Things I'm glad about

Well, let's just start today's blog by saying I'm glad I never tried to offer my wares on Craigslist or sell my superstar child in India. I may not have money, but those are two things I will refrain from now and in the future.

I'm also glad that I have TV, as everyone reading this blog knows. So I've decided to instate a new weekly blog topic: what TV shows I'm looking forward to most this week. From now on, this blog topic will appear on Sundays, as no one seems to find it important to visit my blogs on Sundays. Perhaps this will change your mind!

Some shows I was looking forward to this week but have already watched: the days following the death of Edie, played by Michael Bolton's ex Nicolette Sheridan, on "Desperate Housewives;" coming-into-his-own college sophomore Rusty silently fights with his "little" frat brother Andy, played by Jesse McCartney on "Greek;" Serena gets fake married in Italy on "Gossip Girl;" and a 40-year-old woman looks for love with men in their 20s on TV Land's "The Cougar," hosted by Vivica A. Fox.

Coming up the rest of the week (I will be selective with my picks, I promise):

Tuesday
-"People's Court" Judge Marilyn Milan on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show"
-My man Delonte West and the rest of the Cleveland Cavaliers play their second playoff game against the Detroit Pistons
-Bob gets emotional, Jillian yells, Tara wins yet another challenge on "The Biggest Loser"
-Tori Spelling performs in her second episode of a four-episode stint as her iconic character Donna on "90210"

Wednesday
-
An Earth Day special on "Martha Stewart"
-Stacey narrows the field of potential young lovers on "The Cougar"
-Someone else annoying goes home on "American Idol"

Thursday
-A random episode of "Bridget's Beaches," starring one of Hugh Hefner's many exes, just because I've never had the pleasure of watching before
-Tyson playing assistant coach to Coach on "Survivor," and hopefully turning his back on the dragon slayer
-Everything on NBC from 8:30-11. This is: "Parks & Recreation," "The Office," "30 Rock" and "Southland." Do I like all of these shows? I'm not sure, but I'll watch anything with Ben McKenzie brooding (see definition No. 3) and the guy who looks like an Indian version of my old coworker.

Friday & Saturday
-Catching up on everything I missed throughout the week because Friday and Saturday television is absolutely awful
-The Cavs winning their third game of the first round, Friday night at 7:00

What is there that I am just flat-out missing? What shows do you think I should start watching? Let me know! If you need to know any show times, also let me know. I'm a walking TV Guide.

  2. Probably not your taste, but its worth a shot anyway. South Park, Wednesday nights @ 10 on Comedy Central. Futile attempt, I know, but it was worth a shot.

  3. To Mike: Impressed.

    To Rob: Yes, I actually do watch this occasionally, only because it is Patrick's favorite show. But I will definitely take your advice and watch this week!

  4. I think you should watch Better Off Ted. It is really pretty funny. Also, be warned that they put in really funny fake commercials during the commercial breaks. I think it is usually the first commercial break, but I am not sure. Just so you don't fast forward past them!!

  5. Just to add a nerdy suggestion that will likely produce criticism:

    I am currently looking forward to watching a mini-series on the History Channel titled Life After People. I have yet to watch it due to exam studying, but it started today.
