Television: September 2005 Archives

so, this is not my idea.  as we all well know, i do not have many original ideas.  but i thought i would plot out the amount of television i watch each night.  this does not include the news or crap tv until my "shows" come on.

sun is for desperate housewives & grey's anatomy = 2

mon is for two & a half men, how i met your mother = 1

tues is for gilmore girls, the amazing race & boston legal = 3

wed is for lost = 1

thur is for survivor (t's fault), and csi = 2

fri is for threshhold (also t's fault) = 1

for a grand total of 10 hours.  like i said, that doesn't include all the other crap tv i watch in between.  like i watch charmed here and there since i am waiting on netflix to bring it to me.  or the movies or mtv on saturdays.  if i were to add it up, it would be a lot, and it would be a second job for me to watch all of it.  so i am going to start a new policy in my household: no tv before 8pm.  silence is golden, and t and i can have dinner, talk, read, grade, go out for a walk, play with the cats.  to hell with the local news, it can be read online.  something to give us time to think.

so thomas made me watch a new tv show last night.  now i should warn you that i like scary things.  but this had uber scary moments.  and bloody noses which are the grossest thing anyone can put on the television.

so we watched threshold.  and it has the guy who played ethan on lost.  that man has a career made in playing creepy dudes.  i screamed at one point only after having said ten seconds earlier, he is right there, he is right there, and then he was... and i screamed.  i startle easily.

I must say that i loved it.  i liked that it was weird and scif-fiesque while remaining creepy and scary and somewhat realistic.  even though the writers did add a few lines in there that were cheasy and expected.  not to mention there were a couple of plot "twists" that were predictable.  other than that, i loved it.

yeah, i admit that i watch some bad tv.  has anyone else out there watch my super sweet sixteen?  i seriously think these kids are the reason people spank.  for fear that their kids will grow up to be as bratty as these kids.  i mean come on, tell the brat no and by them the used audi instead of the new one.  seriously.  but it captivates me.

so i watch the d-list kathy griffin show.  i find her wildly amusing.  i mean, she definitely works her butt off to get somewhere and make a name for herself.  yet at the same time, she does it at the expense of the people she wants so desperately to hang out with... i think it is the best paradox i have been presented on tv since w's yale degree.  oops, did i just reveal that i am a liberal?

ok, done with the post.  off to bed after i write a post-it to  remind me to pick up breakfast for my class tomorrow... i am an idge sometimes.
