Boob Tube
I’ve seen other people do this online, mostly TV critics, whose opinions people actually care about, but since I spent some time working this out, I figured I’d share. That’s what the internet’s for, right? New shows are underlined.
Monday:
8:00: How I Met Your Mother, CBS
8:30: Is a wasteland. Snack Break!
9:00: Heroes, NBC
Tuesday:
Wow, what a dead day. Tuesday used to be my main TV night (I miss you, Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars!) I may give Reaper (CW, 9:00) a shot because Ray Wise is the devil, and if anyone can play the devil, it’s Leland Palmer. I guess I could watch House, but I am pretty much over that.
EDIT: Actually, I realized I have class and my dorky school reading group on Tuesday nights and I’m not enthusiastic about either of those options enough to actually seek them out if I’m not going to home anyway.
Wednesday:
8:00: Either ANTM (CW) or Pushing Daisies (ABC) if the latter turns out to be any good. So probably ANTM.
9:00: Bionic Woman (NBC)
10:00: Dirty Sexy Money (ABC)
Thursday:
8:00: In my only conflict of the week, Ugly Betty (ABC) is up against 30 Rock (NBC) from 8:30-9, I will probably find an alternate way to watch Ugly Betty, since I like 30 Rock more and Alex likes it as well.
9:00: The Office (NBC)
9:30: Scrubs (NBC)
…and Mad Men, until it finishes, which airs either really early or at weird, random times in my market (AMC)
Shows I will probably (ahem) find ways to watch, though I do not actually get them on my TV:
Dexter
Project Runway (Which I hear isn’t starting until November!)
Weekends are for movies (and homework!) (and Battlestar, when it comes back in–sigh–January); I should probably start watching that Friday Night Lights show everyone keeps talking about at some point though.

WOW. That’s a lot of regular tv. I watch BSG and Lost, or I will, when they come back in January or February or something. Until then, I sometimes watch Miami Ink episodes on Tuesday nights if I am feeling sloth-like after my training. And I catch the occasional What to Not to Wear on my days off. Otherwise I just watch a few minutes of Friends, Seinfeld or 7th Heaven here and there, when I have a few minutes to kill between students or the like. I keep thinking I should cancel my cable and save myself the cash. Everything’s on the internet in a week anyway.

Yeah, I really have no life. :)
I doubt I will keep watching all the new shows, unless by some miracle they all turn out to be good and they all don’t get cancelled. I also am known to do brainless work stuff like typing up notes while watching TV.
I’ve wondered about giving up cable, but for whatever reason I like watching stuff when it’s actually on, and I would miss Turner Classic Movies, which often shows stuff you can’t find elsewhere.

Grey’s Anatomy and Lost. Not to say I dont waste a lot of time doing stupid things, I just dont seem to watch lot of TV.
