What TV shows do you watch religiously?

[Twentythree]

Survivor and Ghosthunters are the only long running shows
 that I watch religiously,
 I'm hooked on "reality" shows, even though they don't last long.

I'm a survivor junkie too.

I've never in my life obsessed over a TV show the way I did with Dexter. I started watching it last summer, and the intense cliffhangers would never allow me to watch one episode at at time. I watched all four seasons in a matter of weeks, which caught me up before season five. After having the liberty to watch as many episodes as I wanted in a given day, it was hard as hell to watch the show one week at a time during its actual run on TV.

Other than that, I have seen every episode of the first four seasons of 30 Rock more times than I can count. It's my go-to show for background noise when I do homework since I've seen it too often for it to be distracting. Kenneth Parcell is probably the funniest character ever written in the history of TV.

My default favorite show of all time is The X-Files. I remember going to D.C. in seventh grade and getting all giddy when I would just stand in the same place that I saw David Duchovny stand in some episode or another. He was definitely my first "older dude crush."

How did I neglect to mention Dexter??? Ugh haha. I named my dog Dexter. That show is amazing. Not every season is perfect of course, but season one was possibly the best season of any show I'd ever watched. Definitely hooks you.

Not to get off topic, but have you ever read any of the books? I've only read the first Dexter book, which somewhat correlates to the first season. I've heard the following seasons and books went in two separate directions (which is understandable considering the ending of the first book). I thought Book-Dexter was going to be our same amiable neighborhood serial killer, but he was waaaay more twisted. I do hope to get to the rest of the books after this semester ends.

I've read all the books. You are right that the show and books split after the first book. There are some pretty wide changes. There are currently 4 books, and a 5th planned, to be released this year, I believe. Both versions of the Dexter story are good... in this case, oddly, I prefer the show.

Same, I think by humanizing him a little more for the show, he's just easier to relate to. I couldn't relate to him at all in the book. He's so "killer with a conscience" in the show, and Michael C. Hall is just so darn lovable. All of the [spoiler:1dw585oi]dream telepathy stuff[/spoiler:1dw585oi] in the book was kind of off-putting for me as well.

I'm working my way through the West Wing, but I suppose DVDs don't count. I never miss an episode of Coronation Street. If there is a God, may he forgive me.

One of my favorites is:

Crenshaw: Yes, picture her, dead in the gutter, and what your pathetic life will be like without old mommy dearestâ€"
Lana: Jesus christ! He's got an erection!
Crenshaw: What the hell is wrong with you people?!
Malory: An erection? The thought of me dead gives you an erection?
Sterling: No, just half of one. The other half would have really missed you. I mean not ... ew.

I too recently discovered Archer. How I missed that one for so long, I don't know. Absolutely brilliant comedy.

Big Bang Theory, although the name of the main character 'Sheldon Cooper' has no effect on my username.

Red Eye on Fox News.  Don't love the politics but it's still the greatest show ever.
