I don’t watch any TV live regularly, and I don’t record any and watch it later, either.

I do, sometimes, watch NFL on Sunday Afternoons.

I do routinely watch NCIS, NCIS LA, and NCIS New Orleans on CBS’s website at my convenience. (Due to an inconvenient work schedule, tv shows that end after 8 or 9 pm, are just too late to be worth staying up for).

Oh, yes, and _Game of Thrones_ when it’s on, and _Limitless_ now.

Normally, I just rewatch classic tv shows . But there are a FEW I watch live.

They are:  
Last Man Standing  
Blood And Oil(it’s probably going to get cancelled)  
Dr.Ken

That’s all the current tv shows I watch .

I tend to have the news on most of the time these days, but I also record the following:

Elementary  
Brooklyn Nine Nine  
Dancing with the Stars  
So you think you can dance  
Agents of Shield  
The Daily Show  
Jon Oliver

I think that’s most of it.

With The Daily Show and Jon Oliver’s show, if I can’t get to them within a day, I end up deleting them unwatched.

Good clarification, thanks.

Got my first TiVo almost 15 years ago. As such time and location are irrelevant, IOW I have no idea what day, time or even what channel number anything is on. I watch a lot of adult animation, the McFarlane shows, \*The Simpsons \*(out of habit even though its terrible), _Bob’s Burgers_, _ADHD_, _Archer_ and of course Adult Swim. I also like PBS documentaries like _NOVA, Frontline, Secrets of the Dead_ etc.

Seriously though, in terms of the OP’s question regarding my ‘TV schedule’, because of the convenience and functionality of DVRs I have no TV schedule. I watch what I want whenever I feel like it. Hard to remember a time otherwise anymore…

Dateline  
Family Guy  
48 Hours  
Law & Order SVU

We DVR almost everything, including sports (we start watching 30 minutes late, to skip commercials)

We usually watch Bill Maher on Friday nights.  
John Oliver on Sunday nights  
One football game on Saturday and at least one on Sunday.  
Modern Family on Wednesdays  
CBS Sunday Morning sometime on Sunday

That’s all our “regular” viewing. We certainly watch other things, but there is no pattern or standard shows.

Including _Rick and Morty_, I hope. One of my favorite relatively-new shows.

Almost everything we watch is DVR or streamed. Once in a while watch a game ~live.

No fixed schedule for when we watch something after it airs. The next night or months later.

There is a schedule of sorts:

After dinner watch a _Colbert_ or _Conan_. Then usually a drama or two sitcoms. Then a _Daily/Nightly Show_ or somesuch. Go to bed. Quasi-binge watch an old episode of a drama and then a sitcom each night. Right now we are working our way thru the complete series of _House, M.D._ and _Scrubs_. Sometimes they are the most recently completed season of something.

</div>

Weekdays - I record The Price is Right and watch it when I get home from work.

Sunday - Bob’s Burgers (if it’s not pre-empted because it’s a Fox NFL doubleheader day), The Simpsons, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Family Guy, and Robot Chicken (I live out west and get an east coast feed for Cartoon Network, so it’s on around 9 PM). RC is the only one recorded, but I watch it right after FG ends.

Monday - Gotham.

Tuesday - The Muppets, Fresh Off the Boat, and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.S.

Wednesday - Chicago Fire (recorded from Tuesday), Best Time Ever with NPH (also recorded from Tuesday), and blackish.

Thursday - Code Black (recorded from Wednesday), Heroes Reborn, and occasionally Sleepy Hollow. Once Chicago Med starts, I’ll record that and watch it the next day as well.

Friday & Saturday - if I watch anything, it’s probably something on Amazon Prime, like old episodes of Archer or Curb Your Enthusiasm. I also watch NXT and 20-year-old episodes of WCW Nitro on WWE Network.
