I am addicted to video games, especially retro gaming from my era. I have: NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Gameboy, GBA, Wii, Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Dreamcast, PS1, PS2, Xbox, and Xbox 360. I have probably over 1,000 games in total for all these systems combined. Yes, I need help and I wouldn't have it any other way! This is my passion and hey my wife still loves me!!

Favorites:

Seinfeld
Spaced (Recommended if you like Simon Pegg and Nick Frost)
Arrested Development
The Wire

Can't Stand:

Reality TV shows (it seems like 90% of these shows is about whining and arguing over nothing)
formulaic comedies

I had a hard time with Spaced, but I wanted to really enjoy it.

Right now I've been watching only two shows that are currently airing, everything else is Netflix or DVD :P

The Big Bang Theory and The Office are regulars for my wife and I.

I also enjoy some of the paranormal and cryptozoology shows like Ghost Hunters, Destination Truth, MonsterQuest, Paranormal State and Ghost Adventures but we ditched our cable so only catch those online sometimes.

As far as Netflix and DVD take us? Oh man, talk about treasure troves...

Firefly (one of my all time favorites)
Red Dwarf (again, one of my all time favorites)
The Muppet Show
Black Adder
The Twilight Zone
Eerie Indiana
The IT Crowd
Boy Meets World
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
The X-Files


We'll also pop in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show from time to time, and get the itch for the occasional Saved by the Bell :)

Really, the only show that comes to mind that I absolutely cannot stand is TMZ. <shudder>

In reverse order:

I don't "hate" any show really, but Family Guy after season two is akin to "Meet the Spartans". It's "remember this?" humor and nothing else. Poorly written junk. But, good on Seth for making it run for so long and taking advantage of the average idiot.

I do LOVE a few shows. First being The Sports Reporters. It's on ESPN 9:30est, and it's one of the only shows on ESPN that features educated reporters who aren't afraid to ask questions such as "why does espn not feature anyone who is winning in golf? Why do we only see clips of Tiger, who is only dropping in the rankings?" plus "Enough with LeBron". It's just four educated journalists speaking, something you hardly ever see on espn (I mean seriously, K.Johnson is labeled as an analyst? The guy can't do simple math).

The Office is quite hilarious, but since I know I can catch it on Hulu, I don't always watch it.

LOVE The Soup. Watch it in the morning rather than the "live" show on Friday nights. It's mindless fun, but at it's best.

I also like the absurdity of The Steve Wilkos Show, when I can watch it.

As you can probably see, I don't like much "real people" television. I prefer cartoons, because they are generally funnier (to me), and are much more unique as far as look and style go. Plus, I want to be entertained, and realistic just doesn't entertain as well as blatantly unrealistic and ridiculous can. And yes, this list is for all time, not just new stuff.
