My Seven Favorite TV shows

No it doesn't include American Idol" and "Dancing With the Stars". Most are on the Discovery Channel... that's channel 44 for those with Time-Warner cable in the San Diego area.

1. Deadliest Catch. Who would have thought I would enjoy frozen fisherman in the Berring Sea trying to catch Alaskan King Crab? For some crazy reason I find this show interesting. Discovery channel (44).

2. Cash Cab. This is a cross between "Jeopardy" and public transportation. It's fun to play along with Ben and his riders, trying to guess the correct answer to his trivia questions. Also on Discovery (44).

3. Seinfeld. Yeah a rerun... but at least a good rerun. Who cant' relate to one of the cast? George, Elaine, Kramer and of course Jerry. Oh.... helloooooo Newman! Fox (6) and TBS (2).

4. O'Reilly Factor. Okay, Okay.. pipe down you liberals. I think O'Reilly, (although a rather pompous ass and someone who leans far to the right), does actually present both sides of the issues. I find it refreshing that he gives everyone a chance to give their side of the argument. That's more than I get from Chris Matthews or Jim Lehrer. Fox News (37).

5. Dirty Jobs. Mike Rowe does some of the dirtiest jobs in the world and shares them with you. Stinky, smelly and tiring these jobs are ones I'd never want to do... but I'm glad he is! Discovery (44).

6. The Simpson's. They're getting a little thin on material but still fun to watch. Everyone can relate to Bart and his brainy sister Lisa. Fox (6).

7. SportsCenter. What sports junkie hasn't watched sportscenter? I go their for highlights, scoreboards and love the way they keep me informed. ESPN (29).
