The boob tube.
During most seasons I don’t watch a lot of TV. I’ll usually have one show or two that I’m partially committed to, but thanks to recent crazy drama shows, Blockbuster Online, and On Demand, I’ll say TV is slowly winning its way back into my heart. Or back into my “free, i should be doing something productive, time.” Inspired by Emily B., here is a preview of shows I hope to keep up with. Armed with my computer as my TiVO, there’s no stopping me this fall!
Lost - Season 3, October 4th (Wed, 8pm) - It started out one afternoon in Lubbock. My buds, Em D and Beach, decided to spend all afternoon watching one disc of Lost. I had heard of all the hype around this show, so I spent the afternoon with them. Five hours later, I was hooked for good. I will be on the second disc of season two soon, so don’t fill me in yet!
Grey’s Anataomy - Season 3, September 21st (Thurs, 8pm) - This, too, started in Lubbock in that same house with those same friends and then some. It had to grow on me, but now I’m renting the past seasons like crazy to catch up. I didn’t think anything could match up to ER, but this one has just enough insane-o drama to keep me interested. Everybody loves an affair! Yes?
Nip/Tuck - Season 4, September 5th (Tues, 9pm) - Speaking of insane-o drama, this one probably takes the cake. This show is so sick and twisted that I can’t look away. Sex, surgeons, and now scientology? It’s a guilty pleasure, I know.
Survivor: Cook Islands - Season 13, September 14th (Thurs, 7pm) - Battle of the races. Who’s not going to tune in? African-Americans, Latinos, Asians, and Caucasians — ohhhh man, will I pull for my fellow Asians or the white man that always seems to be just sneaky and knieving enough!
Other shows I might keep up with:
30 Rock - Season 1, October 11th (Wed, 7pm) - I think Tina Fey is funny. So naturally, I hope that this will be funny too.
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip - Season 1, September 18th (Mon, 9pm) - I hear it’ll give Tina Fey a run for her money since they both deal with similar subjects and have somewhat of an all-star cast.
Friday Night Lights - Season 1, October 3rd (Tues, 7pm) - I grew up in Stephenville, Texas, where high school football is king. We’ll see where this goes.
Anybody have any suggestions to add? What are you guys going to watch?
