Well, it's almost midnight on the Friday of one of my favourite weeks - Season Premiere week...actually, this year was a bonus with one of my favourites, Prison Break, starting in August!! Yes, I confess, I truly am a TV junkie. I know, it's not something I should be proud of but hey, there's a lot worse things I could be addicted to (like McDonald's or Diet Coke...somewhat harmless but potentially life threatening). I admit, I love my kids dearly but I'm very grateful that they go to bed at 8:00 and if I don't have plans to do something else, I love knowing that I have the rest of the evening to relax and regenerate in front of the "idiot box". Trust me though, it's not like I'm just sitting there doing nothing. It's amazing how much you can get done during commercials...laundry, cleaning, paperwork, reading (that one book I've been trying to get through for what seems like months!). I've recently even accelerated my ability to multi-task by getting my husband to hook up our dish and a TV in my office. I'm hoping to get even more done now...maybe even some scrapbooking again!! I can tell winter's coming. I'm getting that cocooning/hibernating urge. I'm just going to hide away in my office and not come out again until spring.
As usual, I've gotten away from the purpose of my post...the fabulous new fall season of shows. First I'll list my top 5 shows from last year. These are the ones I just couldn't miss, not in any particular order: 1) Grey's Anatomy 2) Bones 3) Numbers 4) Prison Break and 5) What About Brian (mid-season add-in...loved it!!)
Ok, I probably should have done Top 10 because I also really like Amazing Race, Survivor, Medium, 24 and Desperate Housewives. Some of you are probably wondering how a TV-watching expert like myself could have a list like that and not include House and Lost...nope, never watched them...c'mon now, I can't watch everything. lol!!!
Now as far as the new shows this fall, I'm going to try to help you pick the good and weed out the bad so you don't waste any of your precious time. Ok, I have to admit I'm just winging this a bit since I haven't watched all the new shows but I'll just give you my opinion based on what I've seen or read about them.
Not to be missed: Studio 60, Vanished, Men In Trees and 6 Degrees. I watched 6 Degrees last night and thought it was great...it got great reviews today too. Two that haven't started yet that I'm looking forward to are The Nine and Brothers and Sisters.
There are a few shows getting good reviews but I'm not watching...I just can't fit any more in. There's Shark, Smith, Kidnapped, and Jericho. The one new comedy that looks pretty good is The Class. It's from the people that did Friends and Mad About You...two of my old time favourites.
So there you have it, sit down and relax and watch a mindless hour of TV every now and then. What could possibly happen...it's not like you'll develop some strange habit like repeating yourself over and over. But I have heard watching too much TV causes people to repeat themselves over and over. lol!!!!! It's my giddy hour, I'm cracking myself up!!!!!!
Have a great weekend!!
