I seldom watch TV news (unless there is some big event), but am
masochistic enough to drink my morning tea listening to hours of
National Public Radio... national, USA, and then the BBC newshours.
About TV... anything that has canned laughter I do not watch. But
there are a number of really outstanding shows with excellent writing
and stories. Unfortunately, most of them are in a soap opera
format... that is, they are continueing so one cannot miss even one
program! And then there are the Newsgroups discussing them!
I didn't watch TV at all for years, then only X-Files (and boy was
that a bust... they ended without giving any answers to the ongoing
mystery, but had great one-episode tales interspersed). Now I'm
retired and waste my evenings. I love "LOST" (on ABC) and "4400" (on
satallite USA) and then HBO has some wonderful series. "Deadwood",
"Six Feet Under", "Carnivale" (now ended ... boo hoo), and of course
the infamous "Sopranos".
