TV Guide

I've been slackin', but I haven't had much to write about. Lately, I'm just exploring network television. I've picked out a couple of shows that I plan to make part of my regular viewing. I am still a fan of Medium and now that I only work 2 hours per night 3 nights a week at the office, I get home in time on Mondays to watch it. The show isn't as strong as it was in Seasons 1 & 3 (the best to me so far), but it is still engaging. Plus I can admit to having a crush on Patricia Arquette since she was in Nightmare on Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors. She's quirky (she married Nicholas Cage), but also awesome.

Tuesday are a night off, so I've been watching Reaper. It's okay, but isn't one of my favorites. Next, I flip to CBS for The Mentalist which I follow with Without a Trace. (Aside: CBS really has a thing for actors from Down Under. Simon Baker is The Mentalist, Poppy Montgomery and Anthony Lapaglia are both on Without a Trace, and Anthony's brother Jonathan is now a semi-regular on Cold Case.)

I work Wednesday and will usually half-watch Law & Order when I gt home, but I'm not a huge fan of the show anymore. I don't like the new executive ADA nor do I care for Kevin Anderson's character. I think he took a bit too much from his time on The Shield.

Thursdays are also a work night, but I have had quite a few off of late so I got to watch Supernatural. Another not great show, but both Jensen Ackles (who was in MBV 3-D and Jared Padelecki (the feathery-haired brother in the new F13) are hot. Sometimes I'll watch Eleventh Hour, but I'm not invested in it or anything.

Fridays just suck so I try to sneak in a movie or something on Hulu (watch a couple episodes of the old Perry Mason last week) that night if I'm not out with the Chicks.

Saturdays are a crapshoot, but I try not to even go out before watching 48 Hours (aka 48 Hours Mysteries). I remember when that show was all about Dan Rather screaming about the perils of crack and how the world would be full of crackbabies in a decade. I will also try to sneak in a movie on this night as well.

I was all happy to have football season over and done with pre-empting my Sunday shows and then March Madness came along. Boo. The Amazing Race is the only reality show I will watch now (and I am happy to report this season does not include ANY hateful teams...I mean, NONE...I can't decide who to root for), then I follow that up with Cold Case and I've even watch The Unit the last couple of weeks (it's actually not bad).

Oh, look my lunch 1/2 hour is over. Gotta go.
