I love to watch cable in the evenings. There are certain channels I enjoy the most. I love the History Channel especially when they have docs on about Egyptology and ancient cities like Rome, Greece, Egypt, etc. Then I enjoy NatGeo(National Geographic). Lastnight there was a documentary on the brain and three men who were savonts(sp). Very interesting! Also the BIO channel is always having something on it like Ghost Hunters or the new Celebrity Ghost Stories. Fun stuff! And lastly the TCM and AMC is wonderful. Old movies with actors like Burt Lancaster in The Birdman of Alcatraz or Barbara Stanwyck in Double Indemnity. I do enjoy a good vintage movie. I remember back in the late 70's when I worked at the telephone company and there was this one young guy that always came to work looking like death warmed over. I set by him one day and asked him what was up. He said he stayed up all night watching cable. It was new in the area then. What are your favorite channels and programs?

yes i do like cable...sometimes, there ARE days when it feels like im going through 800 channels of nothing, but it's not often. it just happens once in awhile. i like having tv land, the channel dedicated to all the old shows, and i like the lifetime movies, but they can make you so sad sometimes and i like being able to have free music channels! it's nice to have when i want to exercise at home.

Most of my very favorite shows are on the cable channels. I watch all the repeats of Cold Case and Without a Trace on TNT, the house hunting shows, My First Place and Property Virgins on HGTV and several of the cooking channel shows too. I like the crime solving shows on Tru TV and watch Nancy Grace and Jane Velez Mitchell for the current crimes. There are very few "must watch" programs for me on the regular channels, but I do like Big Bang Theory and The Good Wife.

I love watching cable television and spend several hours each day doing just that. I like some of the same things as you when it comes to my favorite channels. I LOVE the History Channel and watch it almost everyday, especially when it has to do with American or World History. I also like the National Geographic channel but don't watch it that much, unless I know that there will be something on that I like. In addition to those, I watch a lot of news shows and sports. Another channel that I have become addicted to is the Home and Garden channel. My wife and I watch it daily; our favorite show on there is House Hunters. It's addicting.

The channels you mentioned are considered extended basic and I had all those stations removed last year. I would rather take the extra $75 a month and use it for something else. I still to get WGN and TBS and the CSPAN and weather channel plus my local channels. I have basic which is $22 a month and extended basic is alittle over $95 a month. St. Louis Missouri is one of the highest in cable rates. sadhappy


non on cartoons on basic

I really like cable because I enjoy the wide variety of choice it gives you above standard TV. Living in the UK, we have different channels to you guys across the pond, but some channels often provide international programmes. My current favourite is Dexter, I'm really digging it atmthumbup

Usually if there is nothing on that I am not interested in (very rarely), I just flick over to the film channels and see whats on. Yes the films often repeat themselves a lot, but there is a good range of very top-quality filmshappy

in the era of cable channel we witness many good things that give momentum to our day to day experiences..but there are many negative effects on our social life also, one, the news channels present news as cheap commodities for cheap popularity and maximizing profit,,there is some nasty competition among themselves also in the sphere of breaking news,,so we should watch the news channels as facts presenting medium not in a modified manner rather in a realistic one..second,,some people are addicted of watching some specific serials through which the channels try to kill the valuable time of viewers and to carry forward the profit oriented commercial campaigns,,so we should watch serials as time pass or for gaining some valuable things,and stay away from addictive nature...

in my case i like to watch Discovery channel, National Geography, Animal Planet,,as these channels are very much useful in the directions of acquiring general knowledge as well as entertainment...
