So what's your top 5 TV shows at the moment?

I don't get to watch a lot of TV at the moment, but here's my favourites..

1. Mythbusters (SBS, Monday 7:30pm). Never miss it! Long live the nerds! They make being nerdy, popular :)

2. The Amazing Race (Ch 7, Thursday 9:30pm). Great show. We have a betting pool each week at work to guess who's gonna come last that week. We put in $1 each and the winner scoops the pool :D

3. World Theatre (Ch 7, Sunday 6:30pm). I can't remember if that's the name of the show, but anyway it's the one where they have the Imax shows. Great footage and photography.

4.
5.

hmm, I watch less TV than I thought.. there's really nothing else that's a must-see for me each week..

What about you?

1. Mythbusters, a bit upset they took the repeat off as that suited me better to watch due to work.

2. Stargate Atlantis.

3. Amazing Race. (my wife makes me watch it) We need more Johnathon`s in it like the last series.

4. Lost. (my wife makes me watch this as well)

5. Desperate Housewives. (yep, my wife makes me watch this also)

There could be a few more that my wife tapes while i am at work but i will stop at 5 programs. :)

In no particular order...

CSI (NY almost does not make the cut)
Cold Case
Mythbusters
Iron Chef!!!!!
Bargain Hunt

This time of year, I also spend a fair amount of time watching the Weather Channel...our business depends very much on weather...rain in the right place spells $$$ lack of it means lots of explaining about why we have so much inventory!

My Favs (no particular order)......

**Mythbusters (their abuse of buster should have all crash test dummies around the world up in arms!)
**NCIS
**The Glass House
**Any mechanical docos (ie Aircrash Investigations) - must be the engineer in me!
**Australian Story

I am anxiously awaiting the next series of Little Britain (love that off-beat humour), and I will usually sit through any sport - particularly motor sport.

I wish I had cable for all the sports (big fan of the English Premier League and Manchester United...my dad's influence!!!). Don't watch that much tv but when I do it will be American (or Australian) Idol and the OC. Oh and don't forget Everybody Loves Raymond and the Simpsons....

I don't watch much TV either but when I do, my top favourite show to watch would be a documentary. The rest are sci-fi shows like star trek, stargate, battlestar galactica. Mythbusters is also up there with the good shows when I remember that it's on!
I love Iron Chef! Those guys are culinary masters. But, I've learnt that you should never watch these guys before you've had or made dinner.

Hey Ice, is that the new astro boy that they are showing now?
Oh and She-ra was way better than He-man :P (yes, I even had the doll!)

*SpongeBob Squarepants - that little guy and his mates can cheer me up out of the deepest funk - got all the DVD's :) I am not normally in the habit of watching childrens TV - maybe catdog occasionally - the rest are just kids shows to me
*South Park - sometimes
*Futurama
*Doctor Who - new one looks promising so far
*Lexx - havent really seen a decent TV show since this one
*and of course any Crows match

Hey crash, have you heard of Full Metal Alchemist? I'm not an anime fan at heart but this series really grabbed my attention and pulled me right in, more so than evangelion did.
Hey fringe, I know the feeling of how spongebob can somehow lift the dolldrums of life and bring you into a world of weirdness and put a smile on your face :) Good thing to watch just before work starts!

Actually, I watch too much telly and yet I have never heard of a lot of the shows being named!

Bring back 'Lost In Space'. Now that was a goooood show.
