How many TV shows do you watch regularly?

[redqueen]

Poll question: How many TV shows do you watch regularly?

I watch 4 regularly, including Jon Stewart. I also sometimes watch Mike & Mike in the morning and Keith Olbermann but I'm not counting those since I only see it for maybe 30 minutes twice a week.

Just trying to gauge how much TV we watch...


editing to list my other regularly watched shows: Scrubs, Lost and Joan of Arcadia


editing again - I forgot football! I watch MNF and at least three games on the weekends. That's a lotta TV.

[tx_dem41]

1. The Amazing Race and West Wing

[InvisibleTouch]

2. I will confess to watching....

..."The Apprentice" semi-regularly. Yeah, you can throw tomatoes at me now.... ;) Other than that, I get my news and entertainment on the net....

[tx_dem41]

3. Invisible Touch...

you're fired!

;)

[InvisibleTouch]

19. That's okay...

I prefer to work for myself anyway. :)

[justinsb]

4. Lost, West Wing and the Daily Show

That's about it really, I frequently consider hollowing the thing out and using it as an Aquarium.

[redqueen]

10. Why can't they integrate the PC and the boobtube?

[justinsb]

13. Well, they have (WebTV) but

my fear is that it's contageous and there soon wouldn't be anything online but infomercials.

[Not_Giving_Up]

5. I'm a Law and Order fanatic (I can admit it)

I watch the original, CI, and SVU

Gotta have my West Wing - Let Bartlett be Bartlett!

[motely36]

6. Amazing Race, Survivor, Desperate Housewives,

and Joan of Arcadia.

[skygazer]

7. I don't watch anything regularly

I like to watch the Simpsons and I enjoy Will and Grace but there's nothing on television that it will bother me to miss.

[mdhunter]

8. TDS and Scrubs. Combined, they are the best writing on TV.

[mac56]

9. There are four I go out of my way to see.

"The Daily Show", "Late Night with Conan O'Brien", "Scrubs", and "Less Than Perfect".

"Monk" used to be on that list, until I heard they were dumping Bitty Schramm.

[redqueen]

11. Oh yes, Monk would be on mine as well, but it's not on now.

And when American Idol comes back in January, I'll watch that.

I'll still watch Monk, too. Bitty Schram was great but I heart Tony Shalhoub.

[Mojambo]

36. RE: Schramm

They did not dump her. She wanted out.

[tridim]

12. If Hockey wasn't on strike, I'd be watching that regularly

Other than that, I watch TDS, The Simpsons, Arrested Development and Futurama and Family Guy reruns.

[eek]

14. Daily Show and whichever series is on HBO

We watch whatever the HBO series is running at the time:
Sopranos, The Wire, Oz, SatC, Deadwood, Curb Your Enthusiasm.

And Bill Maher when he's on.

[redqueen]

If I had HBO I'm sure I'd be hooked on CYE

[SCDem]

15. 60 Minutes and Lost

I used to watch TDS but I've recently moved and downgraded cable.... no more comedy channel.... maybe some can record them for me!!

[crispini]

16. I will NOT miss Olbermann.

I watch the Daily Show sometimes... but, for me, the problem is that once I get hooked on a series-type show -- and it has to be a pretty good show for me to get hooked on it, viz: Buffy -- I will OBSESS. I will work my schedule around it. I will go discuss it on TWoP. I will record the shows and rewatch it. I will be completely insane about watching it Exactly. When. It. Goes. On.

Therefore, I try not to get hooked on stuff. I'm kind of addictive that way.

Edited to add: Jeez! I can't have a post of mine mention KO :loveya: and not have floaty hearts in it! Omission remedied. :evilgrin:

[redqueen]

20. Are those floaty hearts because you love the show?

Or because you think Keith's hot?


I hardly EVER get to see my shows when they're on. Sometimes I end up with a week's worth of TDS to catch up on.

[crispini]

23. Both, of course. :D

I do like the news style on "Countdown" -- somehow they manage to be slick and entertaining and also give us substance.

But, you know, KO -- sigh -- a man of brains, integrity, AND looks. Certainly wouldn't kick *him* outta bed for eating crackers. :loveya:

[redqueen]

27. Agreed!

I used to think his eyebrows were too funny but I think his work on the voting stuff has converted me to thinking the man is HOT.

[Skarbrowe]

17. OK, you asked. Here's my line-up.

I still catch a little Tweety every now and then and Countdown for my only news source other than the internet. edited to add The Daily Show. Don't know how I forgot about that one.

Monday Waking the Dead on BBC.

Tuesday Judging Amy (hey I like it!) and L&O SVU

Wednesday LOST(my fave at the moment) West Wing and sometimes L&O

Thursday CSI Without a Trace and ER (still, although it's tanking)

Friday I try to watch Enterprise ( old habits die hard ) THIRD WATCH (love it)

Saturday Zilch ( hmmm, good name for a show )

Sunday sometimes 60 Minutes Cold Case

Cable and Premium shows when they are airing

Dead Zone (love it!)
Nip/Tuck
Carnivale
Sopranos
Queer as Folk
The L Word
Dead Like Me
Stargate 1
Stargate Atlantis (though it sucks)
Battlestar Galactica is coming up soon

Ok, that's a rough idea. Now I can vote a number.

And yes, I don't have a life.

[crispini]

18. Oh, HOW can you watch Nip/Tuck?!

I can't even *think* about the basic concept of that show without getting grossed out.

Of course, I once watched a real facelift on "The Operation" and I think that has scarred me for life.

[Skarbrowe]

29. I look away on the fake surgery scenes.

I didn't watch the show when it first came on for the very reason that you state. I have no interest at all in plastic surgery. It's the rare show that I watch for the complex relationship and chemistry between the two male leads. It also has some great music. Uh, Famke Jennsen might have a little to do with it. Just a little.

[dethl]

21. Does my downloading of current Japanese anime shows count?

Lets see, then I watch 6 shows. If only on TV, then its 2.

I love my anime :)

[redqueen]

28. YES

of course it counts, silly!

[Tweed]

22. Daily Show

that's it, that's all

[Rambis]

24. Monday nights BBC America

Rebus
McCallum
Waking the Dead
Murder in Mind
Morse

[212demop]

25. 6 Feet Under, Sopranos, 24, Lost, Jon Stewart, 60 Mins, the O.C.

Carnivale and the 4400 if it comes back!

Oh, and American Dreams is sweet.

[peekaloo]

26. Boston Legal and Scrubs.

[dazeconf]

30. I have trouble with shows that require regular watching

That's why I like shows like seinfeld,the simpsons, and law and order so much... it doesn't make a difference if you miss a week.

[proudbluestater]

31. My three are...

Democracy Now! Daily Show and Curb Your Enthusiasm. I have pretty much "gone off" commercial tv since the election. If I watch anything else, it's normally on HBO. Doing my part to starve the beast.

[flamingyouth]

Gilmore Girls, Joan of Arcadia and Desperate Housewives

[Fleurs du Mal]

32. Only good sci-fi when it comes to shows

And not even current shows at that: X-Files, Star Trek TOS/NG, Twilight Zone several times a week. I also watch several shows on the Science channel's Tuesday night space lineup.

Deceiving though since I watch a lot of movies.

[Kenneth ken]

33. none

I've had no tv for quite a few years.

[WCGreen]

34. Gillmore Girls

Is so snappy it reminds me of a Dorothy Parker theatre review....

NYPD

Law and Order, the original

Joan of Arcadia

[last_texas_dem]

35. None

But just 'cause there's none I set aside time in my schedule for doesn't mean I don't end up watching my fair share of TV. I can watch pretty much any show about music on VH1 or whatever Congressional proceedings are going on C-SPAN if I'm trying to find something to keep me from working on whatever I should be working on. For a while when my sleeping schedule was turned around pretty crazy it was getting pretty bad there... I was nightly enjoying a two-hour block of "Family Ties", "Cheers", "The Brady Bunch", and "Happy Days" from 2-4 AM on TV Land! But, alas, I have recovered!

[Nevernose]

37. Simpsons and King of the Hill

I watch a lot of movies, though, and 60 Minutes when I remember about it.

[Deja Q]

38. Blake's 7, Sapphire And Steel, Dr Who, Futurama, Babylon 5 are the staples

in my TV diet.

[laheina]

39. Maybe

if I'm bored I'll watch ESPN or CNN, but I can get all of that in the print media. :shrug:

[Zomby Woof]

40. Gilmore Girls and Smallville

The once-great Simpsons is a shell of its former self, and the West Wing jumped the BIG shark 2 seasons ago.

[enigmatic]

41. "Trailer Park Boys" and "Corner Gas"

And local news; I'm on a self-imposed US Media blackout..

[Swamp Rat]

42. None, but I do try to catch the Daily Show once and a while
