shows that gotta go!!!!!!!

[Arkay]

Fortunately, we only get SOME of the programming you guys have mentioned, here in Hong Kong. That said, locally-made programming -believe it or not- is mostly way more lame than those, as bad as they are. I go weeks without switching on regular programming, and usually don't miss it at all. The less I watch of TV, the less I like it (or the more I dislike it) when I do.

THANK GOD for:

LaserDisks
DVDs
Occasionally TCM (Turner Classic Movies) or Cinemax or Star Movies
Occasional good documentaries

and most of all...

MUSIC!

That said, I wouldn't mind a cable channel or two with re-runs of all the programs from my youth, like The Beverly Hillbillies, Gilligan's Island, My Three Sons, Father Knows Best, Leave it to Beaver, etc... just for nostalgia, and one good Sci-Fi channel that would also show all those Fifties "B-grade" (or "triple-Z", as we used to call them) Sci-Fi and Horror flicks.
