What is your "Go to" channel?

[zohmbee]

TLC, sadly. There's usually an episode of Cake Boss on three or four times during the week, so that kills my boredom. >_>

 

[Cpu46]

The Discovery Channel.
I always go there first.
It's just entertaining so often. Even though it's filled with Cash Cab on weekdays...that sucks.
Honestly, if nothing is on, or if something else is on, I end up staying with Discovery.

Same with me, love all the shows on that channel. My second channel is the History channel. I think I learned more by watching TV then i did going to school.

*Neonbob has a whale tied to a chair*

Neonbob: If you just tell me where the whale base is I'll let you go.
Whale: BROOOOOOH!!
NB: Don't try to play games with me whale! Now tell me where the base is or suffer the consequences!
W: ARRRBOOORRRH!!
NB: Your courage is admirable my aquatic friend, but it won't save you! Now talk damn you!

*Pistol whips whale*

W: MMOOOORRR!!
NB: Looks like I'll have to use more...drastic measures.

*NB gets out electric jumper cables*

W: BLLLORRGGH!!
NB: You brought this on yourself!! MUWHAHAHA!!

JESUS! I laughed myself to much I almost pissed!

I'm glad that I can induce involuntary unrination!

[small]Damn, your post count is getting high.[/small]

 

[JWAN]

History/Discovery

except the history channel is caught up in hysterics about Nostradamus, fucking nostradamus ruining a good tv channel

 

[ObsessiveSketch]

Cartoon Network (for Adult Swim)
Comedy Central
ESPN (NCAA)

if those 3 fail me, I'll hit up TBS and Sci Fi

 

[Tattaglia]

I live in New Zealand, so I suppose a lot of my channels are unheard of, but it has to be the Documentary Channel (original name, eh?). I've learnt a lot of random crap from that. Or maybe a channel that shows completely foreign and often pointless programming, but has Al Jazeera which is often interesting - local news networks such as One News or 3 News (like I said, we're awesome at originality) are shit at reporting news in other parts of the world. At least not in detail; often it's "OMG RUSSIAN TERRORISTS" for a day then "OMG TIGER WOODS" for a week.

Journalism at its finest!

History/Discovery

Urgh, I completely understand. The "History" Channel is now filled to the brim with conspiracy theories and endless repeats of WWII documentaries.

Im a military history major and that still bugs the hell out of me.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

if there's nothing on Comedy Central, I go to History Channel; If nothing is on there, I got to NHK World which is basically the Japan channel

 

[T3h Merc]

1. USA (Half of the Day!
2. Comedy Central (Half of the Day!)
3. Adult Swim (All night!)
4. TBS (only when there's a marathon of something good.)
5. TNT (rare but good)

I <3 Law and Order SVU so USA and TNT is almost exclusively.

 

[likalaruku]

5 years ago: Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, BBC America, Comedy Central, Nick At Night.

Now: Discovery ID, Discovery Science, Discovery Health, Animal Planet, Science Channel, & whatever channel happens to be playing back-to-back episodes of Law & Order.

 

[fgdfgdgd]

Discovery channel...i'll turn it on and before i know it ive been watching an ant eater for three hours

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkZ5_pWcYwU ... it hits home a bit

 

[demoman_chaos]

When I watch TV, it is either Spike, History, Comedy Central, or Discovery. Learning or laughing.
Though I almost never watch TV anymore. Between youtube and video games, TV just seems pointless most of the time.

 

[LogicNProportion]

Comedy Central, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon (to check if Spongebob is on and it ALWAYS is), and the Military Channel.

I would say the onDemand stuff, but that's cheating.

 

[GrandAm]

Comedy Central, Sci-Fi...

When they fail, I go to Netflix streaming

 

[Violence]

History for UFOs OMG2012 or Nat Geo for space and deep sea stuff. And Taboo!
Typically I just use television for background noise when I'm in the kitchen, though.
It's ironic that the sound of people eating food is unappetizing ;[

 

[Bored Tomatoe]

Comedy Central... There's pretty much always something remotely entertaining on...

 

[caledonia]

Dave. Probably because they tend to run Top Gear most of the time.

Yep...

Or Discovery/History channel

Don't have one - I actually disconnected my cable a year or so ago. We just watch shit online (or DVDs), piped to the bigscreen mounted over our laptops via an HDMI connection through the wall from our media server.

Amazingly enough, this approach has saved us around $600 this year alone (given what cable costs out here), after all the equipment. And we don't have to watch commercials (save for the 40 second things on NBC and FOX Media webpages, but it isn't five minutes long). It's pretty kickass.
