BEST QUESTION EVER, AND ONE I HAVE (OF COURSE) THOUGHT ABOUT A LOT.
+
CLIFF WATCHES MERLIN. This is totally canon from the abandoned sequel that I think I might just scrap and start over, but that line has always delighted me and that fact will always be true.
I also decided a few years ago that at some point Howie and Arthur marathon Battlestar Galactica together. It may or may not turn out like that one skit from Portlandia.
NOW LET'S JUST BREAK THIS DOWN BY CHARACTER. Just off the top of my head ...
Howie: All the NBC Thursday shows (Community and 30 Rock are his favorites); The Colbert Report & Jon Stewart; Lost, diligently, back when it was on; Buffy and Doctor Who with Amber; Freaks & Geeks; Six Feet Under; Game of Thrones; Happy Endings (he feels quite a kinship with Max, but is also convinced that Arthur is Jane, which is tricky); Boy Meets World, nostalgically, because he & Amber used to watch it religiously when they were kids
Arthur: ANTIQUES ROADSHOW! And Nature and NOVA and all those PBS shows. He watched Downton Abbey with Kristy, and found the second season rather disappointing. Game of Thrones with Howie, and also kinda whatever Howie's watching. Has a secret, sentimental love for Parks & Rec where he watches it on Hulu devotedly on Friday mornings if he misses it when it airs. Tom is his unlikely favorite because Tom's ability to ramble on ridiculously and with great swagger for an endless amount of time reminds Arthur fondly of somebody.
Amber: The whole Whedon oeuvre; Doctor Who; Merlin; Legend of the Seeker; Robin Hood until they KILLED MARIAN; Game of Thrones; anything involving awesome ladies or Britishness, pretty much. Amber's taste in TV is pretty much my taste in TV.
Kristy: Glee; Gilmore Girls; Parks & Recreation; Modern Family; American Idol; The Voice; pretty much anything on ABC Family (lots of Greek love); New Girl; The Vampire Diaries; Lark Rise to Candleford with Cora; Downton Abbeyyyy! And, inevitably, a bunch of Disney & Nickelodeon shows targeted at young teens.
Cora: She, like Mitch, is of the opinion that Xena is pretty much the most magnificent thing TV has ever done; Spartacus (where Lucy Lawless leads, she follows); Legend of the Seeker; Lost Girl; Gilmore Girls; Downton Abbey (she spends most of the time just yelling at the TV because everyone needs to stop being bitches, but in a joyful way); Doctor Who & Torchwood; LARK RISE!

And Cliff loves Merlin.
