Me:
Stargate: Universe ... only one episode left in the season, and I think they've just been getting better and better.
Chuck ... dayum, that was an awesome finale, after kind of an uneven season.
Doctor Who ... the girls and I jumped onboard with this new doctor and I am really loving it (I confess to downloading each ep ASAP after it airs in England, as well as the Confidential/"making of" that follows.) Now I'm slowly getting caught up on seasons 1-4 of nuWho on Netflix streaming.
Burn Notice is back! Warehouse 13 is coming back soon!
How about you?

I too have fallen in with the new Doctor. At least they've got the love triangle thing gone early.
I love Bones, as always. That show always delivers.
And Top Gear. They're playing repeats here every other day and it's still always funny. Yesterday they all had to make police cars and apprehend the Stig, but Jeremy's attack wheel spikes actually just caused his tire to come off. And Richard had more fin driving through boxes than apprehending criminals. And James' siren had come off an ice cream van. very funny.
Oh, and Glee. Last week directed by Joss Wheden and starring Neil Patrick Harris. There was a sing-off. It was awesome.

Gretchen and I are psychic blood brothers when it comes to TV; she just listed all my favorites.
If you have HBO, the life and times of Tim is really funny. Bored to Death and Entourage are coming back too, and my favorite vampire soap opera, True Blood.
I've been watching Justified and I like it a lot.
Saw the first episode of Persons Unknown; sort of a LOST ripoff with undertones of the Prisoner.

My friend is going to Supanova as Chuck... seems to me there's not much to that costume!

Well I finally got around to watching Chuck last night. You didn't tell me Adam Baldwin was in it. And the credits also listed Tony Todd though I didn't see him, but Ben says he was there. Not bad show at all, bit of a flimsy idea but fun.

Tony Todd's in a few at the beginning, but Baldwin's throughout. Good show.
Really liking the new Dr. Who. Always a good time.
Tosh.0 is back and Warehouse 13 is coming back (Entourage too!)
True Blood is pretty depraved this year, but it's fun how stupid it is.

Me and my ten year old daughter really love the new Dr. Who and we've been watching seasons 1 through 3 now. The only difficulty is my daughter is just beginning to learn english and there are no dutch subtitled to download anywhere. So in the weekends I spend a lot of time manually translating the entire series.... (Google-translate sucks I tell ya!)

Glip, my 13yo and I have been taking the same Who Road.... jumped in with the Matt Smith series, then slowly catching up with 1-4 of nuWho. Actually she burned through them in a couple weeks (thanks to Netflix instant watch here in the US) but I stalled out early in 4. I need to get back to it, but just so many other things keeping me busy.
And my September entertainment calendar is an embarrassment of riches. Still catching up on the last few eps of Burn Notice before their mid-season break, Warehouse 13 is kickin', AND coming back this month: Merlin, Castle, Chuck, and Stargate:Universe! No date for Spooks season nine yet, but it will be later this fall.
It's nuts how slow US networks are to work out the international rights, but I hear they're getting better. BBC I understand more since they're basically funded with a "user fee" and don't have commercial behemoths steering the finances.

Still stuck in translating season 4 of Who, but my daughter took some time off from our dear doctor because she got nightmares of giant pepperpots rolling into her bedroom shouting EXTERMINATE

Oh dear! lol
Sigh. We gave up on Chuck after the first episode this season. Not even Dolph could save it. Just not feeling it anymore.
Loving Castle and SG:U more and more every week though. Is anyone watching No Ordinary Family? I think I want to give it a go.

Castle comes on right after Bones here, and it suffers from the comparison in my mind.
