This is mine, everynight at 11pm before going to bed at midnight I sit back and watch either the Simpsons on Fox or Futurama on Adult Swim, after that I watch Family Guy and on some nights Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
For sure though I make sure I watch the Simpsons and Family Guy on most weeknights while reclining in a chair and channel surfing during commercials.

Well it used to be E4 every Monday at 9pm for Smallville and 9pm every Tuesday for Angel on Sky.
Smallville ended last Monday, and Angel ended tonight, forever ☹
We now have **The Best of Angel** every Tuesday at 9 starting from next week, so I supose its not all bad.

Have I Got News For You, whenever it is on. Likewise anything by Chris Morris (if only he would make more). Other than that, and specific one-offs, it’s either drivel or rolling news.

My mother and I watch the rerun of the previous night’s _Daily Show_ every night at 7:00, then call each other on the phone (well, I mean, one of us calls the other) and discuss the news Jon Stewart has just skewered.

When I get home from work (at 11pm) I will usually turn on UKG2 and watch either Have I Got News For You or They Think It’s All Over. But lately they’ve all been ones I’ve seen already in the past few weeks.

Hmmm. Not sure if this is a ritual as such.
I tape all the shows that I like. Saturday morning I lay like a slug on the couch and watch. I fast-forward through the ones that are boring me.

I do the same thing, except I stay up later to watch Sealab 2021 and The Brak Show.
Also, I watch King of the Hill at 7:00. Usually while playing video games at the same time.

Usually by the time I get home, there’s nothing on but infomercials, so I usually pop in whatever TV show on DVD I’m watching at the moment.

**Gr8kat** and I watch repeats of \*Buffy the Vampire Slayer \* every day at 1:00 and 2:00 on FX and I try my best to catch _Joan of Arcadia_ every Friday night or have \*\*vivalostwages \*\* send it to me on VHS along with recordings of _Enterprise_.
Other than those three shows, I watch very little TV.
