If you could only watch broadcast television, what would you watch?
And how many hours of television do you watch per week, either broadcast, cable or satellite? I think I'm watching far too much lately.
The only programs I enjoy are all broadcast, not cable or satellite. I watch these programs
6:00 pm local news Mon-Sun
6:30 pm national/world news Mon-Sun
"Prison Break"
"24"
"Lost"
"The original CSI"
"Cold Case"
"Ghostwhisperer"
and my one "guilty pleasure": "Las Vegas"
plus one college football game and one pro game per weekend during football season, the only sport I watch.
Works out to about 20 hours per week during football season, & 14 hours otherwise.
The only "musts" for me are the two evening newscasts, plus "Lost" & "CSI," so I could cut it to to 9 hours per week (15 during football season). But I could also cut the news shows to every other evening. And then choose either one college game or one pro game every other weekend during football season. How many people here have had success cutting down or eliminating "television addiction?

Re: If you could only watch broadcast television, what would you watch?
I uh, don't watch TV, other than F1 Racing.
Re: If you could only watch broadcast television, what would you watch?
None. I don't even have a TV. I liked "Buffy," and I like "King of the Hill," but not enough to own a TV and watch it on a regular basis. I can watch the occasional DVD on my computer, but overall I'm happier with no TV in the house.

Re: If you could only watch broadcast television, what would you watch?
I'm a reality TV junkie! My schedule, when I can keep to it, is this:
Every night: It Takes a Thief and Cash Cab (they're on while I cook dinner)
Sunday: Sopranos and Surreal Life
Monday: Apprentice
Tuesday: American Idol and Big Love
Wednesday: America's Next Top Model, American Idol, Unanimous
When there's a Rangers game on, I use my PIP to keep an eye on the game.
When I can't see them, I tivo the shows for later.
Re: If you could only watch broadcast television, what would you watch?
Um, I'll just watch Law and Order...on the off-chance that I get the opportunity, the only other shows I watch are the Forensics shows on Court TV.
I'm not that into TV at all.
Re: If you could only watch broadcast television, what would you watch?
I don't watch much TV (Unless you count PBS.. Oy vey.)
I don't have cable anymore, so I have gotten used to watching network TV anyway, when I'm in the mood for it.
However, there are a few shows that I never miss:
CSI
Wife Swap
Medium
Las Vegas
American Idol
That's about it.
Re: If you could only watch broadcast television, what would you watch?
hmm well i used to watch tv alot but not so much anymore.
but some of my favorite shows when i do watch are:
family guy
wife swap/trading spouses
american idol
the OC
House
Real World
Cold Case Files
but if the Pistons are playing...i do not miss a game. I'm fanatical about them.
Re: If you could only watch broadcast television, what would you watch?
There is only two things I watch on a regular basis - The History Channel and ESPN.
I have never seen a single episode of 24, American Idol, or Desperate Housewives.
I work almost always at night, so I dont even have thr opportunity to watch anything. When I am off, I never watch the major television channels.
Re: If you could only watch broadcast television, what would you watch?
I personally love:
Dramas
Prison Break (did anyone see last Monday's episode-tear jerker)
CSI-Las Vegas (they can keep the other 2)
Cold Case
Bones
Criminal Minds (really hot)
Law and Order (all of them)
Reality TV
Wife Swap
Nanny 911 - (bad ass kids I just want to whop)
Daytime TV
Judge Mathis
Judge Judy
Judge Joe Brown
Divorce Court (Judge Mabelean)
Young and the Restless
Bold & Beautiful
Guiding Light
As the World Turns
I dont get to watch these shows NEARLY as much as I'd like to. But whenever I get a chance, I'm all over it. ;)

God, tv isn't worth it without Cartoon Network.

I used to watch PBS, but finally tired of the 30 minutes of programming combined with the 23.5 hours of sitting up on its hind legs and begging. Particularly annoying if they had a really good concert. Anyway, at least that's what it seemed like. But I do have rare times now when I'll watch either "Frontline" or "Nova," depending upon the topic.
Re: If you could only watch broadcast television, what would you watch?
Ugh! I hate the Pledge Drives too! There was something I was watching one night.. Really interesting, and they kept breaking away begging for money.
NOVA is a favorite of mine. I try not to miss it. The concerts are the best, though, aren't they?
