New TeeVee Season
I skimmed through the fall preview version of Entertainment Weekly to figure out what shows are on each night.
Highlights of my profound reading and black box watching:
- Prison Break is my new guilty pleasure (on Fox on Mondays). The premise is so ridiculous it's laughable. But it's great eye candy.
- Gilmore Girls is as unrealistic as ever. It's still fabulous female fare. (on WB on Tuesdays)
- Finally saw the last two hours of Lost, season one. Still doesn't make much sense, but it is amusing to see the masses grapple with twists as detailed as the first season of Alias.
- West Wing moved to Sundays! Finally, a major reason to not watch Extreme Makover: Home Edition. Mmmm...Jimmy Smits....
- Commander in Chief is on ABC on Tuesdays. One big chick fest again on Tuesday nights. Reminds me of the good ol' days of watchin Buffy on Tuesdays...
- I have to choose between Alias and the Chris Rock show. Damnit. Granted, I missed most of last season of Alias because of another time conflict. It's still annoying.
- Arrested Development moved to Mondays. woohoo! Unfortunately, The War at Home, which replaced it, blows huge chunks.
- How I Met Your Mother also on Mondays.
I'm trying hard to limit myself as much as possible....I'm choosing Alias or that Chris Rock's life-based show over The O.C....stopped watching Reunion after the first ep...and not bothering with most of the new dramas and comedies. Perhaps my conference call schedule will stop me from being as addicted as I anticipate being. For now, my favorite shows continue to be Chicago Tonight on PBS and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Comedy Central.
