I was actually happy when Tiger Beer took a break from his many postings about nothing, but I guess the holiday is over.

When is Queer as Folk on, and what is it? A sitcom? Not another reality show, is it?

I was also an Onstyle addict, but the end of Love or Money somehow shook me out of it. American Idol is the only one I follow these days (Onstyle Saturday and Sunday evenings at 9:25 p.m.) and please don't anyone post who the winner was, as I'm following it as if it is the original broadcast Cool .

The only other show I regularly watch is "Let's Speak Korean" at 6:45 a.m. on Arirang TV. I think it is rebroadcast a few times later in the day as well if you're not an early bird. It's a great way to review things I've already learned and sometimes a new word pops up there too.

Yeah, I've been noticing that sometime between 11:30-12:30pm weekdays.. but I'm always getting to work right at that time to really sit down and watch it. I like it though.

I have Skylife. Star Sports, Animal Planet and CNN are worth their weight in gold. The rest suck.

O'Shea's Big Adventure on AP is interesting ... this guy basically travels all over, inexplicably feeling the need to wrestle with dangerous snakes.

Lately the've been showing Third Rock from the Sun reruns on Dong-ah TV, or one of those other channels ... I used to love that show.

Mostly Skylife consists of crap Steven Segal movies or mind-numbingly inane "reality TV". If it wasn't for the football on StarSports Saturday nights, I'd go completely insane.

My fav's have thus far been:

The simpsons
David Letterman
007 (featured all last month on SuperAction - gf didn't like that)
All the wrestling and fighting at 10:30 at night (never watched it at home, somehow here I enjoy it).

Notice there's no Korean program in the mix? I don't get it...they make some decent movies, but I haven't found a TV show I liked.

Hmm, I'll keep looking for it -- maybe it is rebroadcast at other times on the weekend. Since it isn't on yet, I'm guessing it comes on way after my bedtime. Embarassed But thanks for the info anyway!

I find myself glued to the dross on 'OnStyle'. Outback Jack was a favourite for a while. Now its Average Joe 2 for me I'm afraid. The only decent shows i watch are those i download.

When I was fortunate enough to have a job like most of you I watched the playboy channel. It was only 10,000 Won per month extra. Now, I have no job, no AFN/CNN, and living conditions are horrible. I am now living in the dark ages as I am forced to watch the "series TV" channel. I get all the great shows back when and I think I am reliving my life as I watch "Dallas," "The A Team," "The Six Million Dallar Man," "Rich Man Poor Man," "Miami Vice," "Kojak," and the "The Incredible Hulk."

When I did have AFN, it was like having TEVO watching Jay Leno/David Letterman back to back!
