It's a pretty good chance to try out new things.
One of the best tv shows is returning with new episodes on January 7 on the
Travel Channel. It's called
Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations.
It's a hybrid foodie-travel show with attitude -

http://travel.discovery.com/video/video....upId=1119174400Food Network is reairing Bourdain's old show
A Cook's Tour. It's also a foodie-travel show, but the food is more the emphasis, in my opinion. Find out what's beating cobra heart.
Jamie Oliver (
Naked Chef) has a new show premiering on Food Network on Sunday January 6.
I still enjoy
Dirty Jobs on
Discovery Channel.
Those interior design shows like
Design On a Dime are pretty cool. So are the house flippers.
LA Ink (tattoo parlor, its workers and customers) on
TLC is interesting.
The greatest tv series
The Wire is returning for its fifth and final season on
HBO on January 6. I would recommend watching watching all the previous four seasons on DVD first in that order then catching up on Season 5 on
HBO On-Demand. This show alone ought to keep one busy.
Rewatch
The Sopranos?
Six Feet Under?
Deadwood?
Give brilliant, but cancelled shows
Arrested Development or
Freaks and Geeks a chance on DVD.
PBS has interesting documentaries still.
