An End to the Season

I don't watch a ton of television.

I have a handful of shows, most of them rather similar:

Monday - "Castle", "Pawn Stars"
Tuesday - "Body of Evidence"
Wednesday - "Criminal Minds"
Thursday - "Bones", "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", "Grey's Anatomy" and "Private Practice" (but I am thinking it will be good if "Private Practice" is not renewed for the 2011-12 season)
Friday - Saturday - nothing
Sunday - "Celebrity Apprentice" (that just ended three days ago)

Now that the 2010-11 season is ending, more than half of these shows are off. Now there is nothing to watch. Summer shows are at a premium. Let me see... it looks like "Drop Dead Diva" will be returning on 19 June; "Eureka" returns on 11 July (that's not too long a wait...); "White Collar" returns on 7 June; and I can't think of any other summer-airing shows I watch.

It's tough being a fussbudget.

Hi Ash! The only show I watch of those you listed is 'Pawn Stars'. I like 'House Hunters International', 'Nurse Jackie' and 'The Borgias' and maybe one or two others I'm forgetting now. A friend suggested 'True Blood' but since I'm a few seasons behind I don't know if I'll get the chance to rent them before the new season starts.

p.s. I'm commenting from my newer jewelry blog today, but it's still Mary (Mary Says...)

EMT, thank you for writing - I appreciate it. I try to write well, try to keep errors out of the posts, but I tend to type fast and rush along, so don't always get the errors. I also tend to be a marathon writer, which can be good or bad. But it is always good to get a rave review. Thank you so much. I hope you keep reading and enjoying what I have to say!

Mary Catherine, thank you for the warm and fuzzy comments, as always. I didn't catch this until today, 1 February 2015 (how sad is that?). I really find that even though I am not working any longer, I watch very little television - it gets old. I would much rather bury my nose down a novel, on my iPad, or in printed form!

Interesting Aftermath a From Season Five of "MasterChef"

Do I agree with this? You will have to read it first and decide for yourself. I had long since made up my mind before finding this article. MasterChef Season 5 Fixed: Courtney Lapresi Won Finale After Getting Preferential Treatment – Former Stripper Favoritism BY  STORMY ELIZABETH  ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 "They say if you can’t take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, but what if you like it hot? If you’ve been watching  MasterChef this season 5 , you may have noticed that one contestant in particular seems to  be “winning” challenges  when her dishes don’t seem to be quite up to it.  Courtney Lapresi  has been billed as an “aerial dancer” on the show. So what exactly is that, you ask? It’s a fancy word for stripper. You may term what she does as burlesque, but nekked is nekked and she takes off her  clothes  when she dances, so you have to call them as you see them. Plus is it really...

The Longairc-Green Family

This is a family that was on Nanny 911 , the precursor to Supernanny , which airs on Wednesday nights. While Supernanny is a better production and leaves out some of the dopey American-isms of stupidity (such as the opening scene with a much older nanny head whose television showing the family and their issues turns around into a painting on the wall), this show has its value. These families are clueless or don't bother to try and definitely need help. This family is an exception in that the mother couldn't care less what the monsters do and will do anything to mollify them. The father is more consistent and definitely takes a much more disciplinary stance, but the mother undermines it at every step of the way. The two boys are so unbelievably rude, I'd've killed them where they stood. The little girl only wanted a moment of attention and was not doing anything negative, and the mother was awful to her. The nanny, Nanny Stella, spent the first day observing. When she s...

Shocking!

I always open my day at work by starting up my various programs that I'll bounce back and forth between throughout the insanity that is my normal workday. And they are always in the same order: Internet Outlook Microsoft Excel Microsoft Word The timekeeping program, GenPro, is always running. This is not me being unbelievably anal or just a little OCD, this is logic. I know excatly where everything is. It's just good organisational skills. When I open Outlook it is almost entirely for the e-mail. Yes, I do know how to use all of Outlook (well, 80% of it, any way, but since I use my belovèd Franklin Covey Time Management system (the physical book, not the electronic solution), I only use Outlook for e-mail. What is so shocking, you may ask? Be patient, I'm getting to that. I open the Internet and the default page is Wikipedia, in English. I happen to love that site and skim over whatever interesting things it may have, such as: Today's Featured Article The word thou was...
