So, I've been out of the primetime TV loop for a while. I can blame it on being in school - or I can blame it on being lame - it's probably some combination of both. And truth be told, I wanted in on some of the conversations you hear when people make jokes - or when they talk about theories of what's going to happen next on (insert a show here).
So lately I've been checking out a few shows. I don't have DVR or anything fancy, so I've either watched them on TV or rented them on DVD. Here's the downlow:
Scrubs - This one apparently just got syndicated because it's on twice a day on a couple different stations. So, I haven't been able to watch it in order. However, it's pretty funny - I like the inner monologue stuff. And it tends to mix in some poignant moments, which I didn't expect.
The Office - I'd seen an episode here or there and decided to rent the first season (which is only 6 episodes long). I'm not familiar with the British version. I've laughed a lot (and Kara laughed really really hard once last night) - and I'm looking forward to watching more.
Lost - Now this one I wasn't real sure about. First, I tend toward comedy/light stuff for entertainment. I like an occasional drama/thriller here and there - but I also like closure (Rachel Green voice: C-lo-sure). And I also know from observing people that there's a lot of uncertainty even now in its 3rd season. Sometimes I get squeamish/freaked out by scary/intense shows or movies. And finally, people who get into this show seem to be REALLY into the show. In a little bit of a scary way. Regardless, I decided to rent the first disk of Season 1 last night. I watched the first 2 episodes this morning. I already feel a little sucked in. We'll see how that goes.
I've also thought about Gilmore Girls and 24 - but haven't made it there yet.
However, there is one show on TV I haven't missed an episode of yet this season - Project Runway. It's become a staple of Wednesday nights (post-D'Arcy's with the girls). I'm both excited and a little sad that next week is the finale. I have been a Michael fan most of the season, but something tells me one of the girls is going to win. And I love Tim Gunn.
Carry on.
Somewhere - beyond these reasons and feelings - Somewhere - beyond the passion and fatigue - I know You're there - and that Your Spirit is leading me Somewhere...beyond all this
Somewhere while the time is still now - while we're hanging empty, empty and upside down... But I'm hanging on with all that is in me and I'll sing my songs and I'll laugh until I fly.

Lost, huh? Interesting :) Gotta love TV on DVD :)
And despite the really hard laugh, I doubt the Office would become a favorite... The boss makes me want to jump off a bridge... or push him off one... :)
Okay...so if you need to catch up on Gilmore Girls I can provide you with all seasons on DVD. Let me make it very clear however that it is entirely a show that my wife watches. It is far to "girly" for any guy to watch....
