Taking a walk in the evening around TV, I notice TV being watched. I wonder sometimes what TV people are watching. Although we have more money then the young folks relatively speaking and the ad agencies should cater to us but they don't care. There rating interests are for the young folks. So, what do we watch? I believe Trish mentioned in one of the postings NCIS. I like it too. I also like House. We watch Dancing with the Stars.
1. NCIS
2. House
3. Dancing with the Stars
4. Charlie Rose
5. Doc Martin
6. CBS Sunday Morning
7. Burn Notice
8. Morning Joe (Sorry, Fox and Friends)
9. The Closurer
10.News(NBC, BBC)
Not in any particular order and not always

From a TV wannabee in no particular order:
The Closer, Rizzoli & Isles, CSI Miami, The Good Wife, Mad Men, Hawaii 5-0 (the new version which started last year), Rescue Me (final episode aired last month) Blue Bloods, Pan Am -- just started last week, looks promising.
No sitcoms on my list. I get too many laughs at my office :).

Best new show, I believe, is "Person of Interest" on Thursday night. Two others that are pretty good are "Prime Suspect" with Maria Bello and "Unforgettable" with Poppy Montgomery.
Older good ones: The Good Wife, Rules of Engagement Grey's Anatomy, Blue Bloods, Harry's Law and Body of Proof.

Yes, in a way you ridiculed him. He may watch the show for news and you tell him it is a joke. You may as well call him a joke. You can understand that, right?

I completely agree. He/she may be serious about liking Fox News and you just call that a joke.
As far as the original poster goes: Just because some of us elders may have more $ than the younger folks doesn't mean we spend it! The ad men know how to market and who buys things.
I like Bing Bang Theory; Happy Endings (see a trend:)) and other sitcoms. Plus surviovor (have seen all 23 seasons) and Amazing Race.

I just checked my Direct TV and we do not have the Me Network. Shucks. I love those old shows. I loved both of Newhart's shows. Cheers, All in the Family, Seinfeld. I have so many TCM movies recorded that I have only 20% left on my recorder.
You have a good night on TV, too.

"Yes, in a way you ridiculed him. He may watch the show for news and you tell him it is a joke. You may as well call him a joke. You can understand that, right?"
Let's go back to basic Logic 101. Freshman year.
A) is a black bird B) is a bird
A equals B (both are birds)
C) therefore all birds are black
WRONG, A does not equal C, not all birds are black.
Basic logic.
So no, calling a show a comedy is NOT saying that I think the viewer is a joke. It is saying I think it is a comedy.

Too funny.
A friend of mine that visited said no one in TV has time to watch TV since they are so busy and you only come home to sleep.
Guess he's wrong since everyone seems to have listed tons of shows they watch.
Whoa; I just realized #20 response is from BH, MI.
I can't believe you're not going to Naples which is the response we get when we tell people we moved to Orlando in 2004.
I only thought east siders and folks from small town went to TV.

We played golf almost every night this summer till lack of sunlight forced us to go home and fall asleep on the coach. Soon many of the outdoor activities will stop because of daylight saving time and it does get cold at night. I have a bunch of programs recorded and the new shows are now starting.

My wife was too; growing up in GP then moved to BH then Bham from where we moved from to FL.
Your husband sounds like me growing up. I didn't know anything past John R to the East, Telegraph to the West, Pontiac to the North and 12 mile to the South.
When I went to college my roomate was from Redford Twp.
Where the heck is that?
Now for the folks that golf until sunset then lay on the "coach"; I know TV can get wild but....:coolsmiley:

Let's keep the discussion to shows you like or watch.
Saying you don't like a show is not a personal criticism of those who watch it... Whether it is Fox News, Survivor, two and a Half Men, etc. We all have our likes and dislikes.
