That's about it for me...I do put on the "Show Tunes" channel quite frequently...no picture...no commercials...all show tunes, all the time! My family mocks me for this...
Bah! Buncha rule-breakers!!! /point Ginya, OI812 and Sojo!
LOL, and don't feel bad, Blackbird - I watched a couple episodes of Joe Millionaire myself... but he just totally ruined it for me, lol. I wasn't at all interested in him or any of the women... and I hated that pretty much all the women looked like complete gold-diggers. I know Fox set it up that way, but it just turned me off completely.
And I love Oprah & Dr. Phil, but they're not on at optimal times for me, so I never get to see them (unless I play hookie!!). I have a VCR, but it's not even set-up - I only have it so I can do work-out tapes in the kitchen, hehe. I hate recording stuff, I end up never watching it later. And I love Animal Planet shows, but sometimes I just can't watch it because the shows make me sad, lol. My husband came downstairs one day and I was bawling because of something that happened on Animal Cops... just breaks my heart.
Glad to see a few more Buffy fans out there... even though it's ending this year, I can't wait to see what Joss has in store for us these last few episodes!
Yeah Ellis! Saturday Night at the Movies with your host Elwy Yost!
I always found that funny that his name rhymed with host -don't ask me why He used to show some great old movies
YES!!! When we briefly had cable we got in Elwy Yost. I LOVED watching the movies he ran......I used to call him "Whole Wheat Toast", and I used to tell my husband that I had a crush on him and wished that he could be more like him!!!!!
My sister met Elwy in a bar several years ago. (not a pick-up bar, a COZY bar) Canada is so small-town. heh heh. She said he was the sweetest old darling. I love his voice.
You know, I recognize pretty much none of the shows you're talking about. I USED to watch .... something "Blues". I forget... a New York cop show. And Barney Miller. The Twilight Zone. Dallas. Faulty Towers. All in the Family. Tommy Hunter. Hymn Sing. Bugs Bunny. Emergency. Hawaii Five-0. Get Smart. M.A.S.H. The Partridge Family. The Brady Bunch. Happy Days.
You know, I figure it's been about 20 years since I watched TV...
Oh wait a minute!! I DO love Pengu and Fireman Sam!
I don't watch much TV. When I used to have cable my cat loved "Big Cat Diary" on Animal Planet. He just loved seeing his wild brothers. I still watch the silly mindless Fox cartoons like Simpsons and King of the Hill and I love Malcolm in the Middle. I used to wathc the HBO shows like 6 feet under and Sex in the City. I prefer mindless TV that is met to be funny. I don't like dramas like ER or the whole reality fad. I'm trying to think what I miss about cable, but you know, I don't!
That's Hill Street Blues, Ellis. I used to love that show too and watched it faithfully.
You know, it's funny, a lot of people love that Sex in the City Show and I just hate it I have tried to watch it 2 or 3 times now and I just can't. I don't know what it is about that show but I just don't find it that funny or entertaining, and I find the characters annoying, especially Sarah Jessica Parker's character.
I wish we could get 6 Feet Under on regular cable here - it sounds really good.
Hill Street Blues! That's it, Mauvais! Ah, a trip down memory lane with the TV...
Wait a minute... something is coming back to me...
I think this was just last year, so someone should know what I'm talking about. I was up in our bedroom one evening, and for some reason I flipped on the TV. There was this show on about lawyers... I can't remember the name. (go figure) Not a comedy... a serious thingy. There were about three lawyers... two men and a woman. One of the men is older. Slight, light receding hair. (I've actually seen him act at a theatre in Ottawa)
Anyhow, I was totally taken with it, and to my delight, there were TWO shows of it back-to-back.
Okay, so what the heck is it called?
It may have been total trash, but ****... when you never watch TV, it's all total eye candy. heh heh.
I used to love watching Oprah but now she is on mostly when the kids are home so I let them watch Arthur instead...My fave show is Lonely Planet (I want it to be me with the backpack having cool adventures, except for the bungee jumping), and I used to love Iron Chef but am a little tired of it these days. I also like Alton Brown on Good Eats, and the Food Network in general when there is nothing else on.
I used to have to watch stuff like Barney (though my dear daughters deny it! well, I wasn't watching for ME, that's for sure!) so life is much better now round the TV!
My mom and I used to love Masterpiece Theatre and...I like a lot of English stuff like French & Saunders, early Ab Fab, Keeping Up Appearances, Monty Python sometimes, Mr. Bean.
But now I am too tired for TV and am off to bed! Talk to you later,
He used to show some great old movies 
This was fun and I had to put my two cents in..
Ah, a trip down memory lane with the TV...
