I’ve been pondering what to write for tomorrow’s Thursday Thirteen. I had finally settled on “Thirteen Television Shows Worth Setting Your DVR For”. However, when I started making the mental list, I realized that I only actually set my DVR for 9.
So, of course, I had to wonder why it is that the t.v. is on all of the time in my house if there is only 9 hours of t.v. worth watching a week and not all of those shows are on every week. For example, Monk has several short seasons a year and Heroes hasn’t been on in weeks and I’m not interested in its reruns anyway. If all I watch are new episodes of Supernatural, The Closer, Eureka, Burn Notice, and Psych, what am I doing with all my friggin’ brain draining time?
Oh, well, that is only seven, right?
Well…CSI (the Las Vegas one) and Law & Order (the original and maybe Criminal Intent) are on all the friggin’ time between Spike, TnT, Bravo, and USA. I can just put that on and it all just melts together. I really don’t need to set the DVR for it anymore.
It occurs to me that I’ve got the television on too much. I like having it on making noise in my otherwise too quiet house. However, it’s distracting. You can’t really read with the television on all of the time. You can’t really think that way either. I don’t think much gets done.
I think I’m going to have to rethink this. Maybe I’ll consider reprogramming myself so I only watch what’s on the DVR.
