25 if just counting network shows that were on at some point within the past month.
Add another 4 for cable shows in the same time period.
And if we're talking the whole season, including stuff that was cancelled or ended its run sometime between September and April, at least another 12.

Of course, some of these shows are of the "sit on my DVR until I have time to watch them" variety.

For me, this last season consisted of the following:

- Daily Show / Colbert Report
- South Park
- Scurbs
- The Shield
- Lost
- Veronica Mars
- My Name Is Earl
- The Office
- Wonder Showzen
- Sopranos
- Big Love
- Simpsons
- Family Guy
- West Wing
- Robot Chicken
- Battlestar Galactica
- Arrested Development (RIP)

And maybe a couple more I'm forgetting, so around 20 - which is more than I thought -I'm surprised I have the time - God bless tivo!

Definitely keep it under 5. Just too many other things I'd rather do with my time (movies, books, working out, sports, video games....) or have to do with my time (work and grad school).

That's all I currently follow (not including Boxing). I'm hoping there will be a couple more worth adding next season (looking forward to "Heroes"). I just started on Battlestar Galactica (just finished the mini series), so it's possible that could be added to the list. I'm not usually a "big" TV sci-fi fan aside from Firefly, The X-Files and couple of others (Taken being another one), but we'll see. I just finished the mini series and it was decent. I'm hoping the series is better though. Based on what I've heard it is.
