If you could only watch one network, which one would it be?

by Bob Sassone, posted Sep 27th 2006 1:29PM

The OfficeI was thinking of this scenario the other day. What if the FCC or the cable providers or the God of Television (stay with me here people) declared that you could only have one TV network coming into your house? Which network would you pick? I'm not talking about throughout history, I'm talking about the networks that exist right now and the shows that exist on the lineups right now.

This is hard for me, because every single network has something that I absolutely love. Well, OK, maybe not The CW, but every other network. ABC has Lost and The Nine coming up, but I didn't pick ABC. CBS has 60 Minutes and Old Christine, but I didn't pick CBS either. CNN has all the latest news, FOX has Family Guy and The Simpsons, and HBO has Entourage, Bill Maher, and movies, but I didn't pick them either.

I'd have to go with NBC. While I like the above networks and shows and would seriously miss them, I could not live without The Office and Studio 60. And it would be nice to be able to still see The NBC Nightly News, SNL (even if it is really lame now), Today, Wimbledon coverage, and My Name Is Earl.

But Letterman, The Price is Right, and the U.S. Open are on CBS. Damn it! Well, I guess I could go over to the house of a friend who has only CBS, right?

Which network would you pick?

Not a moments thought here. It's FOX for House and American Idol.
I would miss Jericho and Lettterman though.

Lost is pretty much the only thing I watch on TV. So I would go with ABC.
I dont watch a lot of TV, but my cursory look at other shows proved to me that I am a Lost Guy.

NBC of course. Can't live without The Office, Studio 60, Heroes, and Friday Night Lights.
