A good story gets me every time
Because of this, my siblings and I were always easy to take on a trip. We were never bored, as long a there was a TV to watch. And we weren't particular about what we watched either. I remember one Montreal hotel room, when we went to see the World Fair in 1968. We watched French shows on TV. We had no idea what was going on, but we were fascinated with the TV, nevertheless.
In the olden days (10 years ago?), you couldn't ever miss your favorite show's airing date because that was it, sayonara, it was history. The advent of DVDs helped with this but so has the internet as you can watch your shows whenever you want. Or rent them on Netflix. For those few must haves...buy them for continued viewing.
You won't find "Lost" here or "ER." They're perfectly good series, just not my cup of tea. There's a place where you can add YOUR favorites, though.
By the way...in our family that all powerful and controlling equipment normally called the Remote is called the Zapper.

Really, I watch it for it's well-written story!
What's Going To Happen In This Season?
Meredith and Derek seem settled down and happy. But Izzy has run away from home and that new doctor who's name I can't remember seems to be in love with two women. Meanwhile the Chief has turned into a bad alcoholic with Meredith covering for him. What's your best guess at how it's going to turn out?

Instead of internal problems keeping them apart, it looks like it will be external challenges.

Speak Your Passion Here
This may be like trying to answer the chicken or the egg question (or the chicken crossing the road question), but is TV a BAD medium? Can anything good come from it? Is there anything to watch on those 600 channels of digital TV?
Is too much TV bad for you?

- I rarely watch TV anymore (mostly news and ... um ... American Idol), but I've seen a few of these shows. The Office and Law & Order I really like, and, yeah, I'm familiar with Dr. McDreamy. :) These days, though, I spend most of my time either outdoors or online, so the TV--the one small one we have--is usually off.

- The Closer and Law and Order are the only two favorites that we have in common. I will have to check out some of the others you wrote about. Great work on this lens. I enjoyed my visit here. Thank you.

- The only TV show out of all these that I've seen is Smallville, and I loved it, although I work evenings, so I haven't seen it in a long time. Maybe I should check it out again...

- Hi gia! Thanks so much for educating me about current TV series. Since I don't have a TV connection, almost all these shows are new to me. I DO watch Netflix movies so I can rent them there.
