Personally, i do not watch much television - Currently working for the E!/Style/G4 Network (so yeah, i get PAID to watch television for 8 hours a day!) & have found myself enjoying Chelsea Lately, The Soup, Unbeatable Banzuke, Ninja Warrior, Split Ends (makes me want to go and finish up my cosmo hours from eons ago!), Clean House, & Cheaters. Love Moment of Truth, America's Got Talent and Last Comic Standing. Classic television which (for the most part is no longer on) includes: ABFAB, Arrested Development, Family Guy, Fear Factor, I Love Lucy, Invader Zim, Sid & Marty Krofft, Sex & the City, The Munsters, The Simpsons, South Park, Starved, Twilight Zone, The Young Ones. Other than that, i tend to turn on Law & Order, Wife Swap & Super Nanny (Don't ask why, i'm still trying to figure that one out). (No cable; T.V. on DVD from time to time. Now addicted to YouTube; it's so much easier to pull up YouTube than to pull out boxes of old dusty VHS tapes!);) *** AbFab Vogue
