Rank the shows you're watching each week

[Andrew]

I know we've got the individual threads for different TV shows and we should definitely put them to use, but I thought it might be fun if in addition to the discussion going on in those threads if we each post the shows we're watching each week during the television season and rank them in order of which show you found most entertaining.

I'll begin.

This Week:

1. Californication (Season 3 Premiere, "Wish You Were Here")
2. The Simpsons (Season 21 Premiere, "Homer the Whopper")
3. Family Guy (Season 8 Premiere, "Road to the Multiverse")
4. The Cleveland Show (Pilot)

Californication easily gets my top spot this week. The Simpsons was probably the best of the animated shows for me but still a bit too bland. Family Guy wasn't too far behind it, but the Cleveland Show easily drops to last place.

[Oznogrd]

1. Californication-Easily the best season premiere this week. I also love this show and hank's antics...full of win.
2. Dexter-While i didnt agree with every move in the premiere, theres some promise
3. The Office (The Meeting)-While the writing isnt as good as it used to be, michael is still entertaining.
4. Simpsons-Felt like it had been done like 13 times..but wasnt horrid
5. FG-Also, felt like it had been done before...but wasnt bad
6. Cleveland Show-Do I have to actually admit to watching this? Bring back mike judge and kick seth mcfarlane out on his ass.

[Lamrock]

1. Curb Your Enthusiasm - Epic win as always
2. Entourage - Show has gotten pretty bad, but its entertaining still
3. The Office - Way past its prime. Writers can't seem to get a grip on the show's main character, and there is no real plot any more.
4. Bored To Death - Awful. Jason Schwartzman is overrated.

HBO is pretty much the only channel I watch any more.

I'd actually add two network shows that weren't really mentioned here before, at the risk of being crucified:

1. Flash Forward - I thought it was a pretty entertaining pilot, I like the premise and it always gets my attention when some sort of apocalyptic aftermath is involved.
2. The Office - see below
3. Fringe - It certainly has tons of flaws, but I was kind of a sucker for the X Files when it was at its peek, and this fills in the void a little bit for me, it keeps me entertained at least. This was the 2nd episode of the new season I believe.
4. The Simpsons - Not overly impressed with the season premiere as I mentioned in the other thread, but it had some good moments and was obviously far better than:
5. Family Guy
...
99. The Cleveland Show - why even watch the second episode after this?

EDIT: I just watched The Office online and liked that episode too so I added it. It's kind of a surprising move, and Michael was once again being a dick, but I thought the ending was pretty good.

(not counting this week's House)

1. Modern Family
2. House 2 Hour Special
3. Family Guy
4. Bones
5. Cougar Town
6. American Dad
7. Simpsons


The Family Guy, Bones, and Cougar Town episodes were pretty much a tie for me on how entertained i was by them,

and the more i've thought about it, the less and less I was impressed by the Simpsons' episode, even though it wasn't a bad one.



Cleveland doesn't deserve to be on this list

[J@3]

1 - Ultimate Fighter 10
Great entertainment, the coaches are fantastic and it's good to see the big guys fighting for a change.

2 - Smallville
It's back.. sort of. People hated the Doomsday episode of last season but I really like where things are heading so far. It's almost unrecognizable compared to what the show used to be like.

3- Dexter
I can never find fault in it.The only thing that bothers me is that I watched the leaked episode and now I have to wait extra long for the second.

4 - The Office
Still makes me laugh, not as much as before and I don't enjoy it so much watching one episode a week (as opposed to 3-4 in a row)

[Null17]

Can't believe you rank TUF as #1. Though, this is the only TUF I've watched since season 1. Roy Nelson's the primary reason.

Big Bang Theory
How I Met Your Mother
Dexter
Mad Men (I don't know anyone else who watches this)
Entourage
Heroes
TUF

[J@3]

I love TUF, I've watched every season like twice each.

[Null17]

At least they don't have those stupid challenges like they used to have season 1 now. It's just that the level of talent has lowered since season 1. Not watching TUF's probably why I don't know half the people on the UFC prelims.

[benji]

Let's see, it was probably something like:
1. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
2. Cougar Town
3. Curb Your Enthusiasm
4. Psych
5. Monk
6. American Dad!
7. Top Chef
8. Parks and Recreation
9. The Big Bang Theory
10. Community
11. Modern Family
12. Project Runway
13. Bizarre World with Andrew Zimmern
14. Hell's Kitchen
15. Bored to Death

16. Jay Leno Show
17. Conan
18. Survivor

I'm intentionally not watching Hell's Kitchen so I can watch the whole season in a row. It would have been in the top 3 otherwise.

[buzzy]

1. Sunny
2. Dexter
3. Monk
4. The Office
5. The Simpsons
6. Two And a Half Men
7. American Dad

Still have some TUF and Californication episodes to watch.

[ixcuincle]

2. The Jay Leno Show
3. Community
4. Hell's Kitchen US
5. The Office US

[NovU]

I'm not a TV guy but I have been really enjoying X-Factor. In someways, it's a lot more entertaining than American Idol kind of stuff since I think they're running out of ideas or wow factors.

[Joe']

1. Californication
2. Dexter
3. Big Bang Theory
4. Cougar Town
5. The Office
6. How I Met Your Mother (very disappointed with this actually)
7. Hell's Kitchen
8. Two and a Half Men
9. Gary Unmarried
10. New Kelsey Grammer Show
11. The Middle
...
997. Bored to Death (it really was awful)

I also watched the new Jenna Elfman show. Not very proud of it, though, that's why I'm not ranking it. I'm also still catching up with Weeds.

[kibaxx7]

I would say, off the top of my head:

The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien
Saturday Night Live (Megan Fox last weekend, my god)
The Big Bang Theory
30 Rock
Heroes
Burn Notice

[Lamrock]

Shit, forgot SNL. That was even worse than Bored To Death. Every sketch was awful.

[kibaxx7]

Shit, forgot SNL. That was even worse than Bored To Death. Every sketch was awful.

Yeah but having Megan there in the mix just makes everything perfect.
