I'm Mike TV!

I am not trying to break my New Year's Resolution by not posting this week, I have just been under-the-weather and not really up to posting. In my down time, I have had the opportunity to watch a little tele....here are a random smattering of thoughts:

The Office
I am at the point with The Office where I absolutely love it, DVR it, can't wait to watch it, but know that it will all come crashing down sooner than anyone would like. I call this The Seinfeld Syndrome. The majority of Americans who were watching Seinfeld in the '90s can recall a moment where they were so enthralled by the show that they would literally stop their life to watch it every Thursday night. However, just when the show was at a peak, it was announced that it was ending. I am afraid that The Office will put us all in the same position. I don't know when it is going to end, but I know that it will at some point and I will be sad.

Now, about the show....

Even though Michael Scott is a totally inept boss, wouldn't you love to work for him? Also, to further the debate, Hilary Swank is not hot.

The Principal's Office
A colleague and future contributor to this blog introduced me to a show on Tru TV called The Principal's Office. The premise of the show is the daily life of high school principals and the hilarity they encounter. Completely worth your time on Thursday nights from 10-11 EST. Last night three students showed up to school dressed as gorillas. While most people would laugh and say that this type of thing is rare, real teachers know that this is the type of weird shit that we encounter all of the time. Seriously...watch it.

LOST
It's baaaaaack! After not watching the first four seasons while they were on, I decided to catch up by watching all four seasons during the break in time before season 5 began. It was entirely worth my time and I am completely hooked. The season premiere combined the perfect amount of clarity and confusion that has been present in every episode during the first four years. Just when I was thinking about how many characters were brought back for the premiere, it reminded my how many are still out there and how many new characters we will be sure to meet in the next two seasons before it ends. If you don't watch it, you probably need to start with season one and catch up...there is no way you can start in the middle.

Finally....
I know this post was a little boring. Sorry. I am still a bit ill and not and my normally creative self. If you never really think that I am creative, I am reeeeeaaaaalllly sorry; however, one might ask, "Why are you reading this anyway?"

I'll be back with some hilarity soon...
