So what do you TIVO? My list of shows

In no particular order, these are my main season passes. I recommend any of these if you have not seen them.

• Battlestar Galactica (Gritty, realistic, complex)
• Lost
• The Daily Show
• The Cobert Report
• Stargate Atlantis and Stargate SG-1 (comedy in space)
• My name is Earl (Hilarious. Its "Raising Arizona" meets Seinfield.)
• Medium (Kolchack meets Kojack)
• House (A fun show: genius doctor hates people, people hate genius doctor)
• South Park
• Nova, Frontline (haven't seen a new one in a while)
• CSI (the original one. The spinoffs are particularly awful)
• The Simpsons

Most of the above dramas (except Medium, Galactica, and Lost) follow a formula. Take CSI for example. You know when they have a suspect in hand and its not the final three minutes of the show then it's the wrong guy. House has this problem too. He comes up with a crazy diagnosis and unless we are in the final three minutes of the show, the diagnosis is wrong. They are still great shows though.

Medium depicts a neat hyper-realistic family life that reminds me of That Speilberg classic Close Encounter of the Third Kind, and even Poltergeist. Those movies captured the feeling of a normal, chaotic home filled with children, toys, and TV despite the otherworldy storylines.
