I've become a fan of "Sons and Daughters" on ABC.  :yay

Hell, even 60 minutes is aggrandized bullshtein scare tactic crap. 

As RJS said, if you're gonna watch, you want to see quality.  And there isn't much of that out there.  The only thing I TiVo:

House
Mythbusters
Justice League.
(Don't have pay channels)

Outside of that, I watch pro football and college BB.  If I'm channel surfing, I wind up on the History/Discovery channels or a movie on TCM.

The rest of TV, dramatic or comedy, sucks ripe donkey dick.

I watched the first season of Survivor and TRIED to watch the second one, and couldn't. The only good season was the first.

Same.  Haven't watched since the very first season.



There are my shows I watch for quality drama/comedy/information... such as Lost, CSI, The Boondocks, Scrubs, My Name is Earl, Family Guy, Justice League and a few others.

But there are also shows I watch just to dumb down and laugh at for a little bit... that's where shows like "The Flavor of Love" and "Beauty and the Geek" come in.

If you don't take TV so seriously... there's some watchable stuff out there.

my TV watching is limited.

farg all reality shows...it's mindless crap. when i watch i usually only watch a handful of different shows...

House, 24, maybe one of the CSI's if i catch one from the start, and same thing for the Law and Order shows. I also like Dirty Jobs and Mythbusters, although even those i dont watch all the way through. and I like the Office.

i'll watch sports of course. but usually if it isnt the phils, or the birds, it's half assed anyway even when the phils are on...it's pretty half assed.

i may watch a smattering of other shows, but nothing regularly, and not much from beginning to end.

and tivo is wonderful...other than 24, i dont watch any of the shows i like when they originally air. i usually sit down about 20-30 minutes late...just so the tivo can go though and skip the commercials and i can get through a one hour show in about 43 minutes.

Shows I watch religiously (and I mean, these are the ones that are set to record each new episode):

Lost
The OC (shut up and leave me alone, I'm a chick, I'm allowed)
The Office
Sons and Daughters
Sopranos
Invasion

I also love all Law & Order shows, but SVU and the original are the best. I will watch them whenever they are on USA or any of the 23 channels they play on.  ;) I'll watch Daily Show when I can catch it and some other shows here and there when there is nothing else on.

I agree the first season of Survivor was the best - probably because no one really understood the dynamics of how to play (except Hatch, of course).  After that, it's gotten pretty fomulaic.

mmmkay.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

SciFi has Dr Who now?

Yea it's all updated with new CGI effects but it still maintains that B level movie sci fi feel from the pilot. I don't think I'll stick with it. I don't like TV that much and I hate to be pinned down to have to watch something every week.... Damn HBO and their Sopranos Deadwood cocktail!! When's Deadwood start up again anyway?

i'm not ashamed to admit i watch american idol whenever i can.  a girlfriend a few years back used to wacth so i ended up watching with her, and now i've watched ever since.  i don't stay home or make plans around it, but if i'm home and not watching anything, i'll watch it.  at least these kids have some talent, unlike most reality shows.

now i'm leaving work to get drunk.
