WHAT I WATCH ON TV Henry Jenkins (Well, I figure we should do these things the way TV Guide does it.) Many of my "must-see" programs have already been mentioned: ST:NG, ST:DS9, Northern Exposure, The Simpsons. I would also second Amanda Aaron's endorsement of PICKET FENCES as the best new series of the year, one which deals with risky topics in a remarkably sensative and interesting way and the characters, especially the teenage daughter, are wonderful! Other favorite shows not mentioned: a) BOB -- I skipped most of the last Bob Newhart series and did not expect to like this one, but the writing is great and many of the characters really tickle my fancy. b) FLYING BLIND: A literate, witty Fox comedy? A contradiction in terms. Actually not. This "romantic"/errotic comedy has two first rate performers who play around with the "woman on top" tradition of comedy in an interesting way. c) BROOKLYN BRIDGE: My warm fuzzy fix for the week. d) YOUNG INDIANA JONES: Uneven, but often lively with revisionist looks at key events in 20th century global history. It generates good discussions with my son. e) TRIBECA/HOMICIDE: I saw the first episodes of both series, liked them a lot, realized that I didn't have time to watch them during the semester, so I have been storing up episodes on tape to enjoy during the rerun season. I watched LA LAW for what, five or six years, from the very beginning, and then went cold-turkey about three or four episodes into this season. I don't miss it any more. Now that its scheduled against Picket Fences, I find there is no contest. It isn't enough to tell me it doesn't suck as much anymore to reclaim me as a viewer, not with Picket Fences as competition. My guilty pleasure: WWF Wrestling. The only sport on television that I take seriously.
