These are good years to be getting back into television.
I don’t mean that from a writing point-of-view, obviously. I mean as a viewer. I spent a good while using my TV as a monitor for my XBox, or my DVD player. Over the last few years, however, I have slowly started watching more TV programming than I ever have. The secret? Wait until the seasons are available on DVD.
See, with the series on DVD, I can watch whenever I want, without all the commercials and without having to wait a week (or more) for a new episode. I’m not at the whim of networks who decide to move a show and don’t tell anyone, or cancel a new episode so that they can air re-runs of Murder She Wrote. I can watch one at a time, or I can pull a marathon “all-night” viewing if I please. Since I started doing so, I’ve seen past seasons of Battlestar Galactica, Lost, House, M.D., The Office, Smallville, Heroes and even Grey’s Anatomy, to name a few. Good stuff indeed.
So what does this have to do with the title? Because House is my favorite character right now. I’ll probably write up something more extensive later. For right now, that guy just cracks me up when other people are looking horrified at what comes out of his mouth. I’m not sure that’s a good thing for me, but it makes me laugh.
