Did you buy it?

Lassie
Beavis & Butthead

Seriously, I don't know 90% of the shows mentioned here. I gave up TV in 1988 (my first year of law school) and haven't had cable in my house since then. In fact, for the past 5 years I haven't had a TV at all. I gave away my Sony big screen.

It's easy to keep up with the news: I read newpapers! Old fashioned, I know. Plus there are a zillion ways to keep up with everything else online. Since I'm single I eat out all the time and visit friends frequently. So I get my TV fix whenever it happens to be on wherever I happen to be at the time. After 2 or 3 days of TV exposure, I'm more than happy to go for weeks without it. For sports, I'll catch the key games at a bar somewhere over lunch or dinner.

I've got the Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Beavis & Butthead and Sopranos stuff on DVD and will probably collect several more series, but I generally prefer full length feature films and concert DVDs.

Ok, I never really watched Lassie. I was just trying make a point about how out of touch I am with all things TV-related during the past 20 years.

Arrested Development - I love this show! I think it has to be one of the funniest shows I've ever watched.

"Oh, no, no. I’m not in the group yet. No, I’m afraid I just blue myself."



edit: Dead Like Me was a good show that should have kept going.

HBO's Carnivale

. Lasted 2 seasons and was a running story (the seasons didn't "wrap up" the story at the end)...

EyeAmEye and Superpredator feel my pain.

HBO's "The Wire" Arguably the most realistic drug crime show on television.

Fear Factor was always fun to watch

x2 on the Dead like me. The final episode took a huge chunk of my hopes when it snuck up to bite me on the ***. I instantly think of that and am scared of showtime handling weeds and dexter the same way. Thankfully, they aren't.

How could I forget Invader Zim? Gosh, who doesn't love Gir.

I can't believe that only one person has mentioned 'Freaks and Geeks' and 'Undeclared'. 'Undeclared' was a little rougher than 'Freaks...' but it still had it's moments.

My list would include:

'Freaks and Geeks'
'Undeclared'
'The Winner' - A sitcom produced by Seth MacFarlane starring Rob Corddry aired a half dozen episodes on Fox.
'Arrested Development'
