Hey, two blogs in a row! It's been a while since I've done this... :)
Go to Wikipedia and look up any show you can think of. Well, make sure it's somewhat popular. I'll give you an example. Now look in that box on the right... there is a link to the TV.com summary for that show. Pretty much every show I've looked at on Wikipedia now has a link to its TV.com guide right up front. Has anybody else noticed this? Doesn't it make you all warm and fuzzy inside? ;) Anyone who hadn't been here before would think this place was a real classy institution. BTW, that Wikipedia article on Lost is truly unbelievable. Bet you can't find that in the Brittanica.
So this how my daily routine goes: I wake up, I roll around for a little while, then I turn on the TV. I try to catch one of those morning shows (either Today, Regis and Kelly, The Price is Right, or the Evening News, depending on what time I get up) and then I check my on-screen guide to see what's coming on tonight. That last part has been horribly disappointing the last couple of weeks.
It happens every single year but somehow I'm never prepared. One night you have the Simpsons, Family Guy, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, and the next night you have absolutely nothing. Wednesday I found myself watching "Game Show Marathon" (which, oddly enough, is neither a game show or marathon) and I would have rather watched nothing... but there's a part of my brain that shudders at the thought of turning off the TV. And so these are the dark ages.
However, if you're a fan of reality shows this Summer is going to be awesome! You've got "So You Think You Can Dance," "America's Got Talent," "Last Comic Standing," and other ridiculously played out concept shows. I must admit, even I have a couple of reality shows coming up that brighten up the summer. I've been watching "Big Brother" since it started 6 years ago, and I enjoyed last year's "Rock Star" more than any other reality show. Ever.
Plus, the 4400 comes back Sunday. Woot Woot! It's actually kinda fun to have a drama show like that that only comes on in the summer. Sure, you have to wait a whole year, but there's not a whole lot on for sci-fi fans like myself in the Summer and it is a very welcome reprieve from the usual stuff.
What shows will you be watching this summer? Or are you one of those "get out and enjoy life" people? If so, shame on you! You're endangering the livelihoods of thousands of TV employees. ;)
That's all for today. Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by.
