5. Really not a lot.
I watch the reruns of TDS and TCR the next day, and I'm a West Wing addict. Oh, and "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" makes me laugh like hell.

That is some funny stuff.

I have to send it to my sister.

I can't take credit for it though. It was designed by someone on the official 'Skins message board. http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/

22. I post there.
There is great truth to that warning. I hear if they win out, or go 9-7 we are in the playoffs, and if they win out and the Giants lose another one, we win the division. I can't hold my breath any more, though..lol.

That bad call against the Bucs was a killer.

26. I love SG-1, but feel like they "Jumped the Shark" with last season.
All the time travel episodes ruined it.
Too convenient that of the doubles only one of each team member survived.
Then when this past season started it was like it never happened.
Plus I miss Richard Dean Anderson.

9. Channel 2 news at 5 in the morning.
It's a really awful show, especially since they acquired Karl Click from channel 8 (I suppose they thought that was a coup). But it provides a dim, close-captioned light for me when I'm waking up, having my coffee, and checking the internets. And weather woman Julia Radlick has demonstrated a very good fashion sense. I like those kicky skirts she sports.

That's the only show I watch regularly.

11. Not as many as I used to
Every weekday:

Neighbours (Australian soap I've watched since I was about 6)
The Daily Show
Newsnight (daily news & current affairs show on the BBC)

Once a week:

Lost (we're still on season 1)
Curb Your Enthusiasm (on season 4)
Little Britain (I've grown to really hate this show, but I feel obliged to watch it)
Peep Show (Best British comedy at the moment IMO)
Have I Got News For Your (satirical panel game)
QI (another panel game about "quite interesting" facts)

I think that's it. I'm also keeping half an eye to "Space Cadets" which has just started (where a group of people are conned into thinking they're going into space).

Where possible, I'm also watching repeats of "Homicide: Life on the Streets", "The Larry David Show" and "Action".

14. At night, all of the CSI's and ER...I can't help myself on the last one...
I've been watching it since it started, even though all it does is go for maximum cry factor every show now. Although Weaver's dedication of the Romano Gay/Lesbian department cracked me up. It's a pretty progressive show. Oh, I forgot, Commander in Chief. I love that show. And then sometimes I catch the tivo of the Daily Show, but the Colbert report has been disappointing thus far. :hi:

16. Lately I've hardly watched any TV
There isn't anything I absolutely have to watch, but I have my tivo set up to save Family Guy and I watch that if it's a new one. I'll watch The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy if it's on, or flip the channel to Animal Planet if I want something to watch while I fold clothes, but lately I prefer quiet.

Thanks to LeftyKid, I can recite nearly every episode of Blues Clues, Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go and the Backyardigans from memory. :sigh:

44. Oh I love Blues Clues!
LeftyKid has good taste!

I also watch Teletubbies, Rugrats and Recess. (Hey, what's the point of being an adult if you can't act like a kid?)

Lately I really like the Backyardigans, though. The songs are all really cute.

25. at our house we watch:
Edited on Sat Dec-10-05 01:56 PM by jane_pippin
The Daily Show
The Colbert Report
Countdown w/ Keith
Simpsons
Family Guy
American Dad
Arrested Development (before the bastards canceled it. *shakes fist*)
My Name is Earl
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Real Time w/ Bill Maher
Extras
Tom Goes to the Mayor
Aqua Teen Hunger Force
Sealab 2021 too, before the bastards canceled it (*shakes fist again*)
And the occasional America's Next Top Model/Project Runway marathon serves as our non-guilty guilty pleasure.

However, "regularly" depends on the work schedule. I've had to miss My Name is Earl and Arrested Development, but my friend taped them for me so it's a-ok.

29. Newsnight (most evenings)
daily news programme which usually covers 3 topics in quite some depth - damn fine programme available on-line http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsnight

Grand Designs (documentary which follows folk building their own houses).

If I notice that they're on:
Have I Got News for You (satirical news quiz)
Q.I. (somewhat bizzare panel game based on 'interesting' but obscure knowledge).

When they're on, that is. I have been catching the Comedians of Comedy here lately though. It's mostly Weather Channel just for noise, or an occasional C-span viewing.

36. More than I realized
I am so happy that Project Runway is back on!!!!! Then there's:

Amazing Race
Law & Order SVU
The Daily Show
ER (still have to watch for some reason)
Desperate Housewives (it's a sickness)
Grey's Anatomy
CSI (original)


I'm finding it a little sad that none of them are comedies, which means that the quality of those shows are horrible right now.
