Sorry if this is elitist, but I watch mostly the History Channel and History International. Weekends I watch Book TV on CSPAN, and end up buying too many books. I watch way too many history documentaries, especially stuff like In Search of the Trojan War. I also like Antiques Roadshow and British mysteries, especially Miss Marple, Lovejoy, Poirot, and Cadfael.
Shows I have never seen include Seinfeld, Friends, Ali McBeal, Sex and the City, The Sopranos, Thirty Something, West Wing, and many more.
One of my goals is to have my non-fiction book on the Pennsylvania coal region featured on Book TV.
I am a baseball fan, especially the Red Sox these days,so ESPN, Fox Sports, and local team coverage in season.
