In the Summertime....

Summer has finally made an appearance. Despite the persistence of April showers that fell through June, summer has managed to break through for a few days here and there. Today is a steamy 90 dF. Which is supposed to make me not want to go home and veg out on the couch, but rather go for a walk, or eat dinner outside, or do SOMETHING that doesn't involve watching more TV. And yet - all I want to do is go home and watch my favorite shows.

The most frustrating part about all the above.....? THERE IS NOTHING TO WATCH ON TV! The bad part about the summer (at least before the unbearable heat and humidity usurp top spot on the bad list) is that all my favorite TV shows go on hiatus. On summer vacation, as it were. So I have to last for three months without the Eppes brothers, and the Gilmore family, and Mer-Der et al. No Amazing Race, and saddest of all - no more Josh Lyman forever. True, there are the few new shows that are pretty decent (I could watch Dule Hill in a coma), but I miss the staples.

Granted that by the time fall rolls around I will be hooked on more shows thanks to Netflix, but in the meantime.....I miss all my tv friends. Re-runs and Netflix are a sad substitute.
