Cables rubbish :(

sky digital with all the movie channels is good, i watch quite a few of them in the day, discovery home and lesuire is possibley the best channel with such delights as Location Location Location :p i watch e4 quite a bit, the cooking channels and the documentary channels. Cause i'm oh so cool.

Abd basically everything Keizo said is what most people watch.

Okay to be a bit clearier

Sky One has new Malcolm in the Middle on at 7pm on Sundays

It also repeats quite often

http://www.skyone.co.uk/programmes/malcolm/

I love it because it represents everything that is good in The Simpsons smashed into a live action TV show. It's witty, laugh out loud funny and I've never seen an episode I came away from without a smile on my face.

Deadwood
http://www.skyone.co.uk/programme/pgeProgramme.aspx?pid=4

Don't know when it's on at the moment but this is the single best drama of the last few years. It's the wild west told by Noam Chomsky with Mamet suppling the dialogue. It says c**t more times than OZ and has Lovejoy stabbing a man in the eye

Might be helpful for BlackArab if people wanted to say why they recommended certain shows. Especially if he's been in the cable wilderness for so long

Sunday and Thursday I'm glued to Sky One (me and my boyfriend have no life!)

Anyway, best programmes in my opinion are ...

Las Vegas (Thurs at 8) - about a load of folk who work in a casino. It's kinda stupid cos they only work in a casino but act more like the police. But it's quite funny.

Cold Case (Thurs at 9) - About police in America who solve old cases that have been closed. I LOVE this programme.

Rescue Me (Thurs at 10) - Dennis Leary stars in this and its brilliant. About a group of NY firemen after September 11th. It's really funny at some bits but can be sad as well.

The Simpsons is on all the time but new episodes are usually on at 6.30 on Sunday.

Also on Sundays is Oliver Beane (although I actually think this might have finished now), Malcolm In the Middle, 24 and Nip/Tuck.

Another bonus is that with E4 stuff like the OC and Desperate Housewives are repeated about 10 times throughout the week.

If you're sad like me you can also watch Newlyweds which seems to be on MTV all the time (although not as much as bloody crappy Pimp My Ride!)

Hope this helps, sorry the descriptions are so rubbish :)

I love ITV 3 cos it has three great shows

LA Law
The Practise
and Chicago Hope

All old programmes but all good ones, ...the practise is just the best!!!

The 30 second crossover between Homicide: Life on the Streets and Chicago Hope is still one of my favourite tv moments of all time - that and the first time I saw the Daleks!
