Lately I have been somewhat angsty about TV. It’s summer so of course there is (almost*) nothing to watch. Which is kind of a drag. I don’t want to watch TV every<\/i> night, but a few nights a week it’s nice to have some visual entertainment of an hour or less, to relax the brain and provide something to look at while folding laundry. And since we don’t have cable we can’t really channel surf, which is one of the main reasons we got rid of cable anyway.<\/p>\n
* Except for Flight of the Conchords, which is completely hilarious! And Weeds is starting up again in a matter of days, yay! Of course, these are half hour long short seasoned cable shows, so they’ll be over in practically an eyeblink.<\/p>\n
Somehow over the course of last TV season we seem to have acquired a lot of shows. Veronica Mars ended,** so that freed up a little space. And Battlestar Galactica*** has that weird season that runs at weird times, and won’t start again til January or something? So maybe that doesn’t count. Or maybe Flight of the Conchords + Weeds + BSG = one normal show.<\/p>\n
** Which was sad, except not as much as it could have been since the season was not so good. Except for the finale! If the whole season had been as good as the finale I’d be much sadder. Even so, to quote a friend, “she’s no Buffy.”<\/p>\n
*** Last season of BSG was sort of confusing and lackluster, too, despite the extended guest starrage of Lucy Lawless. Hopefully things will get better.<\/p>\n
And we watch House, too, though apparently the kids really did<\/i> quit during the season finale. Which is fine since we like the grown ups better.<\/p>\n
And The Office, how could we not<\/i> watch it? Yay Kelly<\/a>!<\/p>\n
