Mine are:-

Highs - 24!! This series is absolutely brilliant. Every episode is really exciting, edge of your seat stuff. Can't wait for Sundays to get my fix of Jack!!

Lows - Dr Who. I am really disappointed with this new series. DT is a great new Doctor, but the scripts are really naff, although the effects are just as great. OH well, we are only at episode 2, there is time for it to improve I hope.

Highs (prepare yourself, some of it is right trash!): Lost Season 2 (up to ep 18), Invasion, The Apprentice, Beauty and the Geek

No lows, these are pretty much the only things I watch.

Highs - Sharpe (yesterday and Sunday), Desperate Housewives (still enjoying, though slightly less than the first series), I'ts not easy being green (for some reason, I really like Dick Strawbridge, and the rest of his family), Dr Who. Um, not sure what else.
Lows: nothing in particular, never got into Lost, so the fact that it's coming back is a bit wasted on me, ditto 24.

No, I like them - I like the fact that they're a bit strange. Makes me laugh. Also Dick Strawbridge's moustacheGrin. First saw him on 'Scrapheap Challenge', and I like his enthusiasm. Call me weirdWink...

uggh. she just makes me bristle. strange. nothing strange about her at all.

they've got nothing on that one, excellent gentlemen featured on 'Grand Designs' who built his house on a budget of £25,000, and man, that thing was as green as it gets.

But these wannabees w/their £1m plot in Cornwall? Yawn.

I agree - the guy in Grand Designs was amazing, and so was the house. But I also like the fact that the Strawbridges, for all the building of bio-diesel plants etc, also like their home comforts - to encourage people not to see being 'green' as an 'all or nothing' type of thing - we can all go some way along the line and do some things to help the environment.

I just wish they'd featured a normal family on taht show, Jackie. It's just another planet for most of us, the world the Strawbridges inhabit.

Would have been much more interesting to see a normal family going through the process - applying for permission to put in solar panels, the process of getting grant money for it, etc.

Selling Houses lost its appeal to me when they started going abroad. Yawn. Who cares? Another property abroad show. Just like the new Kirsty and Phil vehicle - your 'investment' property. BO-ring.

Yes, EPIS, I agree it's not quite what I thought it was going to be. The first programme looked the most promising, where they were going round their house showing how much energy they used etc - if they'd stayed living there and adapted their lifestyle it might have been more useful for 'real' people to copy (but there was a programme along those lines not so long ago, wasn't there? I remember a woman on a bike advising families how to reduce their energy consumption - I guess it would have been a re-hash of that).

There's gonna be a lot of 'crash pad' tonight on Kirsty and Phil's new show. It's really a cue to views to grab a pillow and 'crash' on their couch from boredom.

It's Not Easy Being Green but it really helps if you employ your children, a gardener and electrician full time and then spend vast amounts of money to help with your greenness.

Highs - House, CSI, quite enjoy New Tricks and chuckle at the Curious House Guest or whatever it's called with Jeremy Musson only because it's a fantastic look at how the other side live.

Lows - Eastenders, Bill - have completely stopped watching now, not enjoying Green Wing as much and have had it up to here with property programmes/relocation programmes where everyone seems to have squillions quid. Get into the real world please!

Highs - My Name is Earl and channel 5 is surprisingly good - loving thursdays with house and grey's anatomy. Oh, and ER and American Idol of course.

Lows - Buzzcocks finishing last night - the only programme guaranteed to make me laugh out loud every week.
