Blogeriffic!

It's been a while since my last post. If you are interested to know what the delay was, you can read my husbands blog to find out.

But, I do not want to dwell on negative things, so I would like to take this opportunity to talk about the tv show that I am currently obsessed with. But first, some background history!

Every few years a network will put out a tv show that becomes the highlight of my week (in tv land anyways) and that surpasses all other shows - period. Then eventually the show looses it's momentum, changes writers, changes time slots, and eventually gets canceled. Or, in rarer cases, the show is too successful and the actors on it too talented to stay on prime time tv, so the show gets canned so that the actors can star in moveis. The first show that I obsessed over was of the latter sort. My So Called Life was a short-lived, but never the less AMAZING show on MTV. This was the show that inspired my weekly ritual of disconnecting with the world for an hour, refusing to take phone calls, peeing only during commercials, leaving me feeling both exhilarated and heart-broken at the end of the hour. I have very fond memories of the one season it aired.

The next show I obsessed over was Friends. We all know that Friends was canceled because it fizzled out after 10 years. It was a sad moment when it ended, but it's syndication keeps me fully entertained. Then came Sex In The City. Now, when the show first aired, I was able to TiVo it. But then I moved, no longer had cable, and had to wait until it was syndicated on TBS, at which point the obsession picked up right where it left off. Alias was another AMAZING show, so good in fact, that I had weekly Alias parties with my family every Sunday night. But then Jen Garner hooked up with Michael Vartan in real life, then broke up in real life, and in my opinion the show tanked after that.

Since Alias ended, I have been left with no tv obsession! I've merely been floating from show to show, desperately searching for that one spectacular plot line, that one eye-widening, jaw clenching, keeps me on the edge of my couch seat, kind of show to transfer my obsession to. I am proud to announce that my newest obsession is.... (drum-roll please)

HEROS ON NBC!!!!!

THIS SHOW ROCKS! There is simply no other way to put it. This show might even rock more than all the others mentioned above. Because for the first time in my tv obsession history, I'm actually shouting at my tv "No Way!" and "Awesome!" and other totally geeky things like "ohmigodthisisthebestshowever!" The best character on the show, Hiro (pun intended, I'm sure), is a nerdy Asian Treckie, who discovers he can teleport himself though time and space, which he will eventually put to use trying to save the world. It sounds silly, but I swear, if you watch it, you will be an instant convert. The show is so smart and entertaining, and never fails to put an interesting twist at the end. ( whcih I NEVER see coming!) And to top it off, on the Heros website, Hiro has his own blog!!!! I'm such a geek for this show! I love more than anything else on tv right now! When my mother and I discovered we were both secretly in love with this show, we had to squeal and jump up and down - yes, it's that good.

So please, check out Heros and Hiro's blog. And remember "Save the cheerleader, save the world". Fans of the show have no idea what that means yet, but you can bet your last dollar we'll all tune in to find out Monday at 8PM!
