The History Channel, The Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel, 24, The Wire, Deadwood, Nip/Tuck, the CSI's. I occasionally watch Monster Garage if they are building something cool or if someone I know is on there. I like watching the fabrication on the biker buildoff series. American Chopper, American Hot Rod, because they are usually worth a laugh.
I rarely get to read any books. I spend most of my time working on a project. I am a sucker for some good old Carl Sagan though.
