Due to the many time constraints in my life, it has become necessary to make cutbacks in my pop culture addiction. I think the first step was minimizing the number of gossip blogs I view on a daily basis. Sorry Perez Hilton, you're not worth my time anymore. Don't get me wrong, there are still many sites that I check out multiple times a day (they are listed at the bottom of my blog) but at least if there is some news mixed in I feel less bad about myself.
The next step was ditching Grey's Anatomy. I watched the first two eps of the season and couldn't take it any longer. GA, you lost me when Christina got impaled with the icicle. Even shots of McSteamy shirtless aren't enough to keep me watching. Now I hear about Izzy and her ghost sex and I'm SO glad that I've given up on this. What was once an enteraining and smart show is now the hollow shell of what it used to be.
Which brings us to 2009... My first TV vow of the new year is that I will not watch American Idol until they get to Hollywood Week. I can't stand the auditions and the exploitation of ridiculous singers. Yes, I know these people show up and think they have talent and on some level deserve to be made fun of, but it's just too much. Plus, AI was on for FOUR hours over two nights this past week! My DVR (and my brain) can't handle it. AI, I'll be there once the real talent shows up. Until then, there's always Youtube.

Any 30 Rock in your repertoire?
ReplyDeleteHeck yes! It's one of my favorite things, kinda like sweater capes, calypso music and high heeled flip flops.
ReplyDeleteI could not agree more about Grey's. I ditched it last year, mostly due to time constraints, but I'm so glad I did. We got out just in time, friend.
ReplyDeleteHaha! I hear ya about Idol. My DVR is about to explode. I need to switch to HD, but I need to copy things off of it first!
ReplyDeleteI quit Grey's Anatomy a couple seasons ago, but meeting T.R. Knight at the GLAAD Awards last month almost made me wish I was still watching it!
Well, I'm a full-fledged Idol addict. Go Adam!
ReplyDeleteBlake, you're in Visalia? That's where I am this weekend!
