Top 5 - Cable Channels!

Well, there were some rumbling about a top 5. Not to disappoint my readers, today is the top 5 favorite cable channels. I had to think about this one for a while. Really, ESPN is my issue. I am not really a fan of sportscenter. I usually watch ESPNNEWS for summaries of games but ESPN shows sporting events and specials like 30 for 30. Anyway, ESPN was really my hardest decision. Also, no movie channels like HBO, Showtime, etc. I think my list will be similar to most other guys. I think my female readers will have a very different list.

1. TNT - It is usually the first channel I go to. It has NBA games throughout the season. It covers golf and has a nice mix of movies. Sports, movies, I am sold.

2. ESPN - If we could bundle all of ESPN channels into one, I would have said ESPN is #1 in a heartbeat. It shows too much sports not to be in the mix.

3. USA - USA has the best tv shows of the cable channels. Monk, Psych, Royal Pains, reruns of House and NCIS - I am hooked. It also shows WWE, the Masters and some tennis.

4. TBS - Baseball playoffs, weekly sunday baseball games, good movies, and they have the best comedy show reruns on (i.e. Seinfeld, family guy, the office, etc.)

5. FX - Any channel that gave me the Shield and now gives me It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia has to be on my top 5 list.

Anyway, that is my list. As you see, I don't watch many news shows. It usually revolves around sports and movies and sometimes tv shows.

Happy Tuesday!

I decided to post my list without reading yours so that I couldn't be influenced:
1. BRAVO - Top Chef, West Wing reruns, generally stupid & addictive reality shows.
2. TNT - Primetime in the daytime, it keeps a stay at home mom sane.
3. HGTV - inspires to spend Andy's hard earned money and make my house pretty.
4. TBS - I can usually count on it to air cheesey movies on the weekends and quality sitcoms in syndication.
5. DISNEY CHANNEL - hello, I have a two year old!

*I love Project Runway but I cannot and will not put Lifetime on this list.

1. Bravo - I cannot get enough
2. HGTV - great inspiration for things I will never do
3. TLC - great for daytime BS
4. MTV - every now and then they suck me back in - 16 and Pregnant was good!
5. Can I pick Bravo again? I love it that much.

1. TBS - movies and syndicated sitcoms.
2. ABC Family - re-runs of That 70s Show and extremely cheesy movies.
3. ESPN - partly because I love sports, and partly because I cannot get anything done around my house with movies on, but I can be very productive with sports in the background.
4. TNT - movies and NBA
5. TLC - though I am mad at them until they put What Not to Wear back on Friday nights.

I also aspire to watch HGTV someday! What am I waiting for??
