Wednesday TV IS Pretty Darn Good

OK. Back in the glory days of Gilmore Girls, Tuesdays were my favorite night of television. GG was complete appointment TV. Wednesdays were a total wasteland, when I took a late yoga class and didn’t even have to worry about recording one show.

Now, Tuesday is dead to me, and Wednesday has just the right amount of shows on. I watched Pushing Daises, Friday Night Lights, and Dirty Sexy Money. (Well, most of Dirty Sexy Money–I got a little tired and had to go to bed before 11.) And I enjoyed them, for the most part. I’m not sure they are appointment TV as of yet, but Pushing Daises is well on its way.

Friday Night Lights was not a disappointment, either. It was a little like they erased 99% of last season, but other than that, I enjoyed the show. I will be glad to see Smash gone. He is an entitled little baby. I think he is an accurate portrayal of some young athletes, but the level of reality his character includes does not make me want him as a friend or screen entity.
