Pretty much the same as the "What anime are you watching right now?" thread in the anime and manga sub-forum except in this thread you post shows you are currently watching that aren't anime.

I just finished re-watching Chappelle's Show, including the "lost" episodes.
At the moment I am currently watching the American version of The Office via instant Netflix. Hilarious show. I'm about to go into the third season.
I really, really liked the ending of the second season finale.

I binged long and hard on Lost. So now I'm really not watching anything actively. Occasionally, I watch Battlestar Galactica/Firefly with some friends, or Gargoyles/Highlander with my girlfriend. I'm looking to start watching something regularly on my own sometime soon. Not sure what that should be, just that Stargate SG-1, Babylon 5, Star Trek: Voyager, and The X-Files are under consideration.

As I began writing this reply I realised that I'm not following non-anime TV shows right now. Apart from Lost and Battlestar Galactica I haven't watched American TV shows in a long while - and it's not like there's anything worth watching right now. The hyped Breaking Bad was a miss for me and I haven't even tried other shows. I also remembered that I haven't yet watched the last season of Monty Python's Flying Circus. Apart from that I don't have plans to watch anything. I might give Babylon 5 a try at some point though.

currently, i'm watching life unexpected (what? i'm a girl, leave me alone), cold case (can't believe it's over...). i'm also into primeval, torchwood, and/or whatever is on BBCE tuesday nights (including doctor who, but unfortunately all they seem to show is reruns from the martha days so i never get anything new...).

i was all about house md until the beginning of the year, but now that they decided to give cameron the boot, things have sort of gone blah so i'm not exactly eagerly awaiting the new episodes.

in january i spent five whole weekends lumped on my couch watching lost marathons, just so i could be completely caught up for the last season... and then i forgot to watch it. :doh: meh, guess i'll have to wait until there's a marathon for the last season...

also, waiting on merlin to start again, as well as psych which has only one more month to go until the new season premiere.
bittersweet ending: episode 24. the angels are gone and mankind is safe... but tokyo-3 has been ruined; Kaji is dead; toji is a cripple; kensuke, hikari, and their families have moved away, taking pen-pen with them; Asuka is catatonic; ritsuko is in prison; Misato is a nervous wreck; Rei is "the third one"; and Shinji is utterly broken psychologically after having to kill the only person who has offered him unconditional love in the course of the whole series. come the movie? don't worry! it gets worse! ~from the source of all wisdom in the world.

I'm forever watching Top Gear reruns on Dave. I always catch Doctor Who on Saturdays (looking forward to the finale) and I recently saw the finale of the rather good 'Luther' on the BBC, which ended on a cliffhanger, but sadly due to low-ish ratings probably won't be recommissioned, which is a shame as most of the episodes were fantastic.

I'm watching Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood with my sister. She's showing it to me as Funimation releases the DVDs, and we just finished the first collection. Can't wait for the next batch to come out.

@FFF4E-- :thumbsup: brotherhood rules. i'm watching that as well, only i didn't add it to my list. but yeah.

@CoL-- pretty sure it's still ongoing. in fact, they were filming for series three back in march/april. unless you know something i don't. (which wouldn't surprise me, as i'm not exactly up with the times when it comes to BBC series).

No, you probably know more about it then I do. I just thought it was canceled because I hadn’t heard anything about it in quite some time, not because I had any real info on its cancellation.

Also, you’ve got nothing to be embarrassed about when it come to life unexpected. I also watch the show from time to time.

Moving onto the original Office series, starring Ricky Gervais.
I'm also checking out "Better Off Ted". I saw the first three episodes of "Ren &amp Stimpy: Adult Party Cartoon"... wow.

Just saw The Book of Eli and Kick-Ass. Of the two, I say Kick-Ass was the better movie.

Kick-Ass was a really good film because it defied your expectations. Nothing about it was strictly cliche. There was always something to throw you out of your comfort zone.

I started rewatching Steven Spielberg's Taken. It's just as awesome as I remembered.

I've been on a David Lynch kick lately. Most recently I watched Inland Empire... still trying to make some degree of sense out of that one, much more difficult that the other stuff I've seen from him. I'm just getting ready to watch Twin Peaks (somehow avoided it when it was actually on TV), so maybe I'll go back over that one again afterwards.
