Most of the stuff I watch on TV nowadays is on cable. I.E. Cartoon Network, Discovery Channel, Food Network, Sci-Fi Channel etc. And even then, I rarely watch them during the day since all the shows tend to stink. I mean, the only real American cartoons I watch are, Marvel/DC comic shows (X-Men, Justice League Unlimited, Batman), the weird funny shows (Aqua Teen Hunger Force). And of course, whenver they show a good one, anime on CN. Everything else I tend to skip.
Though I do think House is an awesome show. I just don't have the time to watch it.
