What are you watching tonight - X-Files or Iowa results?

There's nothing else on.

I'll be camped out in the family room watching Iowa while wife watches X-Files in bedroom. I can always catch up on X-Files On Demand.

Will MSNBC still be the place to watch? I've barely hit that channel in 4 years.

I could multi task and have the returns on a tablet I suppose

A bit too much fantasy in the elections for me at the moment.

Newest Sherlock special set in Victorian London. Just arrived Sat in DVD format and the G/F and I have been looking forward to sitting down, relaxing with some wine and the smooth performances of Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch.

Back in the day I was what you would have called a super duper crazy x-files fan. Even started the official GA website. Been on the set, owned a scully fbi badge - if it was in anyway associated with the show I was there. Haven't watched the return and have absolutely zero plans of ever watching that show again. I'd rather watch a public works program on waste disposal then the x-files. But if I need to watch a show about alien theories there is always ancient aliens.

But I do have Game of Thrones dvd's. Man April can't here soon enough.

That's what they did a couple of weeks ago for the first episode of the X-Files so that they could put the post game of the NFL playoff game instead, so that so many of us would get screwed on our DVRS only getting half the show.

Makes me nervous if they'll do the same tonight.

I'll definitely watch it later to catch my old high school classmate who plays Skinner in it.

I've been watching a lot of BBC shows over at You Tube and learning a thing or two in the process. I suppose I'll check the results before I go in to read myself to sleep, 2 AM or so, but I'll check online. Blow dried bobbleheads spouting endless bafflegab on the TV annoy the hell out of me.

Never got into the X-Files.
I am at work until 11.
Will check out DU from time to time.
When I get home, I'll probably watch Animal Planet and go to bed.
