Daytime TV

I've written about the travesty that is daytime TV before. But when you're working your butt off and just want something on in the background, it's actually better that you're not totally into the crappy shows. At least, this is what I've discovered while working here, where we have TVs at our desks.




So, depending on what's doing on, here's what I may watch at any given point in the day:

9am-10am
Watch O or taping.

10am-11am
The View, even though I can't stand that Hasselback.

11am-12pm
Wendy Willlllllliams. How you derrring?

12pm-1pm
Deal or No Deal. Should be called Dealer or No Dealer because, seriously, most of those people are on DRUGS.

1pm-2pm
Afternoon taping or Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. I'm convinced that this will serve me well next time I do trivia.

2pm-3pm
You ARE NOT the father.

3pm-4pm
Ellen, because she's darling.

4pm-4:30pm
Extra, because I'm lame.

4:30-5:30
Friends, back to back.

5:30-6:00
The Office, back when it was good.

6:00-6:30
Seinfeld, while I wrap up my day.


Lately, however, I've actually gravitated towards my dear Hulu and started getting into some new shows. The latest series I'm into? Fringe. I've been watching Season 1 the last few weeks, mostly because I have a crush on Mark Valley for no real reason. Let's take a moment:



Look at that smirk! Did you know he's married to his co-star on Fringe, the blonde chick? Yet another travesty.

Moving on.

Anyway. Fringe. It's weird and creepy, but still a step above Maury, even with it's gruesome monsters and reality-suspending plots. Actually, maybe it's just like Maury...

Or, maybe it's time for me to get back to work. After all, Wendy Williams is almost on.
