Too much TV!

Good Ultimate Fighter tonight (I can't believe I somehow missed last weeks'). I've never seen any UFC and I used to think that WWE was stupid, until my little brother got me into it and I couldn't resist the cheap drama, if only as filler for actual 'fights' (that's why I quit watching: TOO much drama!)

I have a DVR supplied by my cable company (TimeWarner) and I love using it to catch all the shows I like, without much setup beyond setting if I want it to record reruns or new (though it also records new shows that are re-broadcast 3 hours later for PST).

Here are some of the shows I like that I have setup:

24

Just starting watching it this season; I've been spoiled on HBO, so I haven't bothered watching much network television

American Chopper

I love the conflict, humor, and (somewhat) information this show offers

Monster Garage

Similar reason to above

WRC Rally Magazine on Speed Channel

I love rally racing and HATE Nascar (find it boring)!

Mythbusters

This show is fun to watch when you want to see things get blown up and learn some useless things.

It Takes a Thief

Fun show to watch in this game of 'cat and mouse'; I always root for the thief. :) It's sad that we do have to protect ourselves to the extent that these guys give the homeowners they burgle, but it's entertaining and informative.

NUMB3RS

A decent drama with plausible tech-related scenarios, good acting and not cheesy.

CSI: NY / CSI

The first show(s) to get me to watch network again (don't like Miami, though).

Hey! Spring of Trivia

Funny, quirky, Japanese game show with interesting trivia.

Aqua Teen Hungerforce

My favorite characters are Meatwad, Carl and Master Shake

Home Movies

Haven't seen any new ones, but I just love Coach McGurk and the 'sinus-kid'.

Sealab 2021

This season is REALLY BAD, especially compared to previous seasons where Cap'n Murphy was 'on-board' (R.I.P.). Basically, the show is hit-or-miss but these new ones just really don't make any sense and are not funny at all.

The Brak Show

Dad is hilarious!

Crank Yankers!

I like Special Ed.

Fifth Gear

Good, variety car show from Britian.

MXC

Gut-bustingly hilarious! I love it for the impacts and the voice-overs.

Rides

Cool car show.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex

I've been into anime since 1989 and I usually can't stand American mass-marketed English dubs, but the CN aired version is tolerable. (on a side note: I prefer the original language, but I don't know why the don't take advantage of SAP to air the JP language tracks and use the closed-captions for the subtitles, then you'd please both fans of dubs and subs).

Overhaulin'

Chip Foose never ceases to amaze me with his artistic and design skills, as well as the cars he produces. ;) I wish I could be that lucky to receive and 'overhaul'.

Futurama

Great post-Simpsons Matt Groening. Bender's probably my favorite character.

Dominick Dunne: Power, Privilege and Justice / The Investigators / North Mission Road / Forensic Files / I, Detective / Body of Evidence / Extreme Evidence / etc...

Some of the many CourtTV shows I'm hooked on (first CSI, then progressed to CourtTV).

Then, there's the original shows on HBO (Carnivale, Deadwood, etc...) that I watch on VideoOnDemand. With all this entertainment at my fingertips, it's not wonder I don't get much work done here. :)
