My One-hundred-and-twenty-fourth Post

So I used to think that watching TV online was the best thing that ever happened to me. How else could I have watched the entire first season of Heroes in the space of just a few days? So I started watching my favorite TV shows whenever I wanted (instead of not watching them at all because they didn’t fit into my schedule). It was great. If I had a spare hour on campus, I had something to entertain me! I would never have to miss House again! Martin started to bug me about How I Met Your Mother, a somewhat obscure comedy on CBS that we’ve both enjoyed in the past. So I added that to the list of things to watch every week. Then Thirdmango wrote about Gossip Girl on his TV blog, and I realized that Kristen Bell was the narrator. So I had to at least watch the pilot. Then I just sort of got into the habit of watching it every week. Then Hamburger was curious why I wasn’t watching Grey’s Anatomy anymore, so I went online with the intent to figure out what was happening, but then I accidentally got sucked into the spin-off of Grey’s, Private Practice. I don’t know if I’ll keep up with that one, but for now I’m keeping an eye on it. I was chatting with Martin online the other day, and she suggested I preview Samantha Who? to tell her if it was any good. It is. It got added to the list. I also discovered Pushing Daisies from Martin, and since it’s pretty much wonderful and everyone who’s anyone watches it, it got added to my list as well. Someone on the Board Board mentioned Jericho, and I also ended up watching that over the course of the last month or so. Luckily (or perhaps unluckily), there won’t be any new episodes of Jericho until January, so for now I don't have to watch every week. Oh, and if I ever miss the Office, I catch up on that online as well. That’s eight shows I’m watching each week. So clearly, TV online is not the best thing that has ever happened to me (but it sure is fun).
