My Constant Companion
I like to think I don’t watch a whole lot of television, and for the most part, I don’t. Oh, it’s on, but it’s more for background noise while I work than anything else. There’s quite a difference in daytime and nighttime programming, let me say this much. And while I can’t resist Prime Time TV, it’s easy to ignore the daytime blaring of soap operas, advertisements for a mesothelioma lawyer, and reruns of Petticoat Junction on the TVLand channel.
Prime time? That’s another story. I either have to keep the tube off or work during commercials. Heh. My favorites right now are:
The Olympics: Come on. Who doesn’t love the Winter Olympics? Except for that poor Georgian luger that lost his life the first day. Holy shitzer, man. That was AWUL.
Boss Undercover: Here, a CEO or owner of a big company (so far it’s been a waste management company and Hooters – yes, THAT Hooters) goes undercover and checks out what their company is doing down in the trenches. Most of the time, the CEO fails miserably at the menial tasks people like you and I do every day, and they come away enlightened and galvanized to make some changes in the way they do business. Very interesting.
The Amazing Race/American Idol/Survivor/Project Runway: I’m a reality show ho. There. I said it.
Castle: A mystery series about a writer who shadows a detective in New York City. I watch this show for one reason and one reason only — NATHAN FILLION! Omg. *swoon* *drool* *thud!*
I’m waiting patiently for Flash Forward to come back. I’m sick of networks dropping good shows before they ever get a chance to take off (Defying Gravity?) so I tend to stay away from series.
What are your favorites?
