What's the most fast-forwarded tv show?

I will probably wear out my fast forward button on 'Overhaulin'. I record the show and fast forward to the end to see the finished vehicle. I got tired of all the lame skits a long time ago, where they try to fool the owner into thinking that their car was stolen.

What other shows is fast forward a necessity? Lets hear them...

American Hotrod,
Monster Garage, ....?????

The Oscars

And I wish I could fast-forward through most of the American Idol season. I like to see the fools in the first couple of weeks, then I want to see the winner. Between then, I really don't care.

I fast forward the daily show a lot, especially when they have boring guests.

Good call on American Idol. You score bonus points with that one. Although you will miss all the silly Ford Focus commercials.

I usually know when the Mustang commercial will air, so I'll tune in for that.

+1

I'm patiently waiting for the HD-Tivo to be more readily available.

Another show I FF a lot is Pinks! I just want to see the darn racing! I do that with Nascar races a lot too, FF until I see a wreck, then watch the last 25 or so laps!

Fast forward the Monkees? Are you nuts...oh never-mind!

Myth Busters has to be the most FF show. They repeat the same junk after every commercial.

LOST - I've been watching that show since the beginning and still haven't reached the end of an episode with any answers.

24(the worst waste of film on TV), anything with CSI in it, Andy Griffith in color (black and white is the only way to watch).

They are only on for about 5 minutes anyway. Really it's a waste of the guests time to even show up.

I guess 24 is entertaining to some people, but the charactor "Jack Bauer"
(aka. superman) is extremely far fetched! I can tell you that in the real world, anti-terrorism is all about teamwork, not "cowboy" operators running around saving the world single handedly! How about a good(not great) show like "The Unit" or "NCIS".

24's entertaining, but in no way real life. Heck, Jack Bauer (Da MAN), doesn't even stop to poop!

The Unit is great too. I'd probably like NCIS if I were to watch it... I'm afraid I'd get hooked.

Hey, some of the situations that he gets involved in would pucker my you-know-what too!

But I'm sure he spends some "quiet time" with the latest issue of "Guns & Ammo" on his day off....
