I'm not really much of a TV fan either, I don't even think I could make a list.

My wife and I were watching Extreme Makeover: Home Edition pretty religiously, as well, until the last couple of weeks. We just haven't felt like it lately. That two hour special was just a little too much. We taped it, but never watched it. I'm just afraid that with the occasional two-hour special and then the "How Did They Do That?" special on Monday nights that ABC is coming dangerously close to pulling what they did with "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?"

Oh, and I do watch CSI:NY as well. We also started watching Numb3rs on Sunday. Wasn't too bad.

Isn't that the show where they show people doing plastic surgeries (cant spell)? Perhaps the network should do a 2 hour special, having the persons who got plastics surgeries and send them to Somalia, and in their hands should be the bill for the surgeries, let's say, 10 thousand dollars. And then they talk to the starving people saying stuff like "You see this cute face of mine? it cost 5 thounsand dollars. you could buy food for your whole village for a month with five thousand dollars, but no, I had to look prettier than my neighbor, I had to look like that TV star I admire so much."

That's the plain old Extreme Makeover. EM: Home Edition is where they take a deserving family and effectively tear down their rat trap of a house and build them a new one in 7 days. It's hosted by Ty Pennington of Trading Spaces fame.

Speaking of plastic surgery, I'm also a Nip/Tuck fan. When it's on. Currently they're between seasons.

Yeah, whatever. They've been doing this for years and I've never known anybody who actually did it.

They wind up trying to schedule it for some week in which something great is supposed to happen on one of my favorite shows. I know that it wouldn't have the same effect on a weekend night or during the off season, obviously. But if you think I'm giving up my chance to see some potentially key plot points that may happen during that week, you're off your rocker.

Between seasons sucks. Especially when the season finale was a cliff hanger.
