I've been busy.
Yes I just used the lamest overused blah excuse a human being can. So there.
As for my recent viewing, I don't have much of quality to report. Lots of sports on TV these days, football, basketball, hockey, nascar. Sundays are primarily sport watching days. This Sunday being an exception because I'll be in Homestead at the Nascar Championships.
Sports is fun to watch on tv if:
you have a moderate to strong affiliation witha particluar team or school
you understand the basics and rules of the game. Otherwise it moves too fast to follow and you lose interest. And sports like baseball, hockey, and basketball play so many games they are not as compelling. Nascar has a lot of races, but every driver races on the same day which makes it more compelling. Football, there are only 16 games so each Sunday has a lot of weight. There are special events that draw interest even of non-fans. Super Bowl, World Series (sometimes) March Madness. Tennis and golf really only draw very specific or committed fans. Ice skating is a sure bet for women and just the opposite for men. The Olympics of course draw a diverse crowd. Xtreme sports are hit or miss and usually get young and or extreme sports enthusiasts.
Interestingly enough, I'll sometimes miss football to watch Grey's Anatomy. I also like Surface on Monday nights. Nip Tuck on Tuesday nights. Then nothing till Sunday again.
