I do watch some network TV...

Larry J — 11/10/2005 5:58:44 PM (archived)

although there are only a very few programs that interest me any more. Most of my TV viewing is on the History Channel (both of them), the various Discovery channels (I get 5 or 6 of them), and occassionally the Sci Fi channel. On any given evening, there is at most 1 network program that I watch and none on several evenings (Sunday, Tuesday, and Saturday evenings have no programs that interest me on network TV). If it weren't football season, I wouldn't turn the TV on at all on Sunday.

I've seen bits and pieces of "The West Wing" but I've never been big on fantasy. Besides, about the last thing I'm interested in watching is a program (any program) about politics. I've just gotten burned out on it.
