2Monday nights has gotten rough for the old TV watcher as there are 5 things on I normally watch. Here’s what I do:
1. Watch Prison Break live in HD,
2. Watch 24 live in low-def while I tape Heroes in HD,
3. Watch recorded Heroes in HD while I tape Studio 60 in HD and CSI-Miami in low-def,3 4|
As I have said before, I respect the office of the Presidency, but it is getting more and more difficult for me to respect the current administration occupying the White House. Why should I respect the White House if they do not even respect a former President? I think comments like that are a reflection of our current president, whether the words came from him directly, or through a spokesperson. And it is an ugly reflection.
4. Watch recorded Studio 60 in HD.
5. Watch CSI-Miami sometime later.
Whew! Why do I watch all these shows? Because they’re great? Here’s the recaps. Don’t read these if you’re spoiler-averse, but I’ve put the real spoilers in Inviso-text…
