For people of my generation, there was never a day without TV. My dad remembers getting a TV when he was young. I remember having a black and white TV in my room, but I've never been without one.
Usually I can find something on that's decent to watch. However, since the writer's strike seemed to want to linger, I've been a little more hard pressed to find the shows I like. OK, just one show. Some of my favorite things to watch don't really have writers that write scripts. I love What Not to Wear and lots of old shows. But just before Christmas, Dave and I caught a rerun of The Office. We ended up buying all 3 past seasons on DVD. Both of us have watched them at least twice--I've watched them much more. I've watched all the on-line episodes from the website. So it took no time at all to watch them all. But the thing is, there's no new episodes because of the writer's strike. They want more money for new media, like on-line episodes and DVDs. That's fair and I think they did the right thing.
However, it's OVER. I know they are glad to be getting back to work, but I'm also happy. Maybe in a few weeks there will be new episodes of The Office. I'm so excited!
There's too much Deal or No Deal and junk like that. I even saw an ad for a show called Your Mamma Don't Dance where people who are professional dancers audition for a dance show. After that they bring out their mammas who will be their dance partners. That whole concept is just bizarre.
Reality is just not all it's cracked up to be. Give me made up fantasy, scripted TV anyday!
