I have often told you that I love television. It's a fact. I do. And I love you, my dear readers.
So, as you may know, last week I was away, I was out of town, I was … without television. Yes, sad, but true nonetheless.
Now, despite the fact that for various and sundry reasons the amount of television I watch has been cut, I was way, way behind when I returned from my trip. Well, yesterday I made up for it. In an effort to be up to date, in an effort to be more informed, in an effort to be better able to address you, the reader, I watched a ton of television yesterday, and I don't use that term lightly.
What, you so eloquently ask, did I watch? Well, I'll tell you. I watched: Boston Legal, Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, The Simpsons, My Name is Earl, 30 Rock, The Office, and two episodes each of: The Sarah Jane Adventures, Law & Order, and Last Restaurant Standing. It was a solid afternoon (and some of the evening) of television viewing. Frankly, it was practically an ideal day.
Okay, I can admit that The Sarah Jane Adventures isn't quite as much fun as I'd like, that Last Restaurant Standing ventured a little into Kitchen Nightmares territory this week, and that I think Doctor Who is a tad too jokey this season, but it was still a good day.
The preceding observations are the exact sort of things I complain about if I watch just a little television over the course of a day. But, when I watch more than "just a little" TV, like I did yesterday, something grander appears. When I sit down and watch a good 10 or 11 hours of television over the course of a day (before you take out time for commercials), I see things in a whole new light.
