    TV you just love (or at least really like)

    Why not a companion thread to that of "TV you just can't stand" posted by Seriously ().

    Okay, so what shows do you make it a point not to miss (DVR, always make sure to be home/near a TV, etc. etc.)?

    For me it's pretty simple. I do DVR a lot, but mostly movies. LOVE westerns. Also regularly watch and really like a couple of game shows, Wheel Of Fortune and Jeopardy (though I don't DVR them and sometimes go months without watching either, I always come back).

    So must see TV? (Forgive my plagiarism of NBC's tired tag line...). NBC Nightly News. I watch it M-F religiously, even if it's sat on the DVR for some time (returned home from several months travel for work, had been working so many hours I'd no time for news- watched a month or two's worth in binge watching over a week or two). That one was a great way to catch up and see some stories I'd seen absolutely no mention of.

    The Black List. A fan of James Spader since his Boston Legal days, I got hooked on this one instantly. It's starting to get a bit tired, I'll give it one, maybe two more seasons before it fades away. But for now, I'm in.

    Marvel's Agents Of Shield. I know, many have already tired of it. And I did prefer it's replacement Agent Carter in it's off season. But I'm still following, and the DVR has plenty of room. A bit miffed when they referenced the plot of Age Of Ultron last week since I've not yet seen the movie, but I'll get over it. Season finale (2 hour) last night is still on the DVR, won't watch it until I've seen the movie (though the Ultron connection, may have simply been a passing mention to plug the current biggest movie in the world).

    I do love Westerns (said that). Been DVRing Wanted, Dead Or Alive for some time (Steve McQueen from 1959-1961). Only 3 seasons, 94 episodes. The Western's Channel (Encore) has been running 2 episodes a day. Seen them all, went through the 2nd time to catch the few I'd missed (erased those I recalled). They just finished 2nd running of the entire series tonight, I will now cancel the recording after they start over with "The Martin Poster" tomorrow night.

    So, what are yours? Most of us have at least one or two. Unless you hate TV altogether (in which case, what curiosity drew you to this thread?).

    Even a broken watch shows correct time once or twice a day. I ought to know, I have a few!
