When you do watch TV, what programmes do you catch? There are just too many stations to sift through. Can you tell I'm too lazy to sift through the chaff?  Got any interesting programmes to share?

We like watching the Japanese physical challenges, Banzuke on the G4 network. Each episode is 30 mins long and there are sooo many interesting challenges involving physical endurance while perched on a bike, skateboard, wheelbarrow, etc. Fun! With language a factor when we lived in Japan, Banzuke was almost all we watched while living there.

Another show we like is on BBC America called How Clean is Your House? OMG, I have never, ever seen such filthy homes!!! With the help of 2 experts, the family in question have to get scrubbing, cleaning and organising to produce a clean and organised dwelling. I just love the shock factor.  You'll cringe when you see the filth.

dp... oops!

just flip the remote lor.....

i have a HD digital box so i get over 100 channels plus time shifting channels too (west coast).  but me hardly watch teebee.  for now, i am watching :

1.  canadian idol (mondays and results no tuesdays)

2.  so u tink u can dance (wednesdays, results on thursdays)

that's about it.  oh but i catch the daily news early in the morning and in the evening.

 just excessive reality TV shows and evening soap I mean after a while i kinda of tired competition on TV after competing at work place. As for evening soap i hardly remember the plot after 1 season if they stop.

I mean i was initially watching Journey man, than it stop, I was watching private practice than it stop, i was watching moonlight than it stop. chuck - it stop, kissing Diasy it stop. elias stone and some other evening soap that I forgot the name.

Ninja warrior rocks.

Streamie, Tuesday nights on ABC @ 8pm, Wipeout. Reminds me of the old Takeshi's Castle. Hilarious. You must watch. Followed by "I survived a Japanese Gameshow".

Arapahoe, Chuck will be back soon. Summer hiatus, all reruns for now. Some shows have been cancelled, to my dismay. Shows like Women's Murder Club which I enjoyed; Lipstick Jungle and many more. I enjoyed Private Practise too but oh well, another one bites the dust.

For now, I'm eagerly awaiting the return of ER, Chuck, Heroes, Grey's Anatomy, The Amazing Race and a few others. On the plus side, Burn Notice is back and so is The Closer. My faves.

i need to watch move tv!

I watched Dexter before. 1 episode. not bad. heh heh

Since you like the detective genre, you'll love The Closer on TNT. I cannot miss an episode. Thank Gawd for DVRs.  You must catch Burn Notice too. USA network. Another PI show.

ooohhhhh....what a letdown, that jiponese game show!  they are spending too much time talking instead of playing games!!!!  tsk...tsk.....reminds me of big brother in view they stay in the same suite?

yah, i dislike her too.  nin nao hia, she saboed the guy in her team.  and crap, some more displayed her acting skills.  chey!

but hey, thanks for recommending wipeout!  it was funny yet painful to watch.  definitely better than the jiponese show.  but i don't know if i'll continue.  i guess as and when bah! :)

They're building up to the season ender. Did you catch it? Even though I've seen all the episodes, I caught the marathon a couple of days ago. If you didn't catch the season finale, Capt Phil may not fish again. Capt Keith had a big hole in the holding tank. All the crab they caught went right back into the ocean.

wah lau eh....u even rem the name of the captain ah?  steady lah!

erm, no ah.  i kinda stopped watching for a while liao.  been busy with other programmes.

Yah I did. Very kan cheong finale.

Don't forget Wipeout tonight.

Oh and I have a new fave shows *adds to already long list* Verminators on Discovery. Have you seen this? I can't believe I'm fascinated by the art of pest extermination.

wipeout sort of die on me liao.  i'm just tune in to canadian idol, so u tink u can dance and america's got talent.  after these, hmm...i don't know what i'll watch.  maybe flashpoint?  have you seen the trailers?  kinda exciting.
