Do you enjoy late night television?

PS: The term "Late Nite" is slang. I don't why, but it is.

Conan O'Brian has really grown on me. Oddly enough I will miss Tom Synder, but look forward to Craig Kilborn taking over the after-Letterman slot.

I did in college, but I just can't stay awake that late anymore. David Letterman is my fave.

More options please. 'I have mixed feelings about late nite tv'. 'I sometimes watch it if I can't sleep.'

I used to like it, back when "they pelted me with rocks and garbage" was fresh and innovative.

Do you mean the talk shows (Letterman, Leno, et al.)? I very rarely watch any TV and never turn it on for these guys. Or do you just mean "TV after midnight," in which case, I occasionally watch TV then, but not often.

I don't actively dislike late night TV, but I don't go out of my way to watch it. Usually I am in bed already. If there is an actor or musician I want to see, I'll tape it.

Kill Your Television! Opiate of the Masses! Play video games instead!

Other... I have a satellite dish and have to connect the antennae to watch regular tv so I rarely watch it. I do LOVE David Letterman. Usually I just watch movies.

Of the half hour a week I watch, it never includes any "late nite", Beavis and Butthead, Jerry Springer, fake pro wrestling or even South Park.

I'm not really sure what constitutes late night television. I think as it gets later the shows get crappier, so I don't really tend to enjoy them.

day time TV is crappy too, the best stuff is between 8-11pm

This needs more options. I watch TV, just not late night.

I like Japanese sci-fi movies ... bad stop motion photography ... out of sync mouth and sound. I don't know why, but it's very entertaining for me.

Brian: I think that 'Late Nite' is the name of a particular TV show that was very popular in my country (USA), and so now people use it as a slang word. There is a set of nighttime programs called 'Nick at Nite' on cable now, which probably didn't help the situation any.

drdt: The US happens to be my country as well.

As for Late Night TV, I was referring to the time between the end of the Late News, and the start of what bill calls Daytime television.

I used to like David Lettermen, but now I'm mostly unimpressed. Did I grow out of him, or did the quality of his output go down?

bill... I think it might be the quality.

IMO the funniest bit on television EVER was when Letterman had Larry "Bud" Melman set up a booth opposite the Soviet embassy. The quality has definitely gone down-hill, though.

bill: Was Letterman ever funny?

P.S. If you're interested in seeing an interesting movie, see if you can find a copy of The Late Shift. It's a movie about the rivalry between leno and Letterman. It's a good flick. It stars, Kathy Bates, Treat Williams, Sandra Bernhard, Peter Jurasik, and Rich Little.

Brian, I used to think he was - but I was younger then.

I've seen Late Shift (and HBO movie I think), it was quite good I agree.

Citizen X (another HBO original movie) was also very good. It is about a Russian detective, Stephen Rae, who tracks down a serial killer (in Russia).

bill: I saw that one too! HBO's Originals usually are good. Stalin, Mistrial, The Second Civil War, Afterburner, etc.
