Parsons (Rose Byrne), and the law firm, Hewes & Associates (located in New York City). The debut season finds Hewes attempting to win a class-action lawsuit against the former CEO of a corporation (Ted Danson) on behalf of his former workers. Damages has received critical acclaim and numerous television awards, including a Golden Globe and three Emmy Awards for its first season. The show is noted for its nonlinear narrative, frequent use of plot twists, technical merit, season-long storylines and the acting prowess of its cast.

Here is a trailer for the first season for anyone who might be interested:

I caught the pilot episode of that one as well recently while going through the channels. Gonna tape it from now on, the start showed a lot of promise! I also just finished watching season 3 of "True Blood" (can't wait for season 4!) and started following "Glee".
