Tivo’d:
Arrested Development
Entourage
Weeds

, when it’s on

The rest of my viewing pleasure is taken up by endless episodes (on Tivo) of This Old House, Ask This Old House and The New Yankee Workshop. I’m a diy dweeb.

I forgot Sopranos. 8 or 9 more Episodes to go and starting soon. I need to get HBO back again.

I shouldn’t do these lists. It just shows we watch too much TV!

Friday:

Psych
Numbers
Also American Idol, though I’m not feeling the love this season.

I’ve bolded the ones I would miss if they were gone (and I figure Veronica’s run is about up).

Starting in April, everything takes a back seat to baseball. WOO!

Edited to add: Oh, and Studio 60 is probably doomed, too.

Daily Show
The Sopranos
Man vs. Wild
Mythbusters
All football, baseball and basketball championships

Ours goes:

Sunday: Dresden Files
Monday: Nothin’ except The Daily Show and reruns of South Park and Futurama if any good
Tuesday: NCIS, House, see Monday
Wednesday: Mythbusters, see Monday
Thursday: see Monday
Friday: Special Unit2 is currently rerunning 3 shows a night on the SciFi Channel. I tape 'em if they’re good
Saturday: nothin unless SCiFi is running a pretty good movie.

None of it’s really must see. Mostly we keep it on in the background while we surf.

I politley disagree - Arrested Development is genius. Absolute genius. Best show ever.

“BEES?!”

/G.O.B.

Yes, thanks - I forgot what day it came on! I watch too much TV…

Sunday

  • Rome
  • Family Guy & Simpsons (both are kind of off and on but can be funny at times)

Monday

  • Heroes is a pretty good show
  • The Class isn’t shakespeare but it’s pretty fun
  • How I met your mother is worth watching b/c of Neil Patrick Harris

Tuesday

  • Boston Legal - two words…Denny Crane
  • House - Hugh Laurie is great

Wednesday
-Friday Night Lights - sure it’s a football show but there is so much more to it than that. The actual football takes up about 5 minutes every two weeks.

Thursday
-The Office - I didn’t watch it the first two seasons and a friend finally convinced me. I then watched the first two seasons back to back. Enough Said.
-My Name is Earl - quirky, funny
-Scrubs - It’s fun as well. Probably the three best sitcoms on TV and they are back to back. Okay fine, that isn’t saying a great deal but trust me…they ain’t bad.
Ugly Betty - really worth watching. Interesting full characters, that’s always the first thing I look for.

Friday
-Numb3rs - I’m a David Krumholtz fan (“I’m thinking of getting a Tercel…yeah, that’s a Toyota!”). I never get tired of that guy.

Another vote for The Shield and The Office. Also, 30 Rock seems to have gotten better and better as time’s gone on, despite the presence of Tracy Morgan (Alec Baldwin is awesome on that show).

I don’t go out of my way to watch anything. Never have. Never will. If I have some time to spare and am flipping around the channels I usually watch: news, documentaries, Larry King, or sometimes stand-up comedy or Jon Stewart.

I have seen Scrubs a few times. It’s OK. Apart from that I don’t think I’ve seen anything else on this list. At least not an entire episode. (Apart from Corner Gas. It’s brilliant.)

Am I alone here?

I’ve only got one anymore, now that WoW has eaten my life, and that’s House. Never miss it on first run, and I DVR it to watch again later.

I also watch American Idol and CSI, but those have gone to the DVR and I’m several weeks behind on catching up with them.
