4. Almost all the TV I watch is on DVD
We're working our way through Buffy Season 4 right now. Angel Season 1 and BSG Season 4.0 are on deck.

The only broadcast show I watch with anything approaching regularity is Jeopardy

7. Same here. No commercials = awesome.
Edited on Wed Feb-04-09 05:46 PM by Initech
I recently bought the complete series set for The Wire and I'm working my way through season 1 right now. Fucking awesome show.

I also just finished season 2 of Dexter - quite possibly one of the most brilliant seasons of any TV show ever written.

Although I hear good things about it.

60. I think you'll love Angel.
I just watched the first 3.5 seasons of that while I was stuck in the States. There are bits of it that are incredibly stupid (of course, in that it's Joss Whedon) but in general it's a great show.

6. Regularly? None.
The ones I download whenever I remember 'em:
Heroes
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

The ones I'll watch if they're on TV when I'm around
... pretty much what's on your list, except I've never seen Burn Notice, In Plain Sight or Big Bang, and I'm so far out of the loop with Lost that I'm not even gonna try to get into it.

8. The main one is "The Office." And then I watch "30 Rock" after that.
I also try to catch Stewart/Colbert, if I can stay awake.

15. Do you mind my asking what the appeal of Jon & Kate Plus 8 is?
My 13-year-old daughter likes to watch it and I have a hard time keeping myself from marveling out loud over how insipid it seems to me. I find them less interesting than the average family with one or two kids in my neighborhood. They never seem to discuss a single thought deeper than what their children eat for lunch.

32. Either you love it or hate it
I think Kate is so funny, although she pisses me off at times. She has OCD and it's funny to watch someone like that with 8 little ones. I think her husband is a saint.
I also love watching the little ones, they're cute. It makes me remember when mine were that age.

40. She has an OCD diagnosis? Does she ever talk about it? Or about getting treated for it?
That would be more interesting to me, to get into the deep idiosyncracies of the family.

It's just not my cup of tea.

44. No, She never comes out and says it...
she's just like "you know how I am"... She is a complete neat freak, even to how the kids are dressed; you would think that with all those kids she would be more relaxed (I only have 2 and if my kids get ice cream on their cloths, I just wipe it and move on, whereas she will freak). Very anal. I'm thinking she is OCD. There is a point that I wonder if she is wrecking the kids in someway by being like this.

48. Now that you mention it, I think even the once or twice I've watched the show
I've noticed her overreacting to dumb things like that. Another reason to wonder at the morals of TV executives and would-be stars.

19. "The Young and the Restless"
is really the only show I watch regularly.

I work second shift with rotating days off so I don't watch a lot of shows.

But I am home, I try and watch all of the CSIs:, Cold Case, Without a Trace, Criminal Minds, that's really about it.

I do watch a lot of HGTV, Food Network, Discovery, Animal Planet, sports and news.

Sober House, and WWE Raw...and thats about it.

The wife likes to watch a lot of the train wreck reality shows aka Rock of Love Bus, For the Love of Money, I love New York etc...so I usually see those as well...bleh, but she puts up with my smallville, so I deal with her reality train wrecks....:D

I like House, but I like getting them on dvd so I ignore them during their initial run...and I truly do suck, at remembering when shows come on

33. TV shows
What a great question,because I love to watch television!

I was really into a show called Swingtown,but it got canceled recently,after only one season.

Some reality shows are not bad either,The Hills,The City,
and a Double Shot at Love are guilty pleasures.

Also,I love me some Nancy Grace,and The Young and the Restless.

So many more,too many to list really.

Edit:Late at night if nothing is on,I do occasionally put on the
Family channel,and watch Hannah Montanna!

That's a lot of TV.

36. You're right, it looks a lot worse when you list them all
clearly I have to cut back on some of them (although with a DVR you cut out commericals, so 1 hour shows are under 45 minutes and half hour shows are about 20).

50. Used to watch "Boston Legal" regularly, but
it's gone. So, nothing. If Eureka is on sci-fi, I make a point to catch it. And usually I try to catch Top Chef or Project Runway when they're on.

Daily Show, Colbert Report, Letterman if I feel like it / remember.

But I don't really have favorite shows. Am thinking of dumping cable. Programming wasteland out there.

I skipped last season of DH 'cause I was starting to burn out on it, but this season is really good so far.

Ugly Betty better improve or I will stop watching it. I am really hating on her family right now.

TV is mainly a waste of time. We don't even have an actual set. We DL the shows we watch so we don't have to sit through commercials.
