The Single Greatest Television Show Ever-

The Single Greatest Television Show Ever-
Cowboy Bebop

Ehhh? Never heard of it...where is it on?

[Gabe Vieira]

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings at 1:30 on Cartoon Network's [adult swim] block.

Cowboy Bebop is a twenty-six episode animated series from Japan in 1998. It takes place in the not to distant, near-dystopian future where humans have colonized the planets. It is character and story driven and focuses on a group of petty bounty hunters, or cowboys as they are called, out looking for some spare change on their ship, the Bebop. The whole series is set around the theme of music, mainly Jazz; the incredible Yoko Kanno scored the series. The visuals have a style all their own. There is also a great movie based on the series called Knockin' on Heaven's Door, but in mainly called Cowboy Bebop: The Movie outside of Japan.

It may not appeal to everyone since it is one of those things that you kind of have to appreciate, but is worth looking into.

Well top of the list is most definately:

VERONICA MARS --- best show on television, the true heir to the BUFFY throne. Plus, Kirsten Bell is the hottest actress on any screen (big or small) right now so that helps a lot.

ALIAS --- Another show with a cute actress in the lead and (like VERONICA MARS) some really good scripts. Unfortunately this show is a little less consistently good than VM so its # 2 on my TiVo Season Pass.

I also quite like Medium with Patricia Arquette

Criss Angel: Mindfreak

The OC
Family Guy
Batman: The Animated Series
The West Wing
Desperate Housewives (Gabrielle mmm...)
Without A Trace
The X-Files
The Office
The Katherine Tate Show
Have I Got News For You

well how great! I'm not the ONLY one who loves "the west wing"!!
I do find it absolutely outstanding..and probably with waaayy too good dialogues to be broadcasted at decent times and regularly over here!! thank God for satellite tv and the Fox channel with series 24 hours a day!!
seen that ALMOST EVERYONE here likes (like myself) Alias and Lost, I would like to say this: Vaughn (Michael Vartan) and Jack (Matthew Fox) for BOND! lol
well I mean if they really want to give us Mr Goran as Bond, than at this point both Vartan and Fox would make a FAR better one than him!!!
ah right I forgot.. and EVEN Rob Lowe (West Wing) would make a better one!!!

Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations

"You know how Bond movies always start with 007 ending a previous mission? Oh yeah, that's cool," says Anthony Bourdain as clips of him skiing down the slopes of New Jersey in the previous episode lead into his next trip. Vietnam. The show is a great blend of locations, foods, adventure, human interactions, and humor. Bourdain dives into every opportunity presented to him and enjoys cracking witticims throughout each episode, almost always making a number of movie references in each trip that corresponds with the location. The Vietnam episode aka "The Island of Mr. Sang" contained a number of references to James Bond, "I have to admit, I really do feel like I'm in a Bond movie, it feels like I'm about to visit the island of Dr. No."

This show has an atmosphere unlike any other travel show currently on television. I love it.

Vietnam isn't the only place Anthony Bourdain has visited, other locations include:
Paris, France - Iceland - New Jersey (the mafia is the theme here) - Malaysia

New episodes coming in October will take Bourdain to Uzebekistan, Sicily, and Las Vegas.

"Bourdain, Tony Bourdain" is the author of Kitchen Confidential and is an executive chef to a New York City restaurant and is of course now a host of No Reservations on the Travel Channel. You can check out the official website and get a viewing schedule here: Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations


Stranded With Cash Peters

Antoher entertaining show on the Travel Channel. Cash Peters is dropped off at various locations all over the world with no money, no food, no shelter, and no knowledge of where he is at. You can check out the official website here: Stranded With Cash Peters

Boston Legal - two years and not one bad episode. Watch this people.

[killkenny kid]

Kind of on-topic, but I remember when 'Nick-At-Nite' actually used to show old shows. Since when have shows like Full House become that old?

So true.

[Gabe Vieira]

Whose Line Is It Anyway?

"Whose Line" is by the far one of the funniest shows on television today, even if it is only reruns. It is probably one of the most quotable TV shows/ movies ever. The problem is that there are only two kinds of "Whose Line" viewers: the casual viwer and the hardcore fanatic who memorizes every second of every show. Guess witch one I am Yeah, "Whose Line" is a classic.

My Name is Earl is also one of the best shows on TV. I'm hooked on that show. Every episode is so harlarious. Does anybody here watch it?

[Qwerty]

Are new episodes of 'Whose Line' still appearing?

[Gabe Vieira]

Are new episodes of 'Whose Line' still appearing?

Sadly, no. But the ABC Family Channel still plays reruns of the show like crazy during weeknights. On Monday nights they will usually play three hours of "Whose Line" if they don't plan on showing anything else in that time slot. Those are some of the best three hours of my week

[00-FAN008]

These favourites range from all the years of TV watching:
"South Park"
"Batman: The Animated Series"
"TinTin"
"La Femme Nikita"
"Chapelle's Show"
"Scare Tactics"
"CSI: Crime Scene Investigation"
"Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction" (When I was, like, 8.)
"Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers" (When I was, like, 5.)

Today, my #1 favourite TV show is "Most Haunted". I seriously don't know why they've got it on the Women's Network, because it's also a show for guys as well. Derek Acorah is an amazing psychic. My favourite episode was the one where he was posessed by an evil spirit... it was really frightening.
