I used to like watching TV but most of my favorites are off the air now. I have a passing fancy with Switched at Birth and an on/off like of Army Wives. But other than that I do a lot of channel switching. Shaeley Mae's comment about The Bachelor has me wondering what other adults watch on TV these days!

The Good Wife (CBS)
Mad Men (AMC)
Smash (NBC)
The Middle (ABC)
Modern Family (ABC)
New Girl (Fox)
The first two are definitely our favorites, but we're suckers for well-written, well-acted dramas. You can also catch us watching reruns of 30 Rock, Law and Order: SVU, and a few others.
Good topic!
ETA: I didn't mean to imply that we watch these shows when they are normally aired. We watch them one at a time OnDemand and usually pass out by 9.
I also liked Dexter. The only other thing that I know really is a few reality shows all on TLC usually involving kids.
The one fall back is I never know what movies are coming out.
Progesterone therapy and baby aspirin daily
Two miscarriages in between (August 2012 - same donor as Maggie, and December 2014 with husband)
Maggie
But also ..... NFL football, American Idol, The Bachelor/ette, and Friends reruns on Saturday evening (5pm-7pm).
I'm also a HUGE Grey's Anatomy fan, but I've never watched it live, as it airs. I always wait until the end of the season, then buy the full season on DVD.
I only have internet access and watch things on my laptop.
My fave are Revenge ABC and Ringer CW
Other shows I watch are General Hospital (I know, it's rotting my brain! Haha. But, I watch it over dinner or before bed and I loves it!), Heart of Dixie CW, and The Bachelor/ette ABC, and then other random shows like Switched at Birth, 16 and Pregnant (if these girls can do, so can I!!!) and I have watched all of the One Born Every Minute episodes - it's filmed at the hospital that I'm using!
I find shows either on the network site or on Hulu and I just purchased Netflix, but I'm not sure if it's worth it yet. I also youtube if I want to get caught up on a current news story.
For a long time I didn't watch TV, but after getting into on my laptop, I'm doomed! Haha! Actually, I don't mind too much, after I start back to school in the fall and have a baby, I'm sure I will look back at my TV-time with fond memories! Ha!
Sweet Genius
You Gotta Eat Here (the Canadian version of Diners Drive Ins and Dives, which we also watch sometimes)
Decked Out
Any of the medical mystery type shows
Oh, and we recently discovered that we have National Geographic Wild chanel, and I love the animal documentaries! I hardly every watch the darned thing, but it's on every waking hour I think for background noise
Need to update a ticker, Silas Anthony Jordon born Oct 11, 2013. 6th baby, so much love!
The kids watch some things on Nick Jr or Sprout, and some movies. We watch Glee, and their other mom likes Pretty Little Liars and (OH THE SHAME!) I've been sucked into that one as well. It's just so fun to mock. Those are really the only things we watch regularly, though sometimes their other mom turns on the TV at night and we watch random things like House Hunters.
I love psychology and we used to watch a lot of the true crime shows (like Forensic Files) but have stopped since the kids were born since we obviously don't want them seeing things like that.
Together, we watch -
- Modern Family
- The Big Bang Theory
- Friends reruns
- TrueBlood (this is soo not my type of show, but I am totally hooked!)
- Storage Wars
Personal favorites -
- One Born Every Minute
- Anything on the Food Network, (love Diners, Drive Ins and Dives especially!)
As a couple we mostly watch tv series and documentaries lately, some of our favorite series are:
Big Bang Theory
How I Met Your Mother
Dog the Bounty Hunter (I thought it was stupid but then watched some on vacation and we've gotten hooked - I like how he tries to help the people out.)
Glee
Once Upon A Time (still have to finish catching up on this one.)
Storm Chasers
Friends (well my favorite, still trying to get DW into it...)
(I think I'm missing something but I can't think of it)
I also (should be?) ashamed to admit that during DW's pregnancy I found myself watching 16 and Pregnant. I think it's because I like how they showed the different types of births that occurred, and it really helped me feel less worried/scared about DW giving birth.
When we get to watch cable, hotels on the road or visiting family, I love to watch House Hunters, and a show I can't think of the name of but I think it's called Flip this House.
Oh and last I checked Switched at Birth is available on Netflix.

And yes, I'll admit to being sucked into 16 and pregnant and teen mom as well - I was a teen mom so I like seeing how others do it!

My very favorite is the Bachelor/Bachelorette

All the real housewives (Atlanta, NY, Beverly Hills, OC, NJ) I'm addicted!!
