Almost 5 days a week now, you can catch me in front of the TV watching reruns of "Law and Order". Course I still like Trek. No doubt about it, but the fact that the writers are doing a horrid job of it is kinda pushing me to find an alternative source of entertainment.
What about you? In the absense of good eps from Star Trek, what are you watching?

I also spend inordinate amounts of time watching documentaries on TLC with my dad

I think Andrew has the best covered already:
Stargate-SG1, Buffy, Angel and Earth: Final Conflict. Add to that: Cleopatra 2525 and I hope Andromeda.

At any rate, a small list of what I've been watching this summer:
Inside the Actor's Studio
Blackadder (mostly the third and the fourth ones)
Mystery Science Theater 3000
Uh...a whole bunch of stuff that I don't catch regularly out of laziness.

There's two men with taste. They stopped airing SQ after 8th grade ended (that's three years ago for those of you who don't know me). That first season of SQ (not the other two) ranks up there with the best of Science Fiction. How Rob Schnieder should be in more things ...
Funny thing here is tht Voyager's on practically all the time. TNG Sundays at 6. Voyager at 8 on UPN, 9 on FOX (week days). DS9 at 11 (week days).
Frasier gets my fix during the Voyager (Janeway "Coffee, Black .. Oil, Crude") era. The most hillarious, yet true, quote a few nights ago from Niles: "Lawyers are like my patients; they have excellent health insurance yet they only get worse."

On another tone, is it true that in Canada they have a network that covers live 24/7 Hockey and Lax? If there is such a thing, I wish I had it.
LOL, Sol System, I love the quote. Picard jokes are always the best ...

"I mean, come on! The movie was a comedy for crying out loud!"
Er, I'm not getting this argument. Monty Python and the Hoy Grail was a comedy movie, does that make it crap?
Or are you saying that the TV show isn't good because it's not a comedy? Cause that's a weird argument.
I mean, come on, the TV show was cardboard sets! The movies and spin-offs are crap because they've got money!

I'm trying to think of a serious show that's been made into a funny movie. Does ST IV count?
Actually, what about Batman, who manages to go from extremely camp, to dark and mysterious, to loud crap and nipplely quite easily?

And I think what Fabrux meant was that since the buffy-movie was a comedy it shouldn't be judged as hard as, say, "mission to mars", in terms of scifi. (skiffy?)

Buffy the series rocks! It is definatly one of my all time favourite series. Angel could have been beter, but I hope we'll see that happen next season.
BTW: I missed one in my line-up: Charmed.
BTW2: My friend have brought me into the Vampire mood, by means of the 'Vampire: the Masquerade' RPG. Pitty that the PC game isn't all that good though.

I echo these sentiments. Such words cannot be used on a sci-fi UBB without the suggestion that we have a *ahem* female among us.
Lets not have the Flare version of Squiggles. Please, lets not.
Typical TOP post:
Squiggles: Um, ya, Star Trek is soooo cool, guys!
TOP member: Oh, yes, Squiggles. You are quite correct. Did I mention how intelligent you are ...
