My crowd.

Do any of you who read my LJ actually watch TV?

It seems the crowd I gather seems to not even have cable.  Many of them, both in and out of town, have small TV's buried in the corner of their living room.

I don't mean in the sense of having one or two series that you're following, or maybe you own a season of a TV show on DVD.  I mean watching TV the way the common man does, flipping channels and even following a reality show or two.

TV Guide's 100 Greatest TV Moments is on TV right now.  I thought, this would be the perfect thing to watch with a group of friends.  It would be a great conversation-starter; we'd all talk about where we were when the OJ verdict came down, whether we'd even seen that I Love Lucy episode, etc.  Then I realized that most of my friends would think that watching TV about watching TV would be seen as the dumbest activity I could possibly suggest to them.

So who among you can think down to my level without getting a headache?

*looks across room at 50" Sony LCD projection TV next to Dish box receiving over 200 channels (including over 20 in HD)*

*looks at $95 bill from Dish for a month's service*

Our reality show of choice is Ultimate Fighter, though I was also rather fond of Driver X when it was on.

I have in the past, but not for a few years. I'm sure I will again sometime.

Thinking about it, I think I stopped clicking around once I went to basic cable. Netflix and iTunes help fill the void.

Regarding reality shows: I didn't watch them for a long time, but now I'm watching Project Runway. Oh well.

I watch a giant assload of TV.

Currently:

Reality shows: Treasure Hunters, Project Runway, Hell's Kitchen, Inked, and (some) Driving Force
Dramas: The Closer, Blade the Series
Food: Good Eats, Feasting on Asphalt
Comedy: Psych

I'm way behind on SG:Atlantis and SG-1-- still watching last season but recording this season. I'm 2 seasons back on BSG and haven't really started watching. Also currently watching season 2 of Arrested Development.

I have davetheinverted's old TV.

No cable, and I rarely watch anything. But then, I rarely have time to watch anything between work, WoW and housework.

OH yes. Oh oh yes.

There are a few series I go out of my way to watch: Battlestar Galactica, The Simpsons, Family Guy, and Venture Bros.. Plus, I'll watch South Park, The Daily Show, and The Colbert Report, if they're on and I'm not doing anything else. Once a month, I'll channelsurf, and end up on some VH-1 Hey-we're-still-making-fun-of-1983 type show for a while, and then feel dirty afterwards. I'm waiting for E! or VH-1 to produce a special that showcases the top twenty, "Gee, aren't movies swell," montages from Academy Awards shows of years pasts.

No reality shows for me though. Of course, there is no such thing.

Full analog cable (50+ channels) and 300GB TiVo. There was a meme recently asking what shows you watched (past & present), I had seen a fair number, but not as many as some.
