Saturday: _Battlestar Galactica_. Not enjoying it all that much, but still watching. Sunday: _Scrapheap Challenge_. Would strongly consider skipping a family get-together to see this. Beyond that, I don’t watch a lot of TV at all. ---

Now I think I’ve forgotten a bunch after reading everyone’s answers. I’ll just add this list of shows that if I remember they’re on and if I’m around I’ll watch them: Nip/Tuck, Ebert and Roeper, Beat the Schwab, Arrested Development, Futurama, TNG reruns, Airline, Bay Area Backroads ---

Fox’s Sunday Night line-up when not pre-empted (Malcolm in the Middle, Arrested Development, Simpsons (maybe) and King of the Hill (maybe). Mon., Tue., Wed. Thur: Daily Show Currently I watch _Survivor_ but I don’t usually. Otherwise my TV watching is channel surfing. I pay for extended cable solely for Jon Stewart; I wish he’d move to network so I could cancel, but if he did they’d probably ruin the show. ---

Wednesdays are great.

Sunday Nothing regularly, _60 minutes_ a lot. Monday _Still Standing, 24_ Tuesday _NCIS, Deadliest Catch_ which is just the best show on TV right now! Wednesday _Lost_ (unfortunately), _King of Queens_ Thursday _Survivor_ Friday _Monster House, Joan of Arcadia, Numb3rs, Stargate SG-1_ Saturday Total wasteland. Almost every night: _Whose Line is it Anyway?_ reruns on the Family channel. Hey, it makes me laugh, ok? ---

I watch Law & Order, all of them. Criminal Intent and SVU are my favorites. I’ll catch CSI once in a while (original only). I watch Adult Swim Mon-Wed, and sometimes I’ll try to catch Robot Chicken but I usually forget. Good Eats is great, and X-Files reruns in the middle of the night are always good. ---

The only programmes I religously watch are Smallville & The OC\*. I think I need to grow up. I also watch Buffy, Angel, Family Guy, Simpsons, CSI, CSI Miami, Law and Order, Scrubs, Cold Case and Without a Trace if I find them while flicking through the stations. \*I love that show… Ie arranged my study around it so I have lucnh everyday at 2 so I can go home and catch series 1 in reruns. Pathetic. ---

What I will go out of my way to watch: Monday: 24 (started watching it on DVD) Tuesday: Amazing Race Wedneday: Lost I’ll watch Survivor if I’m home, but I’m meh-ish on it. Beyond that, any broadcast t.v. I watch is by chance, and is usually HGTV. I’ve become a big fan of DVDs and prefer to watch them, including TV series on DVD. ---

Wow, I knew that I’d stopped watching so much TV, but I hadn’t realized how much. There’s hardly anything that I make a point to watch anymore, and even when I do, I catch it on the TiVo, if and when I get around to it. The ones I make a point to watch, when they’re new: Venture Brothers The Daily Show Justice League Unlimited I would watch if I hadn’t gotten so behind, so now I’m avoiding and just waiting for the DVDs: Lost I record, and will watch if **Miller** ’s not around, because he won’t let me otherwise: Saturday Night Live Best Week Ever ---

Sunday: Enterprise, Family Guy, maybe American Dad(depends a lot on if I decide it’s worth it in the next 2 weeks). Wensday: South Park(if it’s a new one, 50/50 if it’s an rerun). Thursday: Monty Python. Used to watch Trailor Park Boys, Black Books and Blackadder before BBC America decided to be stupid and take them off. Friday: Battlestar Galactica, Stargate Atlantis. Any day of the week: Daily Show (if it’s new). Movies of oppurtunity. ---

I watch the Fox Sunday night lineup (KotH, MitM, Simpsons, AD, and now Family Guy and the other AD but I probably won’t watch that for long), House, Conan O’Brien (when I can stay up… I have to get up at six for work so that doesn’t always happen), and repeats of the Outer Limits (new series) that play once a week on the NBC affiliate at 12:30 AM. That’s it. Occasionally I will watch Simpsons repeats in the evening but only if I remember and I usually don’t. Before I moved to a house without cable I also watched Cartoon Network Sunday nights, South Park, the Daily Show, and Monk. Out of those, I miss the Daily Show the most. I also used to watch SNL weekly but it got so bad that I just quit watching it. Thanks to the awesome library system here, I’ve been getting into a lot of series I never got to watch before, since they were on Showtime or HBO and I could never afford those channels. My new favorite show has to be Six Feet Under. But then, I don’t watch that at a certain time. ---

> [@continuity eror](#): > > My new favorite show has to be Six Feet Under. But then, I don’t watch that at a certain time. That’s my favourite show as well. Final season starts June 6th. **Monday** : Until now, nothing was crucial. CSI: Miami doesn’t have compelling enough characters for me to care. SFU will be my Monday night thing shortly. **Tuesday** : Amazing Race; Law & Order SVU; Scrubs; The Office **Wednesday** : Law & Order; CSI: NY; That 70s Show **Thursday** : CSI; Joey; ER; The Apprentice **Friday** : Third Watch; Law & Order Trial By Jury **Saturday** : Nothing consistently. Cable stuff: Discovery channel, TLC, HGTV, Disc. Health. **Sunday** : Desperate Housewives; Grey’s Anatomy; King of the Hill; Malcolm in the Middle; Simpsons; AD; Family Guy; Law & Order Criminal Intent **Weekdays** : Daily Show I watch more television than anyone I know. I record almost everything so hubby can watch when he’s done work (and there’s nothing on). Also, it’s nice to watch shows when it’s convenient for me and I can fast forward through the commercials. ---

\*\*Sunday: \*\* Simpsons, King of the Hill, occasionally catch Grey’s Anatomy purely for the hotness of Katherine Heigl. The Sopranos when it’s on. Football when in season. Enterprise re-run at 10. **Monday:** Stargate SG-1 reruns on Sci-Fi channel **Tuesday:** Scrubs, House, M.D. \*\*Wednesday: \*\* South Park **Thursday:** Nothing I can remember **Friday:** Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica **Saturday:** Nothing, except football in season. All of the above are prefaced by the note that I watch if I remember, and if I’m not doing stuff with my girlfriend. The shows I tape to make sure I see are: SG-1, Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica and House. ---

> [@Roadfood](#): > > _Deadliest Catch_ which is just the best show on TV right now! I could not agree with you more. It’s just about the most compelling television I’ve ever seen. Before I saw it I didn’t expect to find a dramaticized quasi-documentary about crab fishing off Alaska interesting, but by halfway through the first episode I was completely hooked. The best part for me is that kid Brandon. 19 years old, never fished for anything before in his life, and just running on a great attitude and a lot of guts. He had to deal with good natured newbie hazing (“New guy has to bite the head off a herring for good luck.”) on top of the sleep deprivation and hard physical labor, and he always tackled everything with enthusiasm and toughness with a smile on his face. I found myself rooting hard for the kid, hoping that he’d have a good season and not get hurt. It was especially gratifying watching last night’s episode and finding that the crew of the _Northwestern_ apparently thought as highly of him as I did.
