Fall is in the Air

I have a habit of writing posts and not posting them. I wrote the post below on Thursday night.

I have not been posting as often as I would like to, but I'm trying to have at least one post a week. I have to be on a flight to Charlotte NC at 6 am tomorrow, and as I have slept through the alarm three out of four mornings this week I decided to stay up all night, so I have a couple more hour to pass. It is now almost 3 am, which is usually when I start drifting into sleep . I have been meaning to blog about the fall TV schedule for a while so here goes, hopefully this will keep me awake.
Its time for a new TV season. I have set a goal of limiting my self to 21 hours of TV a week, which for is going to be difficult for me. I am some what obsessed with TV, I have 2 TV sets each has a TIVO and my PC also has a TV receiver and DVR. I would estimate that currently I watch over 30 hour of TV a week. I have managed to cut down the essential shows to 16 in prime time plus 4 hours for the Daily Show and Colbert Report, which leaves me another hour. I have marked the essential shows in yellow and blue.


Most shows don't start until the end of the month, but a few have and some premiered on the web.

House - I l have loved Hugh Laurie for years (back from his days on Jeeves & Wooster and Blackadder), but so far the new season is disappointing. I didn't like the story line of trying to teach House a lesson. Hopefully it will get better.

Bones - Hate the new boss, hate that they get DC so wrong.

Studio 60 - Saw the premier on the web (I would post the link, but I can't find it again). It was a little disappointing. It was not as fast pace as I expected form Arron Sorkin, but Matthew Perry and Bradley Witford have good chemistry so I hope it will get better.

That was all I got to when the phone rang at 3:40 am. It was my co-worker telling me the fight was canceled, and that we are on the 7 am fight. At about 4:30 am I fell asleep. I woke up at 6:10 am and ran out the door. Luckily I live 10 minutes form the airport and made it in time to the fight.
