Where can you get TV listings in English in this country? I don't really know what's on when - especially on the movie channels like OCN.

Anyway, last night I stumbled upon Punked. It's on the MTV channel starting at 7pm or 7:30 pm (I caught the last 5 minutes of it.) on Wednesdays. What good shows have you been watching and when are they on?

Alias is on Fox, I think. The times are different. It was on this morning when I turned on the tv at 7. I saw it this past weekend also in the morning, around 11 ish.

Thursday night is awesome on my beloved AFN! The ball starts rolling with The Office at 7pm, followed by The New Adventures of Old Christine at 7.25pm. Then at 8pm its Bones, and after this CSI Miami is on at 9pm. And people are still surprised that I won't go out on a Thursday night....

Is anybody else's AFN black and white? Mine gets brief flashes of colour, but other than that, it is pretty much just black and white. Oh yeah, and sometimes I get a two inch band of colour across the middle. I like AFN on Friday's when it has the newest survivor. If they could just get rid of the ridiculous commericals, AFN would be great.

You know, I understand commercials about drinking and driving and watching your speed, but do they really need commercials to remind adults, who have a license to kill, to always walk with a buddy and to not stay out too late?

I wish I got it in full colour. I don't know what is wrong with my cable.

Been here about a week ... we have cable in the hostel I am in. Gotta go with Starleague ... if you know the video games, you can be totally entertained without understanding a word of Korean. Also, you can be mocked by your fellow backpackers for watching THAT.

Yeah, I can only spend so long watching Starcraftu before getting an urge to do the dishes. They sometimes play clan matches of Counter Strike on MBC but they use 1.6 instead of Source so it really looks like crap.

AFN is fine. My last 10 or so channels, including CNN, are in reverse though, i.e. like a photo negative.

At least my baduk channel is alright.

OCN runs all 3 CSIs, House and I've seen L&O:CI and Las Vegas,

Channel CGV runs L&O:SVU, Commander in Chief, Lost, Greys Anatomy (starting this week)

Fox (starting at 8P on my cable system) Alias, Medium, The District

Series TV (8AM-8PM) old shows like The A Team, Miami Vice, JAG, Six Million Dollar Man, Cosby Show

other channels run other shows, I've seen Boston Legal, Scrubs, The New Adventures of Old Christine amongst others

My AFN has had a red tint to it and was out for a while replaced by AFN News yesterday which I loved I got to watch Hardball for a while

I do miss some of the older spots, like the depressed bowler, Jan and the anthrax ninja
