The Miscellaneous TV Thread
lepetitfromage:
Alright, I know that we've all got them. The shows that you watch that are just not important enough to have their own thread.
So, what are they? What are the "regulars" on your TV?
I've gone from watching a few things every so often to having a DVR that is a bit out of hand. Monday is 2 Broke Girls, HIMYM and The Voice. Tuesday is NCIS, Face Off, The Biggest Loser and New Girl. Sometimes The Voice results too. Tuesday is a busy night for my cable box! Wednesday is reserved solely for SVU. (American Horror Story is not watched when it's on but reserved for marathons post-season) Thursday and Friday are boring TV-wise. Sometimes Glee.
Monday through Friday at 7pm, I DVR Jeopardy. God help you if you delete Jeopardy.
When primetime shows are on hiatus, I generally stick to reruns of Modern Family and cartoons. (Bob's Burgers, The Simpsons, American Dad, Family Guy)
I watch too much damn TV.

My DVR records a lot of stuff I end up not watching. I have it set to record Jeopardy every day at 3:30, but I never actually get around to watching it. My shameful guilt is that I watch the reality-show crap on the Food Network. Restaurant Impossible, Chopped, Guy's Grocery Games, that stuff.
LookingIn:
I have turned into a regular on-demand viewer of "Big Bang Theory" and "Two and a Half Men", I tried watching "2 Broke Girls" but the current storyline is a bit annoying for my tastes.
I can't help it but I have watched just about every episode of "Mythbusters" since the show started, and it is just about the only show that I watch the night it airs. It's one of those shows that manages to balance fun with science and the five hosts have great chemistry and are a rare case of hosts who are the real deal professionals.
Barmymoo:
Because I don't have a TV, I basically watch stuff when it's available on ITV player, iPlayer or Demand 5 (Channel 4 has yet to broadcast anything I can even remotely consider worth watching).
I will always watch Doctor Who, Call the Midwife, Waterloo Road, Doc Martin and Downton Abbey when they are on. Fortunately, they rarely overlap more than two at a time!
When I've got time off, like during a holiday week or a "reading week" like this one, where I've been set exactly 0 reading to do, I'll watch British crime dramas - things like The Bletchley Circle, Midsomer Murders, any Agatha Christie, Morse, Blue Murder, Scott and Bailey etc. For sheer mindless decompressing or entertainment while tackling mammoth piles of washing up I watch American crime dramas like NCIS or CSI.
For someone without a TV I guess I watch quite a lot of it, but it's the best way I've found of getting myself to cook, wash up or clean - it occupies my mind while I get on with various chores.
The Seldom Killer:
Barmy, you should watch Utopia on 4OD, one of the best bits of contemporary British drama in a very long time.
I too only watch through iPlayer and 4OD. Waiting for Dr Who, am watching Musketeers, Big Bang Theory although it's pretty much jumped the shark, Uncle, Buzzcocks, HIGNFY, Mock The Week and the occaisional Graham Norton depending on the guests.
Also occasionally run through whole series on Quick-Stream.me if I'm unemployed or my wife is away for work. Game of Thrones, House of Cards and Orange is the New Black were pretty good this way.
