Good Morning and welcome to a (hopefully) dry day!

I certainly don't watch as much television as in the past. Part of it has to do with the time my alarm goes off every morning (3:30 a.m.). Part of it is, with three young children, there's not much time to just sit in front of the television.
Well, at least as much time to watch prime time shows. Now, when the television is on, it's usually tuned into Cartoon Network. I know more about 'Star Wars: The Clone Wars' and 'Ben 10' than I really ever hoped to know.
I still do try to veg out once in a while, but following any kind of show is a little harder.
I do make time to watch '24' and, starting next Tuesday, 'Lost.'
Now, that's escapism (at least to me).
So, the last couple of weeks I was able to catch the beginning of the new season of '24.' Now, if anybody has watched the show through it's eight years on the air, you know the plot. Keifer Sutherland will have 'the worst day ever' then save the world. Already through the first five hours this year, Jack Bauer's been tasered, beaten while tied to a chair, crashed a car and saved two 'bad guys' so he could get the information.
Just one day, though, it would be interesting to see him eat a meal or take a nap. Then again, the world wouldn't be saved.

Good Morning and welcome back!

Maybe it's just me or has network television finally fallen off the cliff.
Take a gander at the schedule and you have a lot of choices: unfunny comedies, cop shows, reality shows, more cop shows, a hospital drama thrown in surrounded by more cop shows.
I realize even networks are feeling the financial crunch, but, come on, there's got to be something better than cop show after cop show after reality show. Sure, there are some breaks from the norm (When does 'Lost' return?), but they are too far in between. Look, having worked nights most of my life and now on the early-morning shift, I rarely watch a lot of television. I get maybe an hour a night to decompress.
Let's stop watching this junk until it improves. After all, we might have to, gasp, switch to the Discovery Channel.
Well, maybe it could be worse...
