Some of my favorites are the Office, My name is Earl, Chappelle Show, One Tree Hill, Entourage, Daily Show, It's always sunny in Philadelphia, Ali G, My Wife and Kids, Scrubs, Weeds, CSI Miami and New York, Law and Order and SVU, anything about nature and animals, the History,Discovery,and National Geographic channels, C-Span(boring, I know), Las Vegas

Heroes:
Jesus, Huey Newton, single parents(that care), Dave Chappelle, Martin Luther King Jr., those who are willing to sacrifice of themselves for the benefit of others. Its a rare thing and people who do that make the world a better place.
