Television

We're a couple of weeks into the new television season, so I thought I'd post about what I'm watching. Because, years from now, when my kids find this post through some much better version of Google, possibly embedded in their heads, I want them to know that I watched the originals of what they're watching in rerun form. Okay, that's not the real reason. I only made that up because I felt I needed a reason to tell you about the things I watch, but really, I don't. It's my blog. You can leave at any time. (please don't. I like having you here.)

One thing I must say: according to my mother, I watch too much TV. I know. It's kind of a social thing.
Here it goes:

The Event--I mainly started watching this one because I heard it was going to be the new Lost, and I kind of missed the boat on that one. It's got me hooked...for now. Plus, my co-workers all watch it, so we talk about it around the water cooler (aka the Receptionists' desk).

Glee--Y'all, I don't know about this season. That Brittney Spears episode was not even good. I think the writers are out of ideas on how to incorporate songs into every day life. Are Rogers and Hammerstein still around? Maybe they could help. Sue Sylvester and Brittany S. Pierce still make me laugh out loud, though.

Running Wilde--I'm giving this one three more episodes. So far, not so impressed.

Parenthood--This is one of my favorites. It's real. It has made me think, cry, and laugh out loud.

Modern Family--So funny.

Community, 30 Rock, The Office--Also funny.

Grey's Anatomy--I almost gave up on this show. It wasn't so great for a while, but it's made a comeback in my book. I have definitely wanted to cry in several episodes. And the friendship between Merideth and Christina I love. There may be a whole post someday on just that. Oh, and I really like the writing. It may not be super realistic, but those characters sure do make some terrific speeches.

So there you have it. I would ask if there are any shows I don't watch that I should, but I really don't want to know. I already watch too much.
