Other channels offer other options which you are at liberty to add to the list.

Just indicate which (if any) program you plan to watch.

Sopranos. Series Finale.

But the Braves game on ESPN before and after, even though I hate the ESPN announcers.

Yo! That’s why there’s MUTE!

Nothing caught my eye - I guess I’ll be reading tonight!

I keep trying, but that white guy’s inanely hyper-correct pronunciations of every Latino’s name bleeds right through the closed captions.

“Coming up to bat now,
Rah-fie-yel Foor-caul.”

Yes, I know he’s not a Brave anymore, but that’s the one that has actually made me decide to turn the thing off and find out later how the game ended.

Sopranos :frowning:

Brave’s game. I’m with you KneadtoKnow Skip Caray and Pete van Wieren would be much better to watch, but you gotta take what you got.

I’ll be reading until The Sopranos starts. Then I’ll be quietly sobbing, over there in the corner.

At least I hope so. :smiley:

Pay-per-view?

Sopranos. It’s the first episode that I’m going to watch at the proper starting time. I’m too afraid of running across spoilers.

The only things we watch live (well, close to live - we start them 15 minutes late so we can fast forward through commercials) are Battlestar Galactica and Lost. Everything else is DVRed and watched when we feel like it. So we’re weeks, sometimes months, behind on most shows. So Neilsen doesn’t give a crap about viewers like us, 'cause we don’t watch ads. (Although I read something interesting the other day about ads in fast forward actually leaving a larger subconscious impression than ads at natural speed - sort of a blipvert kind of effect. Sprite was tapping into that with their Sublymonal schtick a while back.)

I think tonight I’m going to lobby for Hex, from a week or two ago (from like three years ago on British tv, I think.) But I might get overruled with yet another *Smallville *or *Supernatural *- we’re pretty far behind on those. If I was forced at gunpoint to chose a show in the OP, it’d be Mystery!.

  1. Fox – Family Guy

Never got into Sopranos.

NBA Finals.

But, note my location :slight_smile: (and halfway through I left the TV and went to the radio)

I started out with baseball, then switched to either Antiques Roadshow on PBS or Young Frankenstein on AMC.

Tony Awards, baby. Love 'em. Some amazing performances and a nice, warm, inside-NY vibe.
