What do you like to watch on TV ? I despise network television shows,especially the stupid reality shows . I don't have a lot of time to watch TV as it is but when I do it always seems to be shows like Ice Road Truckers and Worlds Deadliest Catch . Tonight I watched a episode of Modern Marvels about the history of cheese and not too long ago watched one about water pumps. Those are far more interesting that what the "Big Three " have to offer .
Here are some of my other favs. :
- Anything on the Military Channel
- "Mail Call!"
- "How It's Made"
- "Made in America with John Ratzenburger"
- " Dirty Jobs "
- " Extreme Engineering "

I can't get enough Man vs. Wild.

Please don't ruin my show and tell me it's fake or that Survivorman is better.

I don't know "Man Vs. Wild " but "Suvivorman" should be on my list as well . Les is going international this season !!!

Food Network Challenge
Big Love (on HBO)
Scrubs (I watch reruns on Comedy Central)
Daily Show
Colbert Report
House
The Simpsons

Of those, the only one I make sure I watch every week is Big Love on HBO. THe only other thing I watch on TV is sports, mostly baseball. I really don't watch much TV.

I'm bored with all the reality shows... Time for something new... I did see a commercial for a new show with kelsey grammar and Patricia Heaton that looked mildly entertaining... We'll see!

I'm an acquaintance of some of the crabbers on "Deadliest Catch" so that is about my favorite.

I like airplanes of all types so anything about them including "Dogfights".

Reaaally don't like the chopper building shows. I've sat in the back and watched Herr Oberloh solder, pound and roll. Nothing compares.

I still like "Law and Order" and "Seinfeld" reruns. Sometimes I wish Elaine Benes was my girlfriend. She's easy and kinda psycho, too. Two good traits in a girlfriend..

She is my cousin by marriage. Brad Hall from SNL is married to Julia Louis-Dreyfus. My wife and Brad are first cousins. We've never gone bowling.

Do you suppose if I saw her and said, "I know The Elephant, from TubeNet" she would respond? Or stare blankly?

No, I'd want the character Elaine as a girlfriend. Julia seems kind of normal in her interviews...

Do you find most network TV to be just plain boring as much as I do ?
