That can really mess with your sense of time. It's 4am in real life, but 8am in the show and the sun's coming up. Very weird. We never had the courage to start the second season because watching the first one was so exhausting. My wife and I watched the first season of 24 in about 36 hours.

There was a TP Party every Thursday with all the fun tour guides but I skipped it every single week. Why? My mom used to make Cherry Pie and Coffee and we'd sit and enjoy the show together. We fought as fiercly as any mom, and daughter as I was growing up, but bonded over David Lynch. Ill always have a warm feeling for TP - even though they ended the second season with Heather Graham. Deadwood Deadwood Deadwood. Also I just saw Nip/Tuck for the first time and found it sexy, intellegent, funny and very engaging, but maybe not for everyone. Give it a try. factually, facty Back when Twin Peaks was on I lived at home and worked as a tour guide at Universal Studios.

You get the knives, the Showtime grill and the bald-spot covering paint shows, but don't have to suffer through the abominably unwatchable pocket fisherman spots from the early 80s. Popeil took a little while to hit his groove. Seriously though, take <em>Monk</em> out for a test drive at some point. Tony Shalhoub is terrific on the show.

Lost and Battlestar Galactica are pretty nifty. HUFF (on Showtime, but I think the first season is out on DVD now) is a great, twisted little drama. Rescue Me is also definitely worth watching. Yeah, I like TV. It's a failing. The Shield, The Wire and Deadwood are three of the finest shows ever made. Lost and Battlestar Galactica are pretty nifty.
