I don't really watch it anymore. We stream TV shows on Netflix while we watch dinner, and if we watch a movie in the evening it's either a DVD or Netflix.

I used to watch football, but these days it seems like commercials with a little football in between.

It sucks ass. The shows that stay on the longest are carbon copies of each other. Crappy cop shows and repetitive comedies with stupid punchlines accentuated by laughtracks. It's always been like that, it just seems like there's more of that nowadays and whenever something good finally comes on instead of staying strong through multiple seasons (Seinfeld, Star Trek) it gets cancelled far too fast (Firefly, Arrested Development).

I never watched a whole lot of TV to begin with, so yeah. But I am looking forward to the Homeland season finale as far as TV today goes.

How many of those are cable shows? And how many good shows are there in proportion to bad ones?

As has been said over and over again in these sorts of threads, TV is better now then it has ever been. Anyone who says otherwise isn't watching the right shows.

F*cking disgusting. TV is supposed to be trite, by-the-numbers procedurals, soaps and three-camera sitcoms airing on a major network; get out of here with your creative and interesting programming on heathen cable and NBC.

My only wish is that American networks came up interesting panel shows like those on the BBC. (Buzzcocks, QI, etc.) Seeing American celebrities and personalities on those kind of shows would be a treat.

I would love an American version of QI, if it had appearances by Fey, Clobert, Stewart, Louis CK, and John Hodgman.

Cable is supposed to be better than network, you have commercials AND subscription fees. The fact that any cable program at all is as bad as even the best show on network is a slight against the quality of cable shows.

I don't watch that much TV but do watch Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, American Horror Story, Hell on Wheels, The Office and Dexter online, on demand, or with DVDs. I don't spend that much time watching actual TV.

Mostly crap other than Breaking Bad and Mad Men (which I know was cancelled a while ago). If anyone has any shows kinda like them that they could recommend, it would be appreciated, especially if they're available on Netflix.

There are lots of great programs. People say, oh TV from years ago is so much better, but that's just a load of crap. The only shows we see from a long time ago are the good ones that stuck around. There are just as many crap shows from long ago as there are today, only those are off the air and hopefully gone for good. With so many show options today, there's always a show for somebody.. Many shows on Television are great, yes there are bad one's but there is such a wider variety today. Commercials are getting longer, that's probably the huge negative thing about television today though.

All of those stations, except for a few shows on Syfy are utter crap. MTV shouldn't exist. Comedy Central (beside some stand up and latenight) has become a worthless station. The Horror channel shows crappy scary movies from the 80's-today, tru tv, nuff said. Maybe you should start watching, HBO, Showtime, AMC, the good shows on Fox, CBS, and USA.

When there's a show about the Kardashians, TV today is never a good thing
