Any TV shows you're watching at the moment you want to share in hopes of getting people interested? Want to brag or just bored? Just talk about them over here!
So what have I been watching a lot lately?
Well, I still keep on watching The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air every day. And thanks to reruns, I pretty much seen the whole series at least 40 times already. Same for all the classic Tom & Jerry cartoons ("The Bodyguard" and "Mouse Trouble" are my top favourite shorts that you all should watch at least once!!!!!) Otherwise, also watching plenty of Scooby-Doo and Pinky & The Brain. Also watching the Dreamstone after being reminded of it after a veeeeeeeery long time. And The Legion of Super Heroes got me real interested in the comic book series and characters themselves. Tis a good watch.
Only anime stuff I'm watching at the moment (legally) are the Yu-Gi-Oh! series, mostly GX and 5D's (mind you, I was already a big fan before any Abridged Series appeared). All dubbed. Now I know what you're thinking: "But Frobman! Those are all dubbed by 4Kids! The Scum of the Earth in Anime dubbing!" Well, yeah, they do mess up when it comes to translations and edits, but I still like to watch them. Especially the second and third seasons of GX. Those are purposely done in a Gag dub sort of way, after a certain internet parody series got popular and noticed. (plus, their best shows by far are TMNT and Ultimate Muscle, to name a few. Especially if you considered that the Japanese studios made a second season of Ultimate Muscle long after it was cancelled in Japan, thanks to the US ratings)
I'd also recommend two comedies I'm watching now, the unfortunately cancelled Arrested Development (watching on DVDs with big bro) and what could pretty much be considered a Saturday Night Live spin-off, 30 Rock. Check 'em out!
I think I babbled long enough. And I'll leave it at that for the time being.

I started "The Venture Bros", which is a pretty good god darn' funny cartoon from [adult swim] and pretty well done.. Oh and many Scooby Doo stuff (including the new show "Mystery Inc." and the previous one "Shaggy & Scooby), I guess I'll write something about that for my blog one of these days

Well i'm started to watch Freakazoid on youtube. When i was younger all i can remember was the intro. But this is a pretty funny show of a demented superhero.
Also I seem to be getting into QI. Its a comedy panel gameshow which is hilarious and educational.

As well as being a half hour show to make fun of Alan Davis and trick you with trick questions on every opportunity~! I watch it whenever it's on, and both brothers just love it!

recently theres a series on BBC1 on Saturday Nights called 'Merlin'. Its a retelling of the Arthurian legend where Merlin is a lowly servant of Prince Arthur, who lives in camelot with his father, King Uther. Uther wanted to exterminate the world of magic. Now, Merlin has magical abilities and uses it to save camelot from whatever monster or magical force theatens it on a weekly basis. If you like Fantasy, this is a good show, especially the comedy between Merlin & Arthur

Most shows already started their season as of now. So I'm following Chuck (which I have a sort of love-hate relation with... currently? ok~), Castle (a great spiritual successor to detective comedy series "Monk"!), Fringe season 4 (incredible!!) and Undercovers (JJAbrams new spy show)! I only watch what I like, meaning, I don't really follow popular stuff I'm not interested into

Speaking of new seasons, I'm already watching new House (just cause I like watching House) and have already watched the season finale of Chuck season 3 yesterday, since it was the UK premier. Luckily, the 4th season will start soon here, later in the month.
Other than that, I shall be waiting for the new seasons of Modern Family, South Park and 30 Rock, as well as Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc and Batman the Brave and the Bold, whenever they appear on UK Channels. That, and I'm currently watching the Avengers micro-episodes on Marvel, and I'm already liking it so far. And it shall be starting here soon, later in the month on Disney XD. (That, and new Phineas and Ferb)
Well, that's pretty much it. Oh, and more Yu-Gi-Oh! GX when available.

I've been mainly watching Mock the Week, old re-runs of Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Ninja Warrior(Japanese game show, featuring ninja challenges), re-runs of Blackadder, South Park and Metalocalypse. Most 'new' shows on TV are either boring or just plain crap i.e. Jeremy Kyle Show.

Don't watch too much TV. Mostly just the news, but in terms of shows I watch Hell's Kitchen, Biggest Loser, Adventure Time, Big Bang Theory, Cops, Cheaters, and Campus PD. Hell's Kitchen is basically a bunch of (supposedly) gourmet chefs competing to win $25,000 and become head chef at a 5 star restaurant. But come on, we all watch it just to see Gordon Ramsay scream obscenities at the contestants. Biggest Loser is about over weight Americans getting their asses kicked by physical trainers to get them into shape and literally change their whole lifestyle so they can stay firm and fit. Adventure Time is a cartoon show that follows Finn (originally Pinn) and his magic dog Jake as they help out people in this magic land. The show really needs a certain sense of humor in order to like it, but I think everyone here would like it. It's very surreal and makes fun of how soft and cuddly cartoon shows are sometimes like Care Bears and the Smurfs. Big Bang Theory is a sitcom involving 4 nerds and a girl. It's funny to see the contrasting personalities blending as well as they do, but Sheldon Cooper really steals the show half the time. Cops. Come on, it's Cops. We all know Cops. Campus PD is pretty much the exact same as Cops except they're College/University security arresting drunk College kids. Cheaters is a show were a person hires a team of private investigators to spy on their significant other to find out if they're cheating on them. It's usually the same general thing but sometimes you get an unusual treat. What makes this show even more cool is that it's filmed in the same city I live in so it's fun to say "HEY I KNOW WHERE THEY ARE!" when watching.
