Something non-political, not “climate changey”, for discussion.
For me, there are few shows I watch. There are none on network TV, which includes ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, and the CW, other than sports like golf, football, baseball, and hockey. The last show I watched regularly was Stephen King’s Under The Dome, which turned into a horrible mess. I will not watch the second season. Seriously, how did all the inner city ruffians end up in a very rural Maine town? Makes zero sense.
I had watched Lost and Fringe. There’s nothing else that holds my attention. I find most shows to be boring, silly (and not in a good way), preachy, foolish, and cringe inducing. I find all the shows to be lame.
I watch Continuum, Haven, and Defiance on the SciFi channel. Excellent shows.
And then there’s USA Network, which has the best show on TV, Suits. Though the number of episodes can be short. Seriously, they came back with 6, and now we have to wait till June. Of course, that seems to be the pattern for most shows.
USA also has Graceland. Looking forward to its return. I’ll be interested to see what USA comes out with to replace Psych and Burn Notice.
I love the stuff on all the nature and science channels. Shows I watch on a consistent basis are Animal Planet’s Tanked and Treehouse Masters. I’ll watch How The Universe Works, The Universe, and other similar programs. Aerial America on the Smithsonian Channel is an awesome program. If you’ve never seen it, they use helicopters and planes to fly over the landscape of the states, providing a birds-eye view along with some history and facts. Though the NY edition was pretty lame. Too much time spent on NYC. I think we have a good idea what it looks like. Little time spent on the rest of a big, and beautiful, state.
A couple that have recently caught my attention are Buying Alaska, Buying The Bayou, and Buying Hawaii on Destination America. I find it fascinating to see the properties and landscapes. Though I do think some of the programs are ginned up to create excitement. If I had certain requirements and the real estate agent was showing me some of the homes I’d fire him/her. Seeing things like electrified wire stretched around homes to ward off bears. Expensive homes in Hawaii with no “city water/power”. Space for growing food in Hawaii is extremely important, due to costs being around double what they are on the mainland. Living in the middle of nowhere. It’s pretty cool.
Those are the only things I watch on a constant basis. Movies, sports, and news, of course. What do you watch? Any good programs?
