I am not much of a tv watcher. I am more of a tv listener. I have the tv on all the time for noise. Taking on a task in a quiet room makes me completely unproductive. My mind wanders and doesn't concentrate on the task at hand. I need that background noise to occupy some part of my brain that otherwise is very unhappy being idle. During the day while I am puttering about the house, working in the kitchen, cooking, doing laundry or even sitting with my laptop trying to vcatchup in the minutes Steven the Tornado has slowed down there are shows I prefer to listen to. One of my favorites is City Confidential. Probably the thing that attracts me most to this show is the fact that more often than not the shows are about some place I know. Many times it has been a show centered in Northern Virginia, Metro D.C., or out this way in 'horse country'. There is a gossipy feel to some segments of the show and the snide, tongue-in-cheek, smart-ass quips often make me laugh a little. It is no secret the amount of wealth that resides in the big estates and manors nestled into the hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. I am here to tell you alot of those people are theives, murders, suspected murders, felons, shadey characters hidden behind the iron gates and green money. It is shocking to know who lives where in such close vacinity to me. I also listen to American Justice, Cold Case Files, Law and Order, CSI, CSI:Miami, and several others. Evening tv is completely different for me. It has an entirely different set of rules. Often we watch whatever new has come from Netflix. We have spent the last couple of weeks watching the PBS line-up of Manor House, Regency House, Colonial House, Frontier House and others mixed with an odd selection of movies old and new. Except for Sunday and Tuesday night. On those nights I am glued to the TV. Would it surprise you to know that not only am I a huge fan of Gene Simmons Family Jewels but I am also a giant fan of Dog the Bounty Hunter? I am! We have always only had basic cable service. I have always been happy with basic cable. There is alot to choose from on basic cable. However, Comcast caught me a weak moment this week and I signed up for the promotional offer of HBO, Showtime and Starz for just pennies increase in our cable bill. The cable guy is supposed to come hook us up sometime Monday morning. I have no idea what is on those channels. It has been years since I have even turned on a TV that has those channels. This is where I need your help. What is there to watch on those channels? Is there something we must see? What should we be watching that doesn't interfere with my Sunday and Tuesday night must see tv?
