My TV schedule is like the list at posh club, not just anyone gets in. Despite the ravings of 24 and Lost cultists I refuse to watch those shows for fear that I might like them and have to add them to the list. I just don’t have room in my life (or tivo) for a new show.
So what are your shows? Keep the list to your top ten or less for brevity’s sake
The Sopranos
Big Love
The Real World
Iron Chef America
The Apprentice
Family Guy
24 on Mondays, House on Tuesdays, Lost on Wednesdays. Maybe CSI on Thursdays, although I’m watching it less and less. The Daily Show with Jon Stewart whenever I can catch it.
On DVD I have Firefly, Huff, Dead Like Me, The X-Files…
Law and Order:SVU
Arrested Development
America’s Next Top Model ( I know…I know…)
Project Runway
Intervention
Strangers with Candy
Reno 911
Elimidate
MXC
I know…guilty pleasures…but TV isn’t really going to help me become a rocket scientist anyways
oh yeah and WONDERSHOWZEN!
America’s Next Top Model (Say it loud and say it proud: “Shut up! It’s cool!”) and Lost are the only ones I go out of my way to watch or keep up with what’s going on.
But if I happen to be bored (like that ever happens…) shows that I’ll watch without checking to see if anything else is on are Law and Order (any type) CSI (only Las Vegas) Without a Trace, Mythbusters, and Good Eats.
The only shows of mine that are still in production are 24, The Shield, Scrubs, The Office, and My Name Is Earl. Oh yeah, I guess I’m a How I Met Your Mother convert, too.
The Daily Show
The Colbert Report
Monk

The Ultimate Fighter
Scrubs

Arrested Development would be at the top, but people I plan to kill saw fit to cancel it.
Sticking to shows currently being (or recently been) broadcast here that I try not to miss:
House
Monk
CSI (even Miami sometimes)
Battlestar Galactica
Top Gear
QI
Dr Who
and (tries to sneak this by un-noticed)
Bones
Old shows that I’ll catch when they’re on
The Clangers (obviously)
The Rockford Files – both BBC2 and ITV1 have been showing this intermittently for a while, sometimes at the same time.
Sometimes I’ll take a peak at Trek (any flavour) to see which episode I’m not bothering to watch (oh, that one) since I’ve seen every episode at least twice I just don’t bother any more.
On DVD I have Criminal Minds and Huff though they’ve not yet been on air over here.
I don’t have cable, so the list is short:
Cold Case
(Wife Swap, if it’s on while I’m waiting for…)
The Apprentice
NCIS
That’s it. I didn’t watch Amazing Race this season, and I’m not sure if I’ve lost interest or if I just had too freaking much going on.
Appointment TV:
Grey’s Anatomy
Prison Break
Gilmore Girls
Veronica Mars (I didn’t watch it last year, but I just finished Season 1 on DVD and I’ve tivo’d Season 2 and it’s appointment TV this year!)
Lost
Supernatural
Tivo it/Watch if I catch it:
America’s Next Top Model
House
Invasion (I didn’t watch the whole season, but what a great finale! Sad it won’t be back.)
One Tree Hill
The Daily Show/The Colbert Report (I tivo it, but I don’t always get to all of them)
So NoTorious (I know…)
The Surreal Life (Zip it!)
Best Week Ever/Celebrity Eye Candy/I Love the Whatever/Top 20 or 40 or 100 Whatever on VH1. I never seek these ones out, but if I come across them, I may not move for hours.

Joss Whedon’s oeuvre
Arrested Development
Wonderfalls
60 Minutes
The Simpsons

Top Gear
Coronation Street
Dr Who

Cold Case (mmm, Scottie)
New Adventures of Old Christine (I don’t care, I think she’s funny!)
Penn & Teller’s Bullshit (althogh this season has been weakish, so far)

My Name is Earl
And I catch King of the Hill on reruns
The Simpsons

Battlestar Galactica
X-Play
ST:TNG (reruns on Spike and G4)
House
Medium
Iron Chef (original)
Mythbusters
Cold Case (a recent conversion - I saw a couple of shows and loved them even though it has been on for years I think)
The Simpsons (although I have missed a few recently without any angst which usually means I will soon stop watching)
Arrested Development, Scrubs and Family Guy when possible but all are late night shows here so I see them infrequently.
Three Aussie shows:
RocKwiz a funny rock ‘n’ roll game show
Nerds FC where two professional soccer coaches try to turn a team of nerds into a soccer team. The only reality TV show I have ever enjoyed because the guys are so intelligent and pleasant and don’t care if they look like fools.
Thank God Your Here - a deceptively simple setup where each week 4 comedians are thrown into scenes with a bunch of other actors. The other actors know what is going on but the comedian doesn’t. A kind of variant of Whose Line Is It Anyway but with the extra charm of evryone but one person playing it straight.
In no particular order.
Lost
Grey’s Anatomy
Desperate Housewives
House
Law & Order: CI
Project Runway
Deadliest Catch
Sopranos
The Soup
The Apprentice
Gilmore Girls (although like FilmGeek, I’m not too sure about next season after the way this season has sucked donkey balls)
The Office
My Name is Earl
Survivor
Scrubs
The Simpsons
Stargate: SG1
Battlestar Galactica
We also watch a lot of British shows on BBC America and PPV, but I’m not sure if or when some of these will return.
EastEnders (which is on PPV, so we get that every week)
Sea of Souls
Footballers’ Wives
Holiday Showdown
Bromwell High
Little Britain
Creature Comforts
The Thick of It
Rocketman (which just finished, actually)
