If you HAVE a computer & ISP (and modem) that is fast enough to DOWNLOAD/STREAM the content, then yeah, that's an option, but if you don't, then it's a moot point.

What's everyone watching these days? Anyone want to chat about their shows?

I'm loving ABC's comedy lineup on Wednesdays. Old Christine, The Middle (esp. Brick), Modern Family. Even Cougar Town is pretty good. Other comedies I try to watch are Big Bang Theory & How I Met Your Mother. Waiting for Rules of Engagement to return (not sure if it will?)

Dramas? I gave up on The Closer & Saving Grace, I lost track last summer, was just too busy. I will try to watch Damages when it returns. Still watch Supernatural & Grey's and Brothers & Sisters faithfully. Medium & Ghost Whisperer if I happen to catch them. Love the new show Mercy too.

Reality shows. Biggest Loser, Amazing Race & Idol on network TV. Project Runway (new season starts soon - woohoo!), Launch My Line & Top Chef on cable. I missed the first Worst Cook in America, but I'm going to try to catch the rerun & see if it's any good.

Silly cable shows (don't know what else to call them): Pawn Stars. I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant. Deliver Me (LOVE this show.) My First Place. House Hunters. Hoarders (so sad. so gross.) Renovation Realities. Daily Show, Colbert & Chelsea Lately when I happen to catch them, which is not often enough.

Have to say that I used to love the Girls Next Door - guilty pleasure. No idea why I liked it but I did. Well, I saw 1 ep. with the new chicks - awful. I won't watch it again. They're really boring.

Seriously? How do you have time to watch all this, go to work, clean the house, and feed the baby? LMAO!
I wish I had time to keep up with a show.

Jersey Shore. Samantha is an MTV whore, so she left it on one day, and I somehow got sucked into the first episode. Then the second.... ugh! Heh... not too sure what to think. I know I really hate that Mike dude, and the girl with the big poof on her head all the time is a dumbass. I can't stand her either.

[sara1998]

Now that I'm done quoting everyone....

Honestly, I don't watch much TV at all. I usually just somewhat watch whatever the girls are watching. If I'm here alone, I shut it off. There are I few things I watch when I do watch though. I've always loved Grays... been my show since the first season. I'm a whore for Family Guy. Giggidy. I like MythBusters.... and now I'm drawing a blank.... uh.... If I think of anymore, I'll post. haha!

[Hawkeye]

Its Always Sunny in Philapdelphia- Funniest show of all time
House
NCIS
Lost
Dexter- CANT believe that finale
South Park
Family Guy
Rescue Me
Psych

I absolutely love "The West Wing." They've been showing reruns of that on the Bravo network and I absolutely love it; I feel it's one of the best shows ever on television. It's very "real" but entertaining at the same time, and I love the way it makes me think. A lot of the time one of the characters will say something and there's like, other stuff going on in between the lines and I'm like, "HUH!? " and then I have to really think about what just went down; and I really like the way that makes me think - trying to figure out the "puzzle" of what was just said, or the reasons why somebody did something. Also, many people feel it's a "liberally biased" show but I don't agree with that - - Essentially, from one point of view, it's the "bio" of a failed administration - so I like the way it makes me think about the "issues," too. Plus the acting and cinemetography are often fantastic. For me it's right up there with The X-Files, ER, The Cosby Show or any other of my all-time favorites.

Oh lord, I got addicted to this show about 5 years ago, but haven't seen it in a long time. It got to be a bit predictable - on practically every episode, the first time they interviewed the addict's parents, you knew immediately why the addict was so messed up. Immediately.

I think I've watched more TV in the last 6 months than I have in the last 6 years. I've gotten into the Biggest Loser (I'm not sure I care for any of the participants on the new season - I thought Danny & Rudy from last season were super hot after they lost all the weight), although I have mixed feelings about it. Glee is brilliant, and so is Modern Family. My bf and his mom like Bones, but I've gotten sick of it. I can't watch those murder shows anymore.

I also love Food Network - I especially enjoy those cake challenges with that nasty Australian (or whatever she is) woman who never seems to like any of the contestants. And of course my beloved Paula Deen.

I'm watching more network TV now that I have an HDTV, and I refuse to pay Comcast more money for an HD box. Since I think sports has the greatest benefit of HDTV, I can live with network NFL games, and local network weekend MLB in HD. I also have to thank Netflix instant streaming for finally catching up to "Heroes", and all of "Jericho". I didn't think I'd like "Heroes", then I found myself watching 10 hours of episodes back to back on a lazy Sunday.

Drama:
Heroes
House
Fringe
Burn Notice
White Collar
Mad Men
Breaking Bad
Royal Pains
Rescue Me
Nip/Tuck (it's like watching a train wreck the last three seasons, but I need to see it end)
Damages
Sons of Anarchy
Dexter (per Youtube)
Ashes to Ashes (UK)

Comedies:
Curb Your Enthusiasm (per DVD)
Scrubs
Better off Ted
Two and A Half Men (a guilty pleasure, it's not "Fawlty Towers" , or even "MASH", yet I can't help it.)
South Park
Fox Sunday's animation block
Top Gear (UK), it's a car show that makes you laugh


Reality:

Pawn Stars
BBQ Pitmasters (one of the weekly subjects has a restaurant not far from my parents) It's good bbq!
Anthony Bordain's No Reservations
Man vs. Food
Steven Segal : Lawman (guilty pleasure)

[Tango]

I watch:
Criminal Minds-weekly
CSI NY usually
CSI (Vegas) sometimes
NCIS sometimes
House-usually
CNN-almost always on as background
local news/sports

I often record tv shows to bypass the commercials.

[Miss Vicky]

Recent/Current shows I watch:

The Big Bang Theory
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
Burn Notice
Cake Boss
Dirty Jobs

I got season 3 of Bones for Christmas (not sure why I was given the third season, when I've never watched the show, but anyway) and am quite liking what I've seen so far.

I used to watch House and Grey's Anatomy, but gave up on both shows. House I quit watching because I never seem to get home in time to catch it, and it conflicts with one of my other shows. Grey's I stopped watching because it just got too damn stupid.
