Not to knock Bill Nye of course.

You Sir, hold your standards too high. Plus I love alternate dimensions so Fringe is awesome.

the world could use more Sci-Fi shows so I'm not going to knock the only ones available:usehead:

watching a lot of the English version of Fort Boyart just to see the big-titted MC girl running around with her tits bouncing

it's a competitive reality show set on an old Fort guarding the French coastline against the English

Modern Family which might be the best thing I've seen in a long time.

The entire Thursday Night NBC lineup from 8-11; Community, Perfect Couples, Park & Rec, The Office, 30 Rock, Outsourced.

Tosh.0 when I catch it.

Everything else I could take or leave. I loved Walking Dead but I can never figure out how the Premium channels run things.

And I never miss Hardball.

I love Modern Family. I can relate to so many of their issues!

Ed O'Neil still owns. One of the better comedic actors and he never gets any credit. The episode where they celebrate Lilly's Birthday Party I nearly hyperventilated.

I think that has to be the best episode so far.

The difference between the X Files and Fringe is that the X Files went through paranormal activity with the idea that there could be a scientific explanation. Fringe goes with the idea that everything in the show definitely has a scientific basis and, in fact, comes from someone's research. That's why it always ends with a tidy science lesson.

Granted, there are some inaccuracies that bug me as a scientist (like figuring out an organism's genome in roughly an hour), but that's the same with any show. The only show where it gets so bad that I can't even watch it is CSI.

I've actually seen some of the later episodes, and they are more interesting, but the earlier ones were pretty formulaic. They were just wannabe X-Files but with far less interesting characters. The two main characters just do nothing for me. Except for Walter. He's the only really good character.

Yeah, **** CSI. Every time David Caruso from CSI: Miami opens his mouth my blood pressure goes up. Ginger headed son of a bitch.:bringit:

Awww I love CSI. The only ones I keep up with is the Vegas and the Ny one. I really hate the Miami version.

has anyone been watching Shameless on Showtime? it's pretty good, but Macys' overacting hurts so much of it. I'm a big fan of the premise, and it's pretty damn funny too.
