I pretty much don't watch TV anymore, no.

[Anonymous No.]

I used to really love The Office and a few other comedies, but ever since I stopped buying cable, thinking "well I can always download them", I just haven't watched them at all. I still like movies in general, though. Never been a big fan of dramas like Prison Break or 24, however I am partial to Law and Order.

I used to watch the olympics, especially winter olympics stuff like figure skating and ski jumping. But now watching people perform just reminds me how much of a failure I am, and how I've never acheived anything praiseworthy (and probably never will).

I watch House and Top Gear

Nope.

I haven't had cable, satellite, etc. since 1998 or so, and I'm much more satisfied that way. I can't watch TV meant for the general public now without getting disgusted. News shows and "educational" shows are the the worst due to being chucked full of fallacies and Morton's Demons. The only program worth watching is NOVA, and even then it can be hit or miss.

For my entertainment pleasure I usually just play games, watch some anime, read a book, or browse around the tubes.

[Anonymous No.]

No, but it is not like I watch a lot of stuff, some 90/80 anime, Gamecenter CX, and recently started Katanagatari.
I want to try a Doctor Who show someday.

"Hey what are you doing?"
"Playing video games"

"What are you gonna do after that?"
"Read some comic books"

*Another actor enters*
"Hey guys I just 'Insert nerdy shit here'"

[Anonymous No.]

I used to many years ago, then I stopped completly. Watched the ocasional movie every now and then.

Recently (past few months) I started watching some TV stuff: marathoned all of Stargate 1/SGA/SGU(up to latest), Lost, BattleStar Gallactica, House, rarely the ocasional Simpson, all downloadable HDTV rips, I can't be bothered to watch any of them on TV as I don't want to keep up with TV schedules, even if I have access to various premium channels. I also recently have a way to get near-instant access(100Mbps) to BD Rips of various movies, so I may watch one or more movies per day.

I've mostly started this recent habbit because I was running out of good anime to watch, and even though I have an enormous anime backlog, I didn't really feel like watching it at that time. I don't know if the choice was that good. If I had to compare my enjoyment of anime vs tv shows, I'd say I enjoy anime a lot more per average and it usually packs more content even though it runs in less time (24min(-op/ed makes it 20-21) vs 40min), and the themes in japanese entertainment tend to be a bit more interesting to me. If you look at the majority of recent US movies, you'll see most of them tend to be action movies of some sort, even those that actually have a plot. If you look at the majority of recent japanese anime, you'll see that a lot will tend to focus on harem, slice of life, comedy and general fanservice (aside from a few serious shows). I tend to prefer 2D lolis to mindless 3D violence. Maybe I should stop wasting my time and break this recent bad habbit, and spend the time I watch pointless 3D crap working on something.

Besides South Park and the BBC (And C-SPAN, but come on, just watch the Washington Journal somedays when trolls come on, that shit's funnier than any sitcom ever.) I can't be bothered with Western TV. It came from when my father grounded me for nine weeks over something stupid like lying about a mug that I drew wasn't really mine as a joke, (For the record, he just throws money at me and hopes for the best.) and seeing the Simpsons as pure evil, (Again, I live with a moralfag of a parent, despite all the gangbang and MILF pron I found in his history.) I found compared to the Vidya, television was an even bigger waste of time.

And could someone explain all the South Park shota on pixiv for me? It has more art than many anime titles (Granted, 14 seasons is longer than 13 episodes.) Does Japan like the little boy even when the show regularly pokes fun at them? I never knew I could be so NAMBLA for the boys before. I would think Trey and Matt would have some idea of this given that they're such fucking weeaboos too.

[Anonymous No.]

I watch the Science Channel.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4809725

Nope, I was just reflecting your style of idiotic baseless assertion right back at you. If you really want to do this, go ahead and come up with some empirical facts as to why NOVA is a show for "leftist sheep."
I fail to see how Cracking the Maya Code, Absolute Zero, and many other NOVA episodes are only for people of one certain political leaning; if anything they're for people that actually care about presenting science to the general.
If I had to venture a guess, I'd say you feel that way because NOVA has done some programs on global warming, Evolution, and (un)Intelligent Design. But again, unless you can come up with some verifiable facts that are not from a pre-conceived conclusion, it's not worth listening to you. Same reason biologists don't listen to creationists, geographers don't listen to flat Earth nutters, and so on.

But anyway, that's not the point of this thread.

TV is still pretty horrible in many ways.

Used to regularly catch up on House until it became all that drama backstabbing bullshit that plagued Grey's Anatomy. I tried watching Stargate, but western sci-fi just doesn't appeal to me besides Star Wars and Star Trek. Other than that, I might see Dexter soon. Looks promising.

I used have cable TV, but then I realized that I was mainly using it for A) shows I can get for free on hulu and B) background noise. B is not worth $60 a month.

only NFL and the occasional MLB game, and maybe the history/discovery channels if I'm really bored

American TV is just as shitty as anime. Medical dramas, medical comedies, detective dramas, detective comedies and reality shows. that's about 95% of television on the major networks these days.

I try to not watch any american stuff if I can. However, sometimes a friend drags me out to the movies theater and I'm forced to watch shit.
The only series I can stand are House MD and New York special unit for the victims.
