I watch American Idol (mostly to be incredulous at the vast pool of untalented individuals that feel they are worthy contenders for stardom)...
I'm not an intellectual, and when I do watch TV, it's to decompress...
...that said, my faves are "Monster Garage", "American Chopper" and "American Hot Rod" as well as a few offerings on HGTV.
Nice to know that the pros get hung up on stupid stuff in the same manner that I seem to find myself when I'm tooling around in the garage!
