I have 2 TVs and rarely watch either. I'm fairly sure there is this second TV. I think it's in my daughter's room, I hear it, but can't recall seeing it.
On Wednesday night Extras is on, and all I have to do is to stay up til 9pm to watch it.
What sent me out of the room last night? The Kylie Minogue special?

I watch the only TV "news" worth watching - "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report." That's about it.

I hate watching anything live anymore unless I happen to be working with the TV on and am not paying attention. It's pretty easy to get used to not seeing commercials.

I love the original Law and Order reruns, and could watch them all day. I'm not sure I ever thought of Jack McCoy as yummy though. :)
But that leads me to wonder why Scott Bakula is so darn cute as Sam Beckett on Quantum Leap and not so much anywhere else. Is it because his face sort of folded in as he got older? Or is it the character that was hot, not the actor? And how is that possible?

.....and watch dvds on my laptop. Right now, I'm watching Eddie Izzard and he's very good. So good, in fact, I think I have some new wrinkles from where I have been laughing too much.
But I have to say its a rare 'treat' to watch anything.
Hey Declan, did you ever watch that um, what was it? They were a couple of sisters (?) who were a parody of a certain sub-set of Oz life.... I never saw any myself (obviously!) but apparently they won awards and stuff. What was it called? Something like 'Charlene and Tracey'???

In reply to Although I do cheat...., posted by Meri-Tuuli on March 4, 2007, at 14:19:45
Yeah, I've forgotten what it's called too. Mainly I like to watch films from Mongolia like "The Weeping Camel" and "The Cave of the Yellow Dog". I'm a bit suss of the anglo world...except for the truly excellent Ricki Gervais.
I see from the links a reference to "Since Omar Left". From Georgia (former USSR) in Russian, Georgian and French. The best movie perhaps I've seen.

Watch something live? Heaven forbid!!!! ;)
It's awesome, but I always record way more than I'll ever have time to watch. I rely on the Season Passes, though, for the shows I do watch regularly. And when you are watching something and just can't understand what someone's saying, which seems to be happening more and more on drama shows these days, you can rewind and replay with the sound muted and the closed-captioning on to figure it out. Love that, too. We used to do that at least 2-3 times an episode with West Wing. Darned mumbling, talking over each other actors.
I think my husband finally deleted the Super Bowl this past week after watching that most excellent Colts victory many times over. We've got our own "Coach's clicker" with Tivo.
Love it. Can ya tell?

Apart from some vague reference to it on Sex and the City once, I have no idea what Tivo is, nor have I ever heard of it. ? I'm guessing its like some digital recording thing? Well anyway. Its pretty ignorant of me, I know. Perhaps its a Sky thing? You know, cable (satelite?) and all that. I have no idea. As you can probably tell.
Oh well. I doubt I'll be getting Tivo anytime soon!

My favorites are Lost, Grey's Anatomy & Family Guy.
I ordered DirectTV (satellite) for my new apt with a DVR (same as Tivo). I've never had cable so I'm really excited. I didn't order any movie channels just basic. I think I'm most excited about seeing my regular shows without all the snow!

I'd pictured them all blond hair in blue water.
They're not as good looking as I'd hoped.

I Tivo a few random shows and never watch them, mostly The Daily Show and Colbert Report and the Keith Olbermann Show, and a bunch of reality shows that I never watch, unless I have to do my exercises and then I sometimes watch one to keep me from screaming. (Although you'd think they'd make me scream. Sometimes they do. Then I try another one.)
I can only watch on Tivo, though. I can't bear commercials.

I, too, am addicted to TiVo. I simply can not watch live TV. To be honest, commercials kind of make me mad anymore.
Except for those Taco Bell commercials with the lions. Those crack me up.
But the shows I record to watch:
Scrubs
Medium
Criminal Minds
House - although it isn't on much anymore, and it's just not that good this season.
Old miami vice re-runs on TVland.
Dr. G. Medical Examiner
Untold stories of the ER.maddie

My swing shift schedule makes Tivo a must for us. I record Attack of the show on G4, Letterman, Xplay, on a nightly basis, and then whatever one time only stuff I wanna see. (racing etc) I often find my self hitting the "jump forward" button on live tv trying to avoid the commercials. Hate it when that happens.
