I don't watch much TV at all - I H A T E commercials!!!! But I do like a few shows:
Seinfeld, Wheel of Fortune (I know it's cheesy but I like solving the puzzles - I could make money on that show!), Frazer (the occasiional high-brow humor just KILLS me), Masterpiece Theatre, The Weather Channel (I got addicted to it for awhile).
There were some really great cartoons around when I was a kid - before they got stupid and "pc" in the seventies. A few of my favs were: Rocky and Bullwinkle, Heckle and Jeckle, Woody Woodpecker and Tom Terrific (hardly anyone remembers Tom Terrific. If anyone remembers the name of the villan, PLEASE tell me. I've been trying to remember that for YEARS!) . . . I found it! The villian was Crabby Appleton: "My name is Crabby Appleton, I'm rotten to the core, I do a bad deed every day, and sometimes three or four. I can't stand fun for anyone, I think good deeds are sappy, I laugh with glee, it pleases me, when everyone's unhappy!'" hehehe. But it was Tom Terrific that I loved. He would change into things to save his Mighty Dog Manfred the Wonder Dog from the villianous Crabby Appleton. Transfiguration at it's finest!
