It's there- I watch it when I have nothing to do- which is rare. My faves- which I only catch maybe one or two episodes a year- are House and The Office. I will watch bits of Saturday Night Live. But my true embarassing vice is that the one show I do watch American Idol. As someone who used to pretend she was holding a Grammy award when she was a kid, who played and sang for years in stinky bars with that fantasy of being a famous musician... American Idol is as close as I can get to seeing that dream of coming from no where and making it. I know a lot of it is prepackaged, commericalized, homogenized crap. I know Simon's a jerk. But to see a twenty-four year old bartender who plays in cover bands stand up on a lit up stage and belt out a rock version of Eleanor Rigby to a nearly standing ovation, or some seventeen year old stand in a flat room and sing a capella with a goosebump voice- it just makes me happy.

TV (like a lot of things) is a lot like fire, isn't it? Good servant, but terrible master. Apologies for the double-post, but a thought just struck me.

My parents, sadly, have somewhat turned into the "watching just to watch" sort of viewers, and it drives me nuts. I'm very easily distracted, so if my mom (or anyone else) is trying to hold a conversation with me while the TV is on (especially with the sound at anything less than whisper-level), can you guess what's going to keep drawing my attention? Besides, I'm not a very good person to watch TV with anyway, because unless I hold my tongue, I'm going to be making a running snarky commentary throughout the ENTIRE show. (And I think we can all agree with certain shows, that's not hard to accomplish.) Way too much MST3K, methinks. ;) Wow, Jade, if that’s how you grew up, I can’t blame you for your loathing of the boob tube!

Grouchy and adorable. And as for the TV debate, there's only a small handful of shows I like to watch, I absolutely hate watching re-runs, but sometimes if I'm all by myself I'll turn it on just to hear people talking. :x I may not even be watching it, I might be reading or knitting or whatever. I like it better than the radio, because I can ignore the TV, the radio I dance around and don't get anything done! *blush* Actually, come to think of it, I'm always doing SOMETHING, even if I'm watching tv. Puzzles, knitting, what have you. Hmm. Odd. Oh! I love Olysseus. Grouchy and adorable.

Wonderful character depth achieved. B, I remain a huge fan. I don't watch TV, exactly. If there is a show I like, I download it, & watch it at my leaisure (normally while I work). I've been downloading a bunch of British shows recently. Burn Notice. Doctor Who. Torchwood. Primeval. Secret Diary of a Call Girl. House. Lost. Can't wait for Whedon's Dollhouse (if you haven't, you gotta watch is Dr. Horrible's Singalong Blog web show!). Fringe looks neat. I REALLY dig this page. Wonderful character depth achieved.
