Omni says
Wow. I’ll be able to completely ignore NBC at that point.
Michel Daw says
Ummm Nooo.. Chuck!!
Bruce says
Wow! Until I saw the schedule, I hadn’t realized that the only NBC show that I watch is Chuck.
KeiranHalcyon says
Wow! Until I saw the schedule, I hadn’t realized that I don’t watch anything on NBC.
Jason P says
Is Monday March 1st the season premier of Chuck? I wanted to start watching it again. The only other show I can say I am going to watch is Celebrity Apprentice (although I prefered it when it wasnt celebrities). I will be watching the premiers of those new shows to check them out.
Gazerbeam says
Jason, bubbula, Chuck is already back. Premiered Sunday and Monday of this past week. There are three eps out there on hulu for your viewing pleasure 🙂
Indiana Jim says
I already don’t watch NBC. I haven’t seen Season 2 of Chuck so I can’t watch Season 3. That’s just the way it is.
NBC – The most irrelevant network on television.
I hope to god FOX puts Conan on at 11:30
Robin says
Yup, just Chuck for me, too. I seem to remember watching NBC all the time in high school. Where did all their good programming go?
Chris From Poland says
Trauma and Law And Order both start on March 8, only the “8” and the “)” turned into a smiley in the aricle :-).
The only reason I’m watching Trauma is because of the BSG composer Bear McCreary. The same reason I’ll be watching Human Target.
Kyle Nin says
So, in other words, nothing to watch (for me anyway).
VyseN1 says
NBC has three shows I watch. “Chuck”, “The Office”, and “30 Rock”. The bottom network for me is CBS, I only watch one show on that network, “The Big Bang Theory”.
For those that aren’t watching Chuck, all I have to say is that you are missing out big time.
Kyle Nin says
NBC and CBS are both the bottom for me. “Heroes” on NBC and “Numb3rs” on CBS. Although, next fall that may not be the case.
Arkle says
Re: NBC, I can remember the days when nearly every show I watched was on NBC or a cable channel co-owned by whoever owned NBC that week. This is still somewhat true, as I have Psych, SG-U, and Caprica that I watch, but as for NBC proper, I now only watch Heroes and SVU. I don’t even watch regular Law & Order anymore, after having been an L&O fanboy for 12 or 13 years.
Actually come to think of it, I hardly watch any TV at all anymore compared to just two or three years ago.
NBC: Heroes, SVU
SyFy: SG-U, Caprica
USA: Psych
CBS: CSI, CSI Miami
MSNBC: Countdown, The Rachel Maddow Show, sometimes The Ed Show
BBC America: Doctor Who, Torchwood, sometimes Graham Norton
Cartoon Network: Family Guy repeats, Robot Chicken, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Boondocks.
That may seem like a lot, but like I said, compared to how a few years ago where my whole life practically revolved around TV…
Kyle Nin says
Not that it’s a contest, but I can outdo you:
CBS: “Numb3rs”
NBC: “Heroes”
ABC: “Castle”, “Lost”, “Better Off Ted”, “V”
FOX: “24”, “Fringe”, “Human Target”, “Dollhouse”
The CW: “Smallville”, “Supernatural”
USA: “Burn Notice”, “Psych”
SF: “Eureka”, “Warehouse 13”, “Sanctuary”, “Stargate Universe”, “Caprica”
TNT: “Leverage”
BBCA: “Doctor Who”, “Torchwood”
Arkle says
22 hours worth versus 14 and a half? If we’re going by who watches less TV, than I win. 😉
Kyle Nin says
Actually, I was going by who watches more.
VyseN1 says
Guess I’ll join the fun.
ABC: “Flash Forward” ( I may stop watching soon though), “Lost”, and “V”
CBS: “The Big Bang Theory”
NBC: “Chuck”, “The Office”, “30 Rock”
Fox: “24”, “House”, “Fringe”, and “Dollhouse”
USA: “Burn Notice”, “Psych”
Comedy Central: “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart”, and “The Colbert Report”
Sci-fi: “Stargate Universe”, “Warehouse 13”, “Caprica”, “Sanctuary”, and “Eureka”
Discovery Channels: “Mythbusters”, and “Sci-Fi Science”
BBCA: “Doctor Who”, “Torchwood”
Syndicated: “Legend of the Seeker”
22 hours, wow! lol
Summer Brooks says
I think my full list might scare people, or call for an intervention for me 🙂
Maybe I’ll just put together a list of all the shows I watched in 2009 and blog it somewhere. It’s probably longer than it looks because of all the 12-13 episode seasons for shows on Discovery Networks or History Channel.
Huh… there’s no scifi my TiVo top 10 season passes. How’d that happen?
lows says
out of all of that, we only watch two shows. And people wonder why I wait until the dvd’s come out before getting involved in a show.
Tim
lows says
okay three, didn’t see mythbusters until just now.
Tim
VyseN1 says
oops, I forgot the premium channels! 😀
Showtime: Dexter
HBO: True Blood, Real Time with Bill Maher
Kyle Nin says
I can’t afford to wait for the DVD sets to watch TV shows. Not like I could a few years ago.
Arkle says
Vyse; I don’t get any of the premium channels, but I get the Real Time podcast. It’s audio only so I miss a lot of the visual gags, but still…
shane says
What is this “Network” of which you speak. I watch much of what you mentioned and I only fly one airline.
