Your TV Habits

omg. lol...compared to you guys, i'm a huge couch potato. i love shows and sitcoms. most are so well-written these days, it's like reading a great novel or something. i watch alot of the one hour dramas (Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Nip/Tuck, Brothers and Sisters, Pushing Daisies) and most of the great sitcom reruns (Golden Girls, Frasier, Will and Grace, Friends, etc.) and then reality shows (SOME of the crap on Vh1, Top Model, Big Brother)

dear Lord..lol...it isn't as bad as it sounds!

i am more into cassetes/CD's and literature.
T.V. scares me.

I am Amish, I don't have electricity or a television. LOL

Why not? You don't work . . . what else have you got to do at night?

You have a baby! How can you raise a healthy, normal, well-adjusted child in a house without a television?!? How will she learn to count to 10 in Spanish without Sesame Street?

I am a child of the 70's and as such love schlock tv. Unlike some educated people my tastes are not highbrow. I do not watch Masterpiece Theater and rarely watch PBS. I do love the old black and white movies, the shows highlighted above, and anything with Cary Grant, Bette Davis, David Niven, Paul Henreid, Doris Day, Rock Hudson. I hate most reality television.

I also watch LOST, Cashmere Mafia, NCIS, CSI (all 3), Law & Order (the first 2), Numbers, Greys Anatomy, and a host of others.

Really? is your computer plugged into your clydesdales ass?

No, the Amish have gas powered televisions.

I only have the tv on when I do needlepoint, which is many hours a week.. but it's more to have sound in the background.. I never watch it.

I have a boob tube next to the kitchen sink and only watch it while cooking or doing the dishes. There are others around the house hidden behind cabinets and they rarely get turned on.

Between the news and commercials I've found that I get despondent with information overload if I watch too much so I choose to actively participate in my entertainment instead of being passively fed on the couch.

The show that I'm into the most is Prison Break. I like Wentworth Miller, the main character. Other than that, I like Travel Channel, Weather Channel, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, and any show on big wave surfing.

The Amish have steam powered TV's. They're the update from the coal powered ones.

I watch DVD's. The household here goes through series sets. SMALLVILLE, LOST, HEROES, RED DWARF, QUATERMASS, DIGIMON, HOGFATHER, the set of Buster Keaton silent films, BRISCO COUNTY...and DVD's of quality films. recently saw BELL BOOK AND CANDLE.

LOST is the subject of another thread, because it has spawned websites.

the tv is like a decorative thing in my living room.... i watch tv only when I go visit someone and has the tv turned on...
Anyway, I'm always up to date with the news cause I listen to the radio in my car, and if it's something important people always inform me. Anyway, i watch movies on my dvd but when i get bored of surfing the net i take a book and start reading.

oh and i also like Prison Break, (and Wentworth, of course) but i see it on dvd.

Shows I watch regularly:

Grey's Anatomy
Private Practice
American Idol
Dance Wars: Bruno vs Carrie Ann
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
House

I rarely watch any of these shows when they are actually ON.... I generally catch up to them online when I have available time to do so.
