I have to come clean. Kevin has recently pointed out to me the amount of time I spend in front of the TV. I respond that this is my way of unwinding after a full days work etc etc. Yet I have to agree. I do spend a lot of time in front of the TV. Even with TIVO, I haven’t been able to reduce my consumption.
Now I’ve discovered this site literally dedicated to TV Addicts. Television Without Pity. Now instead of just watching the TV now you can comment on it, disect plot lines, speculate about future plot lines, and the best of all go onto the spoiler thread to find out what happens.
I have a number of programs that I watch religously. I am a bit of a reality TV freak. I like Big Brother, I do like watching The Apprentice (which now in its 3rd season has become really lame), Amazing Race and even American Idol. Battlestar Galactica has been the best science fiction remake of the old BG which I remember watching in SA when I was growing up. (I had a crush on Apollo – but then who didn’t?) The first season has ended and now we have are the reruns, and we have to wait until July (I think) for season 2.
Other shows included in my list of ‘must watch at all costs’ are The View, The Oprah Show (I know – there are no words!), Desperate Housewives and 24.
Television Without Pity provides great reading for most of what I watch. The American Idol forums are hilarious – as people give vent to the artists they most like, love or hate.

Aaah, you have got to the root of my bloging procrastination problem. I simply watch too much TV, and the law of inertia is sooooo strong that once my butt ison that sofa it is really really hard to get it upstairs to blog!!
I’m with you on reality TV – it has a strange power. But these days I only watch Big Brother & stuff like American Idol & X-Factor. There is just tooooo much reality crap on UK TV! And now every second show is “celebrity” reality TV – a bigger bunch of no-hope Z-listers you would stuggle to find. My must-watch list is pretty short these days – ER, Desperate Housewives and starting Friday…. BIG BROTHER V!!!! Woo hoo!! (I would also be watchign Oz, Six Feet Under and Green Wing if they were on…)
Dies ist ein großer Ort. Ich möchte hier noch einmal.
