1. It's January. Hello. Mama's dates start this month. Mommy's very important date. I ♥ Mondays. Mmmmmmmm, mmmmmmmmm, mmmmmmm. I need 24 to start on time.
It's imperative my date be guilt free. Please pay the writers. Thank them on my behalf every day. For bringing me Keifer in an amazing well-woven package. I already thank god for this package. 
Thank you Gods. All of you. I am grateful for your gifts. Please don't delay my date.2. Pushing Daisies. If not for the writer's strike I may not have watched the whole season on line. I hope the writers get some kind of compensation for that. It's a sweet and charming, macabre and dark, very diana, very Tim Burton, twisted hour of comedy. And it's narrated by Jim Dale. Delicious. Delicious Baked Goods, too. I want MORE!
3. Chuck. I watched him on line, because of the strike, too. Please pay someone accordingly. I was afraid this guy would be Steve Carrel painful. Thank heavens he is not!! He is sweet and charming and *smart* and foolish. And worth seeing more of! Bring back Chuck!
4. Desperate for Desperate Housewives!! I am glad to see a new episode slated for my Sunday Night enjoyment. Daggummit! I coulda dug out the bodies from the tornado mess my own self, by now!! I just gotta know my girls are okay. Leaving us hanging like this is not nice. Writers still deserve to get paid.
5. Ugly Betty. Charlie's spawn is only growing my the moment here folks! We're on a serious Nature imposed time crunch. This whole thing has gotta resolve before the early spring birth. Now what? The writers have a lot of work to catch up on. I can't wait. Really. Stop making me.
6. Aaaaaaahhhhh, I got a 2 hour, yes, 2 hour Law & Order fix last night and today. New cop (Remember Brenda's Psycho Brother from Six Feet Under?), New ADA and :::trumpets::: Jack McCoy as DA. New episodes of the spin offs are on my way, too. ::::gratitude:::: On another show, the big gap in episodes may have made the transition easier; I'm hardcore I'm used to the revolving door of characters on this series. The Gemini in me is rarely bored in this genre. Thank you writers!
7. I've fallen in love with Graham Norton. He's on the DVR now, high priority even. Marilyn Manson on BBC is incomparable. OMG. Never a dull moment. Never dry panties. Thanks to his writers for not striking and continuing to provide me entertainment. I hope you're paid well.
8. I'm ready to become the next Dog Whisperer. Reruns + too many channels = bizarre results. Cesar both repels and attracts me. Which, of course, warms my Gemini heart. I'm gonna keep watching for the next year, until I'm sure I'm ready to be a calm, assertive pack leader for the dog we're willing to welcome then. I don't want Cesar to have to come train me to do anything. I think I got it already.
9. I'd like my favorite Reality Shows to be a delicious part of my overall television diet, not the sustenance. It's been like living on popcorn. That said, I am loving the new season of Project Runway. Though I have a love/hate relationship with 10. Real Housewives of Orange County. I wouldn't mind if I had better competition for my attention. And yet, I am compelled and repulsed. (there's that theme again) This show especially gives me even greater respect for the writers of the shows I actually love to watch. They deserve a raise. All of them. 11. American Idol is coming. Shhhh. Balance. That's what this girl needs. Please, dear writers, provide me with some soon.
12. Earl. I need Earl back. I miss Randy. I worry about him. Plus Earl's got karma to tend.
Karma alone doesn't get the show written. Pay the writers already and bring back the Crab Shack Gang.13.
I got a break from Michael. Okay, I think I'm ready. I've had a lovely long break from the pain of who he is. I will breathe and remember he is fictional. And I will think that maybe the writers for The Office don't need a raise, Steve does. Then again, he should be fired and put out of all our misery. And we'd miss him. I can't wait for the painful hiney tingles. I miss Michael. And Jim. He's cute. And doofy. And painless. He loves Pam. She's sweet. And Dwight (the second Six Feet Under connection of this post). What do you say about Dwight? I miss his macabre logic. I want to hear him say Eyes are the groin of the face and mean it. hee hee. The strike gave me a chance to miss the creepiest guy on network televison. Thanks??

I know! We are missing Daisies so much!! waaaaah!
Amen sister!
And I NEED Jon Stewart. I don't know what's going on in the world or who to mock without him.
Well, yeah, and my brother may have to sell his house. Dangit.
Oh, and I bet Graham Norton's writers aren't WGA, I bet they are in the British writers guild.
They should just pay him already! Send him my thanks. It won't save his house, it may warm his heart. Some of us are REALLY REALLY grateful for the writers we so sorely miss... Please pay the man. Please!
You and I have very different TV viewing appetites! LOL
I have been effected, oh to be certain-- my YEAR's wait for Battlestar Gallactica has been pushed off another two months. Bastards.
Most of the shows I watch are because someone said "YOU don't watch THIS?!?!" Then I do and I am surprised I ever lived without my TV friends :D
*24* came out of a discussion on my Liberal SD Homeschoolers list - Tuesdays were filled with adrenaline filled replays. I wanted that kind of heiney tingle in my life. And I happily discovered Mr. Sutherland has grown MUCH more attractive with age! Double heiney tingle!
I watched *Housewives* the first time with Sandra Dodd. I was so surprised she watched it. It's a lot more fun if her voice lives in your head, too, right along side the narrator. Now I'm vested. I gotta know!
*Law & Order* Really, it's the Gemini in me. It wins every award for keeping me interested by remaining interesting. No daytime soap can hold a candle.
*Earl* "It's about Karma!" my friend exclaimed, "YOU have to watch it!" Even better, it's about White Trash with Karma. Poignant, relative, and hilarious!
*The Office* ~sometimes, in an office/corporate setting, I'm the one giving folks a heiney tingle of embarrassment. It's true. I'm okay with it and luckily so are the folks who love me. And I don't much go for office work, knowing this about myself. And I've never been Michael. For anyone who's heiney I've tingled, Thank your God-of-Choice I am me and not Michael. You can laugh. It's okay.
*Daisies* is death themed. With Jim Dale. I never thought they'd be combined in such a delightful way. A sweet surprise, this show. Even if you don't become a fan, when you come across it you'll think of me. And that's a good thing. :)
*Ugly Betty* I ♥ America. She's beautiful. So beautiful Betty just can't be uglified. I watch her for the part of me who *is* her. Always a little too SD for L.A. and a little too L.A. for SD.
*Project Runway* and *American Idol* are both Hannah memories. Then I watched them with Elizabeth. Hayden's been joining me more and more with Runway, he misses them both. ♥
What do *you* watch?
You and I would have such fun. I'm such a TV whore, it would probably be easier to list what I don't watch. You've definitely touched on some of my favorites.
I really don't want to be the one to tell you about 24, though. You really haven't heard that they've delayed the entire season, possibly until next year? (As in 2009?)
This is going to be like the time I met my friend Kristy's boyfriend for the first time, and knowing that he and I shared a love for the TV show Angel and wanting to bond with him over what I knew would be our shared grief, I nearly tripped over myself to say, "Can you believe they canceled it?" and he got this look of horrified shock on his face and I knew that for the rest of our lives I would always be the girl who told him Angel was canceled and broke his heart.
Luckily I came across that information as I surfed for Kiefer's release date :) 24 is adamant the show follow a specific flow of information; if it doesn't happen *on time* it can't happen the *pure* way they want it delivered. So they delay it, possibly a whole year. And I cave and purchase season 6 & long for season 7. I'll be sad. And all the more excited when it does happen :)
I've been literally unmarred from this whole strike! I've been staying with my parents in NM. They live just rurally enough that they don't get cable, just poor enough to not have satellite, and just happen to live in an adobe house with thick walls so that even if they wanted to have rabbit ears, nothing would come through anyway.
I thought I'd miss tv, but really the only show I miss is Dr House, and they've been playing reruns anyway, so I've heard. I can watch them on my computer too if I really wanted to.
I guess it's a good time to be without tv, since nothins on!
