The only series I try to watch regularly are Heroes and Weeds. Heroes, imo, has been going downhill since season one. They've added the character played by Madeline Zima this season though and that seems somewhat promising. If it goes nowhere or gets boring Heroes may fall off my try to watch list. I watch 45 minutes to an hour of local news before work and again after I get back to the house. I watch the Disney Channel quite a bit just cuz I'm quite the perv :oops:

I try and watch "The Factor" pretty much nightly, occasionally Hannity and/or Glenn Beck. Once or twice a week I may watch a little "Hardball", on weekends a couple of hours of Fox and Friends as well as a local political show called "Flashpoint".

I try to catch every Cubs game I can. I also try to catch the OU football games. I'm afraid I might be becoming a fan by osmosis or some crap like that. Right now I'm working about a block off campus and I will say this - A LOT of hot chicks go to OU.

Overall though, you would be more likely to catch me watching the Discovery Channel or the History Channel or Animal Planet than anything else.

I can't even fathom trying to keep to a viewing schedule anymore, of course that's partly because a lot of the good stuff winds up having scheduling conflicts with La Liga games and I'd rather watch football any day. Mostly I dl stuff either half way through or at the end of the season so I can watch them at my leisure.

If I got the military channel, I'd be glued to it.

As it is now, I really don't watch TV at all. I usually just catch it on Hulu after it airs anyways.

Cougar Town? That sounds like something one encounters on a porn channel ^_^

I get military channel Atla, its actually not as awesome as youd imagine.

As for Cougartown, the answer is no.

I grew up with the military channel. Rather, I grew up with American military sanctioned English-speaking television. We only got one English channel in Germany. Can't remember now what they called it.

Monday: Nada, usually reruns on tnt until the Closer comes back.
Tuesday: NCIS, followed by Warehouse 13.
Wednesday: Criminal Minds, my latest addiction
Thursday: CSI, if I remember in time
Friday: Used to be Eureka, but now it will be Stargate:Universe, followed by Sanctuary

Saturday and Sunday are anything-goes nights, no set schedules.

The latest one to hit the airwaves over here is 'Flash Forward' so I have a watch of that on Wednesdays. 'Waking the Dead' has just finished so I need something to fill that hole. 'Criminal Minds' is a good watch but I am waiting for the new series to start. I used to watch 'Without a Trace' but since going to freeview cannot watch it. The 'Mentalist' was great, cannot wait for the next series. Other than that I am content with reruns of CSI, any Star Trek series, X-Files. Channel Five had a good run of Seagal and Van Damme films, blood and nonsense nothing quite like it.
