yeah, yeah, i know, i’m behind!! look, i’ve been busy.. and it’s not going to get better because next week i’m going to hawaii!! woo-hoo!! and i certainly hope i have better things to do in hawaii than blog! then again, maybe i’ll take the laptop to the beach or at least post a pretty picture of paradise once in awhile, i’m gonna be there for like 10 days! i’m very excited! mostly because of zippy’s & jitb, but it will be nice to see my friends too!
oh, but naturally after suffering thru a summer completely void of any entertainment value, except for the obvious (Superman Returns); since everything on tv sucked.. i mean did you watch that “Windfall” crap? man that was awful, i don’t even know what the point was.. to make me afraid to buy a lottery ticket because if i win my life will completely go to hell?! then again, “windfall” was about about 386 million times less boring than “Treasure Hunters”! and the drive in sucked too (there are only a couple weeks left, in fact they may be closed by the time i get back from honolulu), we only went like 5 times, if you don’t count the five or six times we went to see Superman Returns. it was also too hot and gas was too expensive to go anywhere - god i hate summer! but i digress.. my point was, and is, that after resorting to watching one Lifetime movie after another all summer ( and not for nothin’ but man there’s a lot of sex in those movies), now that the new season and new shows are finally starting - i’m not going to be here!! not that i’m complaining of course, i’d much rather be on the big island than in my livingroom watching “Grey’s Anatomy,” but thank god for Tivo! not only can i not imagine my life without it, i now can’t imagine my life without having my TWO Tivos! So I have all my season passes set up for the new season so there i won’t miss a thing. unless my friend who’s staying in my house to take care of Kylie fucks it up by trying to watch a stupid baseball game, but i’m planning a Tivo training session before i go to avoid that.
here’s my season pass schedule for the upcoming, new and sure to be exciting and not suck at all, television season (cause i know you wanna know):
Sunday
7:00 amazing race (not really looking forward to it, but i have missed phil)
8:00 cold case
9:00 without a trace
Monday
8:00* two & half men / new adv of old christine
heroes (probably gonna suck but my curiousity is peaked from all the stupid previews)
9:00 studio 60 (could be funny, we’ll see if it makes the cut)
Tuesday
7:30 30 rock (doesn’t start until oct 11)
8:00 law & order: ci
9:00* smith (seems repetitive & redundant, but i like ray liotta as much as the next guy)
boston legal
Wednesday
8:00* criminal minds
justice (already watched this a couple times and it’s not good, but i miss my spy daddy)
Thursday
7:00 survivor (just want to see how this racial profiling goes down, but i doubt this one stays on my list for long)
8:00* csi (please tell me grisom is not seriously sleeping with sarah, blechk!)
grey’s anatomy (please tell me the writers aren’t going to ruin this show)
9:00* six degrees (can’t believe i’m gonna watch a jj abrams show, i never learn)
e.r. (goran has got to get cast on another show so i can stop watching this mess!)
Friday
9:00* numbers (who knew math could be so exciting)
law & order (the original is still the best)
* indicates tag-teaming tivos will be necessary to resolve the scheduling conflicts.
well that’s it i think, but there have been some very deliberate, somewhat surprising ommissions like “CSI: Miami” - yep, I’m out! and “Lost,” because i realized the definition of insanity is watching the same stupid tv show week after week, season after season, and expecting different results, or ANY results for that matter! i just can’t take it anymore! my roomie is trying to convince me to at least watch the first couple of episodes because i’m gonna wanna know how they picked up. personally i’m thinking of trying to find the set while i’m in hawaii and setting fire to it, or at least finding Matthew Fox and knee-capping him.
and i’m not even gonna start watching that show “Kidnapped.” too many unlikeable people, like one of the Delanys (no, it doesn’t matter which), and Jeremy Sisto who i don’t think i can ever watch because in one of the four episodes of “six feet under” that i watched, his character was making out with his sister and trying to convince her it would be ok for them to have sex and it kinda feaked me out. ewwhhh!
Oh, and some other shows you won’t be surprised to NOT see on my list… “crossing jordan” - i cannot begin to understand how this show can possibly still be on tv. I suppose since we’re down to just doctors and cops and lawyers, shows that can combine more than one of those things will have a built-in audience. also will not be tivo-ing the “ghost whisperer” - i don’t think any explanation is required here.
anywhoozer, enjoy your television viewing and think of me with a mai tai in my hand rather than a remote!
