I think I'm in for all of Start Trek next summer. <br /><br />and I was never allowed to watch Dallas. BUT we were allowed to watch the Dukes of Hazzard and listen to the opening THEME of Dallas.

It's suspenseful, but not so much to the degree like 24 where you can't sleep for the next 2 nights. <br />The character development is great and there are also some fun witty one-liner comments dispensed throughout. <br />Additionally, unlike Burn Notice and some of the likes, they don't make the actors and actresses so Hollywood'ish in their physical appearance, so it doesn't stink up that show in that potential element either. <br />I could totally dig Grey's and House and all that jazz I think, but hospitals and the accompanying tragedies make me too sad. I get enough of that in life as it is, so no thanks. <br />Other than that, they were showing a Cosby marathon the other night, and I was glued :)Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17090350558631041000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222347481499259925.post-38934507116588240672009-09-29T11:57:51.323-05:002009-09-29T11:57:51.323-05:00NCIS!NCIS!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222347481499259925.post-2892671192917327372009-09-29T11:56:45.486-05:002009-09-29T11:56:45.486-05:00I'm not even going to go for the obvious jokes...I'm not even going to go for the obvious jokes here.

And he'd pick Lost over 24. 24 can be watched on DVD, whole season style....but beware, it's nearly impossible to stop yourself once you get going and know the rest is just a click away! Prepare to watch entire season in a matter of days. <br /><br />The only new show we've contemplated watching over the last couple years is House.

On Th nights we watched, Knots Landing--which, of course, was J.R. Ewing's brother, Gary. There's NO WAY I'd let my kids watch that kind of stuff! Wondering why I was allowed to. Yet, also amazed that I wasn't really phased by what I saw? Must be the grace of God! :o) I completely agree--TV dramas are just not the same. What about some Magnum, P.I.?! Or, one of my personal favorites, Little House on the Prairie. :o) I watched some ER in college, but then it fizzled for me. Today's "dramas" are filled with too much crime and "trauma drama". I really miss the old 70s/80s sitcoms too!

That is probably the only "drama" that we watch and Grey's Anatomy (mostly hubby as I'm doing my study during those nights) in the Psalms. <br /><br />We started LOST from the first season and caught ourselves up to speed. Jan kicks off the last season when everything is supposed to come to an end and we'll have answers to things. The show is so interesting and very clever. How can somebody create all those aspects?! It's fun too, it makes you think hard about things. It does have references to the Bible, a lot actually... There's a lot of hidden meanings and unanswered questions...the parts that keep you guessing I suppose. But in watching it you can relate certain characters to those in the Bible or certain experiences, etc. I'm sure there's all a reason why the writer uses it for what he does.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11076072867653852486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8222347481499259925.post-32521787869519241992009-09-29T08:25:08.388-05:002009-09-29T08:25:08.388-05:00I used to watch Knots Landing and Magnum PI with m...I used to watch Knots Landing and Magnum PI with my dad (also... what was he thinking!!)
