Examine my tv habits.
Here's the way it is right now. 2 years ago

For some reason my TV viewing is up this year, even though I cancelled my cable last month. I miss some of the programming on the History Channel, Discovery and TLC, but TCM had been removed from the basic lineup some time back, and the History Channel seems to have become less interesting in the past couple of years. I miss Law and Order: Criminal Intent on USA, but I believe the episodes will be repeated on NBC in a few months.

What I’m Watching:

Monday: Chuck (NBC) I think it’s fairly good.

Tuesday: Law and Order:SVU (NBC) I usually like it, but am not very impressed with Mariska Hargitay’s acting.

Wednesday: The Bionic Woman (NBC) I like the idea, but the lead actress is uninspiring.

Wednesday: Life (NBC) I like it very much, although it ignores many consequences of extended wrongful imprisonment – brutalization and personality warping, rather than enlightenment.

Thursday: Smallville (CW) I’m an old Superman geek.

Thursday: Supernatural (CW) It’s usually pretty good.

All of this is in addition to local and national news broadcasts.

Good luck with...

tackling this goal! I’m happy that you are doing it, too. I felt I was in a rut with my tv habits, and wanted to challenge myself to declutter tv shows. I’ve pared it down to almost half of what I started out with.

Pretty reasonable

amount of tv.

I don’t have cable or anything, my personal strategy for keeping my kids off tv. They just don’t like anything on the 4 channels we get in this area!

My personal favorite is the evening news. Other than that, I like…

Thursday: Earl. Gray’s Anatomy. Was addicted to it by my students, who kept telling me that had just learned about disease x while I was teaching them about it!

Friday: Friday Night Lights. This is the world I grew up in. Nuff said.

Not much of a list, now that I look at it!
