It’s been on for 7 years?

NBC is canceling The West Wing this May after 7 years. If the article didn’t tell me it’s been on for 7 years, I wouldn’t know. I’ve never seen an episode and don’t care to. I seldom if ever watch anything but sports on the big networks. Even when I’m watching a football, baseball or basketball event on one of the four (CBS, NBC, ABC, and FOX) I find I’m aggravated by the multitude of promos for this drama or that “comedy” that seem to repeat every five minutes. (The same is true for the regular commercials. Is anyone else freaked by the Burger King commercials?)

I do watch some shows that aren’t sports oriented. Friday nights on Sci Fi I watch Stargate Atlantis and Stargate SG-1. (I never got into the new Battlestar Galactica.) Weeknights I usually watch Good Eats on the Food Channel, CSI, Las Vegas on Spike, Law & Order on TNT, or Law & Order—SVU on USA. And all the while I’ll be surfing the net.

My wife is a JAG fan and she and my daughter MUST watch Lost. I don’t even know when or where they appear. From the commercials I’ve seen and from what I’ve read in the papers, I’d say I’m not really missing much.

This is the weeknight lineup at my house, too. For the record, I think Alton Brown is a genius. I do watch "Gilmore Girls" on The WB and "House" on Fox (both Tuesday nights), and "Cold Case" on CBS on Sunday night (if the football game doesn't push it past my bedtime).

Lost is the only prime-time network show I watch. So nyah. :P
