Joy, at Joy of Six<\/a>, was talking about getting relief from her TV addiction with the finales of the past season playing out. I have to admit that over the past 18 months or so, we have watched a LOT more network TV. It all started when I happened to come across Grey’s Anatomy<\/em> when Grey had her hand inside the chest of a man, next to a live piece of ammunition. I was hooked, and we made sure that we were available on Sunday nights to see what happened over the next few months.
\nOur son introduced us to Boston Legal<\/em> and it’s odd stories. We generally watch Monk<\/em>, and I tripped over House, M.D.<\/em> on the same channel. Then, our son, (see a pattern forming here??) encouraged us to watch Heroes<\/em>. My sister likes the criminal investigation shows, and somehow I started watching CSI <\/em>and CSI New York<\/em>. I must be the only person who doesn’t like CSI Miami.<\/em>
\nI’ve come to determine what day it is by what program is the feature of the evening. When there’s a change in programs, Dear Husband takes over the remote and checks out the guide. He’s likely to settle on one of the Turner Classic movies, or science\/history shows.
\nWe really need a break. We have become addicted and lazy, and need to be doing more physical things. I wonder if I could schedule one hour a night in the basement through the summer and get the job done?? *G*
\nJoy lists four different ways she keeps up with shows that she’s missed. I have two others that work for me. Many of the networks are now making episodes available for you to watch at your computer. I’ve seen back episodes of Brothers and Sisters<\/em>, and other programs.
\nThe other way to see shows that you’ve missed is to buy the DVD of the season. Usually season one will be available once season two starts. I have Grey’s Anatomy<\/em> Season 1 & 2, Boston Legal <\/em>Season 1 & 2, Dead Zone <\/em>Season 1, House M.D.<\/em> Season 1 & 2, and 24<\/em>, Season 1.
\nI’ve only seen ONE episode of 24<\/em>, and I’m looking forward to watching the first season. When the summer heat is upon us, I will water my gardens early in the day, and then retire to the cool of my living room and quilt while I watch these shows. If I’m piecing a new quilt, I’ll pop a movie, or one of the reruns into the player while I sew.
\nI watch for sales and order from Amazon when I feel the price is right. I ordered one of the seasons and discovered that the price had dropped significantly on the day it was mailed. I called to talk to them, and they gave me the discount. You can’t ask for better service than that.
\nMy name is Buffy, and I’m addicted. I’m going to try to keep this addiction corralled to certain times through the summer, and I promise to get up and do something physical after every show!
\nJoy, call me if you need an update on any of the shows. (What happened on the Boston Legal finale????)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
