Here’s the thing about TV. I hate it.
I really do.
It’s like I’m in a bad relationship with it. I get all excited then I’m getting
ready to spend time with it and when things get rolling everything is fine and
we face each other and I listen as TV talks and we get into a rhythm and then I
think, “I need some cereal.” (cereal: another thing I love that I hate) and
soon the dog is licking the last of the milk out of the bowl on the floor and I
am totally engrossed with everything TV is saying. I’m like, ‘You are kidding me?!” and TV’s all, “No, for
reals.”
Then it’s 2:30 in the morning.
“Son of a pistol, those stinkin’ kids are gonna wake up in 5
hours regardless of what Senator Underwood is gonna do now.” So I make a vow. Never again. And the shows almost over
and I hate myself for doing this, I’ve got TV on my body, on my body like a
tattoo and then…HE KILLED THE CONGRESSMAN!! You are joking me?!!
Then it’s 3:30 in the morning.
“I WILL KILL YOU!! I hate you so much for doing this to me
TV! I have to work in 3 hours I will never get this sleep back! YOU DON’T EVEN
CARE! This is always your plan!
Whether I sit down at noon or a midnight you goal is the same, never ever let
him leave that couch*.”
And so it goes.
I have canceled the cable and found myself at 4:30 am waiting to see how
much this lady’s grandmothers candlesticks, which she found in 1921 next to a
dead hobo in upstate New York, will now fetch at auction.
It literally doesn’t matter. Golden Girls? Love ‘em, I know
every name. Nashville? Check. Glee? Okay…well?...okay fine. Frasier? Oh you bet! Scrubs? Yes, but
not the ninth season. Arrested Development? Duh. Buffy the Vampire Slayer?
There has never EVER been a better show to grace the frame of my television. Freaks
and Geeks? Own it. It’s Always
Sunny in Philadelphia? Filthy! Fine I’ll watch…oh, love it.
I have horrible
taste in TV and that’s because I have no hang ups. I’ll watch whatever as long
as I keep liking it and as long as TV keeps pumping it at me, with that said,
here are my recommendations for this Falls line up:
First: Get off the couch and play with your kids, because guess what, they canceled "Happy Endings" which is real sad to me.
Then watch:
The Mindy Project
The New Girl
Modern Family (forever and ever!)
Community
Scandal (Lindsay's)
House of Cards (very...let's say grown up)
and probably Nashville and Grimm (but don't think it's Buffy, cause it ain't.)
Have fun!
*Excepting collusions with cereal.
