After truly feeling disconnected from the world for 2 years I have started to watch TV again. (We are canceling our cable later this week.) The blasted writers are on strike so the quality has gone down and even some of my favorite show has stopped. There are only so many game/reality game shows one can take. For me it is about 5 minutes worth, you know right at the end of some dramatic pause that was added in during post production then it cuts to commercial. Well that turns me off. 

Okay, so where was I… So the fall season started and all the promos for new show were filling every break. I noticed one show that I thought looked good. I caught the replay of the first episode on a Saturday night. Chuck. You may have heard of it. You may hate it. I found it interesting and entertaining. It isn’t very often that I see a promo and like a show. The last time that happened was 2004 with LOST. Now I live a secret life of all things LOST. Susan even buys me the DVDs.

School as usual got in the way of any television experience, especially on a regular basis… except The Office but a club meeting destroyed that this last semester. Sometime in the fall I signed up for hulu.com. I finally got the invite to check them out. It is amazing. I have been very impressed although you kinda need a fast isp.

They have so many shows. The old ones are awesome, A-Team, Air Wolf, WKRP in Cincinnati and others. But most importantly they have current shows including Chuck. So on Friday and Saturday I watched the first 10 episodes. The boys were tired Friday night and they even stayed up to watch it. It is a clean, smart and funny show. There is some shooting and fighting but nothing excessive. And one of the cool things is one of the characters has an iPhone with the same case as me. Sweet!
