Feature: TV Nights

There are a lot of shows on television, I mean, a lot of shows. Quite honestly, there are more shows than you can shake a stick at on television (you could of course shake a stick at your television and cable box, but that's not the same thing). I, somehow, manage to watch a substantial portion of the shows on TV, and in this feature regularly discuss what I've watched, what I think about it, and why. It's a conversational, informal, discussion, and as such is always better when there's more than one point of view being expressed, which is to say, feel free to comment with your opinion.
