I don’t watch much network television. If I watch TV, it’s mostly on cable. I find it more interesting, not as much a waste of time.

I like a lot of what’s on The History Channel, The Discovery channels (I have super duper extended cable), CourtTV, HGTV and just discovered IFC and The Sundance channel, but I don’t watch enough to kind what shows to follow.

I’m always looking for something interesting to watch. Any recommendations?

Some of the shows I watch or watched on a regular basis -

On BBC America:  
**Kumars at No. 42**

Discovery:  
**American Chopper**  
**Mythbusters**

A&E:  
**City Confidential**  
and the old standby **Biography**

Cartoon Network:  
**Aqua Teen Hunger Force**  
**Robot Chicken**  
**Justice League**

G4 TechTV:  
**Xplay**  
**Icons**

The Food Network:  
\*\*Iron Chef  
\*\ ***Good Eats**

Is Dead Like Me still on? If so, watch it.

Nope. That got cancelled and replaced by Fat Actress with Kirstie Alley (Allie?). Too bad. It was a darned good show.
