I don't have cable so I don't have too many choices when I watch. However I have watched several episodes of:
CASTLE- - - I love it but it interferes with another favorite so I HuLu it.
THE GOOD GUYS- - - Great combination of comedy and Cops. Plus one of the hottest babes on TV.
BURN NOTICE- - - good plotting plus likeable characters. Great shots of Miami.
THE GOOD WIFE- - - Not bad when they don't go all mushy over social issues.
NCSI- - - still good but wearing thin. Too gruesome on Ducky's table.
Hawaii 50- - - I like plus some fantastic scenery.
NCSI San Diego (?) OK but Linda Hunt as a super spy assassin?
Blue Bloods- - - Hard to believe Tom Selleck is a Grandpa but he is surrounded by great characters and good plots so far.

I spend most of my time reading but it is nice to know that on the days when I haven't got a good book to read there might be something interesting on the Boob Tube.

Did I get the right show for the Linda Hunt character?

I left out MY NAME IS EARL but it has been on several years. I just started watching it recently though and it has to be one of the funniest TV shows ever. Rednecks can be entertaining.

The Good Wife...well, I just want to throw up anytime those two even touch. Ew! So I avoid it most of the time.
Hawaii 5-0...it's good, I watch it.
Blue Bloods...so-so, I watch most of the time.
The others I don't like.

"NCIS: Los Angeles" ? I don't watch that one often, but "NCIS" has been appointment TV for me since it started some years ago.

Same with "Burn Notice," and "Castle".
I do watch "The Good Guys" - very funny.
Couldn't get into "The Good Wife," "Blue Bloods" or "Hawaii Five-O"

The only new network show I've gotten hooked on is "Detroit 1-8-7." Terrific acting all around.

I forgot that one Tiger Lily and I agree, it is very good. The Fitch(?) character is great. The young Black partner is a good match. I don't recall ever seeing either one of them in anything before but the casting department nailed it with them.

I enjoy the NOVA shows on PBS. And still like Grey's Anatomy. The Event is a new one, has that mysterious kind of story. The Big Bang Theory is a good sitcom.

Some of the new ones that I like are Blue Bloods and Chase. I tried the new Jim Belushi/Jerry O'Connell one but couldn't get into it. Don't like the one guy on Hawaii Five O so can't get into that either. Looks like some of the new ones coming on after the first of the year may be pretty good, though.

Yeah, westerns used to be popular on TV! Now, it's not. What I hate the most are reality shows. They're just too fake and nasty for me!
