I find that programs I used to LOVE now I think aren't really that great. I'm not waiting on the edge of my seat from week to week and don't stress if I miss one (other than Lost).

Nope, anything I liked before I still do, even though one show is gone.

Yes, quite a few shows I stopped watching, although a few I've picked up again, and even two new shows. This season, I stopped watching many of the shows I did watch, because they just don't seem to be as good as they were pre-strike.

Not really...I'm still only loyal to the same few shows as I was before the strike: The Office, How I Met Your Mother, and occasionally, Grey's Anatomy. Oh, and now I'm addicted to Lost too

not really. I honestly don't watch much TV except for scrubs, and that was one of the TV shows didn't run for a while because of the strike.
thank god it's back!

i find myself pickier now. and i never watch TV unless it's something i DVRd.

I gave up the majority of my TV watching. Heroes is a prime example. I just got out of the habit of watching and by the time it started up again, I wasn't invested in the characters anymore

Yes I returned to watching unscripted tv ie History Channel, Science Channel and PBS instead of Regular tv or cable. Oh yeah I also watched a lot of Food Network during that time.

Definitely! And in several ways. . . I have almost completely stopped watching television on my actual TV (which is unfortunate because it's really a nice one!). I've definitely begun the habit of watching shows online, and especially love hulu.

Also, shows for which I used to make time have completely fallen by the wayside. I was a big fan of Heroes, Ugly Betty, and Gray's Anatomy, and had started to watch Gossip Girl, but now I really couldn't care less about them.

The 2 shows I came back for are House and Lost, and I'm making room in my schedule now for Fringe.

I think it made a lot of people, including me, watch things they never would have otherwise. There was a period of time there were all that was on Network TV were reruns or bad reality TV, so I think a lot of people headed to the Cable stations. I think that really helped shows like Madmen get recognition this year. And I think the Networks are still recovering. Which should tell them that we really don't want crap like Leno on at 10. We want well written dramas! I for one will never ever watch Leno at 10. If there is not something else on another station that I want to watch, I'll just go read.

i've found that i watch different shows now. i've begun to watch a lot more HBO/Showtime shows than the network ones, and i kind of feel lost in some of the shows that i used to really enjoy since they took such a break that i'm watching other ones.

My reaction was basically the same as Molly's.

I started to watch more reality TV.

Before the strike, I probably had one show every evening that I really enjoyed watching and I'd sit on my butt and watch them. While the strike was on, I found other interests and things to do in the evenings that I enjoyed SO much more than mindless TV that when the strike was over, I didn't go back to TV. The ONLY thing I can NOT miss these days is Privileged. Everything else is just, well, "meh"

I definitely started watching less TV. The only show nowadays that I absolutely cannot miss is LOST.

I am ashamed to say that I now watch WAY more bad reality TV (VH1 shows in particular . . ugh) than I ever did before the strike. Although, its not so much I tune in on the nights they are airing new, but more I catch all the reruns that are played over and over again throughout the week.

I pulled the plug on many shows that I had been watching. I found that during the strike I didn't miss them, so i didn't pick them back up. I have definitely become picker on what I add to my DVR/start to watch.

I never watched much TV, so there's no reason for me to change my habits.
