Only two good shows on this list; television is going down the drain. (Ironically both shows are on at the same time. xD)

I watch Modern Family but lately it seems to be running out of steam and I am losing interest. Same with Cougartown.

RedBedroom wrote:I am surprised that DWTS beats Survivor like that. Is Survivor on two or three times a year, Tony?

Forgiveness_Man wrote:I think it's getting better. lol But Cougar Town ran out of steam in episode 2.

RedBedroom wrote:Thanks for the info, Tony. I really did not realize that DWTS was that popular. It is on for a total of three hours per week...that is a lot of air time.

RedBedroom wrote:I watch DWTS, but I only watch the dances and the last five minutes of the results show. Three hours is just too long to watch a show per week.

I guess I just like Courtney Cox so I continued to watch. Actually I like "The Middle" too but Survivor is on at the same time so can't watch.
