Depends on what I'm in the mood for. I'm more likely to watch a live show on a pay cable channel than I am basic cable or network TV (the commercial factor).

Re: What type of show gets priority viewing from you on any given night?

I always watch my "favorite" first which would be
Sundays - Shameless, now "Game of Thrones"
Monday - Was "Pretty Little Liars" is now back to "How I Met your Mother"
Tuesday - "Ringer" (RIP)
Wednesday - "One Tree Hill" (RIP)
Thursday - "Missing"
Friday - "Fairly Legal"

Then I move on to the sitcoms and then the mythology shows. The Procedurals usually I watch on the weekends when I have several of them stacked up.

I'm the lone vote for "Reality" but I mean something like Mythbusters or Deadliest Warrior, not Real Housewives, etc. Those are shows I really don't have to be in any particular mood to enjoy.

As all of my viewing is in Hulu, I can't answer this question.

It seems the mythology based and serial dramas are always first in my personal queue - as someone stated earlier, it's tough to avoid the spoilers that seem to come from just about everywhere these days. I tend to watch sitcoms in bunches because they're a quick watch and I enjoy the characters.

Whether the show is on-demand or not. I hate commercials and am pretty patient about waiting to watch a show. The only show I can think of that I had to watch "live" was Breaking Bad season finale, but otherwise I can wait.

Re: What type of show gets priority viewing from you on any given night?

I have to say Reality Shows because they're my most "must watch" shows right now. That said, I watch only three....but when they're on, they trump everything.

My must-watch-that-night shows are:
Amazing Race
Survivor
Revenge
The Office
Shark Tank
Also enjoy Hawaii-5-0, but it can wait if it needs to.

There's no category for Other.

Nova, Nature, Frontline. Police procedurals if there is nothing better on.

I did the Nielsen diary last month. They probably threw my results in the trash.
