My must watch shows are sports, mostly soccer, football, and baseball/hockey when in season. The fact that I watch so much sports, makes my non-sports programming "valuable" in the sense that I rarely watch non-sports programming.

Seinfeld is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen, and I will watch re-runs whenever I catch them on.

I occasionally have news kicks, where I will watch the 24 hour news networks, but generally this only occurs after a national disaster or high speed chase on FOX news. I also have watched Imus when I woke up earlier for morning classes.

Most recently, I have been watching Charlie Rose. I've been reading The Economist a lot lately, to the point where it is such a good magazine that I look forward to spending time with it, and enjoy reading it immensely. It's hard to describe really, but it's a really rewarding experience. Anyway, Charlie Rose features no frills interviews with people in the news and media. I love the fact that the show is on PBS, and thus able to focus on content and not advertising and commercial spots.

The Economist + Charlie Rose is a superb combination for a reason that is hard to describe. I really enjoy both immensely, and find them enlightening and life bettering. I have only been reading The Economist seriously/consistently for a month, and have just started watching Charlie Rose this week, but I can feel myself becoming more cultured and informed as a result. It's a really neat feeling, and adds to the excitement that comes from experiencing the said media.

Also, on a side note, Bryce Dallas Howard was on Charlie Rose tonight, and she is quite beautiful. I had never seen or heard of her before, but wow, she's gorgeous!

I'd also like to start watching Monk, as I remember the protagonist from Wings, back when re-runs were being aired a few years ago. I believe his characters name on Wings was Antonio, and he was easily one of the funniest characters on the show.

UPDATE: I just noticed Google is hosting Charlie Rose's shows for online viewing. From what I gather, the previous day's episode is available for free, and the other episodes cost $.99 to download/watch. The link can be found HERE.
