Programs do not start at the hour or half hour in France, and the majority of "prime time" shows begin at 8:50 pm (20h50) with more than one episode each week. The nightly new is always on at 8 pm (20h). Commercials are rarely shown during the programs, but more likely between the shows.

There are a few French channels that you can watch without subscribing to a cable provider: TF1,France 2, France 3, France 5, Arte, M6, and depending on where you live, there are local channels as well as foreign channels of bordering countries. Canal+ is available at some times, but you must subscribe and pay extra if you want to watch it at all times. There are of course several other channels: France 4, France ô, W9, TMC, NRJ, Paris Première, Téva, RTL9, AB 1, NT1, etc.

Most American television shows are eventually broadcast in France, though several months later than in the US and dubbed in French. (You will find that almost every foreign program is dubbed rather than subtitled). Not all programs or channels support subtitling/closed captioning, but if your TV is equipped with télétexte, you should be able to read the subtitles in French as well. And a series does not have to be a hit in the US to be broadcast in France; several shows that were cancelled after one year in the US are still shown here.

A lot of programs have the same names in French (Bones, Heroes, Desperate Housewives, etc.) while others have French words added (Lost, les disparus). Here are a few programs that are different in French: Baywatch - Alerte à Malibu; Seventh Heaven - 7 à la Maison; CSI - Les Experts; Without a Trace - FBI: Portés Disparus; The Young & the Restless - Les Feux de l'Amour; One Tree Hill - Les Frères Scott; Crossing Jordan - Preuve à l'appui.

And because I watch several shows that involve solving crime, here is some specialized vocabulary that you probably won't ever use, but you'll need to recognize if you watch crime dramas:

assault l'agression (f) prosecutor le procureur
blackmail le chantage rape le viol
blackmailer le maître-chanteur sketch le portrait-robot
criminal record le casier judiciaire stabbed poignardé
defendant l'accusé (m) strangled étranglé
evidence la pièce à conviction surveillance la filature
federal case délit fédéral suspect le suspect
gun le flingue to arrest arrêter
handcuffs les menottes (f) to con/cheat escroquer
homicide l'homicide (f) to harass harceler
investigation l'enquête (f) to press charges porter plainte
kidnapping l'enlèvement (m) to report missing porter disparu
laundering le blanchiment to run away s'enfuir
lead la piste / l'indice to shoot tirer
loaded (gun) chargé warrant le mandat
murder le meurtre weapon l'arme (m)
paperwork la paperasse witness le témoin
