Too Much TV

There's this really odd show on right now. It's on IFC, but I'm not sure what it's called. Hey, wait, I can hit the info button. Oh, there it is. It's called Food Party. It looks like it cost about $38 to produce. I'm going to reserve judgment. It seemed humorous at first, but I'm not sure I get it at this point.

Let's see what I have recorded on the DVR. First up, How the Earth Was Made. I enjoy this show, but I'm not sure I accept all of their time lines.

Pawn Stars. A show about a pawn shop in Las Vegas. It's kind of like the Antiques Roadshow, people bring in stuff, the guy tells them what it is and how much he'll pay for it. I hope they keep the show about the stuff, and not the people.

Mythbusters. Adam kind of annoys me sometimes, but those guys have the best jobs in the world.

The This Old House Hour. I never give to public television (well, except when I pay taxes), but I never miss an episode of this show. They fix up an old house. Usually the owners have a very big budget, so the homes end up looking very nice.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold. I think it's Cartoon Network. Batman teams up with any number of other heroes, most of whom I've never heard. Also, Batman can do anything on this show, including time travel and separate his spirit from his body which allows him to fight crime while being buried alive.

Psych. USA. He's a detective who pretends to be psychic.

The National Parks. The Ken Burns documentary, on PBS. Not quite as interesting as the WWII doc, so it's taking me a while to get through.

There are also some movies recorded, like The African Queen and The Fearless Vampire Killers. Occasionally I'll go through the schedule and record movies from TCM.

That's just what I have recorded. There are other shows set to record. And then there's the football games that I try to watch.

I'm pretty sure I watch too much TV.
