Being on a Muppet forum, I don't think I'm alone in saying that I'm a HUGE television junkie. The only shows I watch on a weekly basis are on Thursdays on NBC - My Name is Earl, The Office, Scrubs, 30 Rock, and Andy Barker P.I. When I can, I watch Everybody Hates Chris. And I quite enjoy the television version of This American Life on Showtime.
Other than 30 Rock and American Life (Cuz I don't get cable and I've never heard of it) is my list. Plus TMNT (even though Fast Forward sucks, I still watch it) and Simpsons and Family Guy. Other stuff is on cable, and I can't afford to get all those DVDs.

Current TV? Um....nothing.

If I didn't have to be at stupid work during the day, I'd still be faithfully watching Sesame Street and Mr. Roger's Neighborhood!:big_grin:
And Reading Rainbow and Arthur are pretty awesome!

I also like to catch Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! every now and then when I can. And maybe current sporting events- like basketball games- but not often.

I watch a variety of things- but most of it is on VHS or DVD. And most of that is shows from the 1950s to the 1980s- some from the 1990s and modern times- but much fewer in that category.

Other than The Muppet Show, Muppet Babies, Fraggle Rock (yes, puppet and cartoon), and Dinosaurs (of course!)- some of my favorite shows include...

MacGyver
Quantum Leap
Early Edition (there's one of those few 90s allowances...)
Full House
Family Ties
The Honeymooners
Batman (60s live action)
Wonder Woman (70s live action)
The Flash
Swamp Thing (cartoon and live action)
The Adventures of Superman (50s live action)
Superboy
The Incredible Hulk
The Amazing Spider-Man (70s US live action)
The Greatest American Hero
The A-Team
Knight Rider
G.I. Joe
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the 80s cartoon)
Transformers (the original 80s cartoon)

and myriads of others really....

I don't watch most current stuff....but here's what I've been watching for the past month or so.

-My Quantum Leap DVDs (sure, it was on TV at one point :big_grin: )
-Animaniacs DVDs
-Enterprise (watching it as it airs on Sci-fi.....I prefer Bakula on QL SO much more!)
-Voyager (My favorite Trek. Woo! I just wish Spike didn't have as many commercials)
-And I have a sad addiction to Dancing with the Stars. *sigh*

To be honest- I don't watch much telly. I'd rather listen to music, but the stuff I watch include:

-'The Simpsons'

-'Neighbours' (my guilty pleasure :big_grin:).

-'My Name Is Earl'.

-'Saved By The Bell' (when it *used* to be on channel 7)

-'Family Guy'.

-'Spicks and Specks'.

-'M*A*S*H'.

-'Sesame Street' (when I'm not at school).

I forgot to mention that I'm an avid fan of Adult Swim and love pretty much all of the comedy block. I even love the stuff that's deemed terrible by the vast majority of people. The shows I bolded are ones I own the DVD collections to and/or simply wouldn't miss. (If some of them were still on the air, that is.)

12 oz. Mouse
Aqua Teen Hunger Force
A**y McGee
The Boondocks
The Brak Show
Frisky Dingo
Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law
Home Movies
Metalocalypse
Minoriteam
Moral Orel
Perfect Hair Forever
Robot Chicken
Sealab 2021
Space Ghost Coast to Coast
Stroker and Hoop
Squidbillies
Saul of the Mole Men
Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!
Tom Goes to the Mayor
The Venture Bros.
