1 American TV isn't entirely a wasteland.  House is worth watching, and I'm enjoying Journeyman so far.  And then there's...  Um.

2 Yeah, me too. Smallville and Battlestar Galactica are about all I watch. (House MD, too, when I remember it, which I haven't so far this season.) And Dr. Who when it's not in reruns, but that shouldn't be effected by the strike anyway.

And it was that way the last time they went on strike, too. When it comes to TV, Sturgeon was an optimist.

3 I don't actually have a TV, but if I did, its House, Heroes, and reruns of Law and Order.  IOW, aside from two shows, nothing thats effected by the strike, either.

4 Television?  Television? 

Oh, you mean that broadcast medium they had back before the Internet.  Sheesh, for a minute I was afraid I might have missed something important...

When I still had TV cable and a TV attached to it, the only things I ever watched were the Food network, Discovery network, TLC, and the History channel. I think it's been more than ten years since any of the "big networks" had anything I was interested in seeing -- except maybe the occasional baseball game.

But even that stuff I didn't watch very often -- two or three times per month -- which is why I got rid of the cable. It wasn't worth $40 per month to me.

6 What I've found is that, if there's a series I actually like, it makes more sense to simply buy the season sets as they come out, and watch it that way.  Given they cost no more than 50 bucks generally, and come out pretty promptly after the season is over, it works well for me.

( its almost obligatory for Heroes, I can barely comprehend watching that show at seven day intervals. . . )

My 13 year old son was talking about the serial killers being profiled on a show called "Most Evil" that he was watching the other day.  My wife asked him why he was watching that show, given its grizly content.  He replied that there's never anything interesting on, except on the Discovery Channel or History Channel.

Wish I could figure out exactly what we did with this kid, bottle it, and introduce it into the municipal water supply.

We also never watch live TV, except for the random Food Network or Discovery Channel thing.  One show is set on the DVR.  Otherwise we wait until a series is over, check to see if it's worth watching and actually, you know, tells an interesting story, instead of just being a medium to sell advertising, then watch the DVDs.

8 Do you have a TV at all or do you just rely on your computers for watching things? I find that even if you're not big into broadcast stuff, a TV can be handy.

9 I've got a TV. It's in the closet, collecting dust. I cancelled my cable and closeted the TV in like February and I don't miss it in the slightest.
