Name something(s) you'd know nothing about if it weren't for television.

Me?

Miranda rights
How things go in a courtroom
Many, many, many animals
Lots of "Dirty Jobs" (I love that show)
Potent Potables (how drinks are mixed)
Lots of cooking procedures (how to whip cream for whipped cream, for example)

You?

:rofl: I love this.

Charlie's Angels, original TV show.

i too love dirty jobs and that is the only program that made me want to puke due to an episode at some farm. but i love that show!

i learned a lot about cooking and sewing from some public tv show too!

How to hack the FBI database. (Seriously, is there a crime-procedural made in the past 5 years where someone doesn't eventually hack the FBI's databases? I think they need a better firewall and maybe some decent encryption and a halfway-competant IT person.)

Conspiracy theories on how Jesus was a freemason and how everybody from Adolf Hitler to John Lennon to Dan Brown is secretly part of Christ's bloodline. (I remember when they used to have real historical programming on History Channel.)

George Lucas. I've never seen Star Wars, I never want to see Star Wars...if they never talked about him on TV, I'd have no idea who he was. The best of the Indiana Jones movies (Temple of Doom) is the one he was unsatisfied with and wanted to kill after it was in the can. Fuck George Lucas, I hope he gets trapped in a small room with Jar-Jar Binks for eternity.

Congress, sausage-making, Mickey Mantle's diseased liver. I'd rather not know, thanks. It's vomit-worthy in all three cases.

That movie is easily the worst he's ever done. Maybe one of the worst anyone's ever done.

Although I'd like to know how the machines that make the things are designed and made, too :D

I'm a "Deadliest Catch" junkie!

Biker's Old Lady

I loved that show.

And there's plenty of good youtube clips from it still.

Just saw some a few weeks ago.

Cheers!

Cake decoration.

Bridezillas...

From "Seinfeld," the show about nothing.

Because I only drink and screw in moderation.

Places all around the World, and what to see there, what to do there, and what to eat there. Thanks, Travel Channel, Anthony Bourdain, Rick Steves, Andrew Zimmern, Rudy Maxa, and Samantha Brown!

How stuff is made (e.g., "Unwrapped")

How to make interesting dishes with odd ingredients ("Chopped", "Iron Chef")

And, of course, current events and political happenings that only get reported by Keith and Rachel.

Really one of the best shows I have ever seen.

all about Cardiff Wales and the Cardiff Millennium Centre.
