Must-Not-Miss TV?
Ok, so I'm curious. What are your Must Watch shows? I'm talking, things you make an effort to tune in almost every week and/or tape or watch the replay, not just surfing around and watching when bored.

Mine:
Countdown (usually on the rerun)
Jon Stewart
Battlestar Galactica (I think, it's still pretty new).

You?

1. "American Dreams" and...
Edited on Tue Jan-25-05 01:14 PM by skypilot
..."The Amazing Race". I don't have cable so I have to wait for the cable shows to come out on DVD.

2. I'm happy to say I have no must watch shows.
I do check into Washington Journal in the morning before work. I used to be much more religious in my viewing. The election took the religion out of me.

That's all.

I like Monk, too, but I don't always see it.

13. Six Feet Under, Sopranos, Arrested Development, Daily Show, CYE

And 24 because it's so laughably bad.

Also, if i'm a bit ****ed Trailer Park Boys makes for good viewing.

17. Re: American Idol
But the stupidity is the good part. I hate it when later on in the show everyone starts to sound alike and even do nearly the same songs--including the guys. Then, it starts to look more like a talent competition, and it's not, really. Tim Goodman from the San Francisco Chronicle goes on at length about this in Monday's column. Here's a link:

21. Thanks for the link!
I completely agree... I'll watch at least as long as the auditions go on, not sure after that.

25. No problem
I know most people here hate Fox because of Murdoch and their news group, but most of the shows I watch (in addition to college hoops) are on Fox or Fox Sports. I'm not a Fox News fan though.

24. The Apprentice, Amazing Race, The Simpsons, and ....
Malcolm in the Middle and Arrested Development. We had been watching Big Obnoxious Boss until they canned it.... grrr (we think the decision maker was a monkey - what's your guess?)

We also try to catch that spouse-swapping show on ABC (I don't like the FOX copycat version) but usually manage to forget to record it (we never watch anything on TV "live").

We've also started getting into High School Reunion but missed some shows.

And we record the reruns for Friends, King of the Hill, and Frasier. And sometimes the Short List on PBS.

Edited on Tue Jan-25-05 02:23 PM by Zing Zing Zingbah
It don't really care if I miss it. I guess I don't really have a Must Watch show.
