Why Aren't You Watching... Monday Edition
Mondays pretty much blow as far as tv is concerned. Sure, if you are a sports fan, there's Monday Night Football, but things slide downhill quickly from there.
At eight check out Antiques Roadshow on PBS...it's a lot like the lottery. You can watch and think to yourself..."I bet that piece of crap Hummel grandma left me in her will is worth $10 million dollars, just like that woman on the Antiques Roadshow."
At nine head to CBS to watch Everybody Loves Raymond and then Two and a Half Men. Yes, they are the popular choice, but sometimes that's because they're good. This is one of those times. Both shows are funny and Raymond is ducking out after this season before it gets too old. Good for them.
If you'd rather try a drama, head to the WB and watch Everwood. It's about a doctor who moves to a small town after his wife dies. It stars Treat Williams, who doesn't look half as uncomfortable as you might have thought seeing how this isn't a B-Moive. In the show,his teenage son, who hates him because that's what teenagers do, gets one girl pregnant (but doesn't know it) and is seeing a second girl. Plus, Scott Wolf (of Party of Five) is joining the cast. If you need to know more about the show, you probably won't want to watch it.
At ten, read a book. Many would tell you to watch CSI Miami, I'm not one of them. I don't think it's all that good. It's just a dead on copy of the original, but without the sense of humor. Plus, the biggest difference is the male lead. Both David Caruso and William Peterson have huge egos, but only Caruso's is apparent when he's on-screen.
