What's your favorite cable/ satellite/ broadcast TV channel?
My Native name, as you've probably guessed by now, is Watches Too Much TV. I prefer the Science Channel, the National Geographic Channel or whatever is the Serial Killer Channel (ie running true crime) at the moment (Court TV, A&E, sometimes Bio, Discovery, or History International). If I had to pick one, it would be Science. I'm a geek.

You?

7. But you're supposed to throw your TV out the window during the opening
credits! (Gives a new meaning to "I don't see how you watch this" anyway.:D)

3. A&E for Cold Case Files; Food Network for Good Eats,
Unwrapped, The Secret Life Of, Iron Chef America and others; and GSN for its daytime and weekend morning lineup of classic game shows (and OH how I miss the old Sunday Night In Black And White lineup!).

5. I have to caveat that I gave up TV quite a long time ago
but before that, we had satellite and I loved the Wisdom Channel. It was a religious channel for those of us who were in the "other" category, whether that was Buddhist, Wiccan, New Age, Etc. I thought it was so cool.

9. TVLand. Don't get to watch much.
I'd love to start watching the History Channel (but is it still all WWII all the time?) and some of the other ones...sigh.

But watching MacGyver and Highway to Heaven? Aww yeah!

14. Discovery Wings became the Military History Channel, so History has
maybe ramped down their Hitlery Channel reputation a bit. Still, as I type this they are waxing nostalgic about FDR, so they're still on that era a lot. I like the History Channel and used to watch it all the time and mainly switched to Science because a) I had seen most of History's programming and b) Science doesn't go to infomercials at 4 AM. A little of falling asleep to a channel and then being awakened by somebody yelling at you about opportunities to make money buying repos goes a long way.

10. TCM...
If limited to one.

I do like the Discovery Channels and the History Channels. Countdown to Disaster on Nat'l Geo has been pretty neat the two incidents I saw(Amtrak and Air Alaska).

13. The American version is great
I can't watch the Orient way b/c I hate the dubbing. It so annoys me.
