Twisted Sideways

Many of you know how much I enjoy television.  So much so that the recent writers strike left me with quite a few gaps in my usually calm evenings spent in front of the tube.  Granted, it was a much needed and appreciated break, but I am glad the strike is finally over.  TV Guide has recently published, and continues to update, what they know about the upcoming schedule of shows and their expected arrival date and remaining episodes.  It’s a site that I have been to quite a few times to see what else they know or any changes that might have taken place in the recent weeks. I have been surprised at the number of recently new shows that are TBD.  Espically a lot of these new pilots that were just recently launched before the strike.  Seem like Television is going to have the change the way they do sweeps weeks and the way that they launch and promote their best shows in an effort to garner the best advertisers.

I am pleased thought that a few shows are rolling are.  LOST has been rolling for the past few weeks and I have to admit, that it’s something I have truly enjoyed on Thursday nights.  Actually, it’s something that I don’t miss.  Even if it’s set to record, no matter what I time I make it home, I make time to watch it. I kinda have to though too, since I am sheepishly apart of an e-mail group (mostly made up of friends) who weekly comment on the episode, heavily on Friday’s, about theories, thoughts, reflections, and the direction of the show.

I’m keeping on eve on TV guide, cause something inside of my just keeps hoping that 24 will actually come on before January 2009.
