'Medium's' jump to CBS has us wondering: What's 'your network'?

On CBS, I watch NCIS faithfully and nothing else regularly. On NBC, I like look forward to Chuck and sometimes what Southland. On ABC, I watch Castle, Ugly Betty, Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice. On Fox I watch Bones and sometimes House. SciFi whenever Eureka is on. And USA for Psych, Burn Notice and In Plain Sight. And then various shows on PBS for about 4-6 hours a week.
So I don’t think I have a network. And after writing this I’ve decided I watch too much television.

I’m old enough to have been a fithful watcher of ABC ever since the days of the black and white version of The Outer Limits. ABC always took chances– what other network would’ve rolled the dice on a British spy show like The Avengers? (NBC and CBS followed with their own British imports.)
ABC had the campiness of Batman, the wackiness of The Addams Family and all the best Quinn Martin shows like 12 O’Clock High and The Fugitive. Even in the sixties, ABC canceled shows right and left– but that was back when you had three networks and sometimes an independent station to watch.
I find it amusing that ABC is taken to task for doing what they’ve always done. After all, I still want to know if David Vincent was able to convince enough people that the Invaders were coming.

I watch so much CBS you’d think I owned stock in it. I pretty much watch or DVR nearly every show on CBS. But, being 50 years old and that being (supposedly) how the network skews, its no wonder. But true entertainment isn’t about who watches but that many people watch. You hear that you 18-49 snobs? CBS IS the most watched network but not by that supposedly all important 18-49 crowd. Those of us who’ve been around the block a few more times know entrtainment when we see. Hence the great ratings for CBS!

I’m not sure I aheva network, it’s probably a tossup between CBS and CW though. I love me some HIMYM BBT and ANTM.

I watch HIMYM on CBS, and have heard so much positive buzz on “Big Bang” that I intend to give it a test run at some point. Overall, I always thought of myself as an NBC person (through high school it was all I watched, with Fox on Sundays) until 24 and LOST broke me out of the mold. I have a show here and there on each network now, but I would definitely say I’m a show follower and not a network guy anymore.

I’m definitely a “show girl.” I watch a number of different shows on NBC, ABC, FOX and The CW. The only network that I can’t seem to get behind is CBS. None of their programming appeals to me. The sitcoms and procedurals seem to standard, and the last time I gave a crap about Survivor was when Elizabeth Hasselbeck was on. It just doesn’t seem “fresh” enough for me, but I’m 21, so that’s probably to be expected.

The only show my husband and I watch on CBS is The Mentalist.Otherwise we watch NBC the most, several shows on fox and hardly anything on ABC (I think we are both still bitter about Pushing Daisies). I still don’t understand the decision of putting Jay Leno on primetime, but we have been pleased that FNL and Chuck have been renewed (even as mid season replacements).

This post made me realize that the only three network shows I really make a point to watch: House, 24, and Fringe all appear on Fox. Though I’m not sure how I feel about “my network” being the same one that also airs the Singing Show That Shall Not Be Named.
