Oops, sorry, I waded right in to the forums without posting here first.
I'm Mike, aged 51 and living in Lincolnshire. I love loads of things on TV and avoid far more. I grew up at a time when people smugly told each other how superior British TV was to American - well, that's changed, if it was even true to start with. For every Fawlty Towers we had numerous Mind Your Languages and Hi De His. These days, though, there is very little home produced that I watch regularly.
What I tend to do most these days is check out interesting looking series once they have been going for a while so I don't have to wait for ages between episodes. A modern luxury of the discerning viewer. So, Game of Thrones, Extras, The Sopranos, The Walking Dead and others have been watched at my convenience. Superb.
I still get to see some live TV, though, hence me being here.
