Y’know what I love? Not watching TV. Seriously, it makes me happy that I only watch a few shows. When a show turns to crap, I am nearly giddy to cut it out of my viewing schedule. This season I dropped both Stargates. Last season I dropped Alias and Scrubs. And it all started when I dropped The Simpsons after their terrible decline, what was it... 5 years ago? I also don’t go out of my way to pick up new shows, I average about one new show a season. So if I’m doing the math right, I guess I’ll be completely TV-less in a few years? So, what do I deem worthy to watch?
Meet the Press
Family Guy
Arrested Development
My Name is Earl
Lost
Battlestar Galactica
That’s it. No sitcoms with unbearable laugh tracks. No worthless reality shows. No shows that used to be good but aren’t any more but I’m still watching them just because I watch them. And, of course, thanks to Tivo I never mindlessly flip through the channels hoping to randomly find something good to watch.
meet the press? Excuse my ignorance, I haven't even heard of it...?!
Enlighten?
I applaud your trending, here. But no daily show? No robot chicken? Those are the reasons to own a tivo, as far as I can tell.
Down with reality tv.
If it's Sunday, it's "Meet the Press."
Don't forget MLB on Fox. It's the post season. And I'm giddy.
Talk Soup is the funniest show on tv right now! Pick that show up for a good belly laugh.
Yup! I can't aggree with you more. I'm more giddy about the fact that I (the 25-35 year old male, the prime target of marketers) have removed myself from the radar.
I listen to podcasts for the drivetime, and watch only 3 regular TV shows with no adds present. Like I've said in my blog (plug), it's not TV that rots your brain, it's the adds. (and maybe reality shows)
I LOOOOOOOOVE TV.
HA.
Take it and like it.
Desperate Housewives, CSI, Nip/Tuck, Veronica Mars.
