If my TV was to be disconnected today, I very much doubt I would be distressed. (Herself would be very distressed). While I enjoy staring mindlessly at the 42 inch plasma screen at the end of the day, It is more of an unwinding tool that I use to relax before sleep. I will glance at many shows when surfing through the myriad of channels, but few can hold my attention. There are a few shows on Discovery or History that will actually keep my attention, but they are few and far between. Live at 5 is usually on while we have supper, and it is my preferred (TV) news source. (Really, boys, how can you not look forward to seeing Cindy Day read the weather). Our local bland, boring and buffoonery 6 PM news has lost me, but I will watch the first 5 minutes each night.
....and then I discovered House! Hugh Laurie is absolutely brilliant. Having just watched the entire first season, I am looking forward to watching the entire second season. While the general theme of each show can become somewhat repetitive, the acting is astonishing and the casting of actors is perfect.
Bones comes second. Really, Michaela Conlin, how hot is she?
