    Battlestar Galactica: The premise just doesn't grab me.

    Boston Legal: I don't like lawyer shows, so I'll pass on this one.
    Buffy & Angel: I liked the initial concept of Buffy, but the later seasons and the spin-off got too weird and demonic. I'll pass.
    Doctor Who: Too many time paradoxes for me to dive into this. Every time the time lord travels through time and has a wacky adventure, the present he returns to should be very different. If this doesn't happen... fail.
    Fringe: Why?
    The Game of Thrones: What's this about?
    Grim: I'm not into supernatural TV shows.
    Highlander: What's this?
    Monk: I'm not really into cop shows.
    Prison Break: I don't care for prison-based fiction.
    Sherlock: I don't like PBS programming.
    Sliders: I like alternate reality shows, but not enough to follow a series dedicated to the subject.
    Smallville: Too much of a teen drama. Roswell is the only teen drama I actually like, and that's only because it involved aliens.
    Supernatural: It's demonic and goes against Christianity in every way possible. Pass.
    True Blood: What's this about?
    The Walking Dead: The bottom line is, my mom does not like zombie fiction, and I would be watching this in the office or living room. Is it going to be graphic? If yes, this show's out.
    Sherlock is a BBC programme.

          I can't believe you missed off Stingray!
          Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.

              Oh, fair enough. I just saw Gatefan mention Captain Scarlet and Thunderbirds. He must have missed Stingray.

                  Fair question Shep!

                  Ask again when you don't have to take your mom's viewing habits into account, Snowman.

                      Nah, I Just saw the ones I happen to know from knowles list, I was never a big fan of marionnation, but Scarlett and Thunderbirds were everywhere when I was younger, any others I simply would not have known of.

                        You should definitely give Stingray a chance if you liked Thunderbirds and Scarlett.

                        Though it helps if you like mermaids too!

                          If you agree with the posters above if you are going to ask such a general questions please have an open mind. Yes everyone will not have the same interests but don't dismiss so quickly. I know from experience that some shows I overlooked in the past actually turned out better than I had imagined but there are still shows I thought were crap and still think they are.

                          Favorite quote:
                          McKay: You shot me!
                          Sheppard: Yes, Rodney, I shot you, and I said I was sorry.
                          Ronon: You shot me, too.
                          Sheppard: I’m sorry for shooting everyone!

                            So true. There are many shows in the past that I casually dismissed because they didn't appeal to me at the time. Then I'd watch an episode or two and be completely hooked. Nowadays I try not to easily dismiss anything without being more informed about it.

                              I'm going to recommend a couple of shows, though I'm not going to say what they're about. I would suggest that you go look them up yourself, from what I've read on here.

                              Heroes
                              Bleach
                              Fullmetal Alchemist/Brotherhood
                              How I Met Your Mother
                              Common Law (new show on USA)
                              The Law and Order series (any of them, really)

                              Just out of curiousity, what's Sherlock about? I've heard people talk about it on here and I'm curious.

                                Its a modern version of Sherlock Holmes, and quite well made IMHO.
                                Just imagine Holmes with access to modern tech, but keep the main characters and themes.
