I'm considering dropping my cable service because I don't watch enough TV. But without cable I can't get ANY channels in, and I know from experience that if I dropped it, THEN I'd want to watch TV! Besides, I have a package deal with cable/phone/internet.

I mostly watch the Travel Channel when I watch TV. I love to travel but right now can only do "armchair traveling". They repeat their shows too much, and I really don't care for yet another "how the super-rich travel in luxury" type show (I'm never going to be super rich!), and I won't watch "Bizarre Foods" because it grosses me out! I do however watch Samantha Brown's shows (Passport to Europe, Passport to Latin America), and a few others.

I used to watch Grey's Anatomy but haven't been keeping up with it lately. I've also watched What Not to Wear (but I totally disagree with their "No miniskirts after age 35" rule! ) and Little People, Big World.

I love Red Dwarf! Another older show (sometimes shown in reruns) that totally fascinates me is Alien Nation. And of course I watch Star Trek. (yeah I'm a sci-fi geek. ) Actually there are a lot of older shows that I watched, more than the newer ones. Life seems to get in the way now, or I'm just interested in other things. I'm not into reality TV (with the exception of Little People Big World, but not sure that is what people think of as "reality TV" and Extreme Makeover Home Edition). Most newer sitcoms don't appeal to me either - like standup comedy, it's gotten too much into gender stereotyping. So mostly I like travel shows, sci fi and adventure type shows.
