I'm very bad...
Mythbusters, CSI, Moonlight, This Old House, NCIS.....
But I have NEVER watched Survivor. Seeing the first few minutes on the first show, and all the commercials have turned me off.
Next week I get to do the Nielson ratingsI just LOVE the thought of tweeking the statistics! I don't watch most of the popular shows!

There are other shows that I enjoy but 30 Rock and Project Runway are about the only shows that I "can't miss."
I put myself on a TV diet this past winter and limited myself to PBS, news and weather. If there was nothing in those departments on, then I had to turn the tv off and read. I liked it, but now that I'm riding full speed ahead again, I basically fall asleep after reading only a few pages so I'm back to mindlessly watching tv.Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

Only the "big brain" stuff for me.
30 Rock
My Name is Earl
Lost
Weeds
The L Word
Although sometimes I have to engage my brain to understand Lost. I hate that.
And -- drum roll -- my favorite, the WNBA starts May 17.

In the past two months, I've had my TV on once, and I saw an episode of Dexter. I haven't turned it on since. I don't miss it.

Can't miss American Idol, House, Jon Stewart.
Can't live without Tivo. I thought I'd hate it, but I love it. No more mindless watching, since I can record the stuff I want to see.

I got to do the Nielson's once. That was fun. Days of not even turning the TV on...

+1,000 for Lost! I also just recently became obsessed with The Wire and have been making good time in getting up to date with the DVDs. I must admit I have a soft spot for Top Chef as well, don't throw things
