What I watch: Early Spring 2007 Edition

Part 1: The Sci-Fi Wi-Fi Extravaganza:

Battlestar Galactica
Stargate:Atlantis and Stargate: SG1

My latest discovery here is that both Stargates air 6 months ahead of time in the UK, meaning that an enterprising fan (ha ha, this isn't Star Trek!) can download them via Bit Torrent and feel super 133t for knowing what most poor American schlubs won't find out for many months -- like the Ori's new crusade against same-sex marriage!

Part 2: The Law and Order Juggernaut:

Law and Order
Law and Order:SVU
Law and Order:Criminal Intent

As fun, emotional, and predictable as pro wrestling, except they wear suits and ties instead of spandex! As a side note, they should introduce a new spin-off called Law and Order:SUV where they deal with rude Hummer drivers, gas-station drive-offs and inattentive soccer moms using their cell phones while barreling over pedestrians in their Cherokees.

Part 3: Prime Time Soap Operas With Guns and/or Togas

Lost
Prison Break
Rome

Conspiracy! Firearms! Hot people! The Others!
I am including "Rome" in here because if you swap the sandals for sneakers and the daggers for Glocks, you basically can interchange all three of these shows.

Part 4: Animation Nation: Prime Time

The Simpsons
American Dad
Family Guy

"Family Guy" is basically out of habit, since that show universally sucks these days.

Part 5: Animation Nation: Late Night

Futurama reruns
Aqua Teen Hunger Force
Harvey Birdman
Tom Goes to the Mayor
...and so on

Adult Swim is pretty good when they stay away from "Saved by the Bell" and "Pee-Wee's Playhouse," the former of which is a real example of terrorism.

Part 6: Science Is Fun!

Mythbusters

That one is pretty much a requirement for anyone who would call themselves a geek.
