Why Aren't You Watching... Wednesday Edition
At 8pm, hit the Tivo and tune to Fox for That 70s Show. It still makes me chuckle aloud at least once a show. However, the show to watch live at eight is clearly Lost. After two episodes, I'm totally hooked. Interesting characters, a complex interweaving story and some sort of a monster on a deserted (or is it?) isle, what else could you ask for in a TV Show?
A lot of people like Smallville. I've watched it and as much as I like twenty-something actors pretending to still be in high school, I just haven't been able to get into it.
At 9pm, things get sketchy. Fox offers an hour of Bernie Mac. It's a good show and doesn't get the ratings it deserves. This is what you should watch. You might also want to check out Kevin Hill on UPN. It's a little simplistic and the plot contrivence to get a baby into Taye Diggs hands is about as believable as government intelligence reports regarding Iraq, but it's a decent quick hour. The bachelor is on ABC, but who cares. CBS and NBC are re-running various Law and Order and CSI episodes to build up to...
10pm...where Law and Order and CSI:NY go head to head. My advice...watch Wife Swap on ABC. Unlike Fox's version this is just a good sociological look at fish out of water and different families in America. CSI:NY is so dark it's not even funny (and in fact it has no humor in it at all) and while I still like Law and Order, I'll just catch it in one of the hundred or so reruns durning the next week.
