OH! and I love the BBC DIY shows, Changing Rooms and House Invaders, as well as the BBC version of What Not to Wear. The American version of these shows are crap, IMHO.

1. All My Children (Since Day 1, TV band radio when I was working before the VCR). But now that they've killed Dixie, booted Brooke out and losing all the "regulars", I'm considering dropping it. DID I SAY THAT?!

From here, it's no particular order.
2. Any cooking competition. Top Chef, Next Food Network Star, ****'s Kitchen, etc. Iron Chef. I watched that when it was subtitled then dubbed on our Japanese station before Food Network got it.

3. Monk
4. CSI (LV only)
5. Cold Case
6. Without A Trace
7. Gordon Ramsay's "The F Word" (another cooking show)
8. Ghost Whisperer
9. Close To Home
10. Pyche


I can't wait for BBC's Life On Mars to return.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! I literally thought that I was the ONLY PERSON ON THE PLANET that had a crush on Richard Dawson! He was the best Family Feud host, hands down. Did you ever watch him in Running Man?

My top 10 must see shows:

I don't have 10...the only shows I watch on a regular basis are Extreme Makeover Home Edition, and The Young And The Restless.

Other than that I prefer reruns, especially X-Files and Seinfeld, to what it on tv today. (I hate reality tv for the most part...ESPECIALLY American Idol.)

Allison...I did and do too! Kirstie Alley was soooo young! And Richard Dawson... Match Game is one of my favorite shows even if they are reruns. The regulars crack me up!

Aphil...I loved Richard on the Family Feud as well! The old horn dog, lol!

Heck yes he was a horn dog-and what I loved, was that he gave ALL the ladies the attention-tall, short, thin, heavy, dark, light-it didn't matter. He loved ALL the ladies...

Did you ever see European Vacation, where the Pig In The Poke game show host was sort of poking fun at Richard? All the kissing and butt grabbing?

I hate reality tv as well Although I truly hate soap operas too. Since I don't have cable any more, I do miss the home shows on tv but they had already cancelled some of the ones I used to watch. I did like watching the amazing race once in a while as well as the nanny shows (nanny 911).

One thing that I enjoy now that I watch tv shows on DVD is I don't have to watch commercials! I haven't watched something that wasn't a DVD in months and it is great

Aaahhhh, Hogan's Heroes...Richard was indeed a cutie in that show. I think that was the only reason I watched, lol!

Did see European Vacation, omg, lol! Too funny!

DD said that his wife is someone who was a contestant on Family Feud. Never did look up his history to see if it was true and who it was. Wouldn't surprise me though with all that kissin' goin on.

Lost
Heroes
Studio 60
Gilmore Girls
House
Veronica Mars
Medium

I've been watching Battlestar Galactica too, but man that show is depressing, still I can't seem to stop watching it!

There are a bunch in rerun that I like to catch from time to time as well.

Yep. He did. He met Gretchen Johnson in 1981 when she played with her family. In 1990 they had a daughter and they got married in 91. She was 27 at the time. He was born in 1932. They are still together.

I got it from imdb.

One of his nicknames is the kissing bandit.
