I think the last show I have watched on one of the "Big Four" networks is an episode of Medium. And that was last year sometime. Everyone of the shows we watch are on cable networks such as HGTV, TLC, Food, etc. Anyone else out their ditched the networks?

Yes.

I think the last regular network show I watched was American Idol and the last season I saw was when Fantasia won (loooong time ago). Since then, I gravitated towards cable networks and I think I find regular TV too tame. Or too scripted (if there is such a thing).

My regulars are Bravo, HGTV, TLC, E!, A&E, Travel Channel and Vh1. I couldn't even tell you what comes in the regular networks. Weird how that happened.

Very very few. Boston Legal, but alas it is gone.

The rest of what they offer is mindless crap

Yeah same for me -- hardly ever watch except Sunday night ABC. I also watched Boston Legal and like Big Bang Theory if I catch it ---

I do watch 60 Minutes most times and I like the CBS Early Show on Sundays. Sometimes watch Nightline.

Sad, isn't it for us who grew up on 1960s television. Most of the shows were silly but earnest.

The only thing I watch in summer on Network is Big Brother. Other than that, all my viewing is on cable until the fall shows come back.

Other than sports the only show I watch on the networks is The Office.

If I'm bored at night and there is a Seinfeld rerun on, I'll watch that.

Yep, I'm right there with you...rarely ever watch etwork...I generally feel that my brain is melting quicker than usual if I happen to see anything there...I'm a fan of HGTV, LMN (sappy I know), Discovery, Travel, and Showtime to name a few...

Other than college or pro football, I rarely watch the major 4 networks. I like 24 so I watch that one on Fox but that's it. I used to watch a lot of the network programming in the 80's and 90's (Cheers, Magnum P.I., etc. in the 80's; Friends, Seinfeld, Frasier, etc. in the 90's) but these days there just aren't any shows on those networks that I really like anymore besides 24. Now I usually watch channels like Discovery, the History Channel, and a few select cable shows (Monk on USA network for example).
