What are you watching these days on TV?

Well, for the last three weeks (June 12-July 4), I was watching nothing but Euro 2004 , the European Soccer Championships. We bought the whole tournament on pay-per-view, recorded it during the day, then invited all our friends round to watch the games each night.

Six Feet Under - We've finally caught up with the new series. (I love it - but am a bit disappointed so far. Some storylines seem so "unrealistic" - if SFU could be considered realistic at all.)

And - we just started watching Angels in America on HBO on demand. Anyone see this before?

Still record the Daily Show and some other favorites on BBC America.

i hate to admit it but i watch way too many of those bad vh1 shows like "awesomely bad hair." i just can't get enough! i also like pimp my ride (the coolest show ever) and i watch cnn religously to see what's going on with the campaign stuff. i've been glued to the tv since we got back from italy, where i detoxed off the boob tube.

during the non-summer months l like scrubs and then some cooking shows and antiques road show.

in my house we mostly watch sponge bob. but my special indulgence is what not to wear...

i used to be completely addicted to the home makeover shows but i got burned out on them. now i just wait for friday nights to see what stacey is wearing (i think i get more ideas from her outfits than from the people they're making over).

i love survivor, but the next season only starts in september.

for now i dont watch much though. its sort of nice. i do watch I Love Lucy sometimes when I'm bored during the day, and occasionally trading spaces, which i am getting sort of sick of.

i'm also watching outback jack, which i find mildly entertaining ("I hate this outback. Somebody should burn it down and build a mall.").

I watch Gilmore Girls with my mom a lot. And we've been watching "Last Comic Standing" pretty religiously.
I like watching the Bravo shows (Queer Eye, The Salon or Shears or whatever it's called---the owner of a hair salon is a snotty jerk and flips out at people, which is entertaining) and TLC shows, like What Not to Wear.
And the "I Love the ____" shows on VH1 never fail to entertain me. (I am easily amused, however.)

I'm a big Nip/Tuck fan too (yay, new episode tonight!). I keep trying to get my husband to watch it with me, but so far to no avail. It's such a slick, sexy show - what's not to like?

I don't have HBO or Showtime, so I've missed all the series on those channels - though a couple years ago we stayed at a hotel with HBO and caught a Six Feet Under marathon, which was pretty cool. I have absolutely no interest in watching any version of Sex & The City.

And of course, as always - ALL LAW & ORDER, ALL THE TIME!

I went a year and a half, maybe more, without cable television. Also, we were too lazy/whatever to go out and buy an antenna, so I had no cable.

Now, I find that I've been watching t.v. way too much.

I really enjoy that new show Arrested Development (Sunday is my favorite night for Fox television), but more importantly, I am CONSUMED by the Simple Life.

This is so embarrassing. It really is. What's worse is that I hate most reality t.v., and I'm all against people being obsessively materialistic. All of a sudden, I find myself making an AIM buddy icon of Nicole Richie in a photo program and humming the theme song.

I wonder if I'm doomed.

Guinness - BLOW OUT. i kind of really liked that show, and now it's gone - for good, i think - it received poor ratings and they only taped 6 shows.

as a side note, i saw jonathan antin interviewed on da ali g show (anyone watch it? it's on HBO, they had a marathon last friday - the guy dresses up as one of three over the top characters, and proceeds to conduct interviews with celebrities, politicians, etc). anyway, it was really funny... antin came off looking like even more of an ass than usual.

I try not to miss new episodes of While You Were Out and What Not to Wear. These are my TV priorities...I'll admit, I've been trying to catch new episodes of The Real World as well. If I'm watching TV outside of these shows it means that I'm probably very bored.
