Like college football - Dislike pro football

Watched a marathon of one of the "Housewives" reality shows and was mesmerized but forget we have Bravo

Really like Jeopardy but don't care for Wheel of Fortune

Love HGTV, CNN, MSNBC and C-SPAN

Like GMA and Today

Like The View and can't wait to see The Chew

Like All My Children and One Life to Live but both are being cancelled

Like about everything on Food Network

I like Letterman, too, but I'm rarely awake for it

I really listen to TV more than watch it.

New thoughts on TV Gardening shows
Q

In this economy I think many folks will be staying home more and will look to ways to save on food. Vegetable plantings is a great way to go. I learned many of my techniques simply watching shows like Gardening Naturally (thanks for helping me recall the name of that show Marg). In that show I learned more about proper composting, the use of manure, seaweed of all things, and other stuff. Sure it certainly may not appeal to all audience, but it was very imformative. Too bad we no longer have such shows. The new Victory Garden - well it's simply rehashed segments with a new host - Jamie Durie, a well known garden designer/landscaper from Australia. The show focuses mainly on designing on a grand scale - although it does emphasis green techniques, water conservation, etc.. It does have a small segment with Kip as the actual gardener and Chef Michel cooking the organic way. However it just doesn't have that 'Organic feel' to it. It seemed too Hollywood or too New Age. In my opinion -- good eye candy, not much on substance. There is good show on PBS - called Cultivating Life. While it is short, it does have everything, from building trellis, to planting, to cooking. It's good enough - although not close enough to the shows of the past. I've pretty much given up on watching shows on TV. There's hope however, and it exist online. Look at such places such as Youtube and someone is most certainly going to upload a specific gardening technique. Ianna

Mystery! is my favorite, but isn't on as regularly as it used to be-alas. I also like NCIS, the original Law and Order (even with all the cast changes-really like the new Prosecutor), and Law and Order Criminal Intent. I like The Closer, but can never remember when it's on and there are a lot of 10 pm shows I would probably like, but I go to bed early (school starts early, don'tchaknow). House Hunters and HH International are fun, too. We actually know some people who were on House Hunters. Such a disappointment-they had already bought their house and the other two houses were just filmed for the show. Not sure if they are all like that, but this one was not entirely honest. Too bad.

Good job Karen! I tried to search for the very first segment, but it must be bumped off the site now. So this is only the story of Gomer and Margie, which have had quite the adventures of their own.

If anyone reads this, a show called Mildred Pierce won a lot of awards the other nite. It looks like it has a large well-known cast, and is on HBO. Hubby thought it looked really good, has anyone watched it?

Likes:
Big Bang Theory, Deadliest Catch, Supernatural, the BK (Before Kutch) 2 1/2 Men, South Park, Family Guy, Simpsons, Cleveland, etc
Most classic sitcoms like Green Acres, Married w/Children, Beverly Hillbillies, etc.
Gordon Ramsay shows - Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares and MasterChef (but would like it more if they got rid of "Joe")
Criminal Minds, Diners, Drive-ins & Dives, Alton Brown, 2 Fat Ladies, Lidia's Family Table but not her newer shows. CI shows (America's Test Kitchen, Cook's Country, etc) New Scandinavian Cooking New Yankee Workshop, Hometime and many of the basic home improvement shows that aren't trying to be "reality show" contenders.
Shows like Automobiles, Modern Marvels, Ask This Old House, History Detectives, Many (but not all) Britcoms.
Documentaries about shipwrecks (Titanic, Lusitania, Andrea Doria, Fitzgerald, etc). Good documentaries on history that aren't trying to push an agenda.
Some football, Australian Rules Football, some soccer.
Jimmy Kimmel, Conan O'Brien and David Letterman is OK too (but Paul Schaeffer isn't)
There's more, but that's enough for now.

Dislike:
Leno & Fallon. Most "reality" shows, any showoff shows like any of the dancing shows, American Idol, etc. Most all game shows these days.
There's more, but that's enough for now.

Can't stand:
Martha Stewart, Paula Deen, Neelys, golf, tennis, Duggars, Octo and other exploiters. Most all of the "talk" (over each other) shows.
There's more, but that's enough for now.

Dislike most of the reality shows like Housewives, Jersey Shores, what HGTV has become and what Food Network seems to be becoming as well, American Idol. It makes me sad because I used to love HGTV, Food and Idol. Really, really dislike Dr. Phil and that type of show.

I have not had television in over a month. I would watch anything at this point LOL. Please, please let the cable guy show up tonight (actually I miss internet way more than television). Mad Men is my only must-see show and that's been on hiatus forever. Otherwise I just like to flip around and see if anything catches my eye.

Looks like most of you have cable or satellite. I just have antenna and then it isn't the greatest since they changed things. I seldom watch television during the day, maybe an hour and a half.
