Yes, you missed Keith Olbermann on MSNBC, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert on the Comedy Channel and Bill O'Reilly lying on 20/20 about the Al Qaeda targeting him. (He's very important)

Season 3 of Deadwood. That is some damn good drama there. And next week is season 3 of Battlestar Galactica. Other than that, nothing really. If it wasn't for those shows and Rome coming back, I'd cancel my cable subscription.

I rarely watch TV. In my opinion, you did not miss anything of value. I go to movies or rent them and watch them on my TV. I do not like the regular programming or the cable/satellite programs. I do not get news from TV either. I like to read news online and I read books from the library. I can also get movies from the library.

guess you haven't read the news or read internet news either then, or you would know tv does not exist any longer. yeah, that's right. you heard me. no more tv. tv is no more. you can still purchase tv's and use them though to watch dvd movies but no more vcr's or tv's as you use to know it.

my fave's are: desperate housewives, dog, the bounty hunter,
chris angel- mind freak , cops (yes, i watch and love cops),

The same horror stories in the news, reality shows where celebrities are trying to be something they are not, and endless commercials. You are not missing anything.
