I Love TV!

I've denied it for far too long. I know it's bad for me. It'll rot my brain. It'll make me dumber. It'll even cause my sight to deteriorate. But I am hooked. I am hopelessly locked in to it's technicolor blaze.

My favorite right now is West Wing. I have followed it for many seasons, and although it may not be the latest and greatest, I still look forward to it every week.

With Dee in my life there is never an end to Law & Order episodes. She has firmly brought me into the world of television police work, and it is invigorating.

I just watched my first two episodes of Lost. Even without seeing any of season #1, you can count me in.

I read an article in the New York Times Magazine about how television has actually become more intelligent, about how it can actually help us to be smarter. Maybe that is overstating the article or premise, but I think there is some validity to the idea that television doesn't have to be mind dumbing. With multiple story-lines, character development, and the solving of mysteries, perhaps not all television works to kill brain cells... maybe it can actually keep some active.

Well, even if it doesn't, it's a nice story to justify all those hours in front of the set.
