Poll question: How many TV shows do you watch regularly? |
|
Edited on Fri Dec-10-04 01:36 PM by redqueen
I watch 4 regularly, including Jon Stewart. I also sometimes watch Mike & Mike in the morning and Keith Olbermann but I'm not counting those since I only see it for maybe 30 minutes twice a week.
Just trying to gauge how much TV we watch...
editing to list my other regularly watched shows: Scrubs, Lost and Joan of Arcadia
editing again - I forgot football! I watch MNF and at least three games on the weekends. That's a lotta TV.

That's about it really, I frequently consider hollowing the thing out and using it as an Aquarium.

13. Well, they have (WebTV) but |
|
my fear is that it's contageous and there soon wouldn't be anything online but infomercials.

7. I don't watch anything regularly |

I like to watch the Simpsons and I enjoy Will and Grace but there's nothing on television that it will bother me to miss.

8. TDS and Scrubs. Combined, they are the best writing on TV. |

9. There are four I go out of my way to see. |
|
"The Daily Show", "Late Night with Conan O'Brien", "Scrubs", and "Less Than Perfect".
"Monk" used to be on that list, until I heard they were dumping Bitty Schramm.

11. Oh yes, Monk would be on mine as well, but it's not on now. |
|
And when American Idol comes back in January, I'll watch that.
I'll still watch Monk, too. Bitty Schram was great but I heart Tony Shalhoub.

Other than that, I watch TDS, The Simpsons, Arrested Development and Futurama and Family Guy reruns.

14. Daily Show and whichever series is on HBO |
|
We watch whatever the HBO series is running at the time: Sopranos, The Wire, Oz, SatC, Deadwood, Curb Your Enthusiasm.
And Bill Maher when he's on.

16. I will NOT miss Olbermann. |

Edited on Fri Dec-10-04 01:23 PM by crispini
I watch the Daily Show sometimes... but, for me, the problem is that once I get hooked on a series-type show -- and it has to be a pretty good show for me to get hooked on it, viz: Buffy -- I will OBSESS. I will work my schedule around it. I will go discuss it on TWoP. I will record the shows and rewatch it. I will be completely insane about watching it Exactly. When. It. Goes. On.
Therefore, I try not to get hooked on stuff. I'm kind of addictive that way.
Edited to add: Jeez! I can't have a post of mine mention KO :loveya: and not have floaty hearts in it! Omission remedied. :evilgrin:

20. Are those floaty hearts because you love the show? |
|
Or because you think Keith's hot?
I hardly EVER get to see my shows when they're on. Sometimes I end up with a week's worth of TDS to catch up on.

I do like the news style on "Countdown" -- somehow they manage to be slick and entertaining and also give us substance.
But, you know, KO -- sigh -- a man of brains, integrity, AND looks. Certainly wouldn't kick *him* outta bed for eating crackers. :loveya:

17. OK, you asked. Here's my line-up. |
|
Edited on Fri Dec-10-04 01:23 PM by Skarbrowe
I still catch a little Tweety every now and then and Countdown for my only news source other than the internet. edited to add The Daily Show. Don't know how I forgot about that one.
Monday Waking the Dead on BBC.
Tuesday Judging Amy (hey I like it!) and L&O SVU
Wednesday LOST(my fave at the moment) West Wing and sometimes L&O
Thursday CSI Without a Trace and ER (still, although it's tanking)
Friday I try to watch Enterprise ( old habits die hard ) THIRD WATCH (love it)
Saturday Zilch ( hmmm, good name for a show )
Sunday sometimes 60 Minutes Cold Case
Cable and Premium shows when they are airing
Dead Zone (love it!) Nip/Tuck Carnivale Sopranos Queer as Folk The L Word Dead Like Me Stargate 1 Stargate Atlantis (though it sucks) Battlestar Galactica is coming up soon
Ok, that's a rough idea. Now I can vote a number.
And yes, I don't have a life.

18. Oh, HOW can you watch Nip/Tuck?! |
|
I can't even *think* about the basic concept of that show without getting grossed out.
Of course, I once watched a real facelift on "The Operation" and I think that has scarred me for life.

29. I look away on the fake surgery scenes. |
|
I didn't watch the show when it first came on for the very reason that you state. I have no interest at all in plastic surgery. It's the rare show that I watch for the complex relationship and chemistry between the two male leads. It also has some great music. Uh, Famke Jennsen might have a little to do with it. Just a little.

Lets see, then I watch 6 shows. If only on TV, then its 2.
I love my anime :)

That's why I like shows like seinfeld,the simpsons, and law and order so much... it doesn't make a difference if you miss a week.

Democracy Now! Daily Show and Curb Your Enthusiasm. I have pretty much "gone off" commercial tv since the election. If I watch anything else, it's normally on HBO. Doing my part to starve the beast.

32. Only good sci-fi when it comes to shows |
|
And not even current shows at that: X-Files, Star Trek TOS/NG, Twilight Zone several times a week. I also watch several shows on the Science channel's Tuesday night space lineup.
Deceiving though since I watch a lot of movies.

But just 'cause there's none I set aside time in my schedule for doesn't mean I don't end up watching my fair share of TV. I can watch pretty much any show about music on VH1 or whatever Congressional proceedings are going on C-SPAN if I'm trying to find something to keep me from working on whatever I should be working on. For a while when my sleeping schedule was turned around pretty crazy it was getting pretty bad there... I was nightly enjoying a two-hour block of "Family Ties", "Cheers", "The Brady Bunch", and "Happy Days" from 2-4 AM on TV Land! But, alas, I have recovered!
