[lcordero]

1. The Cartoon Network Mostly

Some C-Span

[liberalpress]

36. Icordero Said...

"The Cartoon Network Mostly" and then he said: Some C-Span. Isn't that redundant?

[MoonGod]

2. Daily Show and NOW w/Bill Moyers...

... Those are the only 2 I make a point of watching.

I'll sometimes watch some CSPAN or one of the cable news networks... sometimes watch The Practice, ER, Whose Line, or Letterman (all shows my g/f watches and I find entertaining enough to sit in front the TV w/her.. ;))

[AlabamaYankee]

26. Second those choices

and Samauri Jack when I can catch it.

[REP]

3. I Am A Proud Watcher of Crap!

During the day, I watch CourtTV. I started watching it because I cannot do soaps, and kept watching it because some of the commentators are intelligent. They also don't shy away from when the system fucks up and gives a lot of These Are Your Rights type information.

I watch all the flavors of Law and Order, as well as ER, NYPD Blue, The Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy and The Daily Show. Of all of these, my heart belongs to The Daily Show.

[NJCher]

4. My faves:

48 Hours Mystery
City Confidential (A & E)
Monk

Daily Show, of course

BBC News
Bill Moyers
Sometimes Dateline, Primetime, 48 Hours and 60 Minutes, depending on what they're covering
C-Span


Cher

[Rhiannon12866]

5. The Food Network

On the commercial networks: ``Frasier,'' ``Everybody Loves Raymond'' and ``Scrubs.'' :shrug:

[Friar]

6. I'm not a typical viewer, I guess, but

history channel
discovery
tlc
then I flip through the "news" channels

I'd watch movies but I really prefer letterbox so the movie channels don't attract me.

Oh, and Striperella. On TnT? TNN? It's a suprisingly funny satire in the same vein as The Tick. only sexier :)

[izzie]

7. I have hardly heard of those shows.

I watch History CH. and Law and Order, and the Cold case files, sometimes those things on Lifetime plus News, old movies and c-span.I also put on some of my old movie that I have 100's of.I did like some of the shows on A and E but most seems to be gone. Your know the Eng. ones.

[molly]

8. When I watch TV it's CSI, Law and Order, Monk

there are a couple of news starting this fall we rented Six Feet Under, so we are fans of that now too.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

9. Anything with Sam Waterston in it

which nowadays means "Law and Order", but I watch his films when they are on TV as well. This actor walks his talk, and is hip deep in supporting humanitarian/liberal causes. Only other thing I watch with any regularity is Trading Spaces.

[obietiger]

10. In the summer, I watch

sporting events
reruns of Law & Order on TNT.
(Some evenings you can get 2 or 3 Law & Order shows in a row.)

During the regular tv season:
all 3 Law & Orders
CSI
24
Everybody Loves Raymond
That '70's Show.

[Loonman]

11. Moreso DVDs than TV

But shows I watch are:

Nova

Weather Channel's Storm Stories

South Park

That 70s Show

Gilmore Girls

Scrubs

WUSA Soccer

Arsenal FC games on Fox Sports World

Monday Night Football

Jackie Chan Adventures

Jack Hannah's Animal World

The Simpsons

Worlds Strongest Man competition(ESPN)

Cheerleading(ESPN2)

Grounded For Life

Savage Seas(PBS)

Any and all shows about animals, ancient civilizations, history or military history

[BigMcLargehuge]

12. My viewing habits

Generally I am a late night TV watcher, and that's only because I have a small TV beside my computer. But, here we go:

In broad terms I prefer animated television and documentaries to just about anything else and I loath sitcoms (unless they are British) and police shows (except Monk and Keen Eddie).

Stuff I actually go out of my way to watch:

Family Guy (M-Th) 11:30PM
The Adult Swim block on Sunday nights from 11PM-1AM
South Park
Father Ted
Chef
Smallville (new episodes only)
Keen Eddie
Chapelle's Show
The Daily Show

Stuff I watch when my brain doesn't want to work anymore:

Wild Discovery (deep sea animals, insects, and reptiles are my favorite)
History Undercover
C-Span (for background noise while I work)
Discovery Wings Channel (during lunch hour)
Reruns of Star Trek
Monk

[BiggJawn]

13. Nothing.

I have no cable.

Oh, OK, when I'm at my GF's we watch Food Network, and I have Christopher Lowell on in the shop at work, but that's it.

[supernova]

14. Since you asked

in no particular order, I usually make a point of watching:

Smallville
Gilmore Girls
Charmed
Reba
Almost anything on PBS
CSI, both flavors
BBC News


If I have access to cable at someone else's house
Food Network - anything
HGTV - like the decorating more than the gardening.
AMC - love a good old movie
Discovery Channel - I'm a nerd, OK?

That's about it. Other than the news in the AM while I eat breakfast, I try to stay away from daytime TV. It's brainless.

edit: Oh yeah, Judging Amy! I love that show.

[eyesroll]

15. We're a Neilsen family this week!

I always wondered how people became Neilsen families...now I know...the Neilsen Corp. sends you a postcard 6 weeks out, a letter 5 weeks out saying you'll receive a "long distance phone call" in a few days, then a phone call despite your presence on the state do-not-call list, then they send you a postcard explaining that you'll get a "red, white and blue Priority Mail envelope" in a few days, then the actual envelope with the diaries in it, and then a phone call and a postcard to confirm you got everything. (I suspect in a week or two we'll get another phone call and postcard asking if we mailed the things in.)

Oh, and we got $15 in cash in the priority-mail envelope.

In other words, they spam you into submission.

Anyway, sorry for the brief hijack.

This week, we've been watching a lot of news and C-SPAN. I know that sounds like typical making-yourself-look-better stuff, but with the crap hitting the fan re: *, Niger, Uranium, even Republicans ripping neocons a new one, well, that's what we've been watching.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer in syndication, too.

Normally, I watch Buffy, Angel, Scrubs, 70s Show, Good Eats (I have a weird crush on Alton Brown) and a lot of CNN, Food Network and Weather Channel.

[UrbScotty]

16. Whatever you do, don't mention anything on ANY Fox network.

Fox Network, Fox News, Fox Spoprts, etc.

But you knew that, right?

[eyesroll]

19. But, of course!

I do like our local Fox 6 morning news (for its sheer boneheadedness first thing in the a.m.), but I've switched to our NBC affiliate for the week...

[liberalpress]

37. Except for 24...

... I LOVE that show."

[phishhead]

43. Simpsons.

Its on Fox, but its still good

[Zephyrbird]

51. Weird crush on Alton Brown??

Oh yeah, I know what you mean. I don't know why either, just love watching him.

The Turkey Show.

The Butter show.

The honey show.

The roast beef show.

His sister needs chocolate chip cookies for the bake sale show!

[MissMillie]

17. Law & Order tops the list

followed by

The West Wing
ER
That 70s show
and re-runs of the Golden Girls

[UrbScotty]

18. Dr. Phil, funny shows, and some game shows.

Dr. Phil
Hollywood Squares
Family Feud
The Priced is Right
Saturday Night Live (reruns on Comedy Central)
Crossing Over with John Edward (Edward, not Edwards ;-))
Pyramid
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (hosted by Meredith Vieira from The View)
Whose Line Is It Anyway? (I know, Drew Carey, but hey.)
The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
The Late Show with David Letterman

Do I need a life or what?

[LynneSin]

20. Sex and the City & Six Feet Under

I can't watch a TV show with commericials. These are some of the best shows on TV today, but I'm sad that this is the last year for SATC. I hope Carrie ends up with Big, they really are soulmates!

[liberalpress]

38. Hate commercials?

Get a Tivo or replay. Changed my life.

[WCGreen]

21. I'm a forty five year old married man.

We enjoy watching

24
The Shield
Monk
Dead Zone
Gilmore Girls
CSI
Gone with out a Trace
The Justice League
XMen Evolution
(I have a cool wife)
Nova, it it's good
Ken Burns, if it's good
Frontline, if it's good
Westwing
Law and Order
and the best for last
the Daily show

I watch for recipies on the Food Network
I watch movies
She watches HGTV

Not many sitcoms because they are so predictable.....

I am an accountant so I leave on CNBC all day in the other room so I can get up and take a gnader at how the Bush nightmare is playing out.....

[Lydia Leftcoast]

22. On various channels:

PBS: Nova, Frontline, P.O.V., Wide Angle (excellent program on foreign affairs--the Al Jazeera doc was the first of the new season), Mystery, sometimes the American Experience, travel shows such as Rick Steves' Europe or Globe Trekker

HBO: The Sopranos, Oz, Six Feet Under

Turner Classic Movies, if there's something I want to see

Ditto the Sundance channel and whoever else is showing good movies

The mysteries on BBC America, but I can't stand either Changing Rooms or So Graham Norton, which they seem to run incessantly

The History Channel International, a digital station that goes far beyond the "Hitler Channel" orientation of the other History Channel.

The Daily Show

The Simpsons and King of the Hill

Sometimes Law and Order, but that's really the only network show that I even think of watching. I haven't liked a sitcom since, oh, the early years of Murphy Brown.

I am completely indifferent to all cooking, gardening, and redecorating shows, even though I have no objection to any of these activities and actually enjoy cooking.

[leftist_rebel1569]

23. Adult Swim and THAT'S IT!

Nothing else!

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is my favorite show on TV

[bif]

24. No TV shows at all.

Just an occasional movie rental.

[Bossy Monkey]

25. Every friggin' documentary on the air

[RandomKoolzip]

27. Mystery Science Theatre 3000 is the only reason I have a TV.

I watch the old reruns on tape when I need a good laugh. Otherwise, I watch no TV at all.

[CBHagman]

28. In no particular order...

Turner Classic Movies. I especially love their theme programming, such as their recent Bollywood festival and the series of pre-code Hollywood films.

"Now" with Bill Moyers

"As Time Goes By" (on PBS)

"EastEnders" (on PBS)

"Mystery!"

"Masterpiece Theater"

C-SPAN, depending on who's on.

Classic Arts Showcase

Lots of international programming on MHZ

And when they're not in reruns, I watch "Friends," "West Wing," and "Everybody Loves Raymond."

[MountainLaurel]

29. I have no cable

But of the stations I do get, I watch:

That 70s Show
CSI
Secrets of the Dead
Gilmore Girls
The Simpsons
The Guardian

I also have this fascination with America's Funniest Home Videos.

[election_2004]

30. "Guilty Pleasure" shows

I hate to admit this, but I also watch The View and The Anna Nicole Show. It's like a bad addiction.

[Darth_Ole]

31. I watch

The West Wing, Malcolm in the Middle, The Daily Show, ESPN, the news, and M*A*S*H.

[kmla]

32. Very little network TV

Except for CSI. Love that show.

Alot of HGTV.

The Learning Channel.

Discovery.

Discovery Home and Leisure.

Some IFC. (Independent Film Channel).

Cartoon Network and Boomerang. (They show old cartoons like Popeye, and the Wacky Races)

[Ramsey]

33. This will be a short list

The West Wing
Now with Bill Moyers
Buffy the Vampire Slayer

[ZenLefty]

34. My list:

[ZenLefty]

35. My list during hockey season:

Hockey.

[tico]

39. I watch "Gilmore Girls" too

I don't know why I do. Maybe because I find Lauren Graham so attractive. Other shows I watch religiously:

Seventh Heaven
Jerry Springer
Cheaters

Otherwise, I don't watch a lot of TV.

[election_2004]

40. Question for fans of Gilmore Girls....

Did any of you catch Barbara Boxer's appearance on the show last fall?

[Chicklet]

48. Yep

When she had to endure Full Metal Paris.

[Darranar]

41. NONE!

I rarely turn on my TV-and I'm proud of it!

[scucci]

42. Don't really watch TV much

We don't have cable TV so I end up watching PBS when the TV's on. I really like Mystery which is shown on Sunday night here. Yes, I'm a dork. I have seen the Jamie Kennedy show and thought it was pretty funny. I mainly try to stay away from the big networks. My blood pressure goes to high when I view such inanity.
Everyone has their own tastes though.

[Rhiannon12866]

44. I love ``Mystery!'' as well

but I do watch a few shows on the commercial networks. I consider the writing on ``Frasier'' and ``Everybody Loves Raymond'' to be first-rate.:-)

[scucci]

46. I forgot about Raymond

I do watch that show sometimes too. The wife, Debra I think, is hilarious. The whole cast plays against each other perfectly. Very funny.

[Rhiannon12866]

47. My personal favorite is his mother

I think Doris Roberts is a national treasure!:D

[goobergunch]

49. My two must sees are Six Feet Under and the Daily Show.

A great site for recaps, recommended by Sarah Vowell:

http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/
