I was just wondering that myself recently. I haven't watched network TV (ABC,NBC,CBS) in over 25 years.

Yes, I watch America's Got Talent, MasterChef, The Masked Singer and I used to watch Young Sheldon and Big Bang Theory.

There are a few evening game shows I will watch if I catch them.

Good question. The only one I can say that I watch is Hells Kitchen, but that's only when the completed season is available to stream/download.
Amazing. That's it. Network TV used to be such a focal point of my childhood, and young adult years. Now I watch more programming on PBS.

Yes, I watched CBS show Evil. I really loved that show. Unfortunately, the last season just ended the series. 🥲

No. Ever since Seinfeld ended in the late 1990s I rarely watch broadcast TV. The last network shows I watched is the Gordon Ramsay stuff, and I don't even watch those anymore.

Edit: When I am using my building's fitness center I watch Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy!, and Shark Tank.

Aw, has So Help Me Todd been cancelled? That's a shame, I really like that.

I've not seen the US version of The 1% Club but I like the UK version. I'd guess it's basically the same but more 'American'. :D

Elsbeth and Ghosts are good, especially Ghosts. The UK version has finished now and it's ending split opinion but I liked it. The US version is really good though and I hope it continues a bit longer. I saw that season 3 was only 10 episodes and worried it'd been cancelled. Are there more to come?

I'm about 4 episodes in with Elsbeth but liking it.

I watch loads of terrestrial TV, but as I'm in the UK, it's not the networks you have there.

I don’t like appointment tv. Having to be in front of the telly at a specific time. I like Jeopardy & Wheel of Fortune, but their times just don’t suit me.

I haven't watched a new sitcom since Seinfeld.

Yes, sadly, "So Help Me Todd" was cancelled. :( It was one of the more upsetting cancellations because it was one of my favorite new shows.

I've only seen the U.S. version of "The 1% Club", so I can't compare it to the UK version. I would assume that it's similar.


Elsbeth and Ghosts are good, especially Ghosts. The UK version has finished now and it's ending split opinion but I liked it. The US version is really good though and I hope it continues a bit longer. I saw that season 3 was only 10 episodes and worried it'd been cancelled. Are there more to come?

I heard that the UK version of "Ghosts" is excellent, but I haven't seen it. The U.S. version of "Ghosts" has been renewed for a fourth season, which will debut on October 17, 2024.


I'm about 4 episodes in with Elsbeth but liking it.

I like "Elsbeth" a lot. It reminds me a bit of "Columbo" because she picks up on the little details that everyone else misses, and everyone underestimates her because of her quirkiness.

That's what DVRs are for. You can just record the shows, and watch them later.

Never used one. I just don’t have time to start recording shows. I can barely manage the content that I have.

I watched the new show, High Potential today. It premiered last night on ABC and CTV. I thought it was pretty good and will check it out again next week.

In the sense of watching shows that premiere/air on networks, sure. In the sense of watching them on the actual networks, basically never.
