Lately with countless bottle feedings and Pea being sick for over a week we've been watching a lot of TV. It's terrible, I assure you, but in light of our total immersion allow me to indulge myself...Let's get down to the business of shows; first let me start out by stating that The Office reruns are still the funniest thing on television. That's what she said. She being me. Moving on...
Some observations:
-Do not watch Yo Gabba Gabba if you take elicit drugs. It could send you off the cliffs of sanity.
-After seeing just two episodes of The Exterminators I am convinced that the state of Louisiana is in point of fact the seventh circle of Hell or if not then definitely ground zero for one of the seven deadly plagues.
-Bones, The Closer, and Law & Order are my meat and potatoes. All have their own flavor, but they are staples nonetheless.
-Freaks and Geeks is new to me though it had a short run in the late nineties. Parts of that show are genius. The casting for one is impeccable. I must say that had I watched this show on the first go round its said genius might have alluded me because it might have too closely resembled reality for me junior year of high school.
-Shear Genius and Project Runway satisfy my creative slash make-over needs.
-And the two shows I can not believe I'm going to admit I LOVE, but shouldn't are: The Vampire Diaries ("yep, that's right, the one on the CW" she says shaking her head in shame.) and Real Housewives of New Jersey. GTL only with housewives not named Snookie. Each satisfy my drama quota...
-Favorite Reruns of all time that I can find NOWHERE on TV are Wonder Years, I Love Lucy, and Perry Mason (not the cheap 80's version of PM, the Mad Men-like Perry of the late 1950's)
And speaking of Mad Men...
-It is the best show on TV, end of story. It's metaphors and contradictions are cause for much speculation and interpretation which I, of course, adore. Having said that, it really does not have redeeming qualities. If you're looking for a Full House moment of moral reflection; let me be clear: it's not happening. For Casey's benefit I'll repeat what I said in the car on the way to Drew's wedding: "Oh Don Draper your life is a lie, but everything you do in private is just so you can feel something real."
It's high time I take up reading again. Up next? The Help. I'll post a review...
For now, yours in TV Land,

Oh friend, how I love you. I've had the exact same thought about Yo Gabba Gabba, definitely an acid trip - with or without the acid. I also love Project Runway and The Office. But you didn't mention The Hills or The City. What's up with that? And Friday Night Lights is seriously awesome. On a literary note, I read The Help and LOVED it...one of my favorite recent reads.
Oh wait, one more! What about So You Think You Can Dance. Please tell me you watch it.
