I don't watch TV at all. I don't even have a TV. =x
 
I wouldn't survive without a TV. Simply because of the fact that I'm such a big sports fan. XD
 
XD

Let's see.... when I had a TV years ago, I watched Malcolm in the Middle sometimes, Simpsons sometimes, Futurama, and ... I don't remember. Oh, MTV too!

It's exciting when one's hometown is close to winning a cup too, so I watch sports whenever that happens. I also liked the Olympics and Winter Olympics. Very fun watching just how far the world can go with physical performances.

Well, you named some of the few good shows on TV now days. Although I pretty much despise MTV...except for Real World. I'm a sucker for that show. XD I just like all the drunken drama.

I'm hooked to the TV whenever the Olympics are on. You're absolutely right, it's extremely fun watching how far people can push themselves physically and mentally.

I could. I don't find there's really anything on that's worth watching anymore. Mainly all the shows on TV are reality shows, like Big Brother. There isn't really many comedies or other type of genre films/shows. It's all reality stuff, so after a while it gets tedious watching them. I also despise watching sport, so unlike you, I couldn't sit and watch a football match.
 
I watch MTV Base and the occasional reality show. I couldn't live without a T.V. Not because of the shows but because I'd have no where else to play my Playstation.
 
Hah, the TV I play my Playstation on doesn't have many channels and the picture and signal quality isn't good at all, so I really play video games on it. If I'm watching normal TV shows I'll go in the living room.
 
The T.V. I play my Playstation on is in my room. I don't even know if the other channels work cause I never check.

Terrestial TV is terrible, imo. Of the five channels, you're lucky to find anything decent on at any one time. All the networks seem to cater for are the pre-schoolers and pensioners in the day time, and the 40+ age groups in the evenings. There's never really anything for the teenage age group, unless you enjoy watching Hollyoaks.

I mean, I enjoy watching comedy and action/ thriller shows and even some drama/mystery shows, but there really aren't many anymore. The only British comedy shows I've liked in recent years have been topical comedy quiz shows like Never Mind The Buzzcocks, They Think It's All Over, Have I Got News For You, Mock The Week, Qi and 8 Out Of 10 Cats. I love watching Lost, but even that isn't on Channel 4 anymore. So I've taken to either watching a couple of channels on Sky, mainly Sky One and Paramount Comedy, and the Sky Sports channels whenever there's a football match on.

But now I either download the shows I want to watch, which are usually American sitcoms, such as the new season of Scrubs, or I'll buy DVD boxsets of shows that I like. That way I don't have to sit through constant reality shows, soap operas and dull dramas.

I bet this post will kill the DCC for a while
 
I've never really liked Have I Got News For You, or the others you listed. Lately I've taken a liking to Qi, but I wouldn't have watched it if
there'd been some else on. It does, however, get a little boring after watching a few episodes as it's mainly the same guests on with Alan Davis always making a idiot of himself. I agree though, apart from a few odds TV shows there isn't really anything else on that's worth watching.

If I want to watch a TV show I'll usually get a DVD, but I haven't seen many things I want to see...
 
Yeah, those comedy quiz shows don't suit everybody's tastes. Luckily, I do like them though, if I didn't then I'd really not watch many British shows at all.

I've taken quite a big liking to Qi over the last three weeks, though I've mainly been watching clips on YouTube. It's different to most of the other quiz shows in that the guests are almost always comedians. But, same with the other quiz shows that have new guest performers, each show depends on the people that are in it. Some shows have had me laughing all of the way through, while others have bored me silly. So now I only watch episodes when they have comedians that I like, such as Bill Bailey, Rich Hall, Sean Locke and Jimmy Carr.
 
Yeah, let's all talk about British TV shows so Fuz has no idea what we're talking about. XD

I do like comedy quizzes, don't get me wrong, just not all of them. It depends if I know a lot about who's presenting it and stuff. If I know it's going to be funny because so-and-so if on I'll sit and watch it. Like, I've Got News For You, I don't particularly like the people on it, which is why I don't like it. Maybe if it was presented by someone else I would watch it. No idea.

Qi is really good sometimes. I've watched lots and lots of episodes. If you watch it on UKTV G2 they repeat a lot of the episodes, which is probably why I'm slowly going off it. I watched Jimmy Carr lives a few weeks ago, and for once, I actually laughed at it. XD

You could always change the topic to something that you do want to talk about. It's a crazy though but, hey, it just might work. XD
