I stopped watching TV long ago. After Lita quit WWE I realized there was no one else worth watching on TV. Except Mama's Family, that show is hilarious.

What ever happened to regualar tv programs and movies? I miss watching normal tv with movies. Please no more reality shows...God!!!
I just think as long as society has a demand for this type of programming, then the producers will continue to churn it out.

I have nothing with choppers but I like to watch the creative process and the social dynamics between the father and his sons.
I liked it back when it first came out, but in the last year or two, I haven't. Frankly, they have let the success go to their heads and when Vinny left, that more or less took a lot out of it for me.

I have to admit that I thought The Mole (as shortlived as it was) was a pretty cool show. Didn't like the celeb version at all.

Another show around the same time that I watched just because of the juxaposition of it, was Joe Schmoe where everything was a setup to trick one unsuspecting contestant into thinking he was playing a reality game show. It was a little goofy at times, but it was entertaining most of the time.

I haven't seen it this season (because I'm glued to Deadliest Catch on another channel), but I do like Hell's Kitchen. It is almost more of a comedy to me than a reality show. I saw the last two seasons and it was ok TV to pass 30 minutes a week.

Nope, reality tv is not really my bag. The only tv that I really make an effort to watch is CBS on Monday nights (Big Bang, How I Met Your Mother, Two and a Half Men) and the cool shows on Discovery / A&E / PBS and such.

Oh yeah, gotta' catch That 70's Show to see my alter-ego, Red Forman. (At least that's how my teenagers lovingly refer to me. )

I cannot stand reality shows, I really wish they would go away permanently.

What is WWE, and who is "Lita"...And is there really ANY glory in the statement "I dont watch TV".

That used to mean, (long time ago) that the person saying it was supposed to be a self-described 'intellect' or something, but now there are plenty of Science shows, Discovery channel shows, PBS that is educational. A boring person is one who doesn't watch any TV. And why would they post on that forum about something they (admittedly) do NOT do?

Maybe not so much about having a 'lack of imagination'...but more to pad their wallets and bank accounts. The "Friends" show with $1million per episode and Seinfeld, right? That is how amateur, everyday people got into the 'acting' biz. I dont really blame the Producers, coz everything has been done to death. Esp. in the sitcom arena. Been there, done that.

Vinny left?
I guess I'm still watching reruns then?
Since I live in Europe and National Geographics here is often repeat TV it doesn't really surprise me.

i was over it for a while, but you don't really have a choice when it's the summer. luckily there's america's got talent! i love this show. new season starts this tuesday at 9pm on NBC. sharon osbourne, david "the hoff" hasselhoff, some british dude name piers, and jerry springer! crazy ass mix, but the show is actually really good.

can't wait to see what they have in store for us. last year's winner was amazing!
