I love TV. When other little kids wanted to be doctors or policemen when they grew up I wanted to be a professional TV watcher. My dad reminds me of this quite often and each time he reminds me, he makes sure to point out that Professional TV Watcher is not a real thing. I think I fully realized my obsession/love for television about 6 years ago. The new fall season was starting and I was having trouble keeping track of my growing list of shows. I decided to make a detailed TV watching spreadsheet which displayed start date, time, channel and run time for each show. The first year I did this my spreadsheet had 25 shows, since that time it has gone up and down with an all time high of 34 shows per week. TiVo/DVR has been a real life saver for me. (My husband would not agree with this statement) Being able to fast forward through commercials has allowed me to watch more shows in a shorter amount of time and not really have to choose between 2 shows that air at the same time. I will admit that there have been seasons in the past where I have had 3 shows airing at the same time and have been forced (my husband would not agree with the word "forced" here) to record 2 while I watch a 3rd show live on a different TV. Do I realize how insane this sounds? Yes. Am I embarrassed? Yes, well at least sometimes. Do I hate it when people ask themselves questions and then answer them? Definitely.
I frequently find myself in conversations with people about TV. Whenever someone asks, "hey do you watch (insert TV show name here)?" My answer is usually yes. I thought this would be a good platform to have some of those conversations over the world wide web rather than in person...since I have no time to talk to people because I am busy watching TV. Thanks for visiting. Please leave me comments with your opinions and thoughts on the shows I discuss. Perhaps if I get enough followers someone will actually hire me to be a professional TV watcher. Just kidding.
I will read this blog, although I won't be able to follow you on probably 32 of 34 of your shows. I'll laugh though just b/c it's you! And I'll forever laugh about P.B.
ReplyDeleteLet's see the summer spreadsheet!

Okay, I admit it. I have had the same problem with needing to go to a 2nd tv to watch a 3rd show. My poor husband has to resort to reading so that I can record my 2 shows. I am excited about the summer because some of my favorite shows are in the summer.
