oh yeah, potential serial killers reminds me of the real world/road rules challenges, which i do watch every year, so there's a healthy #2 on the reality show front

thread makes me realize i'm off my tv game, only follow certain shows and that's about it

only ones i've actively watched recently were thrones, south park and children's hospital

probably gonna get balls deep into true blood if it keeps up the stupidity level of the first 5 mins of the first episode

def gonna be all up on breaking bad, mad men and eastbound when they return

Well I'm pretty sure they don't, but that's about as close as I get to reality TV. Was there a first season of the wormhole joint? I'd never heard of it before a couple weeks ago, now I watch the science channel 24/7. I love shit like that.

River Monsters is an obsession. I'd pay a zillion dollars to go fishing with Jeremy Wade.

ConversAsians is a local access talk show. The format:

Two Asian broads in their fifties sit on the Between Two Ferns set and discussion contemporary Asian issues. Topics include their children's grades, why cars are so big over here, Asian community gatherings, the merits of low sodium soy sauce, and bok choy.

After Kentucky lost to Uconn, I threw my remote against a wall and it broke. I was working days at the time, so I couldn't get to Comcast to exchange my remote for a working one. My tv was stuck on WYCC, since I had this old ass cable box with no buttons. WYCC is home to ConversAsians as well as:
Serb View (same thing but for Serbs)
Dinning Chicago (a show about Dining that's viewership is so low they don't give a fuck that the name is wrong in the guide)
Can I Step With You? (Black people in their 50s dance very slowly to old ass R&B)
Sit and Be Fit (Exercise program where you don't even have to get out of your recliner)
Chit Chat with David (Some dude named David chit chats with his friends)

I watched this channel, and only this channel, for two weeks. ConversAsians was the highlight and now I DVR it. This was all in the CSB thread but here it is again.

And if True Blood isn't a comedy then it's the worst show in the history of television

i've only seen 4 episodes of through the wormhole but it is outstanding. i plan to buy it on blu ray when it comes out. i'm not sure if it's a tv series or if it's a mini special series but either way, it's copped as soon as it comes out.

agreed on river monsters. great show.

conversasians sounds outstanding. I need to get up on some local access cable programming here in NY. There has to be some hidden gems here as well.

Conversasians sounds like this show called Ask Your Auntie but with Aboriginal people (north indians). I try to avoid shooting it at all costs. It's too tempting for me to yell smartass things. " What do I do to get better grades in school?" Do your fuckin homework, retard!" Thread is now about aunties.

Drama: Treme
Breaking Bad
Boardwalk Empire

Comedy: Parks and Rec
Community
Workaholics
Honable mention to Bob's Burgers.

Reality: Meerkat Manor (it's old but it's awesome)
The only other reality related thing I watch is the hilarious shit going on in my neighbourhood while I barbeque on my balcony.

Love this show. First time I saw it was during a marathon and almost watched it for five hours straight.

Same goes for American Ninja Warrior, probably the coolest reality competition show on TV right now.
