I really don't see it on TV all that much anymore in comparison to last year...the only regularly scheduled Poker shows are at 4:00 on City TV on Sundays and Saturday Night Poker on Sportsnet...correct me if I'm wrong but that ain't too much if you ask me. You'll see it on The Score every now and then, but come on, who watches the Score anyways.
As far as why it is so popular I guess it's one of those things that you have to play to figure out...I'm sure there are a lot of people who don't like hockey and wonder why it is so popular. I'll agree that I don't think it is a sport...hell it's not even close to a sport...it is a profession for some and entertainment for many more. I for one love it and play a great deal both on-line as well as live and I hope more people continue to pick it up because that just means more money for me.

Poker should be shot in the face, if it had a face.
I've played some texas hold'em in my day, but it's unwatchable. It's one of the worst things to happen to sports television, maybe even worse than the sportsnet hockeycentral panel or even Pierre Maguire (That lilbones delivers monster zingers. MONSTER. HE DIONED ME!)
Now if they had Maguire commentating poker, I'd cancel my cable on principle alone.

I liked watching that 1 they did from Vegas with Dave Foley and that one poker xpert, and they had all those stars, pretty funny shit some of it....
I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!

glad to see i'm not the only one
on a side-note i've seen many friends and friends of friends who became hooked on it since as well, worst case is the ppl who bet online and lose paycheck after paycheck

Are they still petitioning to make poker an Olympic event? I heard that a while ago and thought - how on earth is that a sport.
