The only tv that I watch is on Tuesday nights, Scrubs and Love Monkey. I used to watch more, but they kept cancelling my shows (Friends, Joey), so now I only watch those two. And I’m not saying that there isn’t more good tv out there, I’m just saying that I limit myself to these two shows because they are awesome, and this way I’m not wasting more than 2 hours a week sitting in front of a tv doing nothing when I have so much work to do (see I Suck to learn what I need to be doing).

First things first, Scrubs is amazing. It is the single funniest show I have ever watched, and I’m proud to say that I’ve been there since the beginning. This guy I worked with in Northfield, MN (his name was John L., so we called him Sven) and I used to watch it every week over dinner and beer way back in ‘01. And the rest is , as they say, history.

Although I will say this: if Zach Braff can make it in this world, I think that I’m going to be ok. Honestly, he’s a nerd, he’s not that good looking, and he can’t run (one of my biggest pet peeves is when they make actors run on screen, and you get to really see how uncoordinated they truly are). So, since I can run, and I am a nerd, and I’m not that good looking, I think there’s hope.

Second, if you haven’t started watching Love Monkey yet, you really need to start. The guy that plays JD’s older brother on Scrubs (Tom Cavanagh (also the guy from Ed) is an A/R guy for an Indie record label who has a close group of friends, a rock star client, a love interest/co-worker (who I find totally annoying, but his group of friends more than make up for it), and a lot of laughs. Some of the more memorable quotes that I remember from the last few shows:

“That man is a converstaional cul-de-sac.”

(To his old boss at the big label record company who says that they are both the same) “We are not the same. At the end of the day, you have your high rise corner office and your view of the river, and I, I have a lot less money than you…”

“Just buddy tape it.”

Of course it seems to be going around the rumor mill that after the first 6 episodes, the show is going to be cancelled. What a crock. So I urge you to write a letter to CBS (go the the feedback button at the bottom of the page) asking them to keep the show on the air. It probably won’t work, since when did the companies actually care about what the people actually want to watch, but it is worth a try.

And remember, the most important thing here is to keep my tv watching habits regular, and not to make me watch reality TV (if I really wanted to watch some crappy reality television show, I would just take a video camera around with me all day long).
