I watch more TV than I should. I like most of the shows on NBC, and I've been watching a lot of HBO and the Discovery channels since getting digital cable last summer. I've been watching less TV over the last 4 months though, and I'd like to keep going in that direction.

As far as reality shows, "The Apprentice" is interesting, and I watch "The Real World" and "The Osbournes" for their humor. But the only other reality show I've ever enjoyed is "Lost" (6 episodes on NBC just after 9/11). The rest of it is just absolute crap to me.

I love a good sitcom. I was raised on them (and other guilty pleasure shows from the 80s like Dynasty, Dallas, etc.). I loved "Titans" for the brief time that it was on...it was soooo campy, a la the nighttime shows that I just mentioned. I don't give a fuck that to some people it's mindless...hell sometimes I need that. My life is too damned serious as it is, so every once in a while, I could use something that will take my mind off of things.

I'm not the biggest fan of reality TV. Syc and I watched the first season of Fear Factor, but after that, it just became to gross and stupid. But now, The Apprentice and America's Next Top Model are my shows (yes, I DID say the model show...AND?!?).
