I'm surprised no one has mentioned Deadwood. I'm not sure if it's even still showing, but that was a fantastic show. Another show called Life, where this cop gets sent to prison for years and finally gets out because they found other evidence that lead them to believe he wasn't the killer, and this guy takes what he knows from prison and uses it to become the best damn cop/investigator I've ever seen. Great show.

Weeds was also one of my favorites, but after the 2nd season, I kinda lost interest.

First Wave was good, again too bad it was killed off
Modern Marvels is on every day(at least every weekday) at 1pm EDT. So it may or may not be a good time depending on what you do.

I watch Modern Marvels, Trauma Life in the ER(when I can actually stay awake), Code Blue(same caveat as Trauma), Mythbusters, CSI(mostly Las Vegas, but since it's the same formula for the others, and you don't need to have been following the whole season, I can watch the others, I just don't like the people in them), whatever catches my fancy on Discovery, Discovery Health, and History(more and more they're showing good shows now like they used to). I "watch" adult swim, mainly I just kinda have it on as background noise until something I actually like comes on. Occasionally I'll watch sci-fi if I remember ST:TNG is on. Scrubs too if I remember.

Now I have an honest question, that isn't meant to flame anyone, but how can you watch House? For the most part I found the characters to be lacking in many qualities, and their medical stuff that they do in the show, is very hit or miss on whether or not you could actually do it(the one that comes to mind is when they ran a guy's blood through a pig's liver to filter it, which is complete BS). So why do you guys like it? I'm honestly curious about this.

Depends on what channel and what country you are talking about. I'm in Canada.

I also download most of my shows and finding Modern Marvels can be hard.

I actually forgot about Dexter. As well as Spaced (which isn't aired anymore, but still awesome) and Californication.

In the US it's on the History Channel and you can always go to http://store.aetv.com/html/subject/i...html?id=mm1000 to order the DVDs from the store. I would say most, if not all, the episodes are worth buying.

I have been watching Heroes over that past few weeks, now I'm up to date with the last aired episode. The show looked corny to me so never bothered with it. But I'd heard good things so I forced my self to watch it. It took me a while to get into it but once I lost the conry feeling I started to enjoy it.

Getting to the point of my post, what is with the cliffhanger/last scene "mistakes"? For some reason they sometimes re-act the last scene(s) from the previous episode instead of playing it back. Which are never quite correct. I don't know whether the change in camera angles are intentional but actions and words are also always off or even missed out.

latest one. Brief so it isn't a spoiler:
Claire says goodbye to her mother and leaves the house.
The scene is re-acted in the next ep and now she kisses her mum goodbye and leaves the house.

What is with that?

American TV ey.

Your networks frequently disappoint me; No Heroes this week, no Lost last week (though that was because of the SuperBowl wasn't it? Wouldn't that have been on Sport(s) channels anyway..?), no House a fortnight ago, or whenever it was.

I heard lost would be a double bill, but that isn't true is it? Or was it at a point?

According to TV guide it isn't: http://www.tvguide.com/search/index.aspx?keyword=lost
But is here: http://epguides.com/Lost/

Looks like 1 ep according to ABC's schedule.
