What's next, American Idol?

~I haven't owned a TV in going on 13 years, so there's lots of programming that has come and gone without me ever seeing it. But about a year and half ago, I discovered Grey's Anatomy, first on DVD and then on-line. Recently it's become my habit to download the newest episode on Friday and watch it while I eat lunch.

~So a couple of weeks ago when GA was over, I idly clicked on the list of available shows, and then clicked on Dancing with the Stars--sort of fun to watch in a mindless sort of way (and I really need mindless these days). Cloris Leachman was a hoot (but no more, alas) and Susan Lucci dances nothing like I'd imagine Erica Kane would. She's really pretty restrained.

~Over the course of a couple of days, I managed to catch up with this season so far. And have been checking weekly to see who is the next to go. Silly really, but as I said before--mindless at a time I really need it.

~So is this the beginning of the end of my "no TV" life? And what will come next? Stay tuned!

I do love my Grey's Anatomy. And I watch Dancing with the Stars if it happens to be on while I'm folding laundry or doing other evening chores. Cloris Leachman was hilarious, wasn't she?

I absolutely love American Idol, I have to say. And I'm also a big fan of So You Think You Can Dance, in case you're looking for mindless TV suggestions :).

I don't watch tv and neither do my children (ages 9 and 6).

That is to say *clears throat* with the singular exception of 'Dancing with the Stars,' which we all simply melt over. GO figure.
