Teevee
I’ve always hated watching television, especially shows that require you to come back next week to see what happens. After getting married though, the television is on more than it ever was in my house. I mean, I used to sneak and watch Xena (mostly just to see Gabrielle and…mmm….Callisto), but that was it beyond movies.
Then I discovered HGTV and I’m almost a junkie. It’s sad, really.
Other than that and adult cartoons (South Park, King of the Hill, etc), I have a hard time watching anything else. Except Overhaulin’ on TLC. Have you ever watched that show? My wife used to shudder when I turned it on, and now she even loves it. Is it the cars? Is it the whole prank thing? Is it Courtney? I don’t know. But if you like seeing untold amounts of money being spent on a complete car rebuild hosted by a hot chick (and some guy), you’ll probably like Overhaulin’.

I’m addicted to Monster House myself.

You need a TiVo. When I see something that says “part one of two” I just mark it “Keep until I delete” and then wait and watch them both together when the second part airs.
You might like some of the stuff I’m watching. License to Grill is one. Grill porn. Just like real porn, you’ll never actually DO any of the stuff that he does there, but it is fun to watch. Cheap Seats on ESPN is pretty good too. MST3K done sports style. And of course, the oatmeal in my TiVo meatloaf, MXC. I usually have two or three episodes just sitting on the box for filler time, like when I have fifteen minutes to kill.

Junkyard Wars has always been one of my favorites. I have nowhere near the required skill to build any of that stuff, but it is, aside from sex and blowing stuff up, one of the ultimate guy fantasies.
