Passionate Tales of a Blue Kitten

I love TV. I know, I know. That's an obvious statement coming from me, but it's something I've been wanting to say. It seems like I've read so many negative comments about TV shows lately (not here) and they irritate me. Sure, things happen on TV I don't like and sometimes I say so, but, for the most part, when I talk about TV, I want to talk about things like how cute Jim or Pam are or what the heck is going on with Lost? Sometimes it seems like I'm the only one who feels that way. It's one of the reasons I've never been able to get super-into fandom. Eventually, things seem to descend into a bitching session, and that's just not why I watch TV. I watch TV because I enjoy it. I love getting wrapped up in a story and invested in characters' lives. And (despite what some people think) I really do know it's "just a TV show." My life isn't ruined when my favorite character dies or my favorite couple breaks up.

I certainly don't suggest living your entire life this way, but when it comes to TV, can't we live by the "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" rule?

Which I guess means that if I don't talk about one of my shows this week, I didn't enjoy it as much as usual. Or else that i just forgot about it, which probably amounts to about the same thing.

( Scrubs )

( The Office )

( Lost )

I haven't watched Grey's Anatomy yet. I went to bed after Lost, but then couldn't sleep. Hey, at least my intentions were good.

I had a friend over tonight, which meant I didn't watch the American Idol results until 10. No big deal, right? I was pretty sure Syesha was the one going.

Ugh. And my real life American Idol friend didn't watch yet. Did you all watch? Are you all asleep now? Will someone please talk to me about this?

Other events: I was blissfully happy about 30 Rock, The Office and Scrubs, all of which had great episodes.

A seminar discussion this morning about the internet and privacy prompted me to set my MySpace to private (something I should've done a long time ago) and I just got an e-mail from my mom asking me why I made it private. Freaky.

Grey's Anatomy's the one with the whole hype, but Scrubs is the medical show that got to me tonight. I think I need to take a short break from tv before I move on to my tape of the The O.C.
