Summer TV's almost over...
I've been watching a lot of television in my spare time this summer. With a new 61" HDTV, HD cable service, and a Blockbuster.com subscription, it's really a recipe to watch A LOT of TV.
First I have to say that I'm upset that my few summer TV friends will be leaving me for the summer. I LOVE Entourage. I have to say that I was pretty disappointed in HBO post-Sex and the City. I didn't get HBO for The Sopranos like a lot of my friends (I got it for Sex and the City), and I really feared that Curb Your Enthusiam, which my old roommate absolutely loved, was the best HBO could do post-Sex. No offense to those that like Curb, but I did not enjoy it at all. But Entourage has reaffirmed my faith in HBO original programming. I'm going to be sad when Vince and the boys go away - they have been one of my few comforts in a summer of little original programming and lots of bad reality shows.
Of the reality shows, Project Runway is on right now, and like last season, I'm totally addicted. It will luckily see me through to the fall since I think there are at least two more months of Project Runway programming left. More so, I've become addicted to Design Star on HGTV. The rest of the summer reality shows have honestly been tedious. It's a hard investment to ask me to watch the same show more than once a week, so that dance show and the rockstar shows are kind of hard for me to follow.
I think cable TV has it dead on right with putting out great summer television while the networks go on vacation. I've actually never gotten the whole season of television thing. Do people really stop watching TV in the summer? I like watching TV all year round. But Entourage and The Closer have really saved my summer night TV viewing.
What I'm absolutely excited about is that Grey's Anatomy is coming back very very soon. No more reruns! I first watched the show mainly because it featured some of my old roommate's songs, but I had a lot going on during Season 2 and only watched about half of the season. Thankfully today every hit TV show goes to DVD at the end of the season, so as of September 12th, I will be the proud owner of Grey's Anatomy Season 2. It'll give me a couple weeks to rewatch seasons 1 and 2 on DVD before the season 3 premiere!
Grey's Anatomy is probably one of the best things to happen to my TV in a really long time. I mean, for a long time post-Sex and the City, all I watched on TV was the Food Network and the Style Network and lots and lots of DVDs. With Grey's, my friends and I talk about the characters as if they were real, and I absolutely adore the characters that the creators have made. The characters are so archetypal, and the show is so intelligently done, how could anyone help not loving it?
