Television
we don't have cable, so television watching is limited. I love the Office, LOST, and Battlestar Galactica (yes, I am confessing to being a big nerd...). We rent HBO series a lot: Six Feet Under, the Sopranos, Deadwood, etc. Other than that, any neato Public Television programs, and in place of T.V. I love to listen to NPR.
