Reply With QuoteHaven't owned a tv (and therefore no dvd player) for 10 years or more. If I were the kind of person who could watch 1 or 2 shows a week, that'd be fine. But if it's there I watch all kinds of stupid crap! Same w/ ice cream - if it's in the house, I eat it all day. When I need a little down time, I read or visit my animals. No TV is how I have a writing career, work a day job, create a homestead, ride my bike and work out. If they made a dvd player that wasn't also a tv, we'd get that and treat ourselves to some movie watching (our iMac is too old to help us out with that one.)

Oops, I forgot House -- love that show! It conflicts with my ABC Monday night shows now (a pox on Fox for moving it to Mondays), so I plan to watch the episodes online. I also love Project Runway, but it seems to alternate with Top Chef, so at least I don't have both of them to watch now.

Nothing I just can't live without...
ER when I remember.
When the hubby turns it on-House, Deadliest Catch, Mythbusters, How It's Made, Adult Swim.
I used to watch Rally Car races with him too, but they haven't been showing those. Also Iron Chef, but I don't like Iron Chef America. We do turn on the news in the morning to catch the weather and headlines.
TDF, of course, and any other races available, though they are few and far between these days. Also Westminster.I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.

Since 9/11 I've watched the news, usually CNN, religiously in the morning when I get up. Other than that I don't turn on the TV. My SO likes watching TV, so we'll watch Top Chef, The Biggest Loser, and football together. Otherwise I'll just read or do something else when it's on.

Boston Legal, and whatever Netflix movie we have at the moment. That's pretty much it.

I've never much cared for TV. It makes me twitchy and I have to leave. I'd really be happiest without a TV in the house.
That being said, I watch my Broncos, or did before the weekend job. (Sound off, radio on, preferably.)Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.

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

+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

Thank you for all the good suggestions. a bunch of my favs just ended so i'll take these into consideration. I'm definitely going to check out Lost and Army Wives because i've heard really good things about both of them.

NCIS--I'm totally head over heels for Mark Harmon's character...but then I even liked him when he was Ted Bundy.
Survivor.
True crime shows.
