Monday; 24 (just started getting into this, time to rent some DVD’s of the past seasons Tuesday; nothing Wednesday; nothing Thursday; nothing Friday; Battlestar Galactica Saturday; nothing Sunday; The Simpsons and Family Guy nothing much appeals to me on TV anymore, the new [Foamy episode](http://www.illwillpress.com/channel.html)sums up my feelings on the current state of TV quite nicely… ---

With 3 DVRs, 4 VCRs and 5 Cable connections, I watch all prime time TV and most HBO and Showtime specials and series. Sound hard? Skipping all comercials helps a lot, SAT and SUN mornings get me thru a lot of tape and the rest I save for the Summers when I catch up on things like 24 but watching the whole season in one week. TV is my god. ---

Simpsons 7 days a week. My station plays reruns 3 times a day M-F. Once on Sat, and twice on Sun. I have also always liked forensic science shows, so I like to catch Dr.G Medical Examiner (only sometimes though, my squeamish second half can’t abide it), Forensic Files on CourTV, and whatever else strikes my fancy. Sometimes I can remember to watch The Daily Show. Conan when I’m up late enough to watch him (which is most of the time) and Star Trek and The Twilight Zone reruns on SciFi. Phew. Geeky enough for you? ---

Sunday: All the Fox shows, then Adult Swim Thursday: Three hours of _King of the Hill_ on FX! Nothing else, really, except for _The Sopranos_ when new seasons start. If _The Office_ comes back, I’ll make an effort to catch that. ---

Sunday (big night, lost of coordination needed) -King of the Hill, Malcolm in the Middle, Monk (I live in Canada), Jack and Bobby (no new Monk episodes so that network now plays this at Monk’s time), Desperate Housewives, Grey’s Anatomy, Boston Legal. If it’s at all possible, I’ll watch Simpsons, 2.5 Men, Everybody loves Raymond, and Law and Order Criminal Intent. Monday -24, Everwood Tuesday -Smallville, Scrubs, Amazing Race, Law and Order Special Victims Wednesday -Gilmore Girls, That 70’s Show Thursday -Joey, ER, The O.C. Friday -Joan of Arcadia, Numb3rs, Third Watch There’s really only three or four of these shows that I refuse to watch. It really isn’t as bad as it may seem, I promise. ---
