I will knock Kansas because for 21 years I've lived right next door to Kansas.

Not to mention:

 

Oh and:

You can always watch reruns of Seinfeld.

[atari 2600]

I also reguarly watch Supergroup, Nova, Live with Regis & Kelly, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Simpsons, South Park, Larry King Live, Saturday Night Live, & Monday (soon to be Sunday) Night Football.

& on reruns
The Twilight Zone, The Andy Griffith Show, Three's Company, Seinfeld, The Simpsons, South Park, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Sealab:2021, The Venture Bros.

[TheDom]

oh yeah, Supergroup! great show.

[luxinterior]

Shows that I watch that have not been cancelled, as far as I know:

Law & Order in all forms
Supergroup (heck yeah atari)
Project Runway (although nothing could beat the 2nd season, which was divine)
The Daily Show
The Colbert Report

My TLC shows:
What Not To Wear
10 Years Younger

Those last two could be considered extremely guilty pleasures. I don't really take TV seriously, so anything that I can get a laugh out of is fine. Except Law & Order, which isn't very funny. I tend to like shows that are fashion-oriented but that don't focus primarily on celebrities. Project Runway is a shining example of this, where it's like, "Well they have to make a dress for Iman, but really I just want to see more of Santino."

Boy Meets World
Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia
Nick @ Nite (Full House!)
Home Improvement

[HaydenAsche]

As for TV, I only watch crime shows and Take Home Chef.

[Danny Himself]

Monk. I love Monk.

[atari 2600]

Monk is so-so as is the new Psych show on USA.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia...
I forgot that one...that's a pretty good new comedy...which reminds me that in my picks before I forgot Thief which is also on FX. Tuesdays at ten is when FX has been showing The Shield, Thief & Rescue Me, but all during different times of the year.

Lucky Louie on HBO is a newer sitcom that's okay. Entourage is the lead-in & it helps one kill time until Huff on Showtime, which is the second-best program on television right now.

and I watch The Daily Show, but not daily or anything...I usually catch about one or two of them per week either on the following afternoon's repeat or during the normal scheduled time.

I wonder if VH-1 will do a new Supergroup next year...or if Damnocracy will be featured again possibly...supposedly Ted isn't into doing the band as a real thing.

The point to all this is of course that while it is true that most television sucks, there is, in fact, some good programming too.
However, I know !@#$%!, that guy who's never around anymore, wouldn't agree & neither would Laurie Anderson.
She did a a series of pseudo-public service announcements once & one of the PSAs is called "TV Lunch" & was just added to YouTube:

[krastian]

Did you see they aren't bringing back Huff? Great show.

[kingcoffee]

TV fucking sucks. It's true. There is very little quality programming on. There really is very few entertaining media left in this country. 95% of tv shows suck, 99% of the radio sucks, 90% of newspapers suck. We have no more mediums through which we can express our crappy ideas.

[kingcoffee]

Supergroup is not a great show. There's onl;y tow good musicians in that show: Ian Scott from Anthrax and that guy from Biohazard. Ted Nugent is a backwards, hick pedophile and Sebastian Bach is a retarded drunk.

one nation
under God
has turned into
one nation under the influence
of one drug

[chorus:]
Television, the drug of the Nation
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation
(2x)

T.V., it
satellite links
our United States of Unconsciousness
Apathetic therapeutic and extremely addictive
The methadone metronome pumping out
150 channels 24 hours a day
you can flip through all of them
and still there's nothing worth watching
T.V. is the reason why less than 10 per cent of our
Nation reads books daily
Why most people think Central Amerika
means Kansas
Socialism means unamerican
and Apartheid is a new headache remedy
absorbed in it's world it's so hard to find us
It shapes our mind the most
maybe the mother of our Nation
should remind us
that we're sitting too close to...

[Chorus:]
Television, the drug of the Nation
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation
(2x)

T.V. is
the stomping ground for political candidates
Where bears in the woods
are chased by Grecian Formula'd
bald eagles
T.V. is mechanized politic's
remote control over the masses
co-sponsored by environmentally safe gases
watch for the PBS special
It's the perpetuation of the two party system
where image takes precedence over wisdom
Where sound bite politics are served to
the fastfood culture
Where straight teeth in your mouth
are more important than the words
that come out of it
Race baiting is the way to get selected
Willie Horton or
Will he not get elected on...

[Chorus:]
Television, the drug of the Nation
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation
(2x)

T.V., is it the reflector or the director?
Does it imitate us
or do we imitate it
because a child watches 1500 murders before he's
twelve years old and we wonder why we've created
a Jason generation that learns to laugh
rather than to abhor the horror
T.V. is the place where
armchair generals and quarterbacks can
experience first hand
the excitement of warfare
as the theme song is sung in the background
Sugar sweet sitcoms
that leave us with a bad actor taste while
pop stars metamorphosize into soda pop stars
You saw the video
You heard the soundtrack
Well now go buy the soft drink
Well, the onla cola that I support
would be a union C.O.L.A.(Cost Of Living Allowance)
On television

[Chorus:]
Television, the drug of the Nation
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation
(2x)

Back again, "New and improved"
We return to our irregularly programmed schedule
hidden cleverly between heavy breasted
beer and car commercials
CNNESPNABCTNT but mostly B.S.
Where oxymoronic language like
"virtually spotless", "fresh frozen"
"light yet filling" and "military intelligence"
have become standard
T.V. is the place where phrases are redefined
like "recession" to "necessary downturn"
"Crude oil" on a beach to "mousse"
"Civilian death" to "collateral damages"
and being killed by your own Army
is now called "friendly fire"
T.V. is the place where the pursuit
of happiness has become the pursuit of
trivia
Where toothpaste and cars have become
sex objects
Where imagination is sucked out of children
by a cathode ray nipple
T.V. is the only wet nurse
that would create a cripple

[Chorus:]
Television, the drug of the Nation
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation
(4x)

Tv has a bad effect on children its scientificly proven.

Communes have a pretty bad effect on children, too. Proof? Courtney Love was raised in a commune.

Once again, I want to direct everyone's attention to my signature. Sebastian Bach: retarded drunk, or savior of rock and roll? Probably the former, but let's just pretend it's the latter, Mmkay?

You know, in my memory that really is about the time TV started to go down the tubes.

I'll admit I watch mayyybe two shows, I don't think tv is like a plague on society or anything, but it's sort of becoming that. I just think it's gone to shit recently. I do think that now more than ever, if people are gonna let their kids watch, they should watch it with them DEFINATELY. I saw 2 commercials the other day at 2 pm. One was a woman in very revealing lingere, sitting on top of a man pumping his chest. Another was for some reality cancun bullshit with like 3 women in bikinis rubbing soap on eachother, at 2 PM. Pretty fucked up.

As for TV shows, I enjoy Saturday Night live reruns and Iron Chef. Beyond that, TV is of no intrest to me. Cept that stupid E channel is the only channel that runs the SNL reruns now and the only ones they show are the ones with hosts who are like, super popular celebrities at the moment, so they only show ones from the past 3 years.
