well, it's difficult to say, considering the crappy cable programs we have here in Estonia (the only  good ones are the German and Russian ones, but I don't speak German at all and I can only curse fluently in Russian. Another reason why I prefer subtitling.)

Well, I used to watch B5 and Stargate, but both shows are no longer showing, so the only TV Programme I watch regularly is Cinemania (basically 30 minutes of trailers), and Who Wants to be a Millionaire.

hmm. I don't watch a lot of TV anymore. Not alot on the tube that interests me. I just watch the best one that's currently on. :blah:

What I've been watching lately, though, includes Enterprise, Farscape (s.2), Witchblade(sp?) pilot ep., From The Earth To The Moon (HBO miniseries) :nod:. Other than that, DVD movies. :p

Anyways, apart from SG-1, there's the ever weird Lexx, the always popular X-Files, the uber |33+ Space: Above and Beyond (Go VCD! w00+!) and let's not forget the Crystal Maze reruns on challenge TV. Oh, and Bouffy has a new show on Bravo called demolition which I intend to check out - it has Bouffy and power tools. Bonus!

Shows what you know, matey boy. Magic Roundabout is about hippies doing what they do best (and no, I don't mean smelling), but disguised to allow children to be educated about the effects of various chemicals upon the human mind.

I'm afraid you don't know what you're talking about Razor - watch that show again some time and you'll find it riddled with comedy and sarcasm - whilst also being good clean fun for children.

And just because I'm 18 doesn't mean I can't like kids shows - even though The Magic Roundabout is more than just a kids show.

i also  like digimon anime
b5 farscape x files  stargate farscape which is gone hopefully wiht enough petitions and  we  will get farscape back
i also watch adromeda but heh i its  hardly on here...
what would  be cool  is that some one with a video card or tv capture  card could  record some  shows on their computer
eg : star trek  stargate  andromeda x file s and we could make a huge data base of shows all in  divx format avi's or  mpeg and  icould up load them to   my server  we would adverstise them and
heh we would have people  enjoying the joy of scifi and toher shows if we can acomplish it
 i got  plenty server space now and t would pretty awesome idea i f  we could get this together and have people  download our  art ,pof files and mpegs soon  i will  have my own forum   which  will have the coolest graphics yet heh!
in addtion to that we will have a submission form where  people can sign up to be  a part of the staff which will be  cool since  is till need  a flash artist but hmmm

well to  get back to  the subject matter...
we could either stream the videos with a real media player or also people to download them in mpeg or divx format
if we  get this off the  ground i predict that this will amazing  popular just you watch and see
well :D  ;)  with you ideas and support this will defintely will  be huge  success
heh in fact it  will  be amazing
hmm even so  igot another  idea  why dont  i make a  huge movie about freespace 2 and it will  along the movies/ clips  for people to download

Jeez, I'm so out of touch with the Johto series. Serisously catch Articuno? Blimey, that'd be a feather in Ash's official Pokemon League hat and no mistake.

Oh yeah, the Samurai Pizza Cats (God knows why, but hey):

Transformers was the coolest show ever. So was Beast Wars before it went gay with he transmetals and such. At the moment, my favourites are SG1 and the Lano and Woodley show, even though I only ever see that on tape at my friends house. Those guys are the probably the funniest guys in the world today.

oh yes, one rare hour-long comedy series I really like: MACGYVER.

Man this is one of the funniest shows I've ever seen. The cheesy jokes, the impossible tricks, and R.D. Anderson (this part without sarcasm). This is plain excellent.

The way he makes a magnet by banging an iron stick at a fire hydrant. :D

The episode where a madonna statue was stolen, and then there was some trouble with a children's center, which was ´operated by a (girl)friend of MacGyvers.

In that episode, MacGyver did ABSOLUTELY nothing. He just walked around and told everyone how good life was. BOOOORING

on a similar, I found one of the best MacGyver episodes to be one of the first-season ones, (it was one of the first with Dana Elcar in it as well if I remeber correctly). I cannot remember the title, it was the one where Mac had to disarm two bombs on a cruise ship. The one with the bomb disarming expert as the villain. Can anyone fill me in on the name?

Copy that.  At least I managed to get some of the series on DVD (the only reason I dare venture over to eBay...)  The rest are on VHSes scattered about.

Ehrm...anyways, stuff I watch on TV:

DBZ (only 'cuz my roomie is hopelessly obsessed with it)
Dexter's Laboratory (see note above)
CNN (for the occasional headz-up on the Washington BS)
Fox News (for the occasional politically skewed take on the Washington BS)


Otherwise, stuff on DVD, VCD, or VHS, or stuff that has since gone off the air (or I've lost interest in):

Farscape
First Wave (a little)
The Chronicle (but not enough to count)
Babylon 5 (impatiently waiting for the rest of the series to be released)
Crusade (read Babylon 5 note)
Trigun (just the first 8 or 9 eps)
Cowboy Bebop (and the feature movie)
Neon Genesis Evangelion (haven't seen enough of this one to know what's going on, tho)
Gundam Wing (some of it) (hmm...Endless Waltz...gonna watch that one again tonight)
Star Trek (on the rarest occasion)

never could really get into Enterprise(mainly because I'm not able to catch it when it comes on), SG-1 (movie didn't interest me, series fails too), Andromeda (c'mon, Hercules in Space?!:p), or any countless others.

Eh, notice the unusually large percentage of anime in that? :D
