Current Mood: Do I really have time for this?
I've never watched 24 in real time. I don't think I would like it. I had a hard time handling DVD breaks (must watch more – NOW), let alone cliffhangers for commercials and week-long waits for plot advancement (who's going into the death pool next??!!). But now that I'm all caught up and no more new episodes live at the movie store, and I'm being tempted daily by those ever-present Fox ads (Seriously, the movie-man voice said, "All hail the power of Bauer!!" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA - awesome.), in addition to the sheer programming brilliance of starting with a 4-hour season premiere, my resolve to abstain until the season 6 DVDs are available is continually wavering. The problem is, if I dip my toe in for the opener, I know I will be sucked in for the entire season and there will be no escape. I will need to know WHO DO YOU WORK FOR??!!, long to be told to DROP [MY] WEAPON!!, and Kiefer (heh, Microsoft Word knows that Kiefer is a correctly-spelled word) might need my breathless, shrieking, real-time help to once again save the world. Also, can I really do without my timely dose of the VOK?
I'm guess I'm pretty full up with a regular rotation including Heroes (best new show for comic book geeks, paranormal geeks, and, hey, calling all geeks! This show rocks!), Gilmore Girls (sorta just above s*cking but I just can't look away - plus cute clothes), Friday Night Lights (completely addictive archetypes portrayed with impeccable acting), House (snarky is good, but season three may be my last unless something interesting happens soon), Medium (PA is annoying but the show is well written and the kids are cute), Ugly Betty (laugh laugh laugh, and VW is smokin'-ly perfect), Grey's Anatomy (pretty, pretty people), ER (suddenly with 50% less s*cking! Go Luby!), and Desperate Housewives (meh, better, but we'll see. What's up with these skanktastic teens? I don't watch the OC for a reason.). However, I did manage to kick Studio 60 (turns out I miss Josh, not Bradley), Las Vegas (turns out the pretty is not enough), and Law & Order: SVU (finally kicked the L&O habit) off my viewing island. Argh, speaking of islands, I forgot that Lost comes back in February and I haven't *quite* given up on my Lostaways. Though, I no longer watch reruns of SATC or Friends or Will & Grace, so that should count for something.
Aaaaaaeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!, what to do?
(Wow, I watch a lot of TV.)
(And then read about it on TWOP!)
(Whee, I love TV!!)
