What's your Favorite TV Show?

Well my favorite show ever is Everybody Loves Raymond. Although my fav current show (that is,

still in production) is Family Guy. Some others I really like are:

Two and a half Men
King of

Queens
The Class
The Daily Show
The Colbert Report
Fosters
Simpsons
Futurama
Are You Being

Served? (70s British comedy)

I also like that new comedy on CBS, Rules of Engagement.

I have a lot of favourite cartoons that I’d

usually watch, but I don’t have cable where I live now so I don’t check the t.v. often. I only watch The Daily

Show and The Colbert Report right before I sleep now. :slight_smile:

I’m like, the only who likes primetime dramas.

:laughing:

Forgot to mention- my brother got me

into Scrubs and Arrested Development- they’re both hilarious! xD

How could I forget Lost ? That is an amazing

show!!!

Yay! A primetime (er… actually it’s rather past

primetime) ABC watcher!
I was a big Lost fan, but now I’m kinda getting tired of being in the dark all the

time. They created too many questions, in my opinion. I still watch it every week though!

Who here has TiVo?

Ha I don’t even have cable. :smiley:

Sky+ FTW! :laughing:

FONY- And Scrubs FTW! I swear I’m in love with Dr. Cox.

I’m into this new game show on FOX, Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? It’s absolutely

hysterical that almost nobody can answer the questions. This one guy didn’t even know what two times five is!

:laughing:

Yea, I’ve seen it too. Kinda sad to see how ignorant America has come to these days. :unamused:

If I was in the audience, I would prolly be kicked out the building for smackin some sense into these

people! :angry: 8D

Throw me on that show a couple times , betcha I come out a millionare every time! :-D)

:mrgreen:

Not really . A majority of those questions are things that you would automatically forget

after you pass the test . I mean , I didn’t even know some of those questions . Also , they add new math things

every year , like how they just made a new definition for prime number . And how many of you know what a

box-and-whisker plot is ?

just trying to prove a point . :slight_smile: :wink:

Yea, you can consider that but on the flip side, there’s just some things that

you can’t possibly forget. But it depends on age too. For me my memory’s pretty good. I mean come on "how

many sides does a rhombus have?" jeesh :unamused: . The lady guessed 11!

What is the “new”

defenition for prime number? I thought it was a number that could only be divided by 1 and itself. And as for box

and whisker plots, they were used to determine the ranges of a certain group of numbers using a number line. Not

that I’m some kind of genius or somethin. :wink: :mrgreen:

Box and Whisker plots pop up again in Alegebra II, the level I’m at as a high

school sophomore. They seem extremely pointless to me. :unamused:

Wait til ya take Calculus. :angry: ugh, derivatives

:imp:

A short list:

Futurama, South Park, Clone

High, The Simpsons, Undergrads, Arrested Development, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Seinfeld, Rome,

American Dad, Family Guy, Law and Order, CSI, Fullmetal Alchemist, Cowboy Bebop, Mystery Science Theater 3000,

Mythbusters, Penn & Teller: BS! – I censored that last one [i]because I

care[/i].

I saw an episode of Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? last night, and it made me a

little disappointed. Some lady thought Oprah was a pronoun, and she had to cheat her way through first grade

grammar.

A prime number is a

positive integer greater than or equal to 2 divisible only by 1 and itself, to be

more precise :wink: This means that the positive integer 1, by definition, is not a prime number. The reason I

mentioned this is that they used to consider 1 a prime number (which is precisely why they restated this

mathematical postulate called “Goldbach’s Conjecture” to a more modernized version, if you will).

However, in the 1800s, mathematicians decided to change the formal definition of a prime number so that 1 is no

longer considered a prime; this makes sense to me, since the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, which states that

all natural numbers greater than 1 have a unique prime factorization, would also make sense (e.g., if 1 were a

prime number, then 4 wouldn’t have a unique prime factorization because it can be written as 2 x 2 or 2 x 2 x 1,

etc.) In short, it’s actually been a while since they last changed the definition of a prime number…

:slight_smile:

Anyway, back on topic… I’ve seen one episode of [i]Are You Smarter than a Fifth

Grader?[/i] and I actually really liked the show (I’m from Canada, so there were a few U.S. History

questions that I either had to guess on or just flat out got wrong :wink: ) I’m hoping to see more of it once I

finish my finals.

Thnx fo the explanation CSolo. :wink:

I was taught that 1 wasn’t a prime number from the beginning so I wouldn’t have thought it was

“new” :mrgreen:

The show’s growing on me a lil now too. Now that I see some people aren’t as

pitiful. :mrgreen:

I have recently become attached to Dancing with the Stars. We all kow the

reason why. John Ratzenberger of course.
