Not the most important thing you'll read today, but still...

A few years ago I really started to like the TV show Men in Trees.  It was the first prime time show I'd  watched regularly in a long time...maybe since Friends.

During my Men in Trees stint I was introduced to the maddening ways of modern TV decision makers.  Two or three episodes here, then a LONG hiatus connected to some sort of prime time sporting event, after that, one or two more episodes on a different night than before so no one knows it's back, call that Season 1, and 18 months later begin Season 2.

Honestly, I fell for Men in Trees, and then I felt violated when 9 months turned in to 18 months and all we got was 3 episodes leading to the end of the show.

Boo.  Don't toy with my emotions like that.

I pouted.  While I was licking my wounds, I watched the first couple of episodes of Parenthood.  And I told Honey that I thought it was going to be a show that I could get in to, but I didn't want to risk it.  Because what if I got attached and then it was cancelled?  So I quit.

And TV was dead to me for a while.

Last year, for some reason, I started watching Once Upon a Time. Leave it to Disney to pull me out of my TV slump.   I loved it so much!  We watched the first episode this week on the DVR and I am SO GLAD it's back!  I feel like I can trust the TV industry again.

With newly restored trust, this season we started watching Revolution.  Bubba, Honey, and I all love it.  It has a Hunger Games feel to it.  I don't know if that's good or bad for you, but for Bubba, it's good. 

I was late to the game with Downton Abbey.  I watched both seasons 1 & 2 on DVD, so I am very excited about season 3 in January.  Someone explain to me why they are showing it in England first?

I think I might find a way to catch up on Parenthood.  I really like Ray Romano.

And, I'll need to watch Downton again before it starts back up in January.

What are you watching these days?
