I was a huge couch potato in the early 90s. By 2007, I was only watching TV once every week or 2, plus while I cooked.
Even though the logic is bullshitty, I like to cook to Law & Order. Like Dark Shadows in the 80s, it's a show you watch. You don;t know why you watch it or why you like it, but you can't look away.
I like weird shit. Marries with Chilren, BBC World News, Cash in the Attic, Dr. G Medical Examiner, Unsolved History, MythBusters, Pen & Teller's Bullshit, The Colbert Report, Daily Show, Tosh.0, Web Soup, The Soup, Real Time with Bill Maher, Tracy Ulman's State of the Union, & random educational stuff on History Channel/Biography Channel/Discovery Science/National Geographic.
I resent TV today. There's nill on compared to the 90s, & it's all shit. Some channels have even flushed themselves down a toilet (MTV, VH1, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, TLC). & the comedies on BBC America aren't nearly as funny as they used to be. Sometimes I want to watch stuff like Dragnet & MacGuyver, but I can't count on TV Land to be broadcasting whatever bit of nostolgia I'm in the mood for.
& the commercials....they've become linger & intelligence-insulting.
I occasionally watch FEAR On Demand if anything good is on.
