Vidya Balan:" I used to catch Nach Baliye sometimes. Otherwise no Tv show has me really hooked. When I’ve the time I watch film. used to be an avid tv watcher before I joined films. Now I’ve become very impatient.
When I watch tv I just surf restlessly. A lot of the fare is uninteresting to me. Since I don’t have the time to follow the soaps I end up watching just the news or music channels.
Even the news channels are so tacky sometimes. These things that they put on anything in the name of news. I don’t enjoy surfing. Because a lot of the stuff is just a carryover from Bollywood I might as well watch a film. I enjoy the music-talent shows.
These shows have given us so much singing talent. However one aspect of these shows upsets me. People on these shows come just for 15 minutes of fame and not for the love of the arts. Sorry if I sound judgemental. But no one seems to have his or her priorities right on these shows.
Saif Ali Khan: "My favourite tv shows are Entourage, Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, Blackadder, Prison Break, 24, The X Files, Murder She Wrote and Who’s The Boss.

Madhavan: " I watch about an hour of television at the most. And that too depends on whether I’m shooting or not.My favourite tv shows are the ones on National Geographic, Untamed Africa, etc.
My favorite personality on TV is Barkha Datt. Barring a few most news channels are tabloids...find very hard to digest. Reality shows are now formated and predictable.
Kay Kay Menon: "I don’t normally watch daily soaps or reality shows. I only watch the news and sports channels. And National Geographic, Dicovery and History channel. I recently watched the music talent show Junoon Kuch Kar Dikhane Ka on NDTV Imagine. I loved it very much for its superior standards and quality of singing.
Raima Sen: "I only watch Friends ands Sex & The City. Both are hilarious and the characters are easy to relate to. I also like Fear Factor, though I’d never want to participate in it.
