I rarely watch live TV anymore, but when I do it's mostly documentaries on the History Channel, Natgeo, etc.

What I'm doing is watching some TV shows on demand... ehem... Currently watching Walking Dead, Elementary, Breaking Bad, and old shows like Rawhide, The Dick Van Dyke Show, and the Honeymooners.

Austin City Limits, every Friday night.

And Three Stooges, every Saturday night.

Sometimes there's good movies on local TV,
other times they're so old and plastic, it's awful.

Ditto.

Not long ago, if it was on the "History" channel or "Discovery" you could pretty much count on it being, at least based on some "research" or theory about something.

Now, they seem happy to compete with every other "scripted" reality show out there.

It's embarrassing now days to claim that you watch the History channel.  Too bad.

They still have some good stuff.
