but for now, it's just 17 varieties of L&O

An ordered list of TV shows I'd start following if I had the time, desire, and brainpower to add more:

1. The Office
2. Heroes
3. The Wire
4. Studio 60
5. House
6. Ugly Betty
7. Monk
8. Friday Night Lights
9. BSG
...
199. American Idol (the results shows are kinda fun, but I've never seen one where anyone actually sings, and I don't intend to)
200. 7th Heaven


The shows I actually follow now (67% of which are on on Tuesdays):

1. Gilmore Girls (but I'm a week behind!)
2. Degrassi: TNG
3. Ninja Warrior
4. Law & Order
5. Law & Order
6. Law & Order

Though I think I'm going to bump The Office down to the lower list, and maybe watch some Heroes or Wire once everything hits reruns again.

why Ugly Betty? i've never seen it but based on the ads, i dont understand why it's good.

oh no, that show is the shit. Funny, entertaining, and America Ferrera (I think that's her name, the main character) is very good.

Also, Josh I think you would really enjoy Heroes--to the point that I am actually surprised that you dont already watch it.

but *why* is it good? and what's its take on current beauty standards?

I also enjoy Ugly Betty. What I get from it, and what America Farrera has said in interviews that a lot of her fans have told her, is that beauty is really what is on the inside, and that most of the people who work in fashion are callous and mean and shallow, but if you gave them a chance, they could be more than 1 dimensional characters.

That's my two cents.

Agreed on that score - it seems not so much "up his alley", as to be, in fact, a scale model of his alley. But then, we haven't talked in a while...
