What show/movie/other thing are you watching at the moment?
I'm catching up on the last couple of weeks of Nikita as I shop online. It's good background noise. ;D

I have not too much time for watching anything on TV, not to mention the fact, that a lot of shows weren't aired in my country at all or only older season were aired. But at the age of the internet this shouldn't be a problem.
SO, I watch Merlin at the moment and wanna watch H5O ( I'v seen already season 1). I'll continue to watch Doctor Who. Additionally I watch a new Hungarian series called "Hacktion" - this is about a of group of secret agents whose task is to defend the important systems from hackers and/or criminals. Not bad at all.

I'm watching Merlin too, quite enjoying this season so far.  I've stopped watching Doctor Who though... just haven't been as invested since David Tennant left. I haven't had any motivation to watch H5O. It sounds like you're enjoying it; what do you like about it? Do you get lots of good domestic TV shows from Hungary?  |

I love the new season of Merlin in many ways. As Doctor Who, I also preferred David Tennant's DOctor first. But I gave them a chance and I have to tell you, I still enjoy the show.
Unfortunately not, there are quite a few recently. Money issue, you know. They invest only into endless soap operas and stupid reality shows, arghh!

DW - I did watch season 5, but everything just got more and more confusing and frantic and after a while I realised I just wasn't emotionally invested in any of the characters anymore, so I stopped watching. I do have plans to catch up though. I want to visit buffyann next year and hang out at her house and we're gonna watch the entire sixth season in one go. It's sad that the shows that get the most viewers and money are reality shows and soaps. Although reality shows could be entertaining. I'm watching this English version of Survivor (sort of) called Shipwrecked that I'm quite enjoying. It's just fun to see how they edit it together and manipulate people's personality profiles and stuff. ;D |

You will like the new DW after wathing season 6.  I haven't answered your question regarding H5O yet. I like the main characters, love the way how the actors (Alec O'Loughlin is ♥!) play them and I'm in love with the beautiful landscapes of Hawaii! Additionally the stories are really good. I can not view our reality shows, they are terrible, trust me. There is a show now on, in which there are young men, ready to marry one of the girls are also in the show, there are also the mens' mothers. All the interactions between them are SO unreal, that makes me just run away from this, literally.  |

And I like Matt Smith in other things but somehow he just doesn't really work as the Doctor for me... I might give H5O a try, but there are so many things on the list to watch first! ;D |

I really, really love Eleven. He almost instantly became "my" doctor. So I really enjoyed the past two seasons, even though I didn't much like the season six finale. I'm also watching Merlin and I'm very, very impressed by this season so far--oh show, this is what you could have been all along. I'm also watching How I Met Your Mother, Castle, The New Girl, Miranda and Parenthood, and I'm trying to get caught up with older shows at the same time. I want to get caught up with Mad Men before the new season and I'm still trying to get caught up with The West Wing and FNL, and I still have season one of Six Feet Under lying about. So. Quite a lot  |

I watch CSI, CSI: NY, Criminal Minds, and Top Chef.
A friend and I are catching up on Ringer and also have Once Upon a Time and Grimm to give a try too.
I stopped watching Doctor Who too because I just didn't have enough of a reason to come back. I do think Eleven and Amy are fun though. I also watched H50 for a while but the cheese and a few other things made me stop watching.

legoline - Ten is definitely my Doctor. But I have an inordinate love of David Tennant and would happily sit listening to him read the phone book. (I sort of do already... I have his Mastercard commercial saved somewhere and sometimes just open it up to listen to his awesome accent, so much shame.) That's a lot of stuff to get through! My vote is Mad Men. ;D zippit - I've got Once Upon a Time on my HD too and keep meaning to get around to it, but other things get in the way. I'm addicted to Ringer; sooo soapy and the clothes are awesome and the men are hot. ;D

@ obsessive24 oh, don't get me wrong, I adore David Tennant ;D But I can't help it, I'm Team XI. Believe me, I wasn't prepared for that either I'm already through the first two seasons of Mad Men and I LOVE it. Oh, Jon Hamm. *cough* No, seriously, it's an excellent show |

@obsessive24 I keep hearing that Once Upon a Time is pretty awesome. Who can resist fairy tales?
I've also just started Homeland and it's such a good TV show. Damian Lewis is wonderful as always.

Once Upon a Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime!! It is hands down my favorite of the new shows, and the vidding potential is kind of off the charts. Other than that, I'm watching a bunch of stuff including my guilty pleasure Wednesday reality tv lineup, zippit, we should talk Top Chef . But I haven't really been moved to actually talk about any of it much. My major fannish type investment generally goes to Doctor Who, and that's on hiatus. Also a total Eleven and Team Ponds girl here. I also have an insane love for David Tennant, just not so much Ten anymore  But I will watch the Tennant in just about anything he does EVER, because he is amazing and should marry me. True story, I actually planned an entire trip to the UK around going to see him in Hamlet (which rocked). |

It's extra sad because I actually did go to London in July for the Harry Potter premiere but of course the play was sold out by then. (And of course it was like the only weekend that didn't have a showing of "Mephisto" starring Arthur Darvill. My life, so sad.) |

eunice, yes yes we definitely should. Do you have any favorite yets? I adore Tennant. He's such a wonderful actor. When I hear of him being in plays it makes me wish I wasn't in the States.
