Curious about what summer TV shows you’ve been watching, as I’m always looking for great shows that I haven’t seen before …

Tired of the bad news, and what to do about it
Lately, Jill & I have been watching the 10pm news (I like Ron Magers & Kathy Brock on ABC-7) before bedtime.
Last night, I just couldn’t do it … too much doom, too much bad news, too much overload.
Instead, I flipped on Comedy Central to see Jon Stewart.
Curing the economy blues with a double-shot of funny - The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.
Am I the only one thinking this way? I’m curious about your escapes.
It feels like a lifetime ago
Lots of new TV shows back on the tube this month, with fresh episodes to boot. Nip/Tuck debuted last night on F/X, although we’ll catch it tonight on TiVo. 90210 had a fresh episode on the CW, and most other shows are back in the swing.
The biggest anticipation at our house? The return of Lost on ABC on Wednesday, January 21st at 7pm … my wife Jill writes the Lost Blog each year, and plans another round for 2009. You can catch up on her *very detailed* musings here.
What TV show are YOU most anticipating the return of? Let’s talk about it, today after 3pm.
Two other show notes:
- I just found out that Brad Paisley will check in tomorrow afternoon after 6pm. We last spoke to him at Halloween, so hopefully he’ll have some New Year insight for us.
- I’ve joined the Twitter world – have you? It’s just another way to keep in touch, in bite-size pieces. TWEET away with me at the link above (on the index bar)!
On the show this week:
On My Mind...
- @dealestate that home sale you just tweeted, was purchased with $1.2million CASH? Seriously?
- @TrishBiondo I had a dream you were live tweeting #SB46 last night. Then again, I had 1200 tweets pop in between 7-10:30p (!), so maybe not
- Most people drink beer on Super Bowl Sunday. Jill just wants a chocolate malt #thatisheraddiction #beerme #cheerstoyou
