Since the summer, I have set some boundaries for myself concerning work. I no longer work nights. I shut down my computer after usually after I put the kids to bed between 7:30 & 8:00pm. My husband works nights and goes to bed around 6:30pm, so I have the whole house to myself after everyone is in bed. It is sooooo nice!
I, often times, watch TV before I go to bed. I love to flip channels and what I noticed is that I usually flip to the same 5 or 10 channels. And I thought about how interesting that is. I wonder if it is just because I am a creature of habit or maybe other people actually do the same thing? I used to scroll through every channel, but now I have all of my favorite channel numbers memorized and I just click on them.
Here is a list of my favorite TV channels:
1. Discovery Channel – 40
2. Travel Channel – 64
3. TLC – 69
4. A&E – 33
5. QVC – 06
6. History Channel – 72
7. Fox – 5
8. PBS
Here is a list of my favorite TV shows:
Sitcoms: Seinfield and the Office
1 Hour Shows: House, CSI, CSI Miami, NCIS
Nature & Travel: Deadliest Catch, Bizarre Foods, Globe Trekkers
Real Life Documentary Shows: I like any of them on TLC about all the people with the unbelievable health issues. My latest favorite is “I Didn’t Know I was Pregnant” Did you ever see that one? I think I will need to write a whole separate blog post on it. So crazy!
Real Life Mystery / Murder / Drama: 48 Hours, The First 48, there are more – but my mind went blank… LOL

Currently on Sunday nights I watch Extreme Home Makeover (when I can) and Desperate Housewives on ABC. On Monday nights I watch Heroes on NBC. On Tuesday nights I watch the new 90210 on CW. On Thursday nights I watch The Office (and I used to watch My Name is Earl until the rudely canceled it, lol) on NBC.
I also love The Dealiest Catch, Operation Repo, The Real World, and Ace of Cakes.
I used to watch Life on Wednesday nights on NBC but they canceled it this season. They also canceled a really great show a few years back just after one season called The Black Donnellys which I really loved. Fox also aired a show called Drive a few years ago which was canceled during the first season. I also love Canterbury’s Law on Fox a few years ago which was canceled too.

I too am a creature of habit. My faves are:
The Office, CSI, NCIS, House, Numbers, What not to Wear, and Top Chef. I also love American Idol when it’s airing. I don’t watch a whole lot of TV, but when I do those are the shows I choose.

My favorite channel (when I had cable) was Food Network, then MSNBC, CNN, BBCNEWS, Lifetime, and ABC Family. I’m a huge TV addict, when I have cable, so I guess it’s a good thing I don’t have it right now. I have a hard time watching those medical shows, they tend to gross me out…or completely entrance me
I would love to stop writing at 7:30-8, but it’s not likely that it’s goign to happen anytime soon.

love the cartoon!
I like some of the channels you already listed (History Channel, PBS, TLC). I also like TVOne (reruns of Amen, Living Single/also like original program Unsung…which is sort of like Behind the Music), ABC (LOST..need I say more?!), Oxygen/Hallmark (reruns of Golden Girls), NBC (Dateline), FOX (Animation Domination on Sundays), Cartoon Network (Adult Swim), TBS (reruns of Seinfeld, Family Guy, Friends, The Office, Everybody Loves Raymond). I used to watch shows like Snapped, 48 Hours Hard Evidence, Cold Case Files, but now I get the creeps thinking about the sickos out there.
I have seen I Didn’t Know I was Pregnant…craziness!
I think I watch too much tv.
