Whoever says TV is better than going to the movies is RIGHT!
Let me tell you....
For the past 10-15 years I hardly ever
watched television.
This year, my Tivo is jockying positions
to record 24, The Shield, Lost, American
Idol and Invasion
In the last week, with the debut of 24
and The Shield, I have been watching
some of the best television EVER!
These shows are far mor eentertaining than
movies, and sitting home watching them
certainly beats all the negative things
associated with going to the theater.
My favorite show? Hands down it's this
newest season of 24 that already by
its fourth episode, seems to be the best
season thus far. Following right on its
tail is Lost, which still seems to
be keeping us guessing in mid-season 2.
I am very impressed as to how GOOD television
is these days -- especially important to the
studios banking on viewers purchasing the
DVD sets at the end of each season.
....oh, did I mention The Sopranos
starts in almost 7 weeks?!

I'm with you, Ron...
My current-broadcast hotlist: 24, Monk, and the Stargates.
Also, The Closer, but it's currently between seasons.

my wife and I can hardly squeeze a movie in nowadays, our current hotlist: 24, Lost, Invasion, Criminal Minds, CSI (the original), Desperate Housewives, House, Medium, Sopranos (can't wait!). I would really like to work "The Shield" in but need to get up to speed, have not watched it at all. There are some great shows that fall through the cracks. So much tv, so little time!

And I'm waiting for the return of The Dead Zone, and The 4400 (I assume it's coming back). And I've just gotten "hooked" on Boston Legal. What a great cast and what a funny show.
And Let's not forget Alias (ending), Weeds (hilarious), etc. etc. etc. With the ability to record 4 HD programs and 1 SD program on my DVRs, 24 hours a day is not enough time to watch "24" and company!
Remember, for every The Gottis there is a Sopranos to take away the bad taste (no pun intended).

Glad you are enjoying TV Ron. Too bad I don't think likewise. Beyond "My Name Is Earl", "Lost", and BSG, there isn't too much I feel is "must see", and Lost is starting to wear a bit on me.

It's been a good week or two of TV for me as well. 24, The Shield, Lost, and CSI (although I'm not the rabid fan I am of the other shows).
And as Ron pointed out, The Sopranos is back soon!  |

As bad as movie theaters have gotten, at least they don't put logos on the screen during the movies!
