Sweeps

I don't watch much TV. The TV I do watch is kinda just the generic, network TV stuff. Don't watch ANYTHING on a premium channel or any of the "basic cable" stations. Here is what I do watch or record on my DVR:

1 - Desperate Housewives. Now really, I haven't cared about this show since that groundbreaking first season. It's just a kind of Sunday ritual that winds down the weekend and ushers in the work week. Kind of like how 60 Minutes is for others. Lately, I'm not that deep.

2 - Boston Legal. I don't watch a damn thing on Mondays. Tuesday nights are left for Denny Crane and Alan Shore. I like the banter and give me an Alan Shore closing any day.

3 - America's Next Top Model. I love this show and I'm really not ashamed to admit it. I love to see the photographic transformations and the way it's all done behind the scenes. I could care less about the 20-something drama queen storylines, gossip and catfighing. I just like to see their "best shots" and hear the critiques. The girls are far from cookie cutter and I like that, too.

4 - My Name is Earl. Sometimes, don't you just wanna live in Camden? Instant karma, indeed. Beers at the Crab Shack, vintage rock tees and blue jeans.

5 - The Office. Sometimes, don't you just wanna work at Dunder Mifflin? True story - two weeks ago, there was a bird in my office at work. My office on the 4th floor of a huge entertainment complex. A BIRD. I called Engineering. I called Security. How long do you think it took someone to get off their ass and get the frickin bird out? ALL DAMN DAY. When I left, it was still there! There was no "task force" or emergency meeting in the conference room! No Dwight with a plastic bag!

6 - Grey's Anatomy. Yeah, Thursday's are when I do most of my TV viewing. I love this show and if you watch it you know why. I can't get into all of that here, now. My most favorite moments though are those that belong to Burke and Cristina. I love the dynamics of this seemingly awkward relationship and I think I had better enjoy the moments while I can cause I sense the break-up. It is sweeps after all.
