What are your must watch shows on cableTV?

i've never had cable tv. gasp!

my wife hates tv and i never really watch that much anyway so we always thought it was crazy to spend 40-60$ a month on cable.

now i might have access to some steeply reduced priced cable.

what should i watch?

1. I usually watch only 10 hours of tv a week so i try to be selective.

2. there's not a single show i watch with regularity. the last time my wife and i watched a show together every week was the X-Files and early years of ally mcbeal. (both eye candy treats)

3. When i do watch i watch: sports!, the simpsons, married with children, king of the hill, nova, frontline, elimidate/fifth-wheel/blinddate,. i used to watch homicide. ER scares me. i also really enjoy some cooking shows.

thanks for any recommendations.

Simpsons is a definite.

Only other show I watch religiously is Six Feet Under

The Shield on FX is pretty good, pushes the limits of television little further.

If you're gonna get prime cable and have to choose a between the movie channels, then go for HBO of course.

Project Greenlight
Curb Your Enthusiasm
Sopranos
Six Feet Under
THE WIRE (man anyone who hasn't seen it has to get into this show)

Plus they got K Street and Carnival on the horizon.

Yeah, personally I think one NEEDS cable. Besides the simpsons and few other select shows network T.V. can be launched into space for all I care.

(Oh, and I agree with Pellaz, adult swim on sunday night is a must).

Law and Order reruns on TNT. Thanks, Ted Turner!

The Shield is also pretty damn quality, adult swim is gold...

Surfing becomes an activity in and of itself, even if there's nothing on, so long as there are enough channels.

On Cable? I'm a huge fan of the Monday night lineup on Discovery. Monster House, Monster Garage and American Chopper are quality.

I'll third American Chopper.

Gotta have HBO for the Soprano's, tape Sex & th City for your wife and fastforward for the boobies, they have had several good fights on lately as well. They still show Band of Brothers every now and then as well.

You can always find something of interest on the History channel, ESPN, FoxSports and TBS has the Braves.

I'll have to concur on Discovery Monday Night....

Monster House; Monster Garage; American Chopper

The Dead Zone is alright, but you can't miss Monk

Other than selected cartoons on Cartoon Network the only other show I watch religiously would have to The Daily Show....occasionally Colin Quinn's show is funny...

Family Business on Showtime is a good "reality" show about a porn producer.

Cold Case Files on A&E is cool if you are into detective and police stuff.

Same with Forensic Files on court TV.

If you are into celebrity sightings, Celebrities Uncensored on E! is pretty funny.

I record most of the stuff on my PVR Dish receiver and watch it later.

I love the Daily Show with John Stewart. Insomniac is good too.

Also, as people have mentioned, The Simpsons, Adult Swim, Seinfeld, The Shield, and Forensic Files are all quality shows. But if ER scares you, Forensic Files may not be for you.
