After 2 days I’m already at 8 hours of TV out of an eventual 21, the quick math will tell you that if I keep this up, I’ll have to cut about 7 hours of TV by the end of the week. The good news is that Saturday is coming and I’d rather watch tumbleweed blow through an old west town than any of the leftovers networks throw up Saturday night (Throwing up leftovers. Never a good thing.)
With Lost out ’til January, anything on Wednesday worth watching?
Wednesday
Midweek TV is all about the new stuff this year. I’ve already talked last week about how excited I am for Pushing Daisies, and how torn I am on Kid Nation (of which I will only be able to watch half) and Back to You. Bionic Woman rounds out the newbies on Wednesday that will get the chance to live on my DVR. What’s funny is I don’t plan on watching what will likely be the biggest new show on Wednesday, the Grey’s spin off, Private Practice. Never got into Grey’s Anatomy don’t plan to start now with the sequel. Also of note is that Wednesday holds the most depressing show on TV, CSI:NY. How can you miss when you combine the proven genius of the CSI format with New York City and the amazing Gary Sinise? By making it completely dark, dreary, and dreadful, that’s how.
