I watch cable. When I bother watching anything. There's hardly anything good on anymore. Although I am looking forward to the new series of Doctor Who.

We have digital cable.

I watch:

- Lost
- Stargate SG1
- Stargate Atlantis
- Battlestar Galactica

That's about it except for the occasional program on History Channel or Discovery.

My TV watching has definitely changed since Firefly. I used to watch Fox, now I don't at all. I used to watch more television, but now I prefer a good book or talking to my family.

We're strictly network and DVD now. When we watched cable TV it was mostly food network, trading spaces and scifi. Now we tape charmed (it overlaps game night) and occasionally watch things on the WB. We're talking about getting cable again (because it's part of the internet package) but I am not really exited about it.

Cable. Hasn't changed since Firefly partly cause I didn't get into the show until it was on DVD. But now it seems like we're buyin' more shows on DVD.

I have premium cable.

I don’t generally watch specific tv shows. I watched Buffy pretty much every week, until the sixth season. I haven’t watched a new episode of Buffy since then.

Firefly was the last tv show that I actually tried to watch every week.

Dark Angel before that, but it started to suck in the second season, so I changed to 24.

I’m looking forward to the new Battlestar Galactica.

Other then that, most shows that I watch are more out of convenience. Gilmore Girls, Seventh Heaven, King of the Hill, Stargate. I rarely follow them very closely.

Mostly, if my television is on, it is generally tuned to CNN, Foxnews, History Channel, TLC, Disney or Discovery Channel.

LOST on ABC

We go to a friends house to catch SG-1 - we don't have SCi-fi

Scrubs when we can

Angel on TNT or FX

otherwise I rehash all those DVD sets

or..............

I download episodes or seasons of good TV off Bittorrent. Just finished downloading Tru Calling & Season 1 of Mcgyver. Then burned those to DVD. & the good stuff I turn around & BUY!

oh yeah, and all the extras on the LOTR extended DVD's - yep my wife & I are commentary junkies.

I watch on cable, and nothin's changed since Firefly.

I watch a lot, though I think that being a writer is probably a factor. I may end up working in TV someday, so I like to see what else is going on, and what storylines I can be inspired by/steal from. There are a few gems if you know where to look. YTV keeps showing animé, so I'll keep watching.

Plus DVDs are just so gorram expensive in Canada; I'll rarely spend the money if I can see it on TV. Though Teletoon's go-se treatment of TMNT and MegasXLR is making me want to start buying those sets, just to get away from Teletoon (imagine if Fox took over your local cartoon network).

I'm with sarge... to hell with the idiotbox.

Firefly was the only thing that ever convinced me to watch the damned thing again, and look what happened to it ?

I read books, a rather forgotten pasttime in this day and age, but you don't have advertisements popping out of them and trying to ram themselves down your throat, if you don't like em, you can chuck em aside and pick up something else, and you can 'put it on pause' with a mere strip of paper for an indefinate period of time without worrying about equipment damage.

Got a VHS and DVD player, but rarely use that either, hollywood is so unorginal these days they've resorted to strip mining books for plot material, and doing it so badly that anyone who's read the books they're robbing (cause RARELY do they actually give credit, which is outright theft, imop) winces in pain when they see it.

Just like Sarge, with me this was their last chance, and they blew it so bad i'll never put up with them again.

Full digital cable and modem. I watch Discovery Science (Ch. 102) and Discovery Civilization (104) primarily. Currently, DiscSci is showing "Unsolved History: Aztec Temple" about Templo Mayor and the reported 20,000 eviscerations performed there in a single week (according to testimony by Cortez' Conquistadors). Really though, I'm just waiting for 7:00 PM local, when DiscSci's Cosmic Dimension kicks off: 3 hour-long programs about astrophysics (block-repeated 6 times in a 24 hour period).

It's what I live for. Tonight: Cosmic Odyssey (birth and death of stars), Universe 2001 (history of the Earth), and Understanding Asteroids (the NEAR mission).

DiscCiv does lots of anthropological stuff I like. History channel still occasionally gets interesting material. I watch some G4TechTV, too; although they've managed to turn ScreenSavers into a Nickelodeon-grade production. That used to be one of the best shows on TV. Now, instead of computer tips, tricks and buying advice, it's about cell phones and iPods, and they have live bands. WTF?! You need a scorecard to keep up with the 'host of the hour' scenario they've got going. Also on g4TechTV, Anime Unleashed: 2 30-minute episodes of recent Japanese animation series.

Other than that, mostly movies from digital tier.

P.S.
Unsolved History came to the conclusion that the Aztecs did cut the hearts out of 20,000 enemy warriors over a 4-day period. Just thought you might like to know. Next: Fire Mummies of the Philippines.
