Why Aren't You Watching... Thursday Edition
8pm Watch Joey, Tivo Survivor. I like Survivor, but it moves so much faster when you can speed through the challenges and all that useless yapping at the Tribal Council. Joey has so far been uneven, but it's better than many of the comedies on tv (see TGIF on ABC). Skip Will and Grace at 8:30, it's tired and played out.
9pm Watch CSI, Tivo The Apprentice. Both are compelling and worth watching, but again it's much easier to watch when you can fast forward past the parts that don't matter.
10pm watch nothing or better yet see if there's a good medical documentary show on TLC or The Discovery Channel. ER absolutely blows. It lost it's direction about five years ago and it's been skating on reputation every since. It's time to let it go. If you really need something, watch Without A Trace. It's not my favorite show, but it's a hell of a lot better than ER is these days.
