What will the Dopers be watching this fall (Mondays)?

Antiques Roadshow on PBS at eight, then off to bed with a cup of tea, a cat and a good book.

Oh, yeah! PBS. It’s not that Public TV is bad out here, but it doesn’t hold a candle to WGBH in Boston, where I lived until 7 years ago.

Well, this shouldn’t conceivably be a surprise, particularly to anyone who’s ever done * any * remodeling of their own. Almost all these shows have a ridiculously tight schedule (e.g. completely remodel a house in six days). Most of the schedules barely leave enough time for the drywall mud to harden, much less for anyone to do a decent job prepping surfaces and painting.

As for the OP, I pretty much abandoned network TV a few years ago. For the past few months, SciFi channel has been running (the suprisingly decent) Stargate SG-1 on Monday nights, but that’s getting old now. So I dunno. Might have to get a life.

As with the past two seasons, I’ll be watching Everwood and CSI:Miami.

Why don’t they put any decent shows on in the 8pm timeslot on any days but Friday and Sunday? They could do better than reality tv in that slot, I think.

All the channels could do better than reality in all the slots, IYAM, unless they were all as good as “The Amazing Race”.

There were articles earlier this year saying that advertisers didn’t want reality TV anymore, so I’m surpised it makes up so much of the schedule for this fall.

Monday Night Football

What, there are other things on Monday nights too? :smiley:

WWE RAW

and nothing else

Never really watched anything on Mondays–don’t think I’ll be starting now.

Is that on cable somewhere?

Me, too!

Antiques Roadshow at 8, then three hours of back to back Law & Order reruns on TNT.

If TNT ever discontinues Monday night L&O night, i’ll have to start taking a class or something. :smiley:

Say it, Sister! Testify!

I recall a lot of tongue-clicking articles about MNF when Dennis Miller joined, saying the show should just be dropped, that it had lost its vitality.

I didn’t really buy it at the time. There’s nothing inherently different about football on Monday night than any other night. And if there weren’t announcers to hate, let’s face it, it wouldn’t be a football broadcast…

bump :wink:

Well, MNF seems to have had way too many lopsided-score games of late. That’s because the games are selected way ahead of the season, based on teams’ performance the previous season. But by the time trades and free agency take their toll, the new season’s teams may be a mere shadow of their previous selves.

But no matter, I’m still gonna watch because it’s still the best thing to watch on Monday nights.

And I HATE John Madden! What an overblown announcer/analyst he is!

I’ve seen part of exactly one football broadcast announced by John Madden.

He had a horrible abomination from hell called the “Coach’s Clicker”, which allowed him to scan back and forth through the instant replay in a motion-sickness inducing fashion while he tried to call attention to some detail or other.

I’ve found that to be the case myself. I’m not actually goingto sit and watch television for week straight.

Far cry from my childhood. You know how they used to say kids watch an average of 6 hours a day? It was really more like two or three. The rest was me wrecking the curve.
