I don't have one. It's probably three

The Sopranos - because it has everything, drama, mystery, humor, suspense. It's the best show overall

1. What's your favorite TV show and why?

Currently, the shows that I watch regularly are Everybody Loves Raymond, The Bachelor, Frasier, Will and Grace, West Wing (tape that one), and Sex and the City (I borrow my sister's taped shows since I don't get HBO). I am mainly into mindless TV. My favorite of the above is probably Sex in the City. TThe show is hilarious, and I love seeing what they are going to wear. Wish I had access to their closets! (see, I told you, I'm not real deep! )

2. Who is your favorite television star?
Sarah Jessica Parker

3. What was your favorite TV show as a child?
Probably The Partridge Family (see a trend here?)

4) What show do you think should have been cancelled by now?
Friends is getting a little stale, as is Frasier. Still, they are better written than 99% of what is on network TV, so I don't know that they should be cancelled for any other reason than they have run their course.

5. What new show do you hope escapes the axe this season?
Haven't watched any of the new shows that I am aware of.

1. What's your favorite TV show and why?

Currenlty on TV - West Wing...It is intellingently written and but yet is still fun to watch. Also it has a great ensemble cast.

Only in reruns - MASH...for the same reasons as above.

Never to be seen again - Again...American Gothic..it was sppoky and weird but before its time.

2. Who is your favorite television star?

Don't have a favorite. I think there are a lot of good actors on TV right now. I love the entire cast of West Wing. Law and Order (all versions) seem to have a great casting director who is able to choose talent. Love the cast of Will and Grace even though I think the show is getting stale.

3. What was your favorite TV show as a child?

Well the two I remember the best are The Waltons and Emergency, but it is more of a senimental reason...I use to watch them with my neighbor who was like a younger brother to me.

4. What show do you think should have been cancelled by now?

Fear Factor...hate this show more than any other reality shows. I can't even watch the preview without wondering why it is on.

5. What new show do you hope escapes the axe this season?

Haven't really watched any new shows unless you consider Monster Garage on Discovery a new show. I love watching them turn the cars into other things. And Jesse James is a hoot.
