I'm a fan of them.  But don't turn zombies into gun toting half ass infected.. ;)

Anyway, I also like Breaking Bad, and my science teacher has been talking about quite a few shows, I really look up to her, so pretty soon I will ask her all the shows she mentioned and then try getting my hands on them.
I'll let you know what they are, I at least remember her saying The Big Bang Theory.

This show ^ is funny.

I concur.  I've also started watching Copper.  I have about 7 episodes <fingerquotes> TiVO's</fingerquotes> and have watched 2.  So far, I'm liking it.

I was brave, I watched that one with the tar monster.

It wasn't so bad.

Now Zoidberg is the popular one!

Big Bang Theory is OK, but the laughtrack is so loud and overused I find it distracting. I think if they toned down the artificial laughter I could get into it a little more.

I'm re-watching Boardwalk Empire S1 & 2 just to catch up so I can start watching season 3 all the way through when it's broadcast run ends in November.

I completely agree with that although the canned laughter actually makes me turn over.  It's a shame as I think the show is genuinely funny and stands up on its own, and really doesn't need to keep reminding people when to laugh.

We're caught up on Breaking Bad (quite good), looking forward to Justified again, and are waiting for new installments of the Thick of It, the return of Peep Show, lamenting the lack of good comedy in the U.S.  We watch Q.I. as it dribbles out, too.

I haven't seen a single show you mentioned, chris.  Glee seems like it would suck, especially as it's on Fox.  But that you'd watch it makes me wonder.

I'm desperately trying to catch up with Once Upon a Time, as Season 2 has started.

Not so worried about Grimm, to be honest.

Mentalist Season 5 is now available (although it only starts in UK in November), so I am trying to decide when to watch that, too.

Avoiding Glee Season 4. Like the plague. Glee Project amateurs ruined Season 3.

While I enjoy all the shows you mentioned, due you actually watching anything made in Britain?

I due so watching. Oftenly.

I have a daughter, and watch(ed) it with her. It is not my natural sort of show.

I watch drama - notably cops (Lewis, Gently, New Tricks, that chap that polices the second world war, etc.)

How the hell did I write "due"?  I really must be spent. 

Roll on the Carib-bee-anne.

We watch most of those BBC ITV police dramas, too.  I am game for much more junk than my better half allows, but as we only really watch TV in the evening, unless I put on Jerry Springer or Judge Judy for background noise during the day, we limit our viewing of junk to Cops.  I don't know if they broadcast that in the UK, but it's also on Fox.

Since the advent of Freeview here, we pretty much get every bit of crap made by every nation on earth.  As for something you might actually want to watch: the viewing ain't so good.

You have no idea.

Being a tradesman, house-father, cook, webmaster and a host of other responsibilities is killing me.

Don't you forget fashion consultant.  ;)

I've watched the 1st episode of "Revolution" the other day. It really didn't fill my expectations UNTIL the very end. Then I thought I could give it another try. Has anybody seen further than that?

I've seen all the episodes so far.  My opinion is, it isn't too bad and right now there seems to be a drought in good shows releasing new episodes so I'll probably continue to watch it.  Hell, new shows are so scarce, I'm still actually watching "Arrow".
