Is there ANYTHING good on TV?

[Bob]

Good music stuff of course.  But good shows for entertainment too.

When I do flip through the channels, I don't see a whole lot that looks worthwhile.  So, of course, I think, "Why not go spend some time on the Piano Street website." 

[jas]

There's never anything good on TV. All they ever seem to show show are reality TV, soaps, football and DIY programmes, all of which I despise, and the news, which is just vaguely depressing. They should just put Lost on 24/7. Then I'd be able to ogle Sawyer without any unnecessary interruptions.

[tac-tics]

Besides Adult Swim?

Nope....

Television is the mind control box of America (and related developed nations). I can tell you what's on Fox news tonight. A woman was murdered in Chicago. Drinking orange juice may help fight cancer. A dog was rescued from a fire. Sports. That is all.

CLASSIC fm TV. It's a little repetitive but in many of the clips they show close-ups of the performers hands whilst playing piano. I like watching/studying their technique.

House
Scrubs
Lost
Battlestar Galactica
My Name is Earl
The Office

Firefly and Arrested Development are also great shows though they've both been canceled.(Damn you Fox!  Damn you unto Hell!)

BTW if you don't like at least a few of the above shows, you are a sad sad person.

[alwaystheangel]

House!
Best show in the world and it's on to night!! yes!!! party!!!
I love house
Love it love it love

[maul]

Discovery Channel, Fox News (), Sci-Fi Channel, History Channel, Discovery Health, IFC for movies, etc.

[notturno]

24
Nova
Football
Frontline

In general I'm glad TV is so bad; less to distract me from practicing.  I don't even bother with cable.

[Floristan]

Huff
The Sopranos
The Daily Show with John Stewart
Bill Maher's show

HBO, Showtime, and the Comedy Channel almost always have something good on.

[Jacey1973]

"Doctor Who" and "Friday Night with Jonathon Ross" is all i watch,

rest of the time it's BBC radio 3, better than TV anytime. Plus I'm loving Barenboim: Reith lectures and the "Counterpoint" music quiz show on BBC radio 4 at the moment.

[alwaystheangel]

Did  I mention House? It's a double episode tonight and tomorrow! Someone's gonna get really sick. I hope it's forman...

[johnny-boy]

Yes there is. I have a copy of "Atlas Shrugged" on my TV.

John

[Mozartian]

No, there is NOTHING good on TV. Except sports, and even THEN you have to sit through five million hours of commercials to watch a 2 hour tennis match... 

I don't have the patience to watch TV.

[thalbergmad]

Friday Night with Jonathon Ross" is all i watch,

Sorry, you have spelt that wrong.

It is Jonathon Woss.

Do you think he'll die?

[musik_man]

Do you think he'll die?

Maybe he'll accidently infect Chase.  One can only hope.

[alwaystheangel]

Maybe he'll accidently infect Chase.  One can only hope.

As long as he doesn't hurt House, I'm fine.

[musik_man]

As long as he doesn't hurt House, I'm fine.

My mom called me during the last 5 minutes of the episode!

Madonna doesn't allow her children to watch TV cos she says its trash

I totally agree with Madonna. 

I own a TV, but I don't have an antenna or cable for it.  I use it solely for videos.  I watch mostly documentary and edcational videos.  But I also watch good movies.  Usually human interest stories there were designed from real life true stories, like "A Beautiful Mind", or "A First Sight", things along that line.

I also enjoy some fantasies, sci-fi, and romance movies.  I'm not really into action films, slap-stick comedy, horror, or most things that TV is famous for.

This news is totally uncessary to watch.  I know what's going on out there.  I don't  need to have it shoved in my face daily.  That doesn't change the fact that it will continue to be like that tomorrow so what's the point in watching it?  I get my news from NPR radio.  So far it's been a pretty accurate report of how sick the world is.  What more do I need to know about it?  Like I say, I'm not in a position to do anything about it anyway except vote, but I would never vote based on what I see on the news anyway.   I perfer to get my political facts straight from the horse's mouths.

So, in short, no TV for me.  It's a total waste of the human spirit.

[Kassaa]

House .

[henrah]

SCRUBS!!! WOOP WOOP it's on tonight!!!

Yeah House is wicked too, can't wait for a second series/season!

[lau]

i feel like house is the same thing every episode. they can't find out whats wrong with the person, then go to the white board, then the patient has some dramatic outburst and then they find a cure just in time.

family guy is to good to be true

[nicco]

family guy is to good to be true

very true.

[nanabush]

Family Guy, CSI and the movie network are all I watch... sometimes I catch the news.

[trunks]

Anything good?
Not if we're talking about The Apprentice, America's Top Model . . . YUCK

1. Discovery and National Geographic documentary films
2. Kyle XY
3. The Class
4. Heros
5. Boston Legal

7. Psychic
8. Grey's Anatomy

We don't have a TV at all. We could watch DVDs on the computer, I suppose, but we don't.

Therefore we don't need a television licence, but it can sometimes be difficult persuading the authorities of this. It is one of the few circumstances in the UK in which you are assumed guilty until proven innocent. You have to notify them that you don't watch television, and if you fail to do so, they can get a magistrate's warrant to enter your premises forcibly.

Leucippus, if you lived in the UK, you would also not need a TV licence, as long as you could demonstrate that your TV was never used for receiving broadcast programmes. They probably base their acceptance of any such statements on the apparent eccentricity of the person making it. You'd be OK as a classical musician - we're all weird. 

[pianistimo]

forcibly enter your home for being accused of not having a television license?  that is another example of surveillance import.  why is this so important?  i don't understand at all. 

changing the subject slightly, we declined to have DSL service (high speed internet service) even though they claimed the telephone company had to run cables in our front yard and install a box.  our driveway was cracked across the entire entry point (and they did come and fix it after i called).  seems that they assumed everyone in the neighborhood would want it (for a fee) - but did not realize until after the fact that they were servicing only two or three people in the entire neighborhood.  apparrently they think that in the future it will be in high demand. 

we were notified that they would be digging and asked permission - as if we could really say ' no.'  my parents are going through a similar thing in alaska with the lines running behind their home needing more accessibility .  so they try to take more land for 'public right of way' or whatever they call it.  not sure how this went down at the council meeting.  in alaska - people really complain about infringement of rights.

[ihatepop]

How many of you watch cartoons?

P.S. Have anyone of you ever heard about a recent movie named 'High School Musical'?

[burstroman]

When traveling I have occasion to watch a bit of TV in a hotel room, I always come to the conclusion that there is little worthwhile to watch.  I still don't own a TV.

[phil13]

House
The Daily Show
The Colbert Report

And of course, there's the BBC comedies, which (unfortunately) we here on the US West Coast only get a few shows, once a week.

My Hero

This comprises all the TV I watch.

oh sick, we watched that movie last year year during choir. What really made me didn't like it was those stupid hats that the one guy wears all the time. the hat with the flat top and is put at the side.

[bachfan87]

America's next top model and it's on in an hour!
You guys should watch sex and the city reruns. That show is the best.
And I know I'm supposed to be a classical musician, but I watch music vids on vh1. My bad.
