Normally I wouldn't get emotional while reading the TV Guide, but after what I saw just now tears of joy are welling up. The long drought of television programming is over! Tonight, in anticipation of the premiere in two weeks is a catch-up episode of the Soprano's. For a full hour-and-a-half!
Now I know what you're thinking, but you're wrong. You're thinking, Howard, you shouldn't get so excited over what's on television. You shouldn't watch so much television. You should read a book, or go outside and do something. Well, I've done all that, but I still have 2-3 hours a day where I could use some entertaining diversion. I watched weightlifting last night, and it was broadcast in Finnish. I think I'm entitled to a little bit of HBO now and again.
One year ago, even though the only furniture I had was an air mattress, I still had Direct TV and all 275 channels of programming. I was a vegetable, but I was entertained. Here, in J-town, with 12 channels, only 6 of which are sometimes watchable. Well it ain't the same.
