I'm finding it quite dull generally waiting for the next season ... But I've been watching The Flash, is been a good time travel related distraction. Never read any of the comics, hadn't realised it had a time travel angle at all

Game of Thrones from April-June
Daredevil on demand
True Detective on demand
Probably try and catch up with The Flash from June-August
If anything there's too much good stuff these days. Doesn't make the wait for DW any easier though.
Last thing I did watch was Once Upon a Time and I loved that.
Gotham
Saturday Night Takeaway
Britain's Got Talent
Coronation Street
Could name others if I wanted but those are the main ones.
12 monkeys
continuum
orphan black
breaking bad
walking dead
humans is one I'm looking forward too...
I watched Top Gear... until Fracas-gate at least.
If there's a decent travelogue documentary on I'll watch that... wildlife documentaries too, especially if they were BBC produced.
I've told a friend I'm going to check out Once Upon A Time, though I've not gotten around to it yet!
And I'll rewatch the odd older show here and there. I'll have some spare time to watch old Doctor Who's on DVD, or maybe Buffy or The X Files.
I then play games as well, so there's some time dedicated to PS3'ing.
Beyond that I like to actually go outside, rather than deliberately find more things to watch on TV
If there's a good themed week on BBC Four that interests me, I'll follow that.
BBC wildlife documentaries.
Quirky or off the wall comedies such House of Fools, Inside No.9, Episodes.
Good dramas such as Gotham, Wolf Hall, Poldark, Happy Valley, Call the Midwife, Marvellous, The Missing.
Recordings from some of the Horror Channel's output such as the repeats of anthology series Tales From The Darkside, The Twilight Zone, Hammer House of Horror.
Dipping into Big Brother if I'm feeling particularly couch-potato-like.
The Avengers on True Entertainment.
Lillyhammer
YouTube :kitty:
Family Guy
Pointless
Britain's Got Talent
Judge Judy/Judge Rinder
Hannibal
South Park
The Walking Dead
Sherlock
Broadchurch
Grimm
I like Supernatural too.
Otherwise I watch intellectual programmes like Vicar of Dibley and Mrs Brown's Boys!
Britain's Got Talent- love a bit of variety
Eastenders
Mrs Browns Boys.
Broadchurch
Homeland
Poldark
Downton Abbey
I tried watching on DVD Madmen ( 3 series), Game of Thrones ( first season) Breaking bad ( 3 episodes- wasn't my thing ) . Mad Men will probably be the only one I go back and catch up to the last series.
I have the complete 1963-'89 range, so any random pickings from there that takes my fancy or when I've been subconsciously influenced by something outside during my day, for example, a visit to a castle or a walk near some rocky terrain, I'm in a mood to watch The Time Warrior or The Sontaran Experiment.
Arrow
Once Upon a Time
The 100
Bones
Continuum
Game of Thrones
All the Star Treks from James T Kirk to Enterprise
All the Stargate ones - I especially liked Stargate Universe and was disappointed when it was cancelled. I must have watched those two seasons about 20 times
Orange is the New Black - starting again any minute now
Almost at then end of Misfits
On catch up I'm currently watching Britain's Got Talent
Oops - I forgot The Big Bang Theory
I would add MBB to my list too.
Bates Motel
The Walking Dead
Orphan Black
Danger 5
South Park
Toast of London
Utopia
Arthur of the Britons
Children of the Stones
Chocky
Gigantor (does anyone else remember Gigantor?)
Ijon Tichy: Raumpilot
Jupiter Moon
Kaamelot
The Mind of Mr. J.G. Reeder
Raumpatrouille Orion
Sir Francis Drake
Sky
The Strange World of Gurney Slade
Tightrope
William Tell.
I also watch a fair amount of early cinema: last Saturday, for example, I rewatched Dreyer's The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928), possibly the most harrowing film ever made.
I've watched bits of The Strange World of Gurney Slade and it looks rather interesting, I'll probably invest in it someday.
It's something that does need to be watched from start to finish to be properly appreciated. You've just missed a special offer from Network, offering substantial reductions on "eccentric" material, but even at full price this is worth having on DVD. One of the recurring characters is played by Anneke Wills, being even more lovely than she is in Doctor Who. Sometimes, when I think I'm alone, I play the introductory theme on air-piano. So far, I haven't been arrested...
Seconded. Go for it, Daniel. I personally think it's an absolute masterpiece. Meta sitcom meets The Prisoner.....in 1960!
And Vopiscus...you're right. It needs to be watched in order to be fully appreciated. No spoilers, but...that ending! I was completely knocked out when I got the DVD. I love it to pieces. And the music is indeed well :cool:....daddio.
ETA How lovely to 'hear' from a fellow Gurney-ite. Usually get blank stares when I mention it.
Game of thrones
The game (hopefully getting a 2nd series)
Better call Saul
Walking dead (even though I'm starting to get fed up of it)
Wayward pines
Flash
Arrow
Big Bang theory
Dawn till dusk
W1a
Penny dreadful
The affair
Wwe nxt and also total divas
Used to watch but Gave up on for various different reasons
Homeland (last episode was pointless and annoyed me)
Gotham (had too much on but will catch up when it goes on Netflix)
American horror story ( kind of lost its way after season 2. Might go back just to see if it's any better)
Outlander (only seen the first 2 episodes and not impressed yet but still wanting to carry on just haven't had time)
Agents of shield (missed a week due to holiday but will catch up when it goes on Amazon prime like season 1)
Hoping to watch soon
Daredevil (after outlander I think)
Prison break
Grimm
Heroes (I've already seen it but hopefully again before the show comes back)
Dvd/blu Ray wise
Currently watching on blu: world at war (it's a ww2 documentary series)
Currently watching on dvd : bleach (it's an anime TV series)
Gave up on blu Ray: batman 1960s blu Ray as no time (will go back after world at war)
Next dvd: Sherlock hound (anime)
Next blu: probably heroes
