"Struck" By Boredom Yet? I'm Not!
Jamie Hector of The Wire courtesy HBO
Apparently there's nothing on TV these days, but my TV is almost always on. Of course I've been watching shows on DVD, HD DVD and Blu-ray!
Here are some things I've watched in the past few weeks:
October Road
The Wire
Tom and Jerry Tales
Swamp Thing
The Unit
Scrubs
South Park
The O.C.
Prison Break
I love TV-on-DVD. So, what are you watching now that there's virtually nothing on TV due to the WGA strike?

At first I finished Buffy for the third time, which I had started rewatching during the summer. Now I'm rewatching all of LOST from the beginning, leading up to the fourth season premiere.
And I'm also giving One Tree Hill a shot via Netflix. Not great, not not nearly as terrible as Roush and Ausiello would make it out to be.

I am watching 6 weeks worth of my shows recorded while I was in Australia. FNL, Men in Trees, Grey's Anatomy, Brothers and Sisters, Desperate Housewives, Pushing Daisies, Chuck, Bones, Cold Case, Without a Trace, Supernatural, ER. Glad I have 2 DVRs; both were filled when I got back. So I have plenty to watch for the time being. And when I'm finished with those I have a pile of TV on DVDs stacking up. Something to do on these cold Pittsburgh nights.

We're watching "Battlestar Galactica." I remember the campy original, so I had stayed away from the new version, but our son was watching episodes last Christmas and my husband enjoyed them. It's taken us this long to get the mini-series and first season (son had loaned them out), but now we're hooked.

You guys are watching some great stuff.
Halohead, I'm jealous of your trip to Australia. I was there back in '99, and left a list of shows for my brother to record for me. I came back to a stack of VHS tapes (oh man, VHS!), all properly labeled with the names of the shows, and episode numbers. I was gone during the premiere of Family Guy, but I had the foresight to put it on the list of shows for him to record. DVRs make it a lot easier to go away and ensure all your stuff records!

I'm watching Psych right now. And from netflix, I just started watching my name is earl and I've been watching season 1 of the x-files.
I recently bought all 3 seasons of arrested development (got those yesterday) and both seasons of carnivale. I think I'll watch one of those next. Or maybe Buffy or angel again. Or Firefly or Freaks and Geeks, something. I usually am watching a few different series at a time.

I watched Dexter this past weekend and I bought all three seasons of Arrested Development (haven't seen any yet, but the price was too good to pass up), so that's on the list now too.
Like Leah, I am usually watching more than one series at once- I am partway through Angel, Roswell, How I Met Your Mother & Veronica Mars right now. Wonderfalls is due a rewatch soon too...

I am also watching Chicago Hope (S1) via hulu.
