Stopping watching TV has done wonders for me. Sorta.

I stay away from the reality crap, and I watch a lot of Boomerang and other cartoons. The majority of actual TV for me is watching my sports teams. That and sitcoms like Cheers, Raymond, and lots of others.

I say the same as Chupperson. Though I do watch select shows... actually, Hell's Kitchen is really the only select show right now, because it's an honest skill contest in which no vote for the worst website can stop the best man or woman from winning, I like food, and Chef Ramsay is pretty awesome despite the swear stream. True, American Idol being called a popularity contest is really a "Thank you, Captain Obvious" statement, but after the auditions the show is legitimate Dukar. Other shows are uninteresting, annoying and otherwise not worth my time... and don't get me started on commercials (one exception, the old BLOW'D UP E-Trade commercial).
Unfortunately I don't have a quote to rerail and or underail (neither seem to be real words) the topic. Sorry.

Whenever the TV is on, the only thing that's ever really on is Boomerang. I don't watch TV anywhere near as much as I used to. Now all I have to do is figure a way to not spend as much time on here anymore.

I wish I still got Boomerang. :(

I just download the shows I do want to see.

I don't watch a lot of TV anymore either, except for only one show, South Park. I used to watch a lot of The Simpsons recently before they started rerunning the really old episodes, which I did not think were at all funny.

the really old episodes

Season 1? If so, I agree.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

I like most of the old episodes. I practically grew up with The Simpsons, and I really wanna see the movie when it comes out.

I'm stating the obvious, but this thread has gone off its monorail.

I know for a fact this one isn't old enough to be classic yet, but I thought it was pretty hilarious..

Me and Mario, we're tight. We're like this. We go bowling on Fridays.

It doesn't have to be old to be classic. About the only requirement is that it has to be funny.

I only have one channel over here and it's not too great. I'll watch America's Funniest Home Videos if I happen to catch it and I only watch National Bingo Night for the sake of spending some time with my parents. Rather sad really.

On the plus side, that's what DVD box sets are for. *hugs Simpsons and Mario Bros. Super Show*

I like some reality shows (read: Amazing Race). I also like most things on Fox, Comedy Central and the Discovery channel. Most everything else on TV sucks.

I don't really watch tv. Just really old, but good movies. I'm the Black-and white shows type. I love TVLAND and sometimes i watch comedy central for the stand-up comedy acts when bored. ::)

But I agree, most television shows are not worth it.
