What TV programme are you watching?

First topic message reminder :

At the moment, it's daytime TV here. Lots of soap repeats, talk shows etc. I'm watching Emmerdale, a soap and also a repeat showing.

This afternoon was the final of the Black Rock Tennis from the Royal Albert Hall. It has tennis stars from yesteryear.

The final was between Pioline and Rusedski (Pioline won). Other players featured earlier in the week were Sampras, McEnroe, Cash and Edberg.

The only two people I know on Tennis TV is Federer and Nadal. And this other guy, but I forgot his name.

One of the shows that I would watch was American Idol season 7. That’s because Luke Menard and Amanda Obermyer are from this area of Indiana. Amy Davis is also from Indiana, but I know little about her.

Pushing Daisies is cool to watch because it’s a fantasy world that’s a dark comedy where they solve murder mysteries.

I sometimes watch Mythbusters. They were also having a convocation at Elliott Hall at Purdue University in October of last year that I went to.

I would watch Lost. But at that season finale when Charlie died I thought that I had seen enough of its complicated storyline that doesn’t seem to fit together very well.

I watch Desperate Housewives when my Mom is watching it.

I watch the Simpsons.

I’m still watching 60 Minutes for the different topics. I think that Andy Rooney has already become a crazy old man. Is there anything that he does other than complain?

We get American Idol in the UK and I find it very entertaining. It's produced some really good acts. We have a similar thing here called X Factor which has just finished for this year.

I went to Elementary, Middle, and High School with Luke Menard from American Idol season 7. He was 2 years older than me and 2 years ahead of me in school. He's a cool guy.

X Factor! That reminds of a blooper that I saw on a show with a name like "World's Funniest Moments." On X-Factor, a guy sings both Ken's and Barbie's lyrics to "I'm a Barbie Girl" and Simon Cowell is laughing at his high pitched Barbie voice. Simon said, "You are the worst singer in the world," and he said, "Thank You." Then Simon said something like, "I don't think you heard me. You are the worst singer in the World."

Absurd and funny Bulgarian Idol song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtRG52vDKXY&feature=related Only in Vulgaria! Oops, I mean Bulgaria. Somebody on the message board for the version without English subtitles said that this is funny not just because of the absurd lyrics but also because he is singing in the feminine form. I know that Spanish has masculine and feminine words, but I didn’t know that Bulgarian has masculine and feminine words.

I had forgotten to mention that I also watch "The Price Is Right." Britain and some other countries have their own version of "The Price is Right." On the American version, somebody guessed the exact value of his showcase and won both showcases two days ago: http://www.walletpop.com/blog/2008/12/17/the-price-is-exactly-right-contestant-nails-the-price-of-his/?icid=100214839x1215573826x1201027893 I missed that episode. Somebody on the message board for that page said that on the contestants' row that he correctly guessed the price there and won $500. Two exact prices from one person in one episode! Wow.

Each sunday; supernatural.

Yes, in the UK we had 'The Price Is Right'. It used to be shown at 5pm (Mon - Fri) but it's not been on for a year or so. Sounds like a similar format to what you have in the USA.

Just finished watching the Snooker Masters match between John Higgins and Marco Fu. John won 6 - 4. He fluked the final black to win.

I watched the tewnty20 cricket match last night between Australia and Sth. Africa which was just awesome. Australia won both of these which is at least some consellation seeing Sth. Africa won the test series. The 1 dayers start this friday so looking forward to those.

There was a very good tennis match in the second round of the Australian Open today. (Actually, last night Australian time). Carla Suarez Navarro was playing Venus Williams and the match was of a very high standard. At 5-2 in the third set, Venus was serving for the match but dropped her serve. On her next service game, Venus dropped her serve again and Carla went on to win. Scores (Carla first) were 2-6 6-3 7-5.

That was a great match Brian, I watched it myself. Now I'm watching the 3rd ODI between Australia and Sth. Africa. It's 1-1 so far in the series so this one should be closely fought.

I haven't seen the ODI's, Dean. Sounds like a good series though.

Back to the Australian Open tennis, Carla Suarez Navarro finally got knocked out in the Quarter Finsls but I'm sure we'll hear a lot more of her.

The second men's semi-final between Nadal and Verdasko was the best match I've seen since Nadal vs. Federer at Wimbledon last year. Nadal just edged it in the fifth set but had to play some really fantastic shots to win.

The women's final S. Williams vs. Safina was a bit disappointing though. Very one-sided and S. Williams won easily.

I can't wait for Nadal vs. Federer in the men's final...

I've watched all of those as well Brian as they are all on at prime time here. I've got a feeling Federer might get one back on Nadal this time around though.
The cricket was bad again, Sth. Africe won the 5 match series 4-1. We start another 5 match series against New Zealand today so we may hvae a chance to redeem ourselves, although they've been playing better cricket than we have lately.

England vs. West Indies - Cricket 1st test.
Not a good start for England. They made just 51 in their second innings and West Indies won without even having to bat a second time.

2 matches in, NZ 2 - 0 Australia

2nd Cricket test match England vs. W. Indies was cancelled after England scored 7-0.
Was supposed to be due to an unsafe pitch.

The 5th, and final game, of the Australia v New Zealand 1 day series was washed out on Friday leaving the teams at 2 wins apiece. Today is the one and only Twenty20 match to finish N.Z.'s tour of Australia before we head off to Sth. Africa for a few more tests in a couple of days.

Don't usually watch much tv, but I saw my very first episode of The Office after the Super Bowl. I have been hooked since. Brilliant comedy.

One of my favorite's as well Jayngo, I have every episode!

Awesome. I saw all of the seasons for sale at the store the other day. Which season would be the best to buy??

Well Season 1 is only 6 Episodes long and is a complete rip off of the original English season. Me though, I'm one of those people that can only watch things in total order from start to finish so I would get them all, but then again it's one of my my favorite shows so I wanted to watch as much of it as I could.

You can download them off the internet for free (well, your download costs of course) if you know where to look.

The 3rd Test Cricket Match Series: West Indies v England resulted in a draw. England started well making 566 for 9 and the West Indies in reply made 285 all out. However, England couldn't manage to bowl out the West Indies in their second innings and the match resulted in a draw.

There was some good cricket in this match and after 5 days of play it would have been better for it to end with a more positive result.

A View To A Kill. One of the many James Bond movies that starred Roger Moore.

The Naked Gun 33 1/3 is on TV right now, so I'm watching it.

Nothing, Australian TV really sucks...

Brokeback Mountain. First time I've seen it, though I heard a lot about it. A very well made movie.

Kenny vs Spenny - Season 5

CSI: Miami.

A Clockwork Orange.
Strange movie.

Freddy vs Jason

Watching the Dutch tv-programme 'De Wereld Draait Door', thinking about watching the movie 'The Prestige'.

World Snooker. Now just 4 players left in the tournament. Mark Allen, John Higgins, Neil Robertson and Shawn Murphy.

X-men 3: The Last Stand. Next up: The Punisher!!! Oooooo-It is crappy Marvel movie night here!!!

An episode of South Park (although I'm not really watching, well just a bit)

X-Men Origins:Wolverine

Tropic Thunder

American Idol.
Who wins? Chris or Adam? D=

My name is Earl. I just saw a one-legged women shoot at Earl with a shotgun. Unfrigginbelievable.

French Open Tennis. Especially the Nadal vs. Hewitt match. Nadal was superb and won in three straight sets but Hewitt still played well.

Nadal is unbeatable there, he proves it again.
I'm watching Family Guy now.

Australia V West Indies in the Twenty20 World Cup from Lords in London.

Australia got beaten, we batted ok but our bowling was terrible. Chris Gayle, The West Indies Captain, actually hit the ball outside of the ground and across the street!!

I just watched the highlights of the game. It was very exciting. Chris Gayle scored 88 runs off 50 balls.

Stella Artois Tennis Tournament from Barons Court in London. Not a big tournament but a good match between Andy Roddick and Lleyton Hewitt. Andy won with 2 tie-breaks.

House. =]
I also watch Lie to Me.

Australia go heartbreakingly close to beating England in the 1st Ashes test in Cardiff, Wales.

@Dean wrote:Australia go heartbreakingly close to beating England in the 1st Ashes test in Cardiff, Wales.

Yes, I watched it. Once Collingwood was out, everyone thought England had no hope. Somehow, the last 2 batsmen held on. Had there been more time, Australia would have easily won it. The next test is at Lords on Thursday (July 16).

I watched soccer: Brazil vs Estonia. Brazil won 1:0. In 2009 the Estonian football celebrated its 100th Anniversary.

watching the portland timbers become #1 in rankings for their division

Heartbeat. Drama series set in the 1960s. A repeat but has some good 60s music and settings.
