I do. I have no life, so I depend on TV for entertainment. It seems they have reached a tentative agreement though, so hopefully some new shows will show up for Spring sweeps

Gave me an opportunity to watch some of the DVDs I bought and never watched.
I understand where the writers were coming from though. every time a new media comes along it wasn't covered by there contract so they got screwed.
I don't watch reality shows, so it's been pretty bleak on these cold evenings. I did get a lot done though inside the house, and spent a buncha time selling stuff on e-bay.

The shows I miss most are the Office, 30 Rock, Lost and Heroes. The animated shows have a different union, so at least I've been able to get my Simpsons/ Family guy fix.
I hate reality TV as well, so my Blockbuster online account has been getting some serious use lately. Too bad the Sabres suck so much this year, can't even get excited to watch a game anymore

Like shows that make you pay attention to whats going on..........so I like the CSI's and Crime shows too. Not the mindlessness of reality shows, or the endless dragging of the new game shows. A real game show is fast paced, like Jeopardy.

I forgot about CSI.... It's on against the Office, so I haven't watched it on CBS for a while, usually just catch the reruns on Spike

I really don`t watch much TV, I do rent a few movie DVDs a month, and turn up the surround sound.
I don`t like ER,and all them fake medical shows, when you do that stuff for a living you try and distance yourself from it when off the clock

ER, and the other medical shows turned into soap operas. Law and Order, and the CSI's at least have a viable plot line.....................
