Thanks to satellite, I don't get ABC, NBC, CBS, or Fox so I don't watch too many of those shows anymore. Just the ones that they show on the station websites. Mainly that's NCIS and Once Upon a Time.

I *used* to watch
Hawaii 50
How I Met Your Mother
Big Bang Theory
Mentalist
House
Castle
Two and Half Men
Rules of Engagement

I used to watch CSI but then it kind of jumped the shark. Ditto for CSI Miami

Now I mainly watch shows on other channels. USA has some great ones. These aren't all on at the same time, thank god. Their seasons offset each other. I never watch anything live though, it's all DVR'd.

Fairly Legal
Burn Notice
White Collar
Sons of Anarchy
The Client List
True Blood
Californication
Leverage
Game of Thrones
Eureka
Justified
Tosh.0
Ancient Aliens
Mythbusters
Antony Bourdain No Reservations
Psych
Being Human
Covert Affairs
South Park
And some home remodeling shows to get ideas for my new house

Justified
I just got done reading Elmore Leonard's books about Raylon Givens. Pretty good stuff. The funny thing is that "Fire in the Hole" (which is what Justified is based on) is just a short story that ends with Raylon shooting Boyd Crowder DEAD. Most of the back story is done pretty well with a couple of exceptions. In the books, Raylon has two sons that he rarely gets to see, since he lives in Florida and Winona lives in Harlan. Raylon's father is dead, a coal miner who lost his life in the mines. Timothy Oliphant NAILS the way that Leonard describes Raylon, not just in appearance, but in his mannerisms as well.

Spence, you need to watch Justified as well. IMO, it's every bit as good as SOA.

I watch very little TV as well. The only shows I watch when I remember they are on are, NCIS, Bones, although this season from what I see sucks, and CSI NY. I quit watching CSI, the original series when Grissom left.

I watched Third Watch, NYPD Blue, and Hill Street Blues when they were on.

I have Xfinity from comcast as my internet connection, as well as cable and they have some of the old Hill Street Blues episodes available for viewing.

I did watch the West Wing when it was on and Boston Legal. West Wing was great I enjoyed it a lot.

I agree. I read Fire in The Hole;Riding the Rapp and Pronto.
In FIH Ava shoots her husband (Boyd's brother) across they table with a 30-06 just like on they first season of Justified.
Otherwise the show simply is based on some of the FIH charecters .
