What are you planning to watch on TV today/tonight

[Nollaig]

I kind of feel like going on an M. Night Shyamalan binge tonight after reading the thread about his movies.... either that or more Angel. I'm halfway through Season Three!

Ooh ooh! Go for M. Night Shyamalan! You can't go wrong (I think you need to give Angel a little break )

 

I plan on watching the USA vs Finland men's hockey game.

The idea of the CSI series have always interested me but I have never watched them, are they stand alone episodes or do you have to have seen the previous ones to know whats going on? Thats the main thing that puts me off.

[ned]

They are pretty much stand alone episodes. Every now and again you may get a two parter but it is something you can pretty much just start waching. It really is worth a look.

[Chrissy]

They should be stand alones mainly, although you will have the occasional story arc episodes that are helped by having a bit of knowledge (but not essential). I have only ever watched the CSI that is based in Las Vegas. They are equally interesting and formulaic, a kind of James Patterson story on telly!

[Johnny Carson Whit]

Think I will give CSI a go then, it's ALWAYS on living

[ned]

And Channel 5 and Five USA

[joe]

Coronation Street and then off to work

[pickle]

I have no idea I might watch a bit of the winter olympics but Friday night Tv pretty much sucks..I could watch repeats on tv but might just have tv on as wall paper

[Johnny Carson Whit]

And Channel 5 and Five USA

 

Finally a reason to watch Five USA

[ned]

Finally a reason to watch Five USA

 

Go crazy, watch it on Five USA +1

[Johnny Carson Whit]

What about Law and Order, are those mainly stand alones? Thats another series i've always liked the idea of...

[pickle]

They are mostly stand alones, I really like the criminal intent ones and think Vincent D'Nofrio is excellent in it

[ned]

Not sure about that one mate, never really interested me but i'm sure if you tune into a couple of episodes and it is one of those continuing stories, you'll pick up the main details of the story.

[Chrissy]

Mastermind and after that, whatever takes my fancy. If other half is on the PC (in the next room) it will be a choice 'tween 'Criminal Minds' or 'The Mentalist'. If he is with me, then whatever he fancies watching. I'm that kind of wife!*

 

 

* I also know they'll both be repeated, so I'll catch up with them eventually!

[ned]

Pet Sounds: Brian Wilson Live is on BBC 4 at 10 tonight. I love the Pet Sounds album so this should be worth a look.

[Inver]

Oops...must dash....The Mentalist is just starting

OH is in the next room, and Simon Baker has won my telly affections for an hour ~ I've set the video to record Criminal Minds. Happy Bunny here!

You really should, though you should try each one.. there's Crime Scene Investigation (which is New York), there's CSI Las Vegas, and CSI Miami. Each one's different. Las Vegas is my fav, then used to be New York but recently I started to like Miami more. Don't judge it on just one of the three. But yeah, it's very much worth watching, I am not adoring them like I do some other series (say, Stargate), once I have seen an episode I've seen it you know. I won't re-watch them much, unless there's nothing else on telly. But yeah, they're great.

[Johnny Carson Whit]

This just shows how much CSI is on TV, I placed it on series record not long after I posted this last night and I now, already, have 5 episodes of it saved

 

Edit: Make that 6

[Univerze]

^Oh it's the same here. I think it's on telly four nights a week. Annoying really, you never know which channel to watch since one's showing older ones, other newer and the other newest. Is the same with House.

[Kell]

I'm up to date with the American timetable of all the shows I watch:

 

Desperate Housewives

Lie to Me

The Forgotten

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

NCIS

The Mentalist

Castle

Criminal Minds

True Blood

 

So, as I was lacking anything current to watch while Xan had his nap this morning, and as I was hankering after a bit of vampire action, I watched a couple of episodes of Ultraviolet, which was a fabulous 6-part mini-series shown in 1998. It's even better than I remembered - very understated... I shall be watching a couple more episodes next week I reckon! (I won't get a chance tomorrow as I'm out with Xan all day).

[Johnny Carson Whit]

Very impressive Kel

 

Any hidden gems on some obscure channel nobody ever watches tonight?
