How many ongoing TV shows do you watch?
My wife and I were thinking about how many current programs we watch and when I actually wrote them all out it was way higher than I thought (55). Which is surprising because whenever we stop enjoying a show we drop it so all of ours are one's we really enjoy.
So for you guys how many current running shows do you watch? I'm counting shows that I either watch as they air or when the current season ends up on Netflix/Hulu.
My list:

I guess my answer could be zero.
I eventually watch maybe a dozen of the currently airing shows, but it's almost always after they hit disc or streaming.

Just Survivor. I catch everything else well after the fact. And only if it's generated enough positive buzz, appears interesting to me and I can access it cheaply.

Too many
It would be boring to list them all.
Let's just say that my Directv Genie works pretty much non-stop year round.

Re: How many ongoing TV shows do you watch?
I thought I had a lot. I'm going to try and be careful about what I replace this year once other shows have ended. Even though I don't watch anything or very little live. It can be a lot to keep up with.
It's in the high twenties.

Re: How many ongoing TV shows do you watch?
Not as many as you guys, but all these you're naming are on at different times of year. It's not like we're watching 55 at once because that would be insane...

Re: How many ongoing TV shows do you watch?
There are those we watch because we don't like to miss them, then there are the others we watch either out of habit or because it's filler until the next show comes on. Total of 20
Shows we like and record:
Big Bang (not sure why cause it's getting old)
The Middle - still love that show
Goldbergs - love it
Life in Pieces - we love it
Modern Family - really getting old
NCIS
These we watch because they are on, if they went away no big deal:
Kevin Can Wait
Man With A Plan
Mom
Speechless - shows pretty good but I really dislike Minnie Driver for some reason
The Voice
DWTS
Black-ish
Superior Donuts
American Housewife
Trial & Error
Great Indoors
On Disc
Blindspot
Blacklist
The Americans

Re: How many ongoing TV shows do you watch?
Too many, I just replaced my series 3 tivo with a 4 tuner bolt so between this dvr and the 6 tuner roamio in my bedroom I can now not worry about conflicts and can even add a minute to the habitual offenders that run long and not worry about clipping another show. I may not watch them immediately when they air but I must have over 70 shows season passed between both TiVos.

Re: How many ongoing TV shows do you watch?
Not a lot really.
Bates Motel- need to catch up on seasons four and five.
Better Call Saul- need to start season three but want to rewatch the first two seasons again.
Curb Your Enthusiasm- coming back later this year.
The Simpsons- I don't always watch consistently but I do watch it.

Re: How many ongoing TV shows do you watch?
I would have to look at my DVR to be certain, but I think I'm up into the 80s or 90s with series recordings set up. Like other say, these don't all air at the same time, and I may have a few cancelled series still hanging on. But it's somewhere in that neighborhood.

Updating my answer of zero+ from a few years ago, to one+.
We watch Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist weekly. There are a few currently airing shows that I may watch on disc or streaming in the future, but Rick and Morty is the only one I’m 100% positive I’ll seek out. Oh, I guess I’ll probably watch more Mandalorian.
