I don't watch anything regularly. News and sports are a given. Likewise, Animal Planet, Discovery and History Channel when in the mood for some nature. Sometimes I watch food or travel shows.
Rarely, I also watch some random cartoon.

Comedy Nights
Bigg Boss (have to sometimes since my sister and mom are avid followers)
Masterchef Australia - love it
Headlines Today and other news channels just to keep up with the latest
Nat Geo and Discovery Channel - occasionally.
Though the list is big, but I rarely watch more than 3-4 hours in a week. Feel like an idiot if I sit in front of it watching cable for too long

Only now have started to watch TV again.
*Plus = Mahabharat.
Zee Cafe = Poirot.
Otherwise it just runs in the background.

LOL. Exactly my thought.
I am dragged into one 'saas bahu' serial in our local channel (Assamese channel). Most of the times, as the schedule coincide with our dinner timing.
Poirot - is it the same Agatha Christie Poirot? Timings in Zee cafe?
Whenever I go to my uncle's home, they usually watch these saas bahu serials one after other non stop. Ugh. I read the paper or if it becomes unbearable I say bye and leave for home.People here seem to avoid watching the saas-bahu with their wives / moms because they may fear getting addicted to them
Retarded serials. Someones always crying or planning to make others cry. Plus the 3 second zooms on heavily painted faces of everyone in the scene, gives me nightmares.
I haven't renewed my DTH connection as I don't watch much 'Indian' TV and the great web is my source for all things 'Western'. I however enjoy certain programming on Indian TV when I am at my friend's house:
Best of luck, Nikki
Comedy Nights with Kapil
Crime Patrol
Fear Files

The worst is:
Mind thoughts translated to voice-over dialogues. The character is thinking something, and the voice over "says" it. Usually full-blown dialogue sequences are carried out in this manner. The actors look like demented versions of the hero from Kubriks' 'Orange. It took me 4-5 minutes to figure out WTF was happening. LOOOOL.
Have you watched B.R Chopra's Mahabharata which first aired 2 decades ago on Doordarshan ?
Of course. All of it. It was one of the breakfast staples for Sundays. Then He-Man, Spider Man, and the evening movie. We all waited for. Also the Star Trek runs, before Mahabharata came around...! The streets / colonies used to be isolated. Only KBC has had this maniacal following.
