Tomorrow is Thursday and The Office is back on. I can hardly wait.  So here's my TV watching schedule:

Monday : Two and a half men. (I watched this week's 6th season pilot. Hilarious. The show is still funny.)

Tuesday:
Free to do whatever (I probably will watch one of the shows that I recorded.)

Wednesday: Pushing Daisies.

Thursday:  My Name Is Earl, The Office, and recording Grey's Anatomy. I will only watch the episodes that Bernadette Peters is in. I hope that they don't make her a regular. I really don't like GA anymore.

Friday: Wife Swap, Supper Nanny, and 20/20 (I will watch those only if I don't have anything better things to do.)

Saturday: Free to do whatever.

Sunday: Desperate Housewives.

Shows that I record and watch at my leisure: Real Time with Bill Mahr.

Of course, Lost will be in the lineup when it comes back on the air in February and I hope that Samantha Who? will be on the air soon. (I hope that Christina Applegate's illness won't prevent the show from airing.)

I finally finished watching Tuesday's episode of Boston Legal. I don't know what to say. I guess, I am questioning myself as to why I even bother watching this show. The show is just one big excuse for sex. I can't believe that lawyers spend so much of their time having sex in their office. I am not a prude, but I think that this show jumped the shark in its first episode of Season 2. 

I started thinking on why I started watching the show in the first place. The only answer I could come up with is that I started to watch because of William Shatner. I loved the way he made fun of himself: Denny Crane. 

The beginning of Season 2, however, was mostly about how many women James Spader can screw. The end was about how many lawyers can screw each other and where. The trials were bizarre and unbelievable. So why do I continue watching? Is it the same reason that many of us when seeing a horrible accident on the road can’t keep our eyes off of the carnage? I stopped watching Prison Break because it was so gruesome. I couldn't stand the violence. I think I will do the same with this show. I am giving it one more week, and if I still feel the way I felt tonight, I will remove it from my TIVO lineup.

I'm beginning to believe that both Boston Legal and Prison Break belong on the cable channels and not on the main TV channels. Of course, because of HBO, Boston Legal and Prison Break are pushing the buttons to see how far they can go. Give me LOST anytime. Now there's a show that is innovative and not offensive.

I can't believe that I became a real TV fanatic. But before LOST came on the small screen, I found that there was no real good shows to watch. This season, however, I can say that it isn't so anymore.
 
My Name Is Earl
This show was as funny and silly as usual.
 
The Office
First of all, the third season opener of The Office came on like a bang. What a funny episode. I was not disappointed. I think that they handled the Pam–Jim relationship really well. I am glad that she did not marry that bozo she was engaged to, and I am glad that the show was not ruined by placing Jim and Pam in a love relationship. In my opinion, the show would have gone downhill with the romance aspect.
 
I loved Michael's shenanigans. What a dolt he was. But then again, that was the Michael we've grown to love: Insensitive, brash, and clueless, and all the while he thinks he is being sensitive, friendly, and knowledgeable. He tried so hard to show how sensitive he was to gay people and all the time putting his foot in his mouth twenty times over.
 
It was sad to see both Pam and Jim looking so lost without their soul mates. However, it was a great idea to have Jim transfer to Connecticut and leave Pam in Scranton. I loved that she is now on her own. She tried to get Ryan play the inside jokes she and Jim so well played. Ryan was just clueless.
 
Dwight, like Michael, was the usual fool, and it was great to see that even as far as Connecticut, Jim was still able to get the best of Dwight.
 
I loved the idea of seeing both offices: the competents vs. the fools. Loved it. What can I say, the show did not disappoint me.
 
Grey’s Anatomy
We started the season where we left off. Izzy was mourning Denny’s death; Meredith was regretting her lack of constraint with Derek. It was a good show. I learned a lot of new things, there were some obligatory medical trauma, and the characters were true to life. I still wish the show was on Sunday nights.
 
All in all, I enjoyed my Thursday night. I still need to watch the episode of Boston Legal that I recorded on Tuesday. I have mixed feeling a bout that show. I hope that it doesn’t disappointment me as it did last year.
