Intro

I am an admitted TV junkie, which brings me to the reason for this blog. This is where I can express my opinions, frustrations and joys of the television world. I look forward to two issues of TV Guide, The Fall Preview and Returning Favorites. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t spend my life sitting in front of the television. TV is my guilty pleasure, my escape from reality. I record most all of the shows/movies I watch on TV. With the odd schedules and responsibilities it is impossible to sit down every night and watch uninterrupted, so I have two VCR’s, (I had three, but one died, need to get another before the new fall season starts) and I record my shows. The way I figure it I can watch more television that way since I get to fast forward through the commercials.

When do I watch? While I do my domestic duties and hobbies or late at night if I can’t sleep. Sometimes I get behind a week or so, don’t be surprised if I am not up to date with my thoughts and opinions.

What will you find here if you decide to read? I watch most hour long shows, some movies and the occasional obscure item. What won’t you find? No half hour comedies or reality shows. The comedies have their purpose and many enjoy them, but I have three greyhounds, a husband, and well our extended family could be a sitcom, (wasn’t that a reality show once?) regardless, my life has enough comedy.

As for reality shows, I used to watch a few, but then they all bled together. A mixture of chosen personalities thrown together to create conflict and act like adolescents, I don’t need that kind of mind numbing escape. I have a couple of childish adolescents masquerading as adults in my neighborhood, that’s enough reality for me, it occasionally adds to the comedy as well.

Regardless, you’ll get my personal opinions, my frustrations with the major networks and some insight to some great programming. Feel free to share your thoughts.
