I haven't seen a formal thread for this, so here's one. What TV shows do you currently watch, if any?
I only spend about three hours or so in front of the TV per week, but since computers are more the go these days, we'll count TV shows you stream online too. Since I live in Australia, though, first, internet sucks. Second, the stuff you see on free-to-air that comes from other countries is about half a year behind, and we get inundated with repeats.
Anyway, the shows I watch are:
1) Top Gear (BBC UK). With each season, the iconic British hoons go through even more dangerous, expensive stunts and challenges to the point that this really isn't a motoring show anymore, it's about Clarkson, Hammond and May and the crazy **** they do in motor cars. I just saw the Bolivia special, and it actually honestly made me think that buying a crap bucket of bolts and attempting to drive it through the South America rainforest, mountain passes and desert might make for a dead adventure, as long as I didn't die from drowning, dehydration, falling five-hundred meters off the world's most dangerous highway, or extreme altitude sickness. Which I probably would, so no, it's not a good idea.
2) Burn Notice- my other guilty blokey bloke indulgence. Guns, cars, fights, big explosions, dangerous criminals and hot swimsuits sum it up. Oh, and while the formula harkens back to the "guy can solve any problem with a little help of his sidekicks" of old, there's a certain Grand Theft Auto feel to the plot structure. Clever marketing.
3) So You Think You Can Dance (America). Which isn't currently on but when it is, I'll be watching! There's an Australian version but seriously, the American show is better. And really, the guys on this show are phenomenally good. Unbelievably good.
4) Iron Chef (Japan). All the episodes seem to have been filmed over ten years ago! Sometimes genius, sometimes madness unfolds in the kitchen all at the behest of a crazy guy who wears crazy outfits and makes crazy faces. But the real drawcard are the guests brought in to challenge the legendary Iron Chefs, all of them among, if not the world's best. The formula of themed cook-offs under pressure has been emulated the world around, but nothing so far has topped this example. (If you're a foodie/aspiring gastronomist, you might want to also check out Heston's Feasts, because Heston Blumenthal is also a mad genius.)
5) Live coverage of the F1 series. Because unlike the period following Senna's death until Schumacher's retirement, there are eight drivers who could seriously contend for the title, which makes every race actually exciting.
I believe he meant "Fuel TV". They play a bunch of programs related to action sports, such as surfing, snowboarding, BMX, rally cars, and skateboarding. I used to get it, but when the Cable switched, they took it off. Now I can only get it with the sports package, which you have to pay extra for. It's got some pretty neat programs, although I wouldn't watch it as often as MLB Network.
I pretty much watch anything...(I'm kind of a tv/ game/ computer junkie lol). Anyway: Family Guy, Spongebob, American Dad, King of the Hill, A Haunting (ghost shows in general), Pawn Stars (storage wars, american pickers, all those shows on the history channel are pretty much the same idea), Regular show, the news (mostly for the weather, because the actual news stories tend to be depressing), Robot Chicken, The Colony (when it's on), Dilbert (Hulu), etc. so forth bla bla bla
Well... King Of The Hill, American Dad, Family Guy, Robot Chicken, Aqua Teen Hunger Force/Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1, Squidbillies, What's New Scooby Doo, Looney Tunes(Original), The Looney Tunes Show, The Garfield Show, Sidekick, Adventure Time, Mad, Regular Show, 2 Stupid Dogs, Growing pains(About once a week or so), Pokemon, SWAT Kats, Childrens Hospital, and uh... well, I believe there's more but I'm geting kinda tired of posting the name of the shows I watch...
I watch shows mostly from "Universal Channel" (I don't know if it actually exists on American Television, but...) such as:
--> House, MD --> Forensic Files --> Law & Order (reprising) --> Law & Order: LA --> Law & Order: SVU --> The Good Wife --> Brothers and Sisters (is not that boring, y'know?) --> Psych --> Rookie Blue --> Shattered
And other shows like: --> Mythbusters --> Family Guy \\ --> The Cleveland Show / I dislike American Dad, by the way. --> Time Warp --> The Simpsons --> Destroyed in Seconds --> Woody Woodpecker (lulz)

That's the one and only thing that I watch nowadays... As for everything else TV-related, I just don't watch TV anymore. Probably because my Xbox 360 and computer take up most of my free time.
