ok, so i have this new favorite show- for the record, i can only handle watching one or two shows a week on a regular basis, not counting pbs mystery or masterpiece theatre, of course.......but only if the offering is good.......anyway, i enjoy this borrowed abc show called monk- it is about an obsessive-compulsive police consultant who has solved murders two weeks running now. it is a stitch to watch the ocd stuff in addition to figuring out who-dun-it. he straightens stuff, he keeps his laundry in cellophane bags to keep everything fresh, he boils his toothbrushes between uses....that sort of thing. he is everything that i am not. anyway, i enjoy this show, as well as the show alias (also on abc?) which is kind of like the old mission impossible show- only with a young, extremely fit female lead. i know that i would watch more tv if i got cable, but i have drawn the line on cable, and will not pay the price for the luxury of hundreds of channels that will lure me into watching more television and reading less.
