What the...?

Current mood: eyeballs glued to the talking picture box

Holy moly, when did TV get good again? I swear, I am NBC's b*tch!! I thought, when Alias and TWW ended and the WB died, since I don't watch 24 in real time, that I would be free from the tyranny of network TV. And, while House and those Desperate Housewives haven't really fired my interest this season, I am helpless like a puppy at the onslaught of thoughtful and blatantly shock- and suspense-ful dramedies. Both episodes of Heroes have had me jumping up and down in antici...............................pation and squealing at the glorious goriness. If it stays good like this, I'll be hopelessly addicted, which will slightly piss me off, because I really don't handle cliff-hanger serials very well when I can't get the whole season at once. And, while Heroes is kind of a weird lead-in, I definitely stay for Studio 60's own merits. I loves me some non-Josh Bradley Whitford, and Matt Perry isn't exactly a slouch, either! Now, all I need on Mondays are new episodes of Medium, and I'll have a full-night NBC sweep! Friday Night Lights is probably the finest non-movie TV I've ever seen, which is going to be a serious problem, because it conflicts with Gilmore Girls, which is so not sucking this season. Meanwhile, the Lostarama continues, and then all of a sudden it's Thursday again. I'm still amused by Grey's Anatomy, but the real winners that night are Ugly Betty (fresh! new! heartwarming!) and ER. I was THISCLOSE to giving up on ER and watched it out of sheer habit last season, but the old warhorse has gotten a new wind and has recaptured my interest. Plus, if I'm not careful, I think I could totally get sucked into the alterna-Buffyverse of Veronica Mars. Seriously, I'm going to put in some major couch time this year.

And I thought that I would have nothing to watch when I got rid of cable! Perhaps it's time to break down and get a recording device...thingy so I won't be chained to my TV all year...
