To watch or not to watch

[salsabike]

I often forget to watch the stuff I like, so can't say "can't miss". But the best stuff I've seen for years---Saving Grace and The Closer. When I remember to watch them--they are just fabulous stuff.

You're all so good -- I am really bad about TV (DH says I'm an addict). I do computer stuff during commercials, like now, but right now I am watching:

Sunday - Desperate Housewives, Brothers & Sisters
Monday - Dancing with the Stars, The Bachelor (I know, I know....)
Tuesday - Idol, Hell's Kitchen
Wednesday - Idol, Top Chef
Thursday - Survivor, Grey's Anatomy (on right now!), Lost

I watch a few other things off and on on cable, HGTV, etc, but those are my "must-see TV" shows that are airing right now.

I go through phases with watching television. Sometimes there are too many shows on that I love to catch them all and other times I feel like there is absolutely nothing on! Right now, I'm totally into TV and my DVR is pretty much full. What shows can you guys just NOT MISS?

I used to wacth ER without fail but I haven't seen it in 3 years and haven't watch any TV for months. Our main TV died a few months ago and we haven't even talked about replacing it. We have one in our room that we watch movies on once a month, that's it. I never thought I could live without TV but once I got out of it, I am AM happy that I don't watch it anymore. Gives me more time to be online. LOL...

My DVR is set for:

Survivor - (+1 for James)
Hell's Kitchen/Kitchen Nightmares
Deadliest Catch
House

Then during the week when I'm on the computer I'll run full episodes of The Office and 30 Rock on nbc.com in the background.

I would probably watch more but gf and I do not have the same tastes at all - her stuff is scary drama and I am light or documentary.

[bmccasland]

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 ratings I just LOVE the thought of tweeking the statistics! I don't watch most of the popular shows!

Jon and Kate Plus 8
Little people big world
Top Chief.
Thank goodness for Tivo tho because thats the only way i get to see anything.

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.

Dancing with the Stars until its over.

May 12, American Gladiators starts.

[dachshund]

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.

[divingbiker]

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.

What shows can you guys just NOT MISS?

I'd prefer not to watch any of it. Maybe an occasional movie from Blockbuster dot com (they make a mint off me! ).
But, for the past three years, I've gotten sucked into the American Idol vortex. And I do like Bones and House. I can pass pretty much on the rest of it.
Oh...and the Superbowl, so I can bang my head against the wall for a day....like I don't do that routinely anyway!

Project Runway
Deadliest Catch

I only watch the Daily Show and Colbert Report religiously. I watch zero network television. I watch classic movies on TCM and nature, history, and science documentaries on Discovery, History, TLC, Science Channel, etc. I probably average two hours of TV a day. That does not count DVD's. My TV is used much more for watching DVD's than watching shows.
