those who know me well know that i have a bit of an addiction. let's call it an 'entertainment' addiction. music, movies, and tv. i love it all, and i feel no shame or remorse. for the most part, i do try and keep my addictions at manageable levels. i implement certain failsafes that are supposed to prevent me from getting in over my head, as it were. one of these failsafes in regards to the television facet of my addiction, is to pre-select a certain number of shows to follow, and stick to my guns. there might be other shows that look appealing, but i will avoid them just for the sake of my sanity and time management.

case in point, 'friday night lights.' i knew this show would be a problem for me. don't ask me why, i have less than zero interest in actual football, but movies or television shows about the sport have me glued to my seat. so i've avoided it. with gilmore girls and veronica mars on on tuesday nights, it wasn't too much of a sacrifice.

but then, those clever network executives reached out to the suckers like me and i bit. with studio 60 on hiatus last night, they instead aired friday night lights, and oh craap, i'm hooked. again, the reason completely eludes me. i have never 'gotten' football, i'm much more of a basketball girl, but i've been reeled in, and have to add another show to the lineup.

between how i met your mother, heroes, studio 60, the bachelor: rome, gilmore girls, veronica mars, lost, grey's anatomy, ugly betty, six degrees, men in trees, survivor, amazing race, real world road rules challenge, the original csi, and now friday night lights--not to mention the ocassional law and orders, emergency vets, mythbusters, the english dubbed japanese gameshow mxc, and my netflix queue which currently has me working on dark angel, prison break, and very soon west wing season 7, and boston legal--i think i am going to have to quit my job. anyone hiring a professional tv watcher?
