Am I the only one watching tv?

I watch Earl, too, and think the show is one the freshest and funniest currently on the tube.

I still stick with the tried and true shows like the Law and Orders and CSIs and continue to enjoy them, for the most part.

Others are ones like Doctor Who, The Last Detective, Heartbeat, among others.

I hate to admit it, but yeah; I watch TV too.

Haven't for quite a while, but I broke down and bought an antenna,
now I get 2 channels! Which is enough for me!

I really like HOUSE. Some deep themes there, which are lacking
on the VAST majority of other shows (from those I remember, that is.)

I like Shark too! James Woods is a guy you love to hate, even though
he is pretty smart. Interesting how he always justifies his means!

Now I'm not particularly proud of this, but I do watch Ghost Whisperer
from time to time. What's your take on that one

Another reason why I asked if I was the only one watching tv *whispers to moderators* ...is old threads often stay featured. /cough

I watched lots of tv -- i dont know what I would do without it!

Baghhh.. you guys are all talk. I mean, there's not even a HEREOS thread.

When I was young, hamburger wasn't a big fan of watching television just to watch television. So - no channel surfing. You had to know what you were going to watch before you turn on the television.

<hamburger will likely remember this quite differently, but this is how I recall it>

For some reason, even though I've got my own house, my own t.v., and my own satellite dish, I don't have a t.v. guide so I never know what's on (except for The Dog Whisperer on Sunday night, and What Not to Wear on Friday nights), and I'm still weirdly reluctant to just browse around on the television.

If I ever happen across My Name is Earl, or Ugly Betty, while I'm looking for news on the satellite, I'm quite happy. I like those two shows - but I don't really know when they're on.

Beth, it's my turn to help you out.

The best thing is that it's free!

Hey ehBeth, I watch both those shows. Never miss the Dog Whisperer. Sometimes miss What Not to Wear.

Has anyone seen the "Let's Rob Mick Jagger" show? Is it still on? I know it has another title but I don't know what it is. I was excited about this show, along with several others (a show with Jeff Goldblum, the James Wood show, the Ray Liotta show) but I've missed them all. I rarely watch network TV. It's cable mostly, movies in particular, and I seem to forget that there's anything else. The last network show that I watched with any regularity was Frasier.

Reyn, I think we can officially call you an enabler now

Thanks for the info.

Why did it never occur to me to look this up?

Roberta, we can dish about Cesar and the dogs in June - as well as Stacey and Clinton. Do you also see the original Brit version of WNTW with Trini and Susannah?

Sorry Joa, I just lost my desire to watch tv, but I might pick it up again some day
The occational times I do watch, I'm all over the CSI shows.

Great to see ya! How's your little bundle of joy? :-D

I would have started a thread on the TV show "Supernatural". However, my daughter is a production assistant for that show. (It might be against A2K rules for me to promote a show that a family member works for.)

Well what do you know - Earl's on tonight!

Glad I was able to help out. :wink:

Nope, haven't seen the British version.

Saw the Dog Whisperer and WNTW tonight.

I've also become one as well.

I expected not to like it, because it seemed to be stealing it's premise from Profiler, a show whose main psychic character was a really cool, urban single mother.

Medium took the same idea and built it around a suburban soccer mom, and I was prepared to dislike it in comparison. But it is so well scripted and well done generally I became a fan. I don't know if it was meant for a female audience or not, but good writing and characters can make a show's appeal universal.

Hello, jaohaeyo, from your Oz correspondent!

Not a big fan of TV at all. Sorry.
I hardly ever watch it at all these days .... the offerings (apart from news & current affairs) are sadly woeful & uninspiring.

But I must say I'm absolutely fixated, entranced, sucked in by (very ancient by US standards & now defunct, I believe) episodes of The West Wing, still running on ABC television (the Oz national public broadcaster).
Now that is exceptionally good television!

I know I'm talking old TV to you US folk, but The West Wing is the best thing I've seen come out of the US for years!
Seriously addictive!

msolga, The first season (and maybe the second--can't be sure) of the West Wing were quite good. I thought it went downhill fairly quickly and stopped watching.

I watched the first season of Medium and then lost interest.

Roberta - will you be watching the two special WNTW episodes this week? I'm planning around them

Tell me more. Special?

I'm a big fan, but only run into it occasionally, never seem to remember when it's on.

(I think I told you that I nominated E.G. a while back, they never got back to me though, sigh...)
