TV Week - Day Five

I got next to nothing done today. I sat around. I tidied up. I took a long nap.

Maybe the anti-TV people are right. Maybe all this TV is starting to get to me. Starting to sap my strength. Somehow I must go on with this grand experiment. This isn't about me anymore. It's about science.

I roused myself in the late afternoon and watched Pardon the Interruption. It's a sports talk show, but that doesn't matter. Kornheiser and Wilbon could be talking about pizza or pinochle, I'd still get a kick out of it. Most of the time they are gassing on about sports I don't even watch, but I'm still caught up in the conversation. Those guys are great.

A couple of hours later I watched yet more TV. The Colbert Report was on and I caught the first 15 minutes. He opened the show by saying "Happy National TV Turn-Off Week you hypocrites!" It was as if he was talking to me.

Prime time had come and . . . oh television executives, how can you do this to me? Here I am singing your praises and you give me nothing but crud. Good thing I have a DVD player. Last night was Spiderman 2. Tonight it's The Incredibles.

I've really been looking forward to seeing this movie. Would it live up to my expectations?

It did. It even surpassed them. I'll blather on about it in a future post. For now I'll say that I had a terrific evening and was highly entertained. Thank you TV. My faith is restored.
