Guilty pleasures...part 5 maybe??

I have written many posts before about guilty pleasures of television in my personal life. Now that we have very limited television I am going to tell you what good shows are on if you only run on antennae and or the whole Netflix/Wii service that we have. This service has been great, you get series such as "American Pickers", "Anthony Bourdain" and many other cable shows. On the downside, you get hundreds of B/C list movies that you may not have ever heard of to choose from: this can be quite "ok" if you are like us and can barely find time to have two hours to watch a movie. we have seen some doozies, and seen some interesting movies like "The Last Winter" (check it out).
Here is a list of some of the best television/cable channels have to offer, including public broadcasting:
Austin City Limits
American Pickers
Nova
Pawn Stars (we may have to wait for this on our Wii deal)
Dexter (caught up on three seasons using Wii)
the "Create" public channel- brought to us down here by USF- wonderful variety of food, travel and crafting shows all with an updated look
Bones- (Fox); the weird thing about Fox is that although their news departments drive people crazy, they have always been ahead of the game creatively with some of their shows (21 Jump Street, X-Files, The Simpsons, The Family Guy and Bones). I love Bones!!
Guilty Pleasure: American Idol- now we don't watch each season and watch every performer, but sometimes we'll catch this a few weeks in a row by accident, and it really does remind you of a big national talent show, which it is supposed to be, without all the sponsorship and cheesiness. It is fun to see people from small towns get their five minutes of fame or shame try to make it big and I just like seeing people perform live, period.

I would endorse reading literature or even doing crosswords every night rather than watching tv, but if you must...enjoy it! Mindless entertainment is great especially when it's not full of violence or uber depressing content.

We have enough of that in the real world.
