TV Gripes

I really don't get how networks stay alive with reruns of the same shows 3 nights a week. Meanwhile they take off shows that were interesting. So now..I don't watch their networks on those nights at all. In fact my Tivo isn't recording anything there either.

• Justice was one of the shows recently taken off FOX. Why...so they can show reruns of House, which I don't watch, so now FOX doesn't get my viewing on that night at all.


• Happy Hour, another FOX show that was cancelled or pulled or whatever they are calling it. At first they were trying to get people to watch Til Death but we nixed that in this household quickly. I think one week they showed it 3 times...come on..It sucked the first time don't torture us.


• Smith - This was a great show on CBS that unfortunately cost a LOT to produce. Too bad, it was intriguing and Jerry and I were looking forward to seeing where it was headed.

Jerry just told me that Friday Night Lights is struggling. This is a wonderful show about a small town who is obsessed about the high school football team. It's not anything like my hometown high school but I can still relate to "small town" politics and how they can influence things.

Ok, maybe I watch too much tv. And it's my brain to turn into spaghetti. Although I think the shows I watch aren't really spaghetti turning tv fodder. I'm pretty sure I watch "smart" tv. Studio 60 is witty, The Unit is good, Shark is now the only lawyer show because they pulled Justice, Battlestar Galactica well, you just can't go wrong with anything SciFi and of course I have my humor to round out my week, The Class, The Office and My Name is Earl. ( I think the grammar is very wrong in the previous sentence but I'll just blame the lack of good educational shows on that.(School House Rock why have you abandoned us))
