It first started about this time last year. Though it didn’t last too long thankfully, shortly into the new year the problem subsided, temporarily it would seem. But it has begun again. It has even led to one of my house-mates commenting that I “watch a lot of T.V”. I wasn’t sure how to respond. I still like to think that I don’t.
When I was a lot younger I watched a lot of tv. Even jotting in my little notebook each Saturday what I planned to watch in the week ahead. Eventually, the internet was free for as many minutes a month (dial-up), then broadband came along. Television was a thing of the past.
But then…
In the last few years good shows started being made, or I started discovering them: Family Guy, Green Wing, Black Books, Boomtown, The Shield, Will & Grace, Everybody Loves Raymond and The O.C.. But most importantly; Scrubs and Grey’s Anatomy, and up until the last year, ER, but I don’t find it so appealing anymore - Since Dr. Carter left it just hasn’t been the same.
I still stand by the fact that I don’t watch T.V. as such. I watch only quality shows. No advertising, no shite. No reality shows, no soaps, no talk-shows, no game shows. Computer, DVDs, Joost. There is no need for a Television set. Really no need.
Right now, Grey’s Anatomy is taking over. It began around this time last year. By that time I had caught up with each episode to be aired to date. Once I got my new camera it stopped. No time for T.V. But in the last couple of weeks it has begun again? Have I more time? No. Maybe it’s because my job is pissing me off more and more each day I need time to really chill out.
Grey’s Anatomy is by far the greatest show on T.V. in a long long time, and still to be beaten - though Heroes is a close runner. It is filled with such emotion, great friendships, complications, drama, humour and the occasional bit of doctory stuff.
It can sometimes be too emotional. There has been a tear in my eye on far too many occasions. I sometimes yearn for such a life, even a little drama would make things interesting. But as a friend once said with the scenario of The O.C., [paraphrasing] ‘It may seem sunny, they are rarely happy’.
Now to watch the final episode of Season 3 of Grey’s Anatomy.
