They spend millions of dollars to produce dozens of shows each year hoping we will tune in.

I'll stick to shows actually produced by the networks, instead of syndicated programs and repeats...

By week...hourly...

ABC - 1.0
UPN - 1.0
NBC - 2.5
CBS - 0.0
WB - 0.5
FOX - 1.0

I'm mainly a repeats person and watch TV Land hours a day as well as other networks like Cartoon Network, Nick at Nite and so on. I also watch tapes and DVDs on a very regular basis.

I'm not sure about specific hours.I'm the sort of guy who tries to watch every sitcom and every reality show so I'm not going to do it by hours.Instead, I'll do it by the shows I watch REGULARY and I'm going to include HBO because....I feel like it LOL.Here we go....

ABC- 8 Simple Rules and SOMETIMES the Friday sitcoms, except for George Lopez. I also watch Jimmy Kimmel every night.

CBS- Sometimes the Monday sitcoms but that's really about it.

NBC- The Thursday sitcoms, Average Joe and The Apprentice. That's pretty much it.

FOX- American Idol, Arrested Development, The OC and Oliver Beene (when it comes back). I also watched Skin before it was cancelled

The WB- Reba and sometimes the other Friday sitcoms as well as The Surreal Life and sometimes Run of The House (when Scrubs is a rerun).

UPN- Rock Me Baby is all I watch on UPN.

PAX- Nothing.

HBO- Curb Your Enthusiasm. If they added some more sitcoms, then maybe I'd watch more because I love the style of HBO shows. I also watched Project Greenlight when it was on.

Brian · 01-23-2004, 01:32 AM

Fox and CBS. On Tuesdays I watch 24 religously. I also watch American Idol whenever it airs. On Thursdays I watch Tru Calling at 8:00, CSI at 9:00, and Without a Trace at 10:00. I also watch CSI Miami but that is usually recorded.
