Television Programs I Like

A list of various television programs I am either watching or have watched with interest.

Current Favorites

• Aqua Teen Hunger Force: bizarre animated series about a milkshake (Master Shake), a rolling wad of meat (Meatwad), and a floating box of french fries (Frylock). Drugs may have been involved in its creation.
• Bones: a show about an emotionally unexpressive but brilliant forensic anthropologist and the wise-ass FBI agent (played by David Boreanaz) who enlists her aid in solving various crimes
• CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: Another show I picked up from my wife.
• The Daily Show, "where more people get their news than probably should"
• Family Guy: Another bizarre Cartoon Network offering, set in Quahog, Rhode Island.
• Futurama
• House, M.D.: starring Hugh Laurie from Blackadder.
• Life on Mars: a BBC cop drama about a police detective who wakes up in 1973, and has to figure out if he's a time traveller, or enmired in the delusional world of a coma.
• Lost
• Robot Chicken: Seth Green's bizarre production of stop-motion shorts involving classic toys and action figures.
