What's your favorite TV show?

"'The First 48.' Different detectives solve crimes in the first 48 hours. It's on A&E. I like how quickly they solve the crimes." (Dalon likes "Yo Gabba Gabba!" on Nick Jr.)

"'The Andy Griffith Show' (TV Land). I just love that show. I like Aunt Bee. It's a back-in-the-day show, a family show."

"Anything on VH1. Reality shows. True love. Maybe because of the reality part of it. They are funny. The new season is coming (today)."

"'Law and Order: Special Victims Unit' (8 p.m. Wednesdays, KSDK Channel 5). I like the action. Elizabeth (her granddaughter) likes Sprout, a direct TV channel for kids that has shows such as Berenstain Bears and Barney. It's interactive and educational."

"'Fringe' (a science-fiction series about an FBI division that uses fringe science and FBI techniques to study the patterns in ghastly occurrences around the world). It's like a new type of 'X-Files.' It's interesting. It's in its second season."

"I like 'CSI' (on KMOV, Channel 4), just the mystery of it. I like all three CSI shows."

"'Two and a Half Men' (8 p.m. Mondays on KMOV, Channel 4). It's just a comedy that's enjoyable. How they get by with it on prime-time TV is beyond me."

Gene Coleman, 68

"'So You Think You Can Dance' (7 p.m. Tuesdays, KTVI, Channel 2) and 'Dancing With The Stars' (8 p.m. Tuesdays, KDNL Channel 30). My daughter (Lexi) does competitive cheerleading. We like all the costumes and seeing the different dances."
