Updates

Sometimes my mind writes checks that my fingers can't cash (That came out sounding creepy). What I mean is, I had this grand plan to watch all this TV and type my fully formed and well-versed opinions on individual shows. Well, it turns out that some of these shows are hard to keep up with. In fact, if you miss more than one episode of an hour-long HBO drama i.e. Boardwalk Empire, you're pretty much screwed in the catch up game. I'm sure I will use the down time of the Christmas holiday to get up to speed on all of these missed opportunities. (Although, to be fair, I have stayed pretty faithful to the NBC comedies.) In the mean time, I am going to take on a somewhat more manageable task.

I'm going to pick a show each week that I don't really know anything about besides the premises outlined from whatever commercials I've seen. I'm thinking something along the lines of a crappy looking network comedy or drama whose ratings are fueled by old people accidentally leaving the TV on after they fall asleep. For instance, who is watching Mike and Molly? I think a lot of people are actually. That will definitely be one that I watch soon just to see what is going on. Interestingly, when I suggested sampling that show first to a friend, he said that Mike and Molly is a buzzword and I would seem like I was following the crowd. I don't even know what that means. First, how is Mike and Molly a buzzword? Was there something about it on Wikileaks that I didn't catch? And second, the day I get caught following the "Mike and Molly crowd" is the day I start dropping the g's from -ing words and investing in personal gravy flasks. 

Fat jokes aside, something is medically wrong with his stomach.

In other news, I have been shoveling my way through the first season of Modern Family and am going to try and catch up to the current episodes by next week so look for my overall take on the show coming soon. This is the show that everybody claims "You have to watch! What?! You aren't watching Modern Family?? What are you? North Korean?" So, I'm watching it and I've already got some thoughts brewing besides ones that have to do with Sofia Vergara. 

Anyway, if anybody (my three followers) has any suggestions for shows I should try out, I'm all ears. Or eyes. Depending on the method of communication.
