LOL, we don't have cable. A few months ago, we were in Fry's Electronic stores looking at $10,000 flat screen televisions. I told Candy I was going to go ask the saleman if they would take rabbit ears. I wonder how much she would have spewed if I'd actually done it! I do miss cable though, I miss Nip/Tuck and Rescue Me something fierce. Otherwise I don't care that much. I don't think SoapNetwork is worth the hassle, I can't stand most of what they call soap opera these days. As for premium channels, I'd rather just go rent a movie then pay all that for movies I don't want to see. We do rent a ton of movies, but we're running out of things to rent and have started scraping the bottom of the barrel, shiver... some of the crap we've rented.
I going to watch more prime television this year I think. I'm really hooked on Vegas, and I haven't watched CSI Las Vegas in ages, but I always liked it. L&O has really lost its shine for me, I think its overkill. I'm kind of looking forward to "Bones", I heart David Borenaz. I tried Desperate Housewives, but the five minutes I watched they were having a fancy dinner party and the Eagles were playing in the background. I don't know, there's something wrong with that. I adore the Eagles, but ewww, ya know? I just couldn't get into it, first impressions are everything, I guess.
