I know a lot of you are TV haters, but you can't all be. We got basic cable + HBO on Monday. I've only had Australian cable before. Tell me whats good to watch. Sopranos, Daily Show and Colbert are already set in the DVR.

Teenagers watching less television, says report from Stats CanadaOTTAWA (CP) — Canadian teenagers are watching less TV, says a new report from Statistics Canada.
In a regular survey of television viewing habits done in fall 2004, kids aged 12 to 17 logged an average of 12.9 hours a week in front of the boob tube, down two hours from the year before.
The agency attributed the decline partly to greater Internet use.
The NHL lockout also had an impact on viewing habits that fall. With no hockey to watch, Canadian viewers spent less time not only on sports programming but on Canadian shows.
The report says sports viewing fell to 6.5 per cent from 8.2 per cent the previous year “perhaps as a result of the cancellation of the National Hockey League season.” Canadian content fell to 37.2 per cent from 40.2 during the same period.
But viewers watched TV in general for the same number of hours and it appears they replaced hockey with imported reality TV and game shows, which gained in popularity.
The numbers also show that while comedy and drama programming represented the bulk of Canadians’ viewing, close to 82 per cent of it was foreign.
The figures for Stats Canada’s television project are a joint undertaking with the CRTC and Heritage Canada with data acquired from the Bureau of Broadcast Measurement (BBM).

Smallville, I forgot about that.
I never season-pass design or Discovery-channel-type shows, they always end up conflicting with something.

oh I just low-priority them and then they're a happy surprise when the conflicting show is in reruns. Plus they repeat all the time so you usually catch them sooner or later.
Seriously, HOW IT'S MADE, it's the fucking best:
