Should I Even Watch TV Anymore?

[GrinderMac]

I had forgot about Entourage and Rescue Me, both great shows, worth the watch.

Entourage is awesome.. I dont get HBO though so I have to either download it or wait for the DVD's to come out
The Wire is an amazing show too that i don't think has been mentioned here yet.. anybody that watch this show know when season 3 comes out on dvd?

Yeah, I never really gave it a chance when it first started but I've watched about the last four episodes and it's not that bad.

So it's pretty much like every other show on tv then? Apparently Jennifer Lopez produces it or something, so I took that as a sign that it would be bad.

A show that I like that may have been cancelled is on City called Wanted. Kinda like a scripted Dog the Bounty Hunter. I've seen a couple episodes and enjoyed it, but it hasn't been on again lately.

I'm a fan of old movies, and my viewing habits have been completely changed ever since Shaw brought out Turner Classic Movies. Since it's almost commercial free (all movies are shown beginning to end with no commercials), I assumed they were just going to have it on the package for a month and then move it to a higher tier once people got hooked. So I'm suprised that it's still on. For the month of January, they've got Miyazaki movies (of Spirited Away fame) every thursday night. Just a fantastic network.

don't know if anyone else has watched it but there is a 6 part series on OLN detailing a "round the world" motorcycle trip done by Ewan Mcgregor and his best friend. Both are bike enthusiasts. The first two have been on already...I think the second episode will be repeated sometime this week again. It's called "Long Way round" i believe. It's been on Bravo in the states i believe and has been released on DVD already. Still pretty interesting IMO.

I tried watching an episode or two. The fake laughtrack ruins it for me, and then I start picking the rest of the show apart.

On Sundays (other than football) I usually like Cold Case. I love the way they use music in their flashbacks. I don't make a point of watching it, but usually I catch it.

There are a number of shows I will enjoy if they are on when I'm watching, just very few shows anymore that I look forward to and make a point of watching.

Pretty funny that these guys travel 20,000+ miles on motorcycles and their only accidents come when they get to Alberta. LOL!

Even though i pay for full cable i end up downloading the shows that I watch from week to week. Lost, 24 and the Amazing race.
All in HD quality and no commercials!

I seriously do not watch any Network TV, no sitcoms, no reality shows, no dramas, none of that crap. Complete and utter garbage in my opinion.

I switch between the Center Ice channels when I'm home, play NHL 06 on the XBOX or rent movies.

I don't quite follow. You'll have to clarify the point you're trying to get across.

My borther, Dan...come on. My brother is a hack. I mean, he's bald. My hair is lush and full.

You know there used to be a cool asian usher in 313 before you came along. Whatever happened to that guy?

There's a real man. I can't stand all that American Idol/Two and a Half Men/Friends BS. The only good sitcom was Seinfeld.

[I-Hate-Hulse]

I'm watching a show right now called "Dirty Jobs" on Discovery. So far the host has worked in:

- San Fran inspecting sewers, surrounded by rats, roaches and, feces.
- Worked on a clean up crew specalizing in sewer back up. Use your imagination as to what he saw.
- Interior office demolitons.

Great show - the host is funny and it's one of those thing where you go "hey...my job's not that bad afterall..."

I didn't realize how much TV I watch until I made this list. But I work in Television so I just pretend I'm doing research . Other than sports I watch:

-Arrested Development
-The Shield (only through season 3 so far)
-24 (looking forward to sunday)
-Deadwood
-Prison Break
-Family Guy
-Simpsons
-King of the hill
-Lost
-Corner Gas
-My Name is Earl
-The Office
-The Apprentice (losing interest in this one)
-Gilmore Girls with my wife (see what happens when you get married)

I really can't stand the traditional sitcom. Seinfeld was the last one I watched. I saw the first episode of War at Home, (you know, the hilarious one where the Dad unknowingly tells his daughter's boyfriend to give her oral) and I was sure it would be cancelled within three weeks. I thought it was garbage. But obviously not everyone shares my opinion, as it seems to be doing well.

if you like Cold Case most likely you will really like "Waking the Dead" on BBC Canada. I think it just finished all the epsiodes (5 or 6 seasons of 6 or 7 2-hour shows). They should be repeating again fairly soon.

In fact much of my TV watching is from BBC Canada.
