I watch it on occasion. Usually the aesthetics bother the heck out of me, for some reason. It just looks like it's lost in some 80's low budget set with inadequate lighting... The shows just seem like they'd be better for the radio, and when I could get that, I enjoyed it. For the most part, it seems like the video doesn't add to the value of the content all that much.

I don't have it, so I don't watch it. I had it as an add on to my cable before. I thought I would watch it all the time, but, no offense, I found many of the programs were low quality and annoying to watch. I was kinda sad that it wasn't better. Many shows looked like 1970-80s television. Focus wasn't sharp, colors were dull. I know that it is the content that is important, but it would seriously make me think that this is why people think the Catholic Church is stuck in the past... Like watching those videotapes in baptism prep courses. Always outdated hairstyles, etc. How can people take it seriously without being able to relate to what they see on the screen??

I watched the two priests, but that was about it. I think I saw a conversation with Scott Hahn once too.

:idontknow:

I don't think I will ever reorder it.

I put sometimes, but only because my cable provider only has it on from 9 pm to 9 am. If they had it on at times that I was awake, well I'd watch it constantly! I never miss Life on the Rock!

I haven't been watching it that long... why did they stop that?

I watch it sometimes, although some of the shows are pretty boring. I really wish they had a documentary/National Geographic copycat type show where they highlight a different cathedral every week. That would be totally sweet.

An even doper idea would be to make a "Real World" type show where they film life inside a religious community somewhere.

I watch it from time to time. I don't get the channel at home so I can only watch it while I am home. Sometimes I catch Life on the Rock or the show with two Priests or I'll stop if something looks interesting.

That would be really cool as long as they did it with good cameras and stuff. None of the grainy stuff they use now.

When I used to watch EWTN about 7 years ago, the nuns lived at the monastery where the Mass is taped. It was awesome. You actually were inside the choir with Mother Angelica and nuns. They even showed the professions and receptions of the habit. I watched that Mass once or twice each and every day. When the nuns moved to the new monastery they did not bring the cameras with them. So the Mass changed to be the priests/brothers.
The shows for the most part are not very good. I was sadly dissapointed when I got to see a Mass last year, it certainly was not well sung.
