Okay, so I’m one of those moms. I bake my own bread, I can my own food, I sew quilts. I wore April in a sling and she only plays with wooden toys and eats organic food. Despite all fo this, I haven’t gone to far as some other Cantabridgian moms have. I admit it — I still watch TV.
April doesn’t. The only Nick she’s ever seen was at the doctor’s office, she doesn’t know who Elmo or Dora is, she’s avoided all the Disney stuff. But I still like my TV. I watch House and Mythbusters and The Daily Show back before the gov’t pulled it off the air. I like some cooking shows and I love The Closer.
So I’m really annoyed at the this whole delayed fall season. I get that the U.S.A. now has much more stringent rules about what can go on the air — they call it national security, we call it censorship. But the fact that the office of free speech or whatever they call it didn’t present these guidelines until now, two weeks before the first episode of House was supposed to go on the air! The fact that there’s talk of not letting the telecoms export the shows to the U.S.N.E. at all….
Damnit, I need my Hugh Laurie fix.I have to know what’s going to happen with House and Cutty! Is she or isn’t she? I’ve got a friend who is all kinds of twisted up over the delay in the Desperate Housewives premiere, too. The whole Bree plotline has her freaking out. And what about Lost? We’re all dying for more Lost!
I guess I can’t complain too much. I mean, we seceded. We don’t get a say in what the U.S.A. gov’t does any more. And while the U.S.N.E. gov’t would never censor any damned thing, Boston isn’t really a hopping center of film and television. I just wish California and New York would secede, too, so we could keep getting our shows.
I really miss John Stewart.
