I feel I choose shows that tell good stories and are not a waste of my time. Our Canadian must-see shows gravitate towards comedy with shows such as Air Farce Live, Corner Gas, and Little Mosque on the Prairie. Of course there's a variety in the viewing of US programming. For example, Sons and Daughters, CSI: Miami, Boston Legal, Family Guy, and Ugly Betty have little in common. We have stuck with the Survivor franchise too. It's surely useful that the satellite receiver has two turners and keeps track of what records on the internal hard disk.
Yet, we nearly missed recording the first episode of the only other reality program we regularly watch. Due to the fact the show is sometimes produced two times per television season, Amazing Race is now up to the twelfth set of contestants. Flying around the world in pairs, seeing famous sites, and bitching during the process seems to match our experiences so well. Who could possibly not find that interesting?
