Television:

The bane of modern civilization - maybe... but in moderation a good thing.

We watch lots of shows on PBS and a few others. We do not get Cable TV - it just seems like a way to get a few hundred more channels of pretty mediocre stuff... The last thing we need is a reason to spend more time in front of the TV (or for the kids to spend even more time in front of the TV).

Shows I/we like:

Whilst we are anything but fans of "Reality TV" (what a misplaced term) we do like "The Amazing Race" - as much for the travel locations as anything else... We like other travel shows too - though there are few good ones - Globe Trekker is probably our favorite.

I like to watch 'This Old House' and 'Hometime' as well as 'Ron Hazelton' for tips and home repair/enhancement ideas though most are repeats.

We enjoy almost all of the BBC series that are aired on PBS's 'Mystery' e.g. 'Inspector Morse', 'Inspector Linley', 'Prime Suspect' etc

We liked the series 'Alias' although - as is often the case - the last season was a bit of a stretch of the imagination. (Jumping the shark.... anyone?)

I like cooking shows - most especially 'America's Test Kitchen' but I also like 'Real Simple' and 'Yan Can Cook'

We also like to watch Ice Skating and Winter & Summer Olympics and I also like car programs such as 'Great Cars' and 'Motorweek'
