I tend to only watch documentaries, mostly history, science, archaeology, art, etc.

Dr Brian Cox has done a number of superb series on science - the earth, the solar system and our galaxy. Magnificent stuff.

Other than that it's Formula 1 racing

The only 'reality' show I watch is Channel 4's "Grand Designs" about the building projects of unusual homes from conception to completion. Kevin McCloud is a good presenter, knows what he's on about and is sufficiently 'arty' and the show is a nice mix of architecture, some history, environmental issues and that nice buzz so many get from peeking inside other people's homes.

Some idea of the kinds of projects the series covers:

A couple of years back Waldemar Januszczak did a very interesting 4-part series on the early French Impressionists - not just their art but pocket-bios of each one. Thoroughly interesting and entertaining with a nicely kooky presentation style. Its those kinds of shows that TV was designed for.

I'm living happily without TV since 18 (I'm 46), but then Internet came (yes, there was a time without Internet) and so now I'm less of an outcast
Lately I've seen some series online.

Currently watching: Treme , recommendable, specially if you like New Orleans music.

As I don't actually have a TV, usually I don't watch much that currently airs. I keep up with Futurama and Adventure Time, and usually Doctor Who but I've fallen behind recently. Lately I've also been watching Parks and Recreation and Arrested Development.

Parks and Recreation got really excellent. First season is just okay, but from there on out it's absolutely wonderful. So many good characters.

Many of you probably won't remember the show, but when I was living in Japan in the mid-60s, I used to watch "Bonanza" on the local TV station in Japanese. It was funny listening to the gruff, western characters speaking in Japanese.

I remember Bonanza. The way the parchment burned away around the name in the ending titles was very cool I thought.
