I decidedly do not like anything Science Fiction or Fantasy-like — I know this is going to make you all hate me, but I can’t stand Buffy or Battlestar Gallactica.

Hey, I’m like you, Jill. And sci-fi-fantasy fandom is so rife among a lot of the bloggers I admire (Theresa N-H, Tigtog, to name two), I feel a bit like a freak sometimes!

I’ve been having a lot of fun watching Scrubs with my teenage daughter lately. It’s a hoot.

You could be totally out there and sample an Australian series – like SeaChange or Underbelly.

Did I miss it, or has nobody mentioned Californication. Once you get over the David Duchovney thing, you’ll realize he’s really pretty good here and it has a bitchin’ feministe in the character of his daughter. The writing is fantastic, almost as good as Gossip Girl, kidding, no wait maybe I’m not – at least Chuck Bass’ lines!

Also, if you like The Office, check out “The Newsroom” if you can get it on dvd. It is Canadian, the CBC. A Ken Finkelman thing, if you’re familiar with him, he’s damn wicked satire. Journalists love this show.

Dexter is so great, when is it coming back?

I'm glad to see Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie getting so much respect here. 30 Rock leaves me as cold as Saturday Night Live, unless it's a very very old rerun with Father Guido Sarducci. The Fox cartoons actually make me giggle. I get a sort of comfort from MASH reruns, even if I've seen them a zillion times, because we have another stupid war going on and not too much has changed since the 4077th medics were telling us that Vietnam sucked by pretending the show was all about Korea. And

Law and Order

is a new addiction. Really good scripts, very tight and suspenseful.

Lost IS scifi/fantasy

Okay. Nip/Tuck is definitely one of my favorites (albeit filled with sexism) and very addicting. HEROES is amazing. Seriously, kind of Sci fi, but awesome. Scrubs, House, Grey’s Anatomy (some people think that the female characters are 2 dimensional, but I don’t feel that way at all. I didn’t really like Weeds, but Showtimes Bullshit with Penn and Teller is fun and light, and very funny.

Oh yes. It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is twisted in such a hilarious way. Even the extras were good on the DVD.

I agree with Karina: It’s Always Sunny in Philedelphia is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG but oh so right. Freakin’ hilarious.

Damages. Season one is on Netflix. I remember thinking that the show would be awful after seeing the posters and trailers but it’s pretty good.

Can’t believe no one’s said it but, ROME. A thousand times, Rome.

Also Six Feet Under, Deadwood, and Weeds.
