My TV Habits

April 27, 2005

I don’t watch TV much. There are several reasons. One is that our TV is in our basement and it is FREEZING down there.

Second, I find the internet much more interesting.

Third, I don’t do well with most of what’s on. I’m one of those types that hears about a small child getting kidnapped and I become an obsessive lunatic for the next two weeks, certain my kids will be snatched up by every person that walks by. Same thing happens when I see a show about murder, rape, car accidents, terminal illnesses…in other words, basically everything that’s on.

And after all that, most of what’s left is sex. You know, the really wholesome, edifying kind that you never see because it happens between husband and wife in the privacy of their own bedroom. Not.

I’ve had to grieve the loss of many a show. My favorite has been blacklisted in fact. Alias. I had a secret longing to be Sydney Bristow of course. That chic rocks.

In the first two seasons, I enjoyed the drama, twists, turns, suspense; and there wasn’t a lot of trash (i.e. gratuitous sex, people dying gruesome and violent deaths, etc.). But unfortunately the trash soon started to creep in. Then it increased. So, I kicked that show to the curb. Not without a lot of grief as I said. But I got over it.

So now I watch two shows. The Amazing Race is one. I’ve watched it this season mainly because I want to see Rob and Amber die a humiliating reality TV death. How kind of me.
