I find it to be theologically sound (by my understanding of theology) to a degree that I don't even find in church.
I've started to cry at the end of them, which is a good sign I think. I lost my ability to cry at TV for soooo long.
Maybe next I'll regain my joy in music.
But it does look funny next to Sex and the City. So I make sure they're always side to side. Naughty and sickly sweet. They're all parts of me, illustrated by my DVD cabinet. Right there besides Quantum Leap (which reminds me I can be sexual), Hogan's Heroes (ditto), The Monkees (Davy was dreamy, Micky is dreamy lol), Charmed (which makes me stir uneasily remembering my mother and Ouji boards), Monk, Nero Wolfe, Seinfeld, Everybody Loves Raymond (my family except that I'm Ray and my husband is Debra), Barney Miller (release the seasons with Dietrich you fools), Bob Newhart, MASH, and of course the original Star Trek (which has shaped my ideals of management and leadership). My husband's got Fawlty Towers, Blackadder, Thin Blue Line, and some shows I don't really care overmuch for. My son keeps the Spongebob Squarepants and Rugrats tapes. But I took over his Thomas the Tank Engine when he outgrew them. I'd have X Files too, even though I don't understand them, except I can't afford them. I do have "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" my all time favorite episode on a less expensive VHS tape. And would that they would release The Wonder Years, Get Smart, The Associates, and Jim Hutton's Ellery Queen in their entirety. Oh and the Luke and Laura early adventures. (blush)
We even named our son after three characters with the same first name. But I can't tell you which three. :(
Ok. I admit it. I'm a TV junkie. Not a passive viewer by any means. TV makes me think. It's a participatory experience for me. But I confess I don't understand today's TV with its emphasis on reality shows. I feel sort of icky, like a voyeur when I chance across those programs. But I'm sure there's a reason for their popularity that I just can't see.
