Four shows that I’m enjoying right now that you should be too:

  1. Friday Night Lights – I can’t really tell you how good this show is, but even if I did, you probably wouldn’t watch it. Besides me and a few people in Florida, nobody else has bothered. Maybe you don’t like football. Great! It’s not really about football. It’s about the pressure to succeed, struggles in life, etc. It’s very powerful, but it doesn’t matter because you aren’t going to watch it. Please watch it.
  2. Scrubs – This is the funniest show you’re not watching, unless you sampled it and thought it wasn’t funny. Then you’re just stupid missing out. You probably also rent movies like “John Tucker Must Die”, but I’m just guessing.
  3. 30 Rock – Some shows are only for a niche audience. Like “The Office” which I don’t like. Sorry. But this niche show has Alec Baldwin. Alec “Sorry, I smelled crazy in here and thought it was you” Baldwin. Seriously, rent Glengarry Glen Ross. Alec Baldwin is a badass. Always be closing. I’m talking to you Jack Lemmon. Also, rest in peace. Baldwin is funny as hell in this show. Watch it a few times just for him. Stay for everyone else. Especially the guy with the trucker hat(s).
  4. Ugly Betty – Nicole is going to say it’s not fair that I included this show since I’ve only seen it a few times and I made fun of it at first. But that’s how I find everything. Before I watched Scrubs (back in the dark ages) I refused to even watch an episode. Why? Because like Imus, I was doing a lot of vodka and cocaine back then. Just kidding Mom. About the vodka. Sadly, I also waited until season 3 to start watching The X-Files because I was convinced it was about “a bunch of stupid alien crap”. This from the guy who later named Buffy the best show of all time. Me.  Meanwhile, Ugly Betty is funny and well written. And that Betty is pretty adorable. Yeah, I said it. If I wasn’t hooked on Smallville like a nympho on rhymes with Dick Cheney, I’d watch Betty live.  Until then, that stupid DVR had better start working. Oh how I despise you SuddenLink.

So that’s it.  But before I go, let me share a little ‘behind the scenes’ information on how this site is run.  I’ve typed this entry extremely fast because I didn’t space my NoDoz far enough apart. I’ll need to wrap it up now because my heart may explode soon. Watch these shows. Let me know what you’re watching. I can squeeze it in. I’m on Centaurian time, standard thirty-seven hour day. You’ll get used to it.
