Thank God!

The strike is over! I didn't realize how much I'd missed my favorite shows until Thursday night when I sat down to watch NBC's Must-See-TV lineup of My Name is Earl, 30 Rock, The Office, and Scrubs. Now, granted, Earl has really begun to wear out its welcome. I am so sick of Earl in a coma (even if it does make me start humming The Smiths every time I think about it). But the rest of the night was perfect.

30 Rock is quickly becoming one of my absolute favorite shows. MILF Island was classic, and I can't wait for the Deborah Show. The Office was as painfully funny for me as it was painfully uncomfortable for Pam and Jim (and I guess Angela and Andy) . Scrubs is one of those shows that I never THINK about loving but I do.

Now, if we can just make it to the 24th when Ugly Betty shows her face again -- I am set!!

Jumping Runways

So the news started spreading yesterday that Project Runway is making the move from Bravo to Lifetime. Oh, dear. I love Project Runway, I love the celebration of creativity, the judgement-free embracing of alternative lifestyles, and the fun that the show represents. Will I watch it on Lifetime? As long as Tim Gunn is still there, sure. The sad this is realizing that I never would have started watching Runway, though, had it started on Lifetime. I've just never hopped on that Lifetime wagon . . . yet. Yes, I tune in every night at 10:00 for Will & Grace re-runs, but that's about the extent of it. The Lifetime movies just aren't my cup of tea (except that one I somehow got sucked into while cleaning one day -- where Zac Efron played an autistic twin!) and their stabs at reality have always seemed like lame rip-offs of other shows. But . . . now . . . what choice do I have to get my weakly fix of Tim and Heidi. (The rumor is that Michael and Nina aren't making the jump -- BOO! It's no fun without Michael!)

Yeah, yeah, I know

It's been a while. It's been over a year. So sue me! I'm back, so stay tuned!
