Good non-cable TV...is there such a thing?! - 01-23-05

Hi, I'm Kalideoscope...and I don't have cable.

*laugh* Well, I have rabbit ears, which entitles me to exactly seven channels. I get ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, the WB...

My question is this: Since I'm currently working days...is there anything cool to watch at night on my suck-ass but workable television situation?

You can look at it as a metaphor for the fleeting nature of human life, or just chalk it up to my being a sick, bloodthirsty monster. Either way, it's all the same.

yeah, I don't have cable either. It all depends what you're into I suppose. I like CSI, Lost, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, NCIS, & Medical Investigation.

CSI is definitely worth watching. CSI:Miami I watched a couple episodes of, but just didn't get into it, the actors don't give me any reason to give a fuck. CSI:NY has been fair thus far, but the original series is still far and away the best.

If I have nothing else to do, I'll watch Fox for "That 70s Show" reruns and "The Simpsons," but aside from that, no, there really isn't anything good to watch. Network television is inundated with the same old sitcoms and the hell of "reality" television...

i think CSI has just enough character development over the seasons to keep me coming back... they hint at everything and make you put it together. Honestly, that's all im there for. If I were interested in hi-tech forensics with no (interesting) character development, I'd watch Crossing Jordan.

check out "LOST" and of course "Alias" on Wednesdays on ABC, if you get UPN, check out "Veronica Mars" on Tuesdays, Thursdays is "The O.C." and "Point Pleasant" on Fox, they're the secret pleasure noone says they watch, just like "Desperate Housewives" on Sunday on ABC.

"LOST" and "Alias" are the best shows on tv. Make time to see them. "Veronica Mars" I watch just cuz I think the main chick is cute, and the show isn't that bad for it being on UPN. "Point Pleasant" has a good basis, chick has 666 marked into her eye, she's the spawn of Satan and makes alot of bad shit happen to people, but the writing is rather cheesy. Its only been on for 2 weeks, hopefully it gets better. "The O.C." is a lot better version of 90210 and "Desperate Housewives", well fuck, its an even better version of 90210 for an older crowd. Like I said, they're guilty pleasures you never admit to watching.
