What are yours?

My wife and I have gone form a fairly consistent 8-13 hours of prime
time viewing per week to 0-1 hour per week. Wasn't intentional. Fist
we lot our dish serviec, but still kep up with hsows watching online.
Now it's kida just petered away.
We've also gone from maybe 5 or 6 rented movies per month to maybe
one every three months.

Anyone else ever have such a marked decrease?.


Not counting football...

we watch Jeapardy, House (still relatively strong...and who doesn't want
to simply say the things they are thinking the way he does), CSI (the
orginal recipe Las Vegas version only...which we feel is starting to fade)
and Cold Case (which always amazes me with its then-to-now transitions and
period music) in real time.

I tivo a bunch of stuff (currently daily show, colbert report, craig
ferguson, CBS Sunday morning, how its made, bizarre foods, south park,
futurama, simpsons, some favorite movies).

live vs tivo for us depends on what we feel like. We usually start with many
series we want to watch in September that peter out by 5 or 6 weeks in..

Right now, we watch or tivo:
* House - the medical side is iffy and predictable, mostly (weird disease, 4
misdiagnoses, one that is stopped just as someones kidney was about to
explode, House-epiphany solution). But the interaction and the character of
House keeps this as must-see. And once in a while, like the Amber death
show, they throw in a medical curveball
* Heroes (losing interest. Which is to say, I have lost it, but my wife
still likes it)
* Life - like it - not at masterpiece level, but entertaining
* Life on Mars - also like. The NYC flavor and different episodic storylines
make it different enough from the UK version to enjoy as a separate show.
And I remember 1973 NYC, so it's like a slice of my life, which other :back
then" shows (Happy Days, for instance), never were
* Primeval on BBCAmerica
* Pushing Up Daisies. Loved it last year, starting to fade
* True Blood. Freaky. But we could lose this without caring a lot. If there
is a good Sunday night game, we would tivo and watch when we could
* Sarah Connor
* Prison Break - I thought it lost it last year, but my wife likes, and I
sort of half watch it. I watch a lot of stuff with a book or laptop in my
hands
* also watch for the wife: Gray's Anatomy, Private Practice

that's 11 shows, and 8 start with the letter H, L or P. Not sure what means,
except maybe ''HeLP''

and once they come back in new seasons, DrWho and Torchwood on BBCAmerica
as well

already lost interest:
Raise the Bar (too many things on Monday anyway)
The Mentalist (maybe if it gets to reruns)
