Can’t remember the last time I actually sat down and turned the damn thing on looking for a specific show to watch or attempt to keep up to date on.

I watch Southpark reruns, Nazi & Alien conspiracy theory shows, and DVR the Powerblock on Spike. Wife does Pawn Stars on the DVR, & Storage Wars occasionally.

The Newsroom. It’s only ~6 episodes in. So far, I find it extremely well written, except for the fact that it’s basically an outlet for Aaron Sorkin to burn the tea party and fulfill his political agenda. I \<3 Jeff Daniels. Oh and you have to be at the very least, somewhat up to date with politics and international/national issues. It’s not a show for dumb people. ---

I really like the newsroom too but I figured coming from me they’d just call it liberal propaganda. Would be nice to get a real news show in real life though.
