Frontier Mom Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I used to have my DVR set to House and it was my definite favorite. Wow, not after the last show. Coming on at 8 and starting out with a lesbian scene was just a little too much for me. Now, before I get backlash, I am not judging others - just saying it was too much for me. I could handle his drug popping, arrogance but the last show was just not for me. So, I deleted it from my DVR and am not taping it anymore. Then, I set it to tape Jon and Kate plus 8 and, like the thread, found her to be the most irritating person I have heard in a while. I just didn't get the point of having a play by play of them going to a ballgame. Just not for me. So, now I am back to my original question, what is worthwhile to watch on cable these days. I just can't stand more news with the election - it's just overkill. For the first time, I have no series set to tape.:tongue_smilie: I am looking forward to 24 and American Idol in the new year though.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny in Florida Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Things that are currently scheduled to record on our DVR: House (for my husband, but I'll watch if I'm in the room) Heroes (although I'm about done with that) Numb3ers (which is just okay, but watchable) Good Eats (although we delete any shows that are too meat-centric) Ace of Cakes Monk (when there are new episodes) Psych (ditto) History Detectives (over the summer) CBS Sunday Honestly, though, I don't cry when I miss any of them. I wish I could find a show or two that I really loved, but no luck recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Fairy Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Well, I like HGTV, so I tape stuff like Rate My Space, House Hunters, and Designed to Sell. I LOVE The Office, and I also watch Frontline, The Mentalist, LAO SVU, and Survivor. I can't wait for 24 to start, although last season was a disappointment, IMO. These days, I don't have enough time to watch much tv, so I have to go through and delete even the shows that I love to make room on my DVR for Liberty's Kids and Curious George. Oh, and NASCAR for my sweetie (which I totally hate and he totally loves!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelda Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I like educational television: How I Met Your Mother Samantha Who? New Adventures of Old Christine The Office Mad Men (fave) Top Model (back off) 30 Rock (eventually) Lost (eventually) Battlestar Galactica (eventually) Oh, and a bunch of stuff from PBS and BBC America. Actually, now that I think about it, no. Nothing from those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jejily Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Zelda, you slay me!! :D On my DVR: Chuck Heroes House Pushing Daisies Lost Life Life on Mars My Own Worst Enemy The Mentalist The Office Trading Spaces Fringe (for now... haven't caught up since episode 3, 'cause I think it's kinda weird) The Starter Wife (I just caught a few episodes and thought I'd check out a few more... kind of a guilty pleasure) BTW... not sure any of these shows are worthwhile. I should probably be reading a book instead!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyboys Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 No one? It's worse than I thought. What is scheduled to record on your DVR? I'm trying some of the newer shows like Life and Life on Mars (?) and the one with Christian Slater. I enjoyed Ugly Betty last year but haven't watched the tapes yet this year. Tried Kath&Kim but found them too...something. Chuck has potential though we didn't watch last year. Dh reeallly didn't like Pushing Up Daisies, I might try one more -- it was the bee one, and it was irritating. Right now we're doing a lot of MLB too. :) House just got too gross for me. Usually like Monk and the Closer, Psych is kind of lighthearted fun. Without a Trace, Numbers. I don't like the really sick-o shows nor the graphic reenactments like CSI. For us here, there was a real disconnect with the writing hiatus -- we started watching Bravo, History channel, etc. Dc loved Meerkat Manor on Animal Planet. Does anyone know if Friday Night Lights is coming back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annabel Lee Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 My regulars: Heroes Lost (when it returns) For the kids: Liberty's Kids When I have a moment I catch partial shows on these channels: Animal Planet, HGTV, Discovery Channel, TLC DH got Dish just so he could see the Dodgers play (they don't show them on local channels here), but after almost a year (our 1st) he's ready to call it quits. When SpongeBob is the most innocent thing out of whats playing on any of the 'kids channels', it really makes you stop and rethink it. On the other hand, the nature shows and other learning shows would be missed alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laylamcb Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 It's not cable, but has anyone caught The Last Enemy on Masterpiece Contemporary? I'm telling you, it's AWESOME. I also watch Masterpiece Mystery; they've been doing the Inspector Lewis mysteries. I watch it for Hathaway. Yowza. Oh--and the mysteries are pretty good, too. And I watch any Masterpiece Classic that they produce. They almost always ROCK. Gotta stack up the "Battlestar Galacticas" and watch them all at once because for some reason I have a hard time holding the information in my head from one episode to the next. My guilty pleasure is "Bones." :001_smile: OK--and occasionally "Smallville." There. I admitted it. I'm so ashamed. But between the Superman guy and the Green Arrow guy--what's a girl to DO?!

H.S. Burrow Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 No one? It's worse than I thought. What is scheduled to record on your DVR? These are the shows that are programmed to record: Stargate Atlantis Sanctuary Numbers Ghost Whisperer NCIS The Mentalist Knight Rider Heroes Eureka Into the Unknown with Josh Bertstein CSI The Wizards of Waverly Place Hannah Montana We watch House in re-runs on USA because our 2 timers are taken when the first run episode is on. We usually DVR all of these and either watch them the next night or begin watching a half hour after they start so that we can FF through all of the commercials. I hate commercials. Each morning, I will look and what is on the various Discovery channels, Biography, History, History International and National Geographic, and Encore channels to see what might be used in "school". I recently recorded To Kill A Mockingbird that we will watch this spring after reading the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
