How many TV shows do you try to follow?
Early this season, I tried to follow 36 shows and it was damn near impossible. Right now, I have 31 on my list, but with Alias ending, I'm down to 30, not counting new pilots next season. I've had 5-6 hour marathons on some weekends when my DVR gets really backed up.

Hmm....
24
Lost
The Office
The Amazing Race
Scrubs
Arrested Development (RIP)
The Simpsons
Family Guy
Guess that's about it. Most of the rest of what I watch is sports.
Edit: forgot Rescue Me (hasn't been on in so long) and downloaded BBC shows Doctor Who and Top Gear.

just Lost and Scrubs - the rest of my tv time is watching videos from Netflix, Nicheflix, NYMmedia, and my own personal video collection.
Been trying to read more - hah! that ain't happening.

Yeah you are missing the option for me also.
I have 3 Tivo's and one R-15. On one of my Tivo's I have 98 season passes. On another I have about 48 just for shows not on local channels.

1) Gilmore Girls
2) Veronica Mars
3) Smallville
4) Everybody Hates Chris
5) My Name Is Earl
6) The Office
7) Scrubs
8) The Unit
9) LOST
10) King of the Hill
11) The Shield
12) Nip/Tuck
13) The Soup
14) SNL
Those are the shows that will continue.
The shows that are ending:
15) Everwood
16) Conviction
17) Thief
18) Arrested Development
Shows I'll be trying to pick up next year:
15) 30 Rock
16) Studio 60...
17) Heroes
That's it so far, but I'll probably add more later.
Yep, I was right about where I'd fall. High teens.

between 15 and 20. But several of them are HBO shows that are really spread out. Plus a show like Southpark that splits up their shows over two mini season.

Low twenties.
It really isn't as bad as some people might think though. When you consider that the HBO shows, FX shows, and South Park have non-standard schedules, there usually aren't more than maybe 12-15 going during a given week.
