  1. what shows or types of shows do you like?

I like everything .... except for some reason, I could never get into any of the Star Trek series other than The New Generation. That show rocked! Reality TV is good, although most of the 'new' shows are crap. I also like stuff by Aaron Spelling ... those types of trashy shows, 90210, Melrose Place, O.C., North Shore ... and shows like Charmed. Also, the Simpsons and The Family Guy and the Bernie Mac Show. Those types of comedies are good.

(ex. sci fi, adventure, reality tv)

  1. " __________" dislike?

I can't get into traditional style comedy shows lately for some reason. Shows like Will & Grace ... I don't know why.

  1. what do you wish might be different about the shows on tv today?

(ex. too many relatiy shows, too little family programs...)

Too much variety, most of which is crap.

  1. what would you really like to see on tv?

(a show about....)

I would love to see more realistic shows dealing with international politics and world issues. They won't be comedies though and I'm guessing, won't be too popular.

  1. what shows do you think would interest the 20-30 something crowd?

Drama serials like The North Shore, CSI, O.C., Law & Order and adult comedies like The Simpsons/Family Guy.

Realistically, over the past year, I just don't have time for television. These are shows I used to watch. At the moment, I can't really be bothered with t.v. Nothing really worthwhile or entertaining on other than North Shore.

mehnaz- :flower1:

yeah, i’m old school too. 90210 was the bomb…but spinoffs are exactly that, a cheap knockoff of the original.

international politics eh? i’ll see how i can run with that?

anyone else have any thoughts? plz with sugar on top?

Re: tv survey-plz respond

  1. I like to watch comedies. There are enough problems in this world so it helps me take my mind off of them. Also game shows (what a loser I am :smiley: haha) I’ll catch some ‘drama’-type show sometimes too like Smallville or ER.

  2. Dislike: basically all the recent gay shows that have been popping up. One time we were flipping thru the channels during the primetime hour and they were 3 shows with gay couples going at it coming on simultaneously on the very basic cbs/nbc/abc/fox tv channels.

  • I have not gotten on the reality show tv bandwagon yet. Have yet to see Jessica and Nick Newlyweds, Survivor, Big Brother etc. etc. Don’t have an iota of interest in those.
  • Get rid of Fox News Channel :smiley:
  1. That’s a tough one. I guess tone down on the cleavage :konfused: Too much skin, too little originality.

  2. I would like to see a show that is not just centered around Blacks or around Whites. Right now there are specific sitcoms that are aimed at Black people and specific ones with White people. Would like to see a better mix of the melting pot that we are :slight_smile:

  3. I think there are enough shows that cater to the 20-30 crowd - there is 24 hr ESPN, comedy central, MTV, and the basic channels have reality shows every other night.

Oooh, good point Rukhs. I tried sitting through an episode of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and just found it so stupid.

^ They had the UK edition on Bravo the other day. First time I've seen the show. I found it kind of funny or maybe I only caught the last 10 mins of it :)

Re: tv survey-plz respond

I don't watch TV regularly but there are some shows I definitely save time for it.

I've never bother to watch Sci-Fi channel. As for Reality TV show, Blind Date has been my all-time favorite but I don't watch it regularly. The AMAZING Race just recently got concluded, my favorite Reality TV show this time around. Apprentice is good too but I hardly get a chance to even seen the encore of it.

Rightnow, Nip/Tuck is on watch-list. I have never missed a single episode of it. The show is in its second season, with lotta twist, and definitley one of the best medical dramas, bigger than ER and Medical Investigation.

There's definitely a need for family programs. Gone are the days when ABC, NBC used to be family channels. Who in the world wanna watch "Who Wants to Marry My Dad", "The Bachelor" in family gatherings? Know what I mean..
