I really hope Heroes is good.

I really hope Heroes is good.

I saw the premiere.  It's very slow to start up, but interesting.

Unfortunately, slow to start means cancelled.

[DownSouth]

I want to see Heroes and Jericho.

holy shit.  I think your eyes are going to fall out.

[Listener]

holy shit.  I think your eyes are going to fall out.

Heh.  This is actually a light year.  One year we were up to almost 40 hours of prime-time TV a week.  (Although that included 5 hours of pro wrestling, which didn't REALLY count.)

[Alice]

You forgot One Tree Hill.

[Listener]

You forgot One Tree Hill.

Let's not start that again.

Heh.  This is actually a light year.  One year we were up to almost 40 hours of prime-time TV a week.  (Although that included 5 hours of pro wrestling, which didn't REALLY count.)

Why?  Why spend that time?

[Jessie]

Holy crap.  I can't seem to set my schedule to watching ONE show religiously.  I applaud your commitment.

[Listener]

I enjoy the shows.  They let me turn my brain off the serious and let me concentrate on the unserious.  Or, at least, stuff that I won't have to think about once it's over.

[BigDun]

When does the Fall Preview TV Guide come out?

[ReBurn]

Thank goodness for DVR.

Thanks for the linky, Beef.

I can understand that.  Plus if you work 40 hours, and watch TV 40 hours, and sleep 56 hours (theoretically), that's 136 hours out of 168 in a week that you don't have to think about unserious stuff.

Heh.  If you take out the commercials, it's really only 28 hours.

[dazie]

Actually- I said it wrong.  I should have said "136 out of 168 that you don't have to think about SERIOUS stuff."  oops.
