I Guess I Did Miss Some Good Stuff

Often I have written about the lack of television in my home. Ever since M-Boy was born we haven't had network television or cable. And when Mouse was born we only had AFN in Berlin and crazy german stations so I can say that I have not had regular access to television shows since 1989. About 3-4 years back we start purchasing DVD's because my mom had moved in and missed watching TV. She had heard "24" was good so she bought it and loved it. I didn't watch along. I just wasn't interested. Then she was craving more so I picked up CSI for her. I did watch this time and fell in love. Since then, we have purchased every season of every CSI city there is. I admit I take pride in the fact that I missed the whole Ross/Rachel fiasco of Friends (never seen a show in its entirety) and that Beverly Hills 90210 means nothing more than an address to me. But then my mom handed me these four little boxes a few weeks ago with a label slapped across in bold white letters "The Pretender". She said " [Daphne] I think this is one show that you would enjoy." So I gave it a shot. I am a freaking addict now. How can you not love a man who eats pez regularly? Or a woman who knows how to use a gun better than any other guy on the show? Why is there only 4 seasons of this show? I haven't got past season 2 yet so maybe it takes a downward suck spiral in the next 2 but I know once I finish these 4 boxes I will feel empty. I am mildly but pleasantly surprised that network television had something to offer to a girl like me. Next time you all tell me about a TV show, I promise I will listen. I might not watch but I will definitely understand how you feel. Now if you will excuse me, Jarod and Miss Parker await.
