ANTM & DYAO & NCIS & TV
I finally have TV again, and I am just in awe of what is on now days. I never realized commercials could be 5 minutes long. I don't know when this happened...And game shows are still being called "reality TV." I am not a fan, honestly, of "reality" shows. I do not watch Survivor, Big Brother or any of the others. No interest in them. But....I have a confession...
I am in love with America's Next Top Model. NO, REALLY! Not obsession, but love. I love the fact that I can record them, and so I am almost "caught up" now, seeing the ones that have previously aired. Perhaps it is a vicarious thing--I am too old, round, and short to have any thoughts about something like that myself.
Ironically, the other show that I like lately with any sort of reality glimmer...is Dance Your Ass Off (not that round though). You can tell some of them want this really, really bad. It is a great idea.
Non-reality, I "found" NCIS. This cast is GREAT! They are such an ensemble. Working in a "similar" occupation, I can see a lot of correlation between the interactions of the characters and the people I work with. The other day, I even caught myself saying, "if this was NCIS, that would have earned a head smack."
The best part about the new TV service ... DVR
DVR rocks! Gotta go to the bathroom, PAUSE. Someone calls on the phone, PAUSE. Gotta go to work, RECORD. Thank you to the person that came up with this one! You're a rock star!!!
K, now I suppose I should attempt to work. Maybe not. They get away with it on TV...
