First off, I do not have cable or any other channels so my "TV" is limited to anything on Netflix or DVD. That being said, I watch House, Scrubs, Grey's Anatomy, Lost, The Tudors, Deadliest Catch, and South Park.

Right now I watch House, Scrubs (although it is getting painful to watch those new unfunny episodes), and Breaking Bad (freaking amazing, watch it). I still enjoy a simpsons and futurama every once in a while on the cartoon network. Soon enough I will be back to watching Dexter and any other HBO series that peaks my interest.

Lists!

Spongebob
M*A*S*H (When it's on)
Spongebob
Bear in the big blue house (don't knock it till you've tried it)
Spongebob
Man vs Wild
History Channel stuff
Anything by David Attenborough
Spongebob

That's it really, between gaming, the internet and real life things, I don't set aside much time for plain old TV watching.

I was watching TV like an hour ago, and I thought : What kind of show do you watch on TV?
So I would like to hear about what do you watch on the idiot box while you're not playing games.
Nothing. TV is terrible. The only shows worth even the slightest iota of my attention are Mythbusters and South Park.

Edit: And Freakazoid for the sheer insanity of it.

How I Met Your Mother
Frasier
Gurren Lagann
Red Eye
Krod Mandoon (which I found surprisingly watchable)
South Park (which I find surprisingly disappointing in recent seasons)
Futurama
No Reservations

That's all that comes to mind as of yet.

Big Bang Theory
How I Met Your Mother
Numb3rs
House
Scrubs
Heroes(occasionally)
and I'm told I have to watch Dollhouse cause of me being a Joss Whedon fan.

I don't watch TV. The internet rules. The only show I really watch religiously is Scrubs and ABC be damned if they think I'm gonna wait 4 years until someone licenses their new season in Europe and then ruins it with giant badly translated subtitles.

Although they do stream it. Which is cool.

I watch some TV, or at least have it on in the background when I'm doing other things (such as homework). Getting cable killed my brain.

In no particular order: Dollhouse, NCIS, Futurama, Mythbusters, Lost, Law and Order (SVU), Stargate, Frasier, Chuck, Arrested Development, Dexter, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles... What a weird mix of shows. I'm sure there are others I watch, I just can't think of them right now. Some series I try to watch in order, so if I miss a few I have to wait until the DVD comes out or try to catch up online.

EDIT: I almost forgot the horrendous SciFi original movies. I watch those, too.
Those are all good shows.

I love Dexter, though I've watched most of it online.
Censoring? No thank you.

See, I'd kidnap the children of whoever made the decision and kill them.
And I agree completely.
It would be better if you kidnap their children but use them as bait, and when their parents come you blow them up (parents included).

A more dramatic choice.
Perhaps, but explosives are very crude.
Well, maybe you can grab the children and make "Special Chili", and give it to their parents.

Watching TV unless @ a friend's house cuts into my game budget @ home. Furthermore, network distributors can kiss my butt. I'm not paying the price of a whole game for a months worth of Basic. I'll come back into the TV fold when I can get my channels A La Carte.

Edit: I gots better things to do anyway. Like post in the escapist's forums.

I stopped. Nothing is entertaining on TV. Well now that Fringe is supposedly back, I'll start watching it again.

I rarely watch TV now because I spend all my time either here or playing video games. But when I do watch TV I usually just watch anything on adult swim or anything on comedy central.
