Wednesday Overload
Tonight there are three series’ airing new episodes that we generally have a laudatory opinion of here at Grid Effect. In addition to Friday Night Lights and South Park (which only airs in 6-8 episode intervals), Survivor has been moved to tonight for this week for the sake of the NCAA’s; and that is perfectly acceptable considering we would have a three week hiatus if they didn’t (for a fucking reality series at that).
My point being, that while I enjoy summarizing, watching, debating and categorizing all the aspects of all these series, I like to get off my couch once in a while. Currently, there are four out of the six nights in which I do not watch a single series: Sunday (soon to change with Entourage and, more importantly, The Sopranos returning on April 8th), Monday (Yeah, yeah, I know, The Black Donnelly’s, but you have no idea how hesitant I am to tune into that every Monday, in fact the only reason I do is for material), Tuesday and Friday.
So I guess this is a plea to the networks… can’t we space out the quality programming? After I am done watching all three of these episodes tonight not only am I going to be one step closer to full blown carpel tunnel, but I might have to jog three hours just to compensate for the lack of physical activity, and I hate jogging. So take this with a grain of salt, I know you network overlords have bigger fish to fry, but quit deferring to American Idol on Tuesdays, 24 on Mondays and the steaming pile of dog shit that ABC offers up on Sundays; then maybe I can get back to a semblance of reality and stop living in Pleasantville on Wednesdays. Thanks.
